Not Ready For My Mate novel Chapter 67

"I loved living with them. They treated me like I was their son, brother. I had a perfect life and it became more perfect when I met you guys." Okay, we weren't fully lying when we told them that. Sure our lives first went downhill after Uncle Steven died but it sort of became perfect when we met our family.

"Though I just have one question Mom?" We turn to her, looking her up and down, examining her. "Yes, Sweety?" She asks, seeming interested in what we have to say.

"When you were kidnapped, when they took me out of you, when you were fighting, and when Uncle Parker died. Why didn't you use your powers?" We ask her, always wanting to know the reason.

She sighs and smiles sadly. "Wolfsbane. They had injected me with wolfsbane when I was knocked out. When they took you out I couldn't use any of my powers. When it was the war, that was the night of the Blood Moon. I was stronger so I could over power some of the Wolfsbane but it didn't give me access to most of my powers. Thats why I couldn't use my powers at all. Thats why...I couldn't save Parker." She says as a tear falls down her beautiful face.

"Mom, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset." We say to her as we grab her hand and kiss her knuckles. She chuckles which in turn makes us and father smile.

"Thank you for telling us Theo."

"Thank you too Mom."

"Well I enjoyed that breakfast. So shall we hit the road again?" Dad asks standing up and walking over to the payment stand. "I don't know why he asks us, when he's just going to get up and go pay anyways." Mom sighs making us laugh.

We shake out head and walk back to the car. We climb in and the trip continues.

We're happy we told them how we lived in the beginning. We're also happy that we know the truth about our past.

"We have to do something, to stop them Gage."

"We'll think of something Theo. Don't worry, nothing is going to happen to our family. Not on our watch."

Izzy's POV

I woke up to a loud banging on my door, I groaned and stood up, walking tiredly to the door. I opened it up and saw it was Beau.

"Get dressed our guests will be here in twenty minutes." He grumbles and walks away. Why did he come to tell me this? I shrug and shut my door closed, I walk to my small bathroom and strip off my old clothes.

I place the small piece into my mouth, wearily might I add. What is going on with them? "A-Alpha Beau?" I stutter out, hoping he won't get mad that I'm addressing him.

"What?" He snaps looking up at me with a glare but the glare quickly disappears. "What is it Izzy?"

I stiffen as he uses the nickname he gave me when we were younger.

"W-Why are y-you b-being so n-nice to me?" I ask him while taking another small bite. He doesn't reply, only glares at his plate. "It's none of your concern."

"B-But-"

"I said it's none of your concern!" He yells and throws his plate against the wall. He stands up and grabs me by my neck. He picks me up, making my feet dangle as I try desperately to breath.

"Beau! Put her down!" I hear the Alpha yell. Beau immediately drops me making me land on my ankle. I cry out as I feel pain surge through my leg.
