Emily's Pov
My mom has been terribly worried about the mate issue with Alpha Mayhem i even heard her blaming herself for my condition but that wasn't what I was after now what was on my mind was how I would find my biological parents without hurting my mom's feeling and I didn't know how to approach her about the questions that was bothering me.
"Aren't you going to work today?" Mom approached me from behind.
"You startled me." I drop the plates on the floor.
The glass spread around mom face palmed herself she bent down and picked the broken pieces she prevented me from picking them.
"I'm sorry baby I didn't know I scared you, you were lost in thought, what was on your mind?" She asked while picking the broken plates.
"Just some stuff." I didn't know how to tell her.
"Is it about Alpha Mayhem?" She stood up.
She went over to the dustbin and threw the plate there then came back to face me. I sighed and turned back to continue the dishes I was washing.
"Emily?"
"Philip had other business to do in the neighboring pack so he closed the shop…I guess he doesn't trust me to handle the business."
"That wasn't my question."
"Then what? You asked why I wasn't at work?" I turned to face her.
"Emily." She gave me that mom look.
"Fine." I grunted.
"I'm not thinking of Alpha Mayhem, I'm thinking of who my biological parents are and why they left me."
There was silence, I could see the hurt in her eyes but she masked it thinking that I didn't see it.
"That's why I didn't want to talk about it." I turned back to what I was doing when my mom didn't answer.
"It's not like that Emily." She touched my shoulders.
"You know how much I care about you, my child…I just don't want you to get hurt…if you find out your real parents weren't what you were expecting." She said softly.
"I won't mom." I was done washing.
If finding out that my parents really abandoned me and that they wanted to do nothing with me it would hurt my feelings, but I had gone through worse.
What could be worse than your pack hating on you?
What could be worse than your mate rejecting you publicly?
If it's about my parents rejecting me also then so be it.
I just wanted to know why they did what they did.
"I adopted you from the foster home Emily." She bowed her head sadly.
"The foster home?" Then someone must have dropped me there,the people there should have a record or something that could help.
"Then it settled, we just have to go there and ask them some questions." I smiled happily.
"It's actually complicated." She replied.
"Why?"
"The thing is-" I shrugged for her to go on.
"The foster home isn't in this pack." She said quickly.
"What!" I was confused.
"Then where?" I didn't like the fact that I was pursuing this matter,I wanted the conversation to end…..
"The Silver Claw Pack." She looked away.
""THE SILVER CLAW PACK!!" My mouth went open.
She nudged me to bring down my voice. I blinked a few times wondering if I heard her well.
"The silver claw pack?" I whispered.
"Yes." She nodded.
"Why will you do that?" I whispered again.
From what I heard and what was recorded in history the SilverClaw pack and our pack the dark moon are core enemies this is because from time past now in the power struggles and in terms of wealth and dominance the SilverClaw has been leading it's the first followed by our pack then some other pack.
Stories have it that the entire Werewolf clan fears and pays homage to the people of Silver Claw even though Alpha Mayhem is scared of them.
Why on Earth will my mom go there to adopt me this alone could have her head in a platter!
"Wait a minute?" Does this mean I'm one of them and my parents are from SilverClaw?
"Mom why will you go through such an extent, do the people know that you went to the SilverClaw?" I frowned at her.
"No they don't know which pack I went to, they don't really care about those that aren't royal." She explained.
"But some of them knew that I'm not your blood?" I asked her.
"Yes." She answered.
Now I know why they didn't like me. I was weak and I wasn't from their pack.
"That means my parents are in the silver claw,case settled." I hugged my mom.
"Don't tell me you are planning to go there alone?" She asked amidst the hug.
"You are coming with me." I chuckled.
After mom and daughter's conversation Stella chatted me up. I thought it was urgent until I met her and saw two tickets to the movie with her.
"You've got to be kidding me, I spent some bucks running down here." I yanked the tickets from her.
"Sorry." She pouted.
"We haven't been having the girls night like we used to do so I could only resort to this your highness." She bowed.
"Whatever, I'm in!" I said excitedly.
We ran to the cinema after she told me the show was starting in some minutes.
"Heard anything yet?" She munched on my popcorn.
"Hey, you have yours." I slapped her hands away.
"Heard what?" I rembered her question.
"From Alpha Mayhem?" She asked.
"Yes." I answered with a mouthful of popcorn.
My eyes were fixed on the screen. Stella was distracting with her questions. We had gotten to the place where the lead actor was about to confess his feelings to the lead actress.
"So?" Stella blocked my view.
"Come on!" I yelled at her.
All attention was now on me. I bowed my head and whispered sorry thanks to Stella. I missed crucial information!!
"The scoundrel made me accept his rejection. He took me all the way to the pack house to do that." My eyes were now on her.
"What!!" She stood up in anger.
I pulled her back to her seat alerting people's attention again will make them throw us out of the cinema.
"He did that?" She lowered her voice.
"There is something I want to tell you. I mean there is someone bothering me lately Stella." I sighed frustratedly.
"Who?" She was curious.
"Colton."
"His name is Colton."
