Chapter 3 ‘Telling My Parents”

"Danniel's POV"

When I finally made it home I sought out Audrea. We needed to talk. To go over what was on my mind and what had happened today. I ran inside and as soon as I shut the door I heard my mom yell, "WHAT, she did what?" I tried to sneak pass the main living room, but my mom and dad were there waiting with Jack sitting on the couch. My mom called Bella come here we need to talk. I lowered my head and said," Coming mom. What now?" As I sat down in a really comfy chair I looked over at Jack and thought to myself how did he get here so fast and how did he find out where I lived. 

Dad started, "Bella we know that you want to go to college but this gentleman has come to us saying he is your mate. Please tell me you have not mated yet." I blushed and my mother covered her mouth as to say you didn't did you. I looked straight into my dad's eyes, " Why would you think such a thing and anyway? I am 19, and an adult now I can do what I want and don't need your permission, Do I?" "Bella as long as you live in my house you follow my rules and the rules of the pack." dad almost yelled through gritted teeth. Mom gasped as if she had been holding her breath, " Don't talk to your dad like that."  Jack then spoke up and said, " we have done nothing wrong sir but I just met her a few  hours ago, and I knew right away she was to be mine and I think she knew it too." Young man, this has nothing to do with you or your claim to my daughter." Jack looked at him like it was incredible that the current conversation had nothing to do with him. " Sir, " He said, " I think it does. I just came to tell you I am 24 years old and I have looked for my mate for a few years and have now found her, I do not plan on giving up on her being mine." I just stared at him, wondering why he said that and how dare he try to lay claim to my life. I cleared my throat and said," Um, don't I get a say in the matter it is my life. I know that I am only 19 and did not plan on being able to find a mate until I went to college. This is all happening too fast. Dad I am sorry for the way I spoke to you just now but I just want to be able to live my life." 

Dad stood up and walked over to me, he took my hand in his as he knelt before me and said, "Bella you know I only want the best for you and will give you anything your heart desires but this just can not happen now. We are on the brink of war with another pack and this is ." he trailed off as if he could not come up with what to say. I don't blame him." Dad I love you too, but won't the merging of our pack with Jacks make us stronger " I gave him a hug and mom came over and joined in. Then Jack cleared his throat, " She is right, but I do not think that getting married right now is on her agenda and I am willing to wait for her as long as she wants me too. I am in no hurry to get married myself. I just took over my dads pack and I am still trying to gain the respect that my dad has. If you want to know anything about my family, I can tell you what you want. I have no secrets and neither does my family. Also I have not told my dad this yet and I do not know what his reaction will be when he finds out that I have found my Luna."  

Dad just stared and said, " Your family does not know yet, you need to tell them right away. This is not something that you need to hide from them. It is a very important thing and really the decision about when the two of you will be joined is not yours to decide. This needs to be discussed between me and you father. I know who your are and about your family. Besides my pack yours is the strongest and biggest around." I got up to leave and my father said, "Stay put young lady, this is not over just yet." He picked up his phone and dialled a number. "HI, may I speak to Boris please, this is Danniel Williams of the Rosewood pack speaking. I know he may be busy but this is important and can not wait. Yes mam I will hold."
