Chapter 40 - Orange juice

************Raymond*********

Anna wasn't wrong when she said I needed rest and time to bond with my sister. I've only been home for 3 days and I feel really great. Maybe it's because I have Lizzy with me?.. yeah that should be it. I wouldn't be able to do this on my own normally.

I and Lizzy have been... catching up. On our lives and everything. Her company's doing great and would be needing a heir soon. She hasn't found her second chance mate so she's thinking of adopting a child as soon as she's healed.

It made me really happy to see that she's moving on and making ways for herself instead of depending on that really tragic past.

Countless times, I've thanked the Moon goddess for keeping her from loosing complete control. I've seen a lot of mates go completely feral when they loose their mates. Their wolf and human side begin to contradict each other, fight each other until one of them takes over and the other side is suppressed, almost killed even.

Which is why I can't let Anna go no matter what. I might have control of my wolf but would she? Whether she knows or not, her wolf is in there and according to Ritchie, he communicates with her when we are close.

Ritchie says she's a really strong wolf. Probably thrice as strong as I am and that he could sense heavy potential in her..so heavy it could kill her....I've tried really hard to not think about that part.

But we believe in her, she can tame it and bond with it. It will take some time but that's why she's got me, right?

I haven't told Lizzy about her though. I would love for the both of them to meet but she doesn't know what has been going on, especially with my dad. I don't want to bring her into it or leave any loose ends. It's better she stays out and away from this drama.

I've been in bed awake and turning for 3 hours now. Apparently I'm not tired enough to sleep. Tomorrow is Friday and that's in a few hours. I have to take Lizzy to the hospital to get checked thoroughly. I already told Steele to be on standby.

I'm really curious as to what would be strong enough to want to take down my sister and her wolf. Given the symptoms she listed, it doesn't sound remotely human at all. It has to be something else, something supernatural. But what could it be? And how did she get involved?

I've been asking myself these same questions since she related her symptoms to me. I told Steele about it and his reply sounded too distant to be something ordinary.

Steele despite being a supernatural, doesn't like the supernatural. He detests it a lot. The rules, the entire concept annoys him. But he is one so he became a doctor so that he could make life easier for us supernaturals. And it's safe to say that he's been doing a pretty nice job.

I looked my alarm clock to see that it was 5:30 already. I leapt out of the bed, tugging on my shorts so they do not fall from my waist as I made my way downstairs to the kitchen.

I looked around the kitchen cabinets and the fridge to check for any available foodstuff. I actually planned on making chicken soup but there's no chicken in the freezer so I'm going to make Mac and cheese. She always loved it so it shouldn't be an issue.

I rinsed out the pan I was going to use and started performing my magic.

Not long after I had started, Lizzy trotted out of her room yawning really loudly trying to piss me off. She knows I hate that sound.

"What a way to greet your twin brother, you've learnt nothing." I said sitting the contents of the pot on fire.

"Oh please, I've learnt tons of things. But no matter how much I learn, I would always yawn!! I mean it's a completely natural..duhh" she said rolling her eyes and taking the orange juice out of the fridge.

I snatched the juice box from her just before she could complain.

"What is it?!" She said trying to reach for the box.."What do you have against orange juice now?" She asked folding her arms across her chest.

"Take water first. As soon as you wake up, You take water, go for a run and then come back for the orange juice. That my beloved short sister is how to live."

" Well sadly, my idiotic good for nothing brother, I do not care, we are all gonna die anyway, so can I have my juice back now? " she said putting you her hands before her .

"No, miss. I'm sorry." I said placing the pack above one of the top shelves as she screamed at me. This feels really good.

She used to be taller than I was then and would rub it in my face, but now, I've gotten the upper hand.

I went back to my cooking after placing the orange juice higher than she would ever be able to get to even with a seat.. hehe paybacks a bitchh.

She stopped throwing tantrums after she realized that I wasn't going to get the pack for her and left to the gym.

Wew!!! She's a nutcase .

I continued making my meal which was ready in no time. I served mine in my plate and hers, taking them to the tiny dinning table.

After setting everything up, I made my way to the gym to call her. Seeing her trying to work out cut my heart. She looked so lanky.. the sight isn't pretty at all.

Hopefully by the end of today, We'd get some news.

"Come on now, no need to be serious. Let's go have breakfast." I said walking up to her side.

"Nop." She said, trying to look effortlessly composed . But it wasnt cute because I could see exhaustion and stress on her face and body.

"Lizzyyyy" I called "Come on let's go have breakfast."

"Nop." She said popping the 'P'

"Alright then." I said, taking long steps to where she stood and lifted her off the treadmill, carrying her in a bridal style to the dining table.

After placing her in her seat I went over to mine and dug into my meal immediately. I've been awake for a long time now. Breakfast was beyond due.

" I can't let the doctor take my blood."
