The Summer Moon
Chapter 87 -

Malia

Ty and Liam work at a wolf sanctuary in Florida and when the wolves are howling they have to immediately go because they have to calm them down. This was the best possible lie of a story I could come up with as Alana and I sped back towards Ty's house in my car. My current plan consisted of giving Alana a full tour of Ty's house and praying that Ty and Liam would return by the time we were done. The story would be my back up plan, I couldn't exactly flat out tell Alana that we were all werewolves could I?

I thought back to when I first found out Ty's secret, would it have been better if he had flat out told me? I don't think there was a way he could have told me all of this without earning himself a total freak out, and honestly hearing something like this was unbelievable. Someone would have to shift to prove it to her or she's just think we had all lost our minds.

I pulled up in front of the metal gates at Ty's house and held out the fob that Ty had made for me. The gates swung open and I turned over to take a peak at Alana who had her head resting against the window. She had been quiet the whole drive over and I was worried about what she possibly could be thinking, it wasn't like her to be quiet. In fact the only thing she had said was "Where are the boys going?" As they took off, and I was too focused on getting us home and safe so I had opted not to come up with an answer to her question.

I parked the car and hopped out, Alana following me, then fiddled with my keys to single out the one for Ty's house. This was it, the first time I would use the key to his house. The thought made me smile, it was amazing how far we had come. "Woah, you have a key to his house?" Alana suddenly broke the silence as she looked down to my key chain. I gave her a cheeky grin as I dropped the keys back into my purse and opened the door. "Okay Malia I know you said the two of you were serious but I didn't realize you were this serious. I mean are you pregnant or something? He bought you an expensive car for your birthday, he gave you a key to his house, next you're going to be moving in together and you hardly even know the guy!" Alana started to ramble as we stepped into the house.

I grabbed her hand and took her straight downstairs, knowing Ty's parents would probably be upstairs right now and there was a back entrance in the basement that went out to the back patio so we could wait for Ty and Liam to return. "I'm not pregnant," I said turning to her once I knew we were finally alone. "Ty and I are in love, and yes we're really serious. I know it seems like we're moving fast but I promise I actually know a lot about him,"

"But how do you know you can trust this guy? I mean he's totally hot who's to say he doesn't have 6 other girlfriends," Alana's arms were flailing as she spoke, she paced around the room and I could tell she must be really anxious. Whenever Alana gets nervous about things she tends to focus on other problems to keep herself distracted, but my wolf was growling at the fact that she had decided to focus on Ty and I as her problem. Even if she didn't really mean what she was saying, just thinking about these things were making me angry.

"He wouldn't," I tried to keep my voice flat but I could feel myself boiling until it finally came flooding forwards. "How dare you say that Alana? Ty has been nothing but nice to you since you arrived, he does everything he can to make me happy and I am happy with him," I raised my voice at her and I knew my eyes were dark with my wolf coming forwards.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Alana jumped forwards and I squeezed them shut, willing myself to calm down the way Ty had taught me. But that didn't stop the fact that Alana had already seen them. She'd known me my whole life and never seen me like that before, there was no way she was going to let this go. So I took a deep breath and decided to just go for it.

"Alana I have to tell you something," I took her arm and led her to sit down beside me on a bench outside. Together we faced the forest line and in the distance the odd howl continued. I turned to face her slightly, fiddling with my fingers in my lap but I willed myself to be brave. I had to tell her. "I have a secret to tell you, and no matter what you have to promise you will never ever tell anyone,” I began.

"Oh my god you are pregnant," Alana's hands came up to her mouth and I dropped my head back looking up to the moon. This was going to be harder than I thought.

"I'm not pregnant," i corrected her, searching my mind for the right words to say next. Then I heard Ty's words from before in my mind, reminding me of something that could really help me now. There is no right way to tell someone something like this. And so I took a deep breath, looked up to her eyes, and blurted "Ty and Liam are werewolves, and I know this because so am I. That's why they had to go tonight, there's an attack in the forest by some other werewolves that are bad, called rogues."

Alana stared at me for a moment, then burst out laughing. Her hand came down to hold her stomach as she shook her head. "Malia that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, I thought you were going to say something serious," she said wiping a tear from her eye, but I shook my head at her.

"I am being serious," I stepped up from the bench unsure how to convince her, then Ty's voice hit me.

"Coming home Lia, everyone's okay. The rogues are retreating," he said, and a huge smile crossed my face. I spun to face the forest line and I could feel Ty's heart racing in his chest. He was moving fast, he was coming back to me. "Come in your wolf form," I asked him, suddenly having an idea. Ty and Liam could show Alana, there's no way she wouldn't believe us if she say Ty and Liam shift back from wolves into humans. After all, seeing Ty shift was the only thing that made me certain he was a wolf when I first found out. Suddenly two large wolves came through the forest line, Ty slowed down to a trot while Liam caught up behind him.

I turned back to Alana, to see her jumping up from the bench as she stared at the two wolves with wide eyes. "Holy god," she said, but stayed frozen as she gripped the bench as if it were holding her up.

Ty came up behind me and shifted, pressing against my back. His strong arms wrapped around me and all my anxiety about the attack disappeared. "I love you," he whispered in my ear, then let his lips graze down my cheek to my collar bone. "That was so freaking cool!" Alana suddenly screamed bringing our attention back to her. We both looked at her with wide eyes, but she had a huge smile on her face, her attention now shifted to Liam. "This is Liam," she pointed towards him, taking a step closer and I watched as Liam transformed back, the biggest smile on his face. "Oh my god you're naked," Alana jumped back and I quickly shielded my eyes.

"Liam, clothes!" I shouted at him and I felt Ty chuckling behind me as he slid on his own shorts. When I pulled my hand back Liam was doing up the button on his shorts, still giving a goofy grin to Alana who was watching him with wonder. "Why couldn't you react this good," Ty laughed in my ear, making me laugh as well. This was totally unexpected, although I guess Alana always did surprise me.

"Tell me more," Alana said turning to me again.

"Ask away," I told her, grinning and ready to answer all of her questions. It felt good to know that I had actually become accustomed to this world and could actually probably answer most of her questions. But Ty' came up beside me, and turned to me with a guilty look on his face. "We actually have to go to your dad's house right now, he said it was urgent," he said, and by the look in his eyes I knew this wasn't open for debate. I sighed, this conversation with Alana would have to wait until tomorrow, the important part was over. She knew the secret and she knew she couldn't tell anyone.

"I can answer questions," Liam beamed, jumping into the conversation. And to my surprise, even after the little progress we had made during our date tonight, Alana wrapped her hand through Liam's and together they walked off. "Is that really happening?" Ty asked me, thinking the exact same this as I. But I just shrugged, I guess everyone reacted differently to big news like that. Then Ty took my hand and together we went back to the car to head back towards my house.

We found my dad sitting on the patio waiting for us. In his hands he held a map with several red X's all over it and I sensed that Ty immediately recognized it and was upset. Ty laced his fingers through mine and led me up the stairs. "Your father thinks he picked up Jordan's scent again earlier today, about 50 miles from here," my dad said looking to Tyrese as we approached. At the mention of his father I felt Tyrese's blood boil.

"We can't be wasting people on this John, these attack are getting larger and more frequent. I need all pack members to stay in our territory because we don't know what's coming," I could sense Ty's alpha tone coming through as he was trying to keep his voice calm and collected.

"I know, which is why I'm going to make this trip quick. I'll only be gone 2 days, Savanah and the kids are going to stay with her parents and I'm hoping you'll go with them," My dad said, turning to me this time. 2 days away from Ty? Was he joking? There was no way I would agree to that. Ty's body tensed and I could tell her felt the same way.

"Why can't I just stay here?" I asked, stepping forwards.

"I don't want you staying here alone Lia," my dad said. But I wouldn't be alone, I'm never alone anymore and I love it. Ty and I spent every night together, even if my dad hadn't realize that yet. If I wasn't staying at Ty's house, he snuck in here at night after work and would snuggle with me until morning. We were hardly ever apart anymore, and I wanted to spend all my time with Ty, always.

"I can stay with Ty," I offered up, hoping it would make my dad feel more comfortable but it definitely made my heart settle. I was already smiling to myself, staying with Ty would mean seeing him every chance I could, and maybe it would lead to us moving in together. I wanted nothing more than to live with him, it killed me to ever be apart from him. I grinned to myself knowing Ty could probably hear all my thoughts in his head, and I could sense his eyes burning into the side of my face.

"You're okay with that?" My dad asked, looking up to Ty. Ty quickly snapped his head back to my dad, and when I looked up at him he had shifted to a more serious look on his face.

"Of course, she's always welcome to stay with me," My dad nodded his head in reply then left the two of us alone on the porch as he headed back inside the house. I turned to face Ty who was already pulling me against him, a hand on either side of my face.

"Move in with me," he whispered, the biggest grin spreading across his face and I knew he must've heard it all.

"Ty stop listening to my thoughts!" I giggled and jokingly hit him.

"Stop pushing them towards me, hearing your voice in my head is too beautiful to ignore," he whispered making me blush. "Move in with me," he repeated.

"You're sure? We're ready for this?" I asked him, but it wasn't really a question that needed answering. We both knew we were ready for this, we both knew how hard it was to be apart ever since I found my wolf and marked him.

"I am so so sure Lia, I love you so much I want to share every moment with you. I've wanted to ask you to move in with me since we came back from New York but I didn't know if you were ready and I didn't want to rush you," he rambled out. "I spend every night with you, of course I'm ready!" I laughed at him then pressed myself up on my tip toes and met his lips with mine. He kissed me back eagerly, his arms snaking around my waist and pulling my body against his. "Okay I want to challenge you to something," he said pulling away slightly to lean his forehead against mine. I looked up at him curiously, "let's get a house together."
