Show me

Meanwhile downstairs 

"What do I do Axel?".

Jaxson had come down the stairs and had slumped on the sofa. He pinched his glabella, he really didn't expect the night to end like this. He ran his fingers through his silky black hair and sighed throwing his head back.

"Calm down first bro, you don't know what she's gonna do, or what she's thinking."

"She's gonna leave me, my love is going to leave me".

Jaxson stared at the ceiling he felt he was waiting on his execution. Now that he had shared her warm light he didn't want to return to the lonely darkness.

"We don't know that and if she does we will get her back. She loves Charlie and I believe he is your chance to see her and prove yourself to her."

Jaxson was given a bit of hope at Axel's words of comfort. He sat up and crossed his legs looking at his brother. Hoping for more reassurance and advice.

"Mark and she have some history. She was so scared of him then maybe of me too. I think...maybe that scar she has."

Jaxson didn't want to even think of anyone hurting her so he didn't finish his thoughts.

"That asshole, I heard he rejected his mate saying she wasn't up to his standards and that he had chosen a mate but she fled. Could this be Paige?".

"Fuck, I hope not. Why was she so scared. What did he do?"

Jaxson couldn't be there for her in the past but he was sure he would always protect her in the future.

"We won't know anything till she wakes and if she wants to tell you. She might not. Give her time."

"I'll give her anything she wants except leaving me. That's the only thing I can't bear for her to do."

The next morning 

Paige woke early as usual. She looked to her right and saw her little cupcake wrapped up beside her. She turned to check the time on her phone then she starts to remember last night.

Putting it all together in her mind she then realised that she was in a house full of werewolves and Mark, he had found her. Before she thought it through properly she bounced up and changed out of her dress and she had started to toss her clothes into her small bag.

She remembered that this is how she has survived and has fled in every City when she thought that Mark was close to finding her. She went to the bed and sees cupcake as he stirs and wakes.

"Pretty sister hug". He reaches his chubby arms out.

Paige was conflicted, she loves her cupcake but would he or his dad or Jaxson hurt her, they hadn't so far. All they had shown her is kindness.

"Pretty sister?". Cupcake rubs his eyes. "Do you not want me anymore?". He starts to cry.

Paige sat on the bed beside him and rub his little head.

"Shhhh, of course, I want you. Don't ever think otherwise. I just woke up and needed a moment".

"You not angry that I didn't tell you I was a wolf?". His sparkling eyes stare up at her, how could she stay angry at her cupcake.

"Did your dad or Jaxson tell you not to tell me?".

"I didn't want you to be scared and leave me". Cupcake hugs her waist and buries his head into her.

"It's all ok cupcake. You stay with me today, ok".

He nods his little head as long as she stays by his side he would do whatever she wanted.

Before she would run and leave this City she wanted answers from Jaxson. She hated lies the most. Would he have ever told her the truth?

"I'll stay with my pretty sister and won't leave you today. Can I show you my wolf? I've only ever shown dad and Uncle before".

Cupcake seemed excited and proud to show off his wolf.

When she thinks of a werewolf she thinks of a monster with huge claws, huge teeth, snarls and pain. But when she looked at cupcake she can see his wee body. How could he possibly scare anyone, he may even be cuter.

"Ok, you can show me".

Before Paige's eyes cupcake turns into a grey wolf with a white belly. His wolf form is bigger than she had thought. He's about the size of her black Labrador Ozzy back home. She wondered how big Jaxson would be. But that makes her shiver. Marks wolf was dark and all she remembered was the claws as the dug into her skin, she shivered.

Cupcake licked her nose and she pets his wee head like I usually would. His hair was fluffy and he leaned into her touch.

"Ok, time to get up and get ready".

Before her eyes, a naked little cupcake appears before he covers himself in the bedsheet.

"What did you think?".

"I think you are fluffy and cute always no matter what you turn into".

Cupcake is quite proud and smiles at Paige's compliments he then puts on his pyjamas and runs to his room pulling her along with him to get changed.

They go downstairs and she sees Axel and Jaxson in the kitchen seated at the table. Jaxson stands and Paige stops and stands still not sure whether to run or go into the kitchen as she would normally.

He looks hopeful and worried about my response. Cupcake pulls her hand and enters with her into the kitchen. She uses cupcake as a shield and puts him between her and Axel and Jaxson.

Jaxson sighs at that, looking a little sad at her response. He knew it would be a long day ahead.
