Scarlet's POV ...
I have fully calmed already. Mom and I are sitting on my bed. We are waiting for dad and the one he told us that he will be calling. I have no idea who will dad call. I think all of the visitors from my 18th birthday dinner a while ago already left.
"Mom, who will dad call?"
"We will just wait for them until they will come here" She smiled at me. I was wondering if I could also ask her what happened to them with dad.
"Mom, may I ask another question?" I hope she will not get irritated.
"Sure, just ask me ... I know that you have formulated many questions in your mind because of what happened. I am very sorry Scarlet. I know that you are confused right now"
"I am okay mom. Yes, I am really confused but it is okay" I smiled at her. I was about to ask her my question but she talked again.
"Scarlet, your dad and I have been avoiding this to tell you, but it is your fate. We made your life as simple as we can. Your dad left his place and identity and he came with me into my human world. He told me that he does not want you to be in an environment where werewolves live. I also agreed with him because as a human, I want my daughter to live with me. We are happy, right? Until one day, your dad received a notice that you are the chosen one. We know that when the time comes, you will know your true identity. But we did not expect that you would be a powerful werewolf"
So that is what happened. I understood it more, but I think what my mom told me would not answer a lot of questions on my mind right now.
"We need to tell you already when you turned 18, and this is the day. I am sorry because we hid your true identity from you" She started to cry.
"Shh, mom, it is okay," I remembered the question that I was going to ask her. Maybe it would make her stop crying.
"Mom, I told you a while ago that I have a question."
"Oh yeah," We removed our hug from each other, and then she started to wipe her tears.
"My question is, how did you and dad meet? I mean your world is really different from his"
She smiled because of my question. She was about to speak, but my dad had already come and I think he is with the one he said a while ago that he is going to call. I can see a man behind him, but I can't see his face.
"Who is that dad?" I asked.
"is he the one you saw in your dream?" My dad moved to the side so that I can see the face of the man behind him.
I looked at him from his shoes until his face. I saw that his body is very muscular, and he has a really handsome face. I wonder why he looks very familiar to me. I can't understand why I can smell his good scent, yet, he is a little bit far away from me. I am just staring at him right now.
"Hello, Scarlet." He greeted me. I stopped staring at him when I heard his voice.
The way he said my name, I remembered that he was the one I saw in the forest, and he was the one in my dream last week!
How did he know my father?
"Yes dad, he was the one I saw in my dream. Do you know him, dad? What is he doing here? What going on here?" A lot of doubts again are formulating in my mind. My mind is already full of questions.
"He is your alpha"
My mind went blank because of what my dad said.
"Alpha?"
"As I told you a while ago, you are a Luna, and a Luna has a mate which is called the Alpha. Mates are like soulmates"
I laughed a little bit.
"So, are you saying that this guy who is standing in front of me is my soulmate?" I continued laughing.
"Scarlet, I am serious" I ended up laughing because l felt that they are all serious.
"Sorry."
"I am Tyler and believe it or not, I am going to be your husband"
My eyes widened because of what he said. I just met him and he tells me already that he is going to be my husband? Is he crazy?
"Dad is he serious? I do not even know him. No way" I am beginning to be frustrated again. I am astonished by what they are saying to me. Especially when Tyler said that he is going to be my husband. Did he just really say that in front of my parents?
Ugh.
"Scarlet, calm down. Let us talk about this slowly" I made myself calm again even if it is hard.
"You and Tyler need to be bounded to save a pack of werewolves-"
"Dad please, I do not want to hear any of it. I am so frustrated right now. A lot of things happened and there are a lot of things that I want to ask. Another one is I am not interested in being a Luna. Maybe they can just give it to someone else"
"It is not that easy, Scarlet."
"What is that pack of werewolves that needs to be saved? l am pretty sure they can find another werewolf to make it as their Luna" I looked at my dad.
"A pack are werewolves that congregate in a group. You and Tyler need to be with them to save them. They are not just a pack of werewolves Scarlet. They are also your own pack. This pack needs you and Tyler to lead them because their safety is uncertain."
l am just looking at them all. I do not know what to say to them. I am being surprised and not ready for what is happening. I kept silent for how many seconds.
"I have been waiting for you" Tyler went near me. His scent is getting stronger, and I am getting more addicted to it. I went away from him.
"I need to take some rest first"
"Maybe she just needs more time. She was just having her normal life for 18 years and think we startled her about her destined identity" My mom nodded and agreed with me.
"I will tell you my decision tomorrow"
"I will stay and watch you here" Tyler offered.
"Please, no. I can't think well if I know that you are around with me."
My dad came near me and then he holds my hand. "Scarlet, you do not have any choice and you can't make other decisions. Just think that if you accept your fate, you could help a lot of werewolves. They would suffer without you. If you would face your destiny you will be going with Tyler, and you would enroll in an academy for werewolves. You would be trained there to be a great Luna." My dad tries to convince me.
"I will just tell you tomorrow. I really need to rest"
My dad nodded at me.
After my mom and dad left, they kissed me on the forehead like they always do. Tyler is still here looking at me.
"I told you that I need to be alone," I said to him. He sat down beside me.
"What are you doing?"
"Happy Birthday to you Scarlet. I will wait for you" He smiled and then he winked at me. He just left after he said that.
I am now all alone in my room. I lay down on my bed. What am going to do now?
I am thinking of what my dad said to me and then suddenly, I heard that my phone is ringing. I saw that it was Beth calling me. I answered it right away.
"Hello, Scarlet! So, how is the birthday girl?" She greeted me. I can't tell her what is happening to me right now.
"I am fine"
"Okay, I just called to check on you"
I was thinking, that if I would accept my fate, then I would be leaving Beth, even Elly. They are my childhood best friends. It would be hard for me to adjust if they are not with me.
"Hey Scarlet, I am talking to you. Is everything alright?" I can't talk to Beth right now.
"Oh, yes. Definitely. I need to go now, Beth. Thanks for calling and checking on me. Bye."
"Wait! That soon? Okay bye."
I ended our call.
Will I accept my fate? I can see in my dad's eyes that he is really expecting a lot from me. I do not want him to be disappointed, but am I ready to leave the life that I got used to?
