Enigma

It’s been two days since Ben and Ethan shifted and I talked to my father, Alexander. It was a very eventful day. Zeno had been tailing me like mad from then. Yesterday I found him hiding in the tree line near my house. Mom was super mad but she let it slide because he very innocently said that he wanted to see me and I was running away from him which I was but I denied the accusations. Now, as a result, I am stuck with Zeno sitting beside me on the back porch, gawking at me like a creep.

The most shock came from Alex. He didn’t bring up the old things. I could see it on his face that it hurt him to even think about the past. He just asked me if we could start over and I agreed. He was suffering too and unlike me, he didn’t have an amazing family to back him up. Apparently the Knights didn’t know where he was till Cassidy dragged him back to Greycoast. They met at the airport. Greyson had brought up them up with him. He was all alone all this time. No wonder he looked like that. We are making progress now.

“Aria your mom is looking for you.” Lucas called from the back yard doors.

I nodded and got up to go inside. Mom had been resting all day yesterday to gain her strength back and today we are having a meeting under the name of a party in our house. Zeno tailed behind me without saying anything or making any noise. The house will be filled with newly mated couples soon. I cringed imagining the sight.

“Mom you were looking for me?” I asked as I reached the kitchen to find mom going berserk in there.

“I need help with the cake. Kick your boyfriend out. We don’t want the repeat of what happened earlier.” She said looking pointedly at me as Beth, Ben and Ethan laughed.

“He is not my boyfriend.” I snapped but nobody paid attention to that.

“The knife would have hurt her. I had to dispose it off.” Zeno said from behind me.
