Clayton's POV

During dinner Chandler and my family got along so well. Well, other than Luke. I never thought Luke could sink so low as to hold that again Chandler. I bet he probably thought it would get her to go out with him. I'm still mad that she told him first. But in the end I'm glad she decided to just let this happen. My heart has never hurt so badly, when she told me what was wrong with her. The thought of loosing her kills me. I know she probably thinks its weird how fast I accepted it. But she doesn't no that I can save her. The thought of being able to save her makes my wolf want to explode with happiness. I have to tell her about us soon. I don't know why her family hasn't told her. I mean her mom, dad and her brother are werewolves. How does she not know.

"What's the matter Clay?" I must have zoned out. I looked down at her. We're in the TV room again. She looked so tired after lunch I thought we would come in here so she could rest. I don't want her to waste her energy.

"Oh nothing. Why?"

"You looked deep in thought. Is something bothering you?" She looked worried. How is she worried about me when she has to go through this.

"I was just thinking."

"About what?"

"You." She smiled a little. I will never get used to how her smile makes my heart go crazy.

"I was thinking about you to." Those words gave me butterflies in my stomach. I'm a freaking guy I don't have butterflies in my stomach. "Oh my goodness your blushing."

"I am not." I looked forward but was stopped when she brought her hand up to my cheek and turned my head.

"That was so cute. You should blush more often."

"I wasn't blushing. It's just hot in here." She smiled and shook her head.

"You don't have to put the macho man act on for me. I won't tell anyone." She leaned and gave me a kiss on the cheek and layed her head on my shoulder. I can't hold this in anymore. I have to tell her about me. She told me about her.

"Chandler if there was way I could help you would you let me do it?" She lifted her head and looked at me confused.

"What do you mean?"

"If I could help you not be sick anymore would you do it?" She sighed.

"Clay you can't. There's nothing that can fix this. I already told you that."

"What I'm telling you is I can do something that will save you." She just shook her head.

"I knew you weren't going to take this well. I shouldn't have agreed to this." She stood up and walked across the room. "I need to go home."

"Just wait Cha-"

"No Clayton I want to go now. Either take me or I'll walk." She folded her arms and looked mad and sad.

"Alright." I stood up and walked over to her and she backed away from me.

"I'm gonna go get my stuff and then we'll go." I nodded and she turned to go up the stairs. I sat back down in the chair and put my head in my hands.

"What's wrong son?" My dad put his and on my shoulder. I looked up at him.

"I tried to tell her and it didn't go so well."

"What do you mean you tried. Did you not tell her then?"

"I told her that I could help her with her cancer and she got mad." He sighed.

"Well son that probably wasn't the best way to start it. So many people have been telling no after no. Then you tell her yes. And she doesn't even know how you really can help her. Just tell her the easier way son."

"How the hell is it easy to tell her I'm a werewolf."

"What?"

Chandler's POV

"How the hell is it easy to tell her I'm a werewolf."

"What?" Both him and his dad flipped their heads to me. A werewolf. How is that possible.

"Chandler." Clayton stood up and started to walk towards me. I backed away each step he took. My breath quickened. "It's true. Just let me explain."

"No. I don't understand any of this. I can't deal with this right now." I turned and ran for the front door. I pulled it open and started to run down the driveway. When I heard gravel crunching behind me I pushed myself to move faster.

"Chandler wait please." There is no way that I am stopping. And what is all this about him saying he's a werewolf. We were joking about it today but, is he being serious or what. Also, what does he mean he can save my life. How could he promise me something like that. Is it some cruel joke. Everyone has told me that there is no hope for me. During my thoughts Clayton slid to a stop in front of me. I came to a stop and put my hands on my knees I was almost completely out of breath. He still was breathing slow and even. "Just please listen to me."

"You know... what... I don't... get?" I said out of breath.

"What?"

"How were you mad... at me for keeping ... my secret from you. When you kept... this from me. If this is even true." I shook my head.

"I'll admit I was wrong for that. It just made me mad you were keeping something that important from me."

"I'm failing to see how mine is more important than yours."

"You could die with yours!" He yelled. It my body tremble. His eyes became shiny. "If anything happen to you I don't know what I would do with myself. I'm not gonna let you die." A tear began to go down his cheek. I felt like my heart has just been ripped out watching that. Why do I feel like this.

"Clayton I-" He gut me off by waving his hand in the air.

"No. I know this is going to freak you out but, just wait right here." He ran off into the trees and it became silent. Ok serious how is this going to freak me out. I stood there waiting. I started to walk back and forth. I heard rustling in the trees and I looked back over at the tree line. I saw a large paw step out of the tree line. Followed by the biggest wolf I have ever seen in my life. It's pretty much the size of a horse. I eyes widened. It started to come closer to me. I began to back away. As it was about three feet away from me it stopped. It was a shiny black wolf. It towered above me. I looked up into it's blue eyes. They were human eyes. It started to bow it's head to me.

"Oh my gosh. Clayton, Is this really you. Cause I'm pretty sure I can't get out of this predicament with kicking a wolf in the groin." A coughy laugh came from the wolf. "So I take it, it really is you." It nodded and started to inch closer to me. I tensed when he put his head next to my hip and rubbed the side of his head on me. I jumped back. "Oh I'm not ready for this." He looked at me confused. "Could you change back now. This is all kind of starting to freak me out." He nodded and ran into the trees. Oh my gosh he really is a freaking werewolf. My heart is going crazy right now. He came running out of the trees.

"Ok are you feeling okay." I couldn't help but, laugh about the twigs and leaves stuck in his hair. "Waite why are you laughing. Oh no your in shock aren't you?" I shook my head.

"You have twigs and leaves all over in your hair. You look homeless there sweet-" Oh my gosh I can not believe I almost called him sweetheart. He grinned and took his hands rubbed all the stuff out of his hair.

"Ok now that I don't look like I'm homeless. Tell me what your thinking." He stepped forward and grabbed my arms.

"Well, everything really hasn't set in yet. I mean you just told me your a freaking mystical creature. How am I supposed to take that."

"Umm I don't know. At least you didn't scream and run away." He sheepishly smiled at me.

"Waite is all your family werewolves." He nervously nodded.

"All but, Suzie (sorry I have been spelling Suzie differently all the time. So I'm gonna try to stick with this one.)"

"Why isn't Suzie one?"

"Well my dad turned my mom into a werewolf. So when they had us it was bound they would have a human child."

"Waite, so is that why she's sick. Well I mean. How do I put this."

"If she were a werewolf she wouldn't be sick." Oh my gosh. "If she's turned into one she won't be sick anymore." That is great isn't it.

"Well why haven't you guys changed her. How does that work. Why don't you do it?"

"Only her mate can do it." Waite what does he mean.

"Her mate. What does that mean."

"Well, in our world we have mates. It's a soulmate really. Like two people are made for each other. When we meet there is an instant connection." He brushed his hand over my cheek. "When they look into each others eyes. Nothing else matters. The touch between them is like sparks and it's one of the greatest feelings in the world." That last part made my heart drop. Chandler you fell for his crap. He just used you. He's already found his mate.

"So I take it you've found your mate." He nodded.

"Yes I have." I backed out of his hold.

"Oh." He looked confused.

"What's wrong?"

"Well, you tricked me Clayton. You have a mate and you used me." He sighed.

"Chandler what I'm trying to say is that your ...my mate." My mouth dropped and my eyes widened. I just stood there in shock. I didn't move at all. I stared at him and he stared back waiting for my reply. How is any of this possible. "You know it's not just my family either." I gave him a confused look. "There's lot's of families, Roxi's, yours , Zachs."

"Whoa, Did you just say mine. My family are not werewolves."

"Actually they are. Everyone except you and Nelly." How is that possible. And how would I not know.

"How do you know this?"

"Because your all in my pack. Your grandparents had you move here cause of the danger of you guys being on your own."

"Being on our own."

"You guys weren't in a pack their. So you would have been counted as rogues. Well, your parents and your brother would. So they asked my father and I if you could come and be in our pack."

"Why would they ask you?"

"My father's the alpha and he'll soon pass it down to me." Alpha. Not only am I a werewolves mate but, he's the freaking alpha. Why am I even worrying. I'm not having anything to do with this.

"I need to go home now." I turned and went to his car.

"We need to talk about this."

"Clayton, I have way to many things going on in my head right now. I'm to tired to think about this." He gave me a sad look. He sighed and came to the car. We both got in and he started the car and we pulled out. It was a silent ride back to the house. I couldn't help but, be mad at him and my family. Why have they kept this from me and my sister. If she's knows and I'm the one that was left in the dark. I'm seriously going to be pissed. We pulled up to my house and I started to get out. He started as well but, I stopped his hand. "I'm gonna need some time Clayton."

"Chandler please don't do this."

"I can't handle this Clay. I need some time to think about some things." I got out of the car and walked up the stairs to my house. I turned as I opened the door to see Clay's head in his hands. I wanted to go back and tell him it's ok. But I have a right to be mad. Everyone has been lying to me. I went in and shut the door. All I can think about is finding my parents. I walk into the den and find everyone sitting in there. I glare at both of my parents.

"What's wrong honey?" My mom tries to act all innocent.

"What's wrong. Wow you guys are just gonna sit there and act like nothings wrong." They gave me confused looks. "I see your confused. Well let me help you out here. When the hell were you going to tell me you three are werewolves." They looked at me wide eyed. Nelly just looked confused still.

"Wh--  what  ddo you mean?" My dad stuttered as the words came out.

"Don't give me that crap. You have been lying to me and Nelly. How could you keep something like this from us."

"Just wait a minute Chan-" I cut him off with the wave of my hand.

"So because of you three we had to move. I had to leave my friends and my boyfriend because you people had to save your necks." Wow that was a little harsh. "Then to top it all off I come here and find out that I'm your freaking soon to be alpha's mate." There eyes widened. My mom began to smile. "Why are you smiling?"

"Cause this is an answer to our prayers. You won't be sick anymore."

"What?"

"If you become a werewolf you won't be sick anymore." I won't be sick. But wait I don't want to be a werewolf.

"What makes you think that I want to be a part of your world. I want nothing to do with this." I walked out of the room with them yelling at me to stop. I ran upstairs to my room and shut the door quickly and locked it. I went to my stereo and turned on my music. I turned on 'The Lonely' by Christina Perri and blasted it. I didn't want to here anyone. I went and sat on my window seat and just stared out the window. I know I should probably be happy about this but, I can't help it. I wondered why Clay had taken the new of my cancer so well. There was a few knocks at the door. I ignored them and just continued to stare out the window. I must have zoned out cause I was looking out the window and then I saw a pair of legs in the front. I let out a scream and fell of the my window. I looked up to the window and saw that it was Nelly.

"Open the window." She was hanging from the roof. I quickly opened the window and grabbed her legs a pulled her in.

"What were you thinking. You could have broken your neck or something."

"Well, I knew you wouldn't answer the door if I knocked. So this was my only option."

"You almost gave me a heart attack." She laughed.

"I know I heard you scream then I saw you fall." We both sat on the window seat. "So how did you find all of this out." I looked out the window. I could feel the angry tears coming.

"Clayton told me. Then he told me about mom, dad, and Danny. He actually got mad at me for keeping my cancer away from him. When he kept this from me."

"You guys haven't even known each other for that long. How are you this close?"

"Apparently it's the connection we have since we're mates."

"Ok explain all of that to me. I don't get it. This is like a freaking twilight movie. Oh my gosh are there vampires?"

"Oh my gosh Nelly really. We live with a bunch of werewolves. I guess anything could be possible but, I could care less about that right now."

"I just realized something."

"What?"

"Do you remember when Danny all of the sudden got buff. That must of been when he became a werewolf."

"Oh I didn't even think about that. Also I've noticed that mom and dad look way young. Even grandma and grandpa do. I wonder if it slows the aging process or something."

"Well speaking of health what did mom mean that this is an answer to our prayers."

"I guess if I get turned into a werewolf it will make it so I don't have cancer anymore." Her eyes went wide.

"Why haven't they done it already. Why wouldn't you want it this."

"I don't want to be a werewolf Nelly."

"So you'd rather die than be a werewolf. What about us Chandler. We don't want you to die. Why wouldn't you choose the option that would keep you with us."

"Nelly you have no idea what I'm feeling right now. Don't try to make me feel bad about this. It's my choice no one else's."

"I don't want you to die Chandler. I can't live my life with out you. I've been scared of this ever since we found out. Your my sister. Your supposed to be there for me while I grow up. Your supposed to give me advice and talk to me about boys." She started to cry. I quickly pulled her into a hug and we both cried as we held each other. I don't know how long we were there but, she laid down and put her head in my lap. I went back to staring out the window as she fell asleep It was dark outside now. I couldn't stop my eyes from closing so I drifted to sleep as they closed all the way.

*next morning*

I woke up to the sun shining in my face. I groaned as I shoved my head under my pillow. Pillow, when did I get in my bed. I looked at my bed. I sat up with my eyes closed and shook my head. "When did I go to my bed."

"I carried you over when I got here." I screamed and turned to the other side of my room to see Clayton sitting in my window seat.

"What are you doing here?!" I yelled at him backing up into my head board.

"Your parents told me to come here." I heard running coming down the hallway and my mom and dad came stumbling in. I glared at them as the looked at me worriedly.

"Why did you tell him to come here? I didn't ask you to do that."

"We thought it would be the best idea." My dad said running his hand through his hair

"Well obviously you thought wrong. I don't want to see any of you."

"Come on Chandler. Nelly's come to terms with this why can't you." My mom asked inching her way towards me.

"Probably because you lied to me my whole life. I want you to get out of my room I don't want to talk to you." She opened her mouth to talk but, stopped her. "Just go!" I pointed to the door. My mom stood up and walked out with both their heads down. Clayton stood up and started for the door. "You." He turned and gave me a worried look. "Shut the door and come here." He quickly nodded and shut the door and came and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I'm sorry I should of asked you if I could come." He slowly looked up at me and met my eyes. He was nervous I was going to blow a fuse.

"It's ok it's not your fault." He sighed a little. "I'm gonna take a shower really fast. Wait here." He nodded and I got out of bed. I looked down at myself. I slept in the same cloths as yesterday. I shook my head and went to my closet and quickly grabbed some cloths. I went into the bathroom and turned the shower on to heat up. I took my tank top off and forgot that I had not shut the door. I went to shut the door and saw Clayton laying on my bed. He must not have slept last night. I shut the door and stripped the rest of my cloths and got in the shower.

The water felt so good. My muscles loosened and I quickly washed my hair and I got out of the shower and dried off. I put on my tank top and shorts and tied my hair into a messy bun. I opened the door and saw Clayton in the same position. He must be asleep. I decided to put on a movie. I went to my t.v and put one in and went back over to my bed. As I sat down on the bed his eyes flipped open.

"Sorry."  I said as he sat up.

"No It's ok. Did you get enough rest."

"Yes, but you didn't."

"I'll be fine." He had bags under his eyes.

"No your not." I slid back onto my bed and fluffed my pillows so I could lay down a little but, still be able to be propped up. "Come here." I waved him over to me and he sighed came closer and laid down. He put his head on my stomach and draped his arm over my legs. I put my hand on his head and started to brush my fingers through his hair. "Just go to sleep." He nodded and soon his breathing became even. I looked up at the t.v and watched the movie. I kept running fingers through his hair.

He looks' like a little boy. Well other than his beard. He looks' so innocent. I shouldn't have been so hard on him. I actually really feel like I love him. I guess maybe I do need to accept this. Don't get me wrong I'm gonna be mad that I was kept in the dark for so long. I looked back down at him. How was I so lucky to find an answer for all of this. It might not be your common everyday answer but, It's still is an answer. The movie ended and I grabbed the remote from my bed stand and turned the TV off. I put the remote back and he sighed and turned to his back. Good grief he's hot. I giggled to myself. I'm checking him out while he's sleeping. I got up to my and went to his side. I put a hand on each sid of his head. He looks so peaceful.

As I stared down at him my body started to lean down to him. As I got closer I could smell his cologne. Oh my gosh I could eat him he smells so good. I am such a weirdo. I've never talked about guys like this. His smell just makes my body melt. I drew my nose along his jaw line. His beard tickling a little bit. I came to his lips and put a soft kiss on them. As I lifted up his eyes fluttered open. I felt a smile come and he stared into my eyes.

"Do you feel better now." He smiled.

"If you wake me up like that all the time. I would feel better even if I wasn't." We laughed and he brought his hand to my cheek.

"I'm sor-" I brought my finger to his lip.

"Just let it go. I have. I just want to focus you and me." His smile grew wider. He leaned up and captured my lips. He rolled us over so he was hovering over me. He bit my lip and I didn't let him him. A low growl came from his chest. I couldn't help but giggle. He actually growled at me. Other girls would have freaked but, I just laughed. He did it again and I let him in this time. I little moan escaped my mouth and he groaned a little. I pulled away from the lack of oxygen and he started to kiss down my neck. "I love you." Oh my gosh did those words come out of my mouth. His head popped up and stared at me wide eyed.

"Do you really mean that?" He looked at me with a light smile. I thought about it. I really do mean it.

"Yes, I really do love you." His smile turned into a grin.

"I really love you." He leaned back down and kissed my lips again. I didn't think it was possible to fall in love with someone this fast. But I guess it is. I am completely in love with a man that I met three days ago.
