Chapter 6

Mila's POV

***Flash back

It was my 18th birthday.

it was a beautiful morning, I woke up and took a shower and brushed my teeth as always. And then I went downstairs.

"Slow down Mila, what's with the smile today!?"

My mom asked as I was running down the stairs. Of course she forgot it was my eighteenth birthday as always. I used to be mad but now it doesn't matter anymore.

"Morning Tyler." I said patting him on the head, taking a seat next to him on the dining table. He was only nine at the time.

"Morning Mila, happy birthday!" He smiled at me as he handed me a gift. He always remembers my birthdays on the other hand my mom was just standing dumbstruck after she head it was my birthday and she didn't even remember it. For the sixth time.

"Oh gosh, baby I'm so sorry, I didn't remember it's your birthday today!' She said coming up to me and gave me a hug.

We had grown used to my mom forgetting our birthdays by now.

"It's okay mom."

I said, getting her off me gently as she was hugging me so tight.

I used to get mad when she'd forget something like this but not anymore, cause I understood how tough it was for her to raise us, to as she had to be both our dad and mom at the same time cause, our dad had left us, seven years earlier.

He had a fight with mom over an affair my dad had with some girl sometime ago.

My dad went to work and he didn't come back home that evening.

I had my breakfast and left the house. I had heard my boyfriend Mark was planning a surprise party for me, for my birthday. Of course it's not a surprise if you already know it. But that's what I heard from his brother Andrew.

He was planning a surprise for my birthday alright. It's just that it was not a party, I caught him on bed with three girls. And he never even once tried to apologize for almost ten years, he just acted as if it were nothing.

I went back home with tears on my eyes.

"Honey what's wrong?" My mom asked. With a look of concern, she sat next to me on the couch.

"It's Mark?" I said quavering.

"He had three girls on his bed today! He's been fucking on me this whole time." I broke down into tears.

Mark lived across the street with his family, his family were very close to my brother Tyler.

They treated him like a member of their family, which was weird for both me and my mom, not to mention how weird there family looked.

They all looked the same age, there mom looked almost my age, but she looked older.

My mom did her best to keep Tyler away from them at first, but one day she just didn't care. My mom and her became friends.

***Present

"Mila wake up it's almost eight!" My mom says passing by my bedroom. She assumed I was still asleep.

"I'm already up mom," I reply, staring at my reflection on the mirror.

I woke up about twenty five minutes ago. I was taking a shower first.

I hear a knock from outside my room.

"Come in!"

"Morning, sister." Layla says opening the door and getting in.

"I'm not your sister Layla, what do you want?" I say opening my closet.

I hate it when she calls me sister. Layla is Mark's older sister. She's also my step sister, making mark my step.....brother.

When Mark and I were dating we had no idea we were related.

The woman my dad had an affair with. was Lynn Mark and Layla's mom.

Turns out my dad was a vampire. He was in a relationship with Lynn for three hundred and fifty two years, before they broke up. They had a daughter together 'Layla.'

Almost a thousand years later after they broke up, my dad met my mom, a human. My mom was nineteen at the time, while my dad was five thousand years old, but he looked like a 24 year old guy. She had no idea my dad was a vampire, They got married, my mom got pregnant, after nine months i was born. Unlike the other vampires I have no special powers, but I am immortal.

After five years of being married, my dad met Lynn again.

They started dating again. He didn't tell her he was married and Lynn got pregnant.

After months Tyler was born. He is a half werewolf, half vampire.

Lynn found out about my dad being married to my mom, so she ended there affair. My dad didn't tell my mom about his affair with Lynn.

Lynn is of royal Werewolf blood, it was her turn to rule over her kind.

It's forbidden for Vampires and Werewolves to have any kind of relations. It was going to be impossible for her to bring in Tyler in just as she did Layla, to avoid questions, Lynn decided to leave Tyler with my dad.

My dad took Tyler in, he had to reveal the truth to my mom about his affair. My mom was so heartbroken, she never forgave my dad.

But she raised Tyler as her own son.

Tyler does not know who his real mom is, he was raised by my mom. When Lynn came back from her duty, she moved next to us to watch over her son, as there are a lot of things that wish to harm him.

One of them is the Vampire's, they see him as a threat, they think he is going to wipe them all out. They think he's powerful.

*****

I walk down the stairs. My brother and Mark are playing video games, I take a sit on the stairwell.

"You haven't been around much these days."

Mark says walking up to me, with a smile or smirk or whatever on his face, you never can tell when he's smiling or smirking.

"How are you?" He asks, taking a sit on the stairwell, with me.

"I am great, how about you? You haven't been around much either." I reply paying attention on my phone screen.

He looks at me, and he stares at the floor. And I can sense an apology from him coming up.

"Let's not talk about it, whatever you're getting ready to say." I stand up from the stairwell, and I go sit on the sofa.

The last thing I need is a reminder of that day from him. I still can't forget it, even though it's been years I still remember it like it was yesterday.

I just feel like punching him on the face.

The door rings,I go outside to check it out, I open the door.

"Hey Bianca, come on in"

"Hi! How are you?" She gets in the house, and we take a sit on the sofa.

bianca is my friend, and I had invited her over for a job interview, with my brother Tyler.

"Morning sister, Morning Bianca."

Tyler says, coming down the stairs.

I take this as an opportunity, cause Bianca has a crush on my brother, and I think she's a great girl, so I've been thinking of, you know making them fall, each other? Impossible right? Well we'll see.

"Hey baby?" Valerie says closing the door behind her as she gets inside the house.

Well that's impossible, not with Valerie here.
