Chapter 8

Daniel's POV

I left the hospital immediately the doctor came in to check my mum after she slumped. I went back home thinking on what was wrong. First Anna and now my mum, they are all behaving like they know something I do not know. I have to find out what they know. I remembered Anna's promise to me and it made me feel giddy, I was happy with the fact that I might be in a pack. I have always wanted one just like other wolfs. Tomorrow, i would find out from her.

When I got home, I showered and I decided to take a nap before my dad comes back. When I woke up, it was already late in the night. I went to my mum's room and met her sleeping. I could not find my dad anywhere. Did he travel again? I thought to myself. I went down the sitting room and did not meet him. I went to the kitchen and saw him preparing something which I think was for my mum. He has always loved my mum, i knew that. But because it was a family business that he took over, he is always absent from home but the little times he spend when he comes, even if i do not feel it, he makes sure my mum does.

I wanted to walk back into my room when my stomach grumbled. He heard this and looked up

"Daniel, what are you doing here? Are you hungry? He said."

"I was looking for you upstairs and could not find you so I decided to come down and check you here. I will be going back upstairs now."I said and started walking away

"We need to talk Daniel, I will call you when the food is ready, you can go back to your room first." He said

I nodded at him and left for my room, even tho I do not like him because of his traveling and all sort, he has always made sure I never lacked in any areas when it comes to money and he tries to talk sometimes, most times lecture. I wondered what it will be this night. I took my phone out and saw it was dead, i have forgotten ti charge it since I went to the forest. The moment I thought of the forest, my wolf hitched me to let us go for a run.

"I also want too but with my dad at home, I can't." I mind said to my wolf.

"It won't take time, he might not know you left the house." He replied

"After we talk, we can go on a 5 minutes run but now, I can't take any risk." I said to it and cut off the connection between us.

I plugged my phone and went downstairs if I could help setting the table, but it was already done.

"Go and wake your mum and bring her downstairs." My dad said.

I went to my mum's room and saw her staring at the ceiling.

"Dinner is ready, Dad said you should come downstairs." I told her and turned my back to leave.

"I can feel it, you have connected with your wolf. You are trying to get a pack. Must you know about your powers? You can just live like every other teenager out there, the risk you are taking is dangerous. You do not care that you might not see me anymore when you join the pack, I am not telling you to not join. If that is what you want, so be it. It might help you gain friends and know more about your wolf. But if you come in contact with 'you know who', tell me and run away from him. He is a very dangerous person and I cannot afford him collecting you from me."

By the time she was done saying all of it, tears were already coming down from her face. She walked past me and went to the dining table. I was now curious about who my father is, how did he look like and how is he a dangerous person. I went to the dining table and we all ate quietly. My mum retired to her room after eating leaving my dad and I on the dining table. I packed the plates to the sink and washed them. After that, i went to the sitting room to meet my dad. He started by saying

"Daniel, I know this might sound somehow to you but we are moving away from this house. I think this place has been so lonely for your mum and she needs a lively place. The doctor told me that she has been thinking too much. I know I might not be around but always know I look out for you two. You are the only two family i have and love the most

To say I was shocked was an understatement, I was short of words. It was not the moving part that shocked me but the fact that my mum was thinking. She goes out everytime, to one neighbours house or the other. I had no problem in moving out, I had no friends whatsoever, I looked at him and replied

"It is fine, we can move out anytime. It is for the best. Have you told her?" I asked him.

"I am going to tell her this night but I decided to tell you first. You would have to change school also." He said.

"Do not worry about that dad. That is not a problem. I would be going to bed now, Good night." I said and started walking towards my room.

"Goodnight to you too" he said.

I walked into my room feeling sad for some reason. I had to meet Anna quickly. My dad was unpredictable, we might not be staying in this country anymore and he might not tell me. I had to meet her and it was this night. I mind linked my wolf.

"Let us take our run now, shall we?" I said

My wolf growled under its breath and I decided to pass through my window.

Tbc....
