Callie's POV
I was laying in the hospital bed, my thoughts swirling around as Jaz told me all this new information about wolf shifters.
How did I have a wolf and not realise?
Who were my parents? Did they not want me because of who I am? My breathing hitched as I held back the tears.
"Oh I'm sorry! This is too much isn't it? Oh Callie I'm just trying to help you get all the information about your self so you can begin healing" Jaz spoke softly , gripping my hand reassuringly.
"No it's not you, thank you for helping me. Truly. I… I just can't help thinking this is my my parents abandoned me" I said with a sniffle.
"Oh Callie, wolf shifter parents are a force to be reckoned with , the bond they have with their pups is strong from the minute theyre conceived… it's a wolf thing! Anyways my point is I'm sure your parents had their reasons and it would have been extremely hard to leave you." Jaz said.
"Thank you" I didn't really know what else to say to that. If it would have been that difficult to leave me then why did they do it?
"I can help you track them down" a deep voice said calmly.
I looked to the doorway. There stood towering, one of the men from earlier. His pricing blue eyes stared into me as if looking at my very soul. His dark blonde hair messy as though he'd run his hand through them unintentionally. He was wearing a simple white shirt and grey slacks that left very little to the imagination in terms of the outlines of his muscles.
"My name's Jax, I ..I am.. glad to meet you properly" his voice smooth like honey falling from a spoon.
"You can help me find my parents?" I asked shocked, "how?"
He chuckled slightly, before answering he moved a hand behind his head and rubbed his neck "um well, I'm sure you've heard Jaz here call me alpha?" I nodded not really sure what that meant. " well me and my brothers, we're quadruplets, are the alpha wolves. We run our pack…. Like a king I guess you could say.. or prime minister?" I gawked at him.
Jaz burst out laughing, Jax shot her a searing look.
"I'm sorry I just had a mental image of you as Kings!" As her laughing slowed Jaz took a breath to calm herself. A slight smirk rose on my lips as she looked to me. " you obviously know that wolves, real wolves in the animal kingdom have a hierarchy?" She said questioningly.
I nodded trying to follow her explanation.
"Okay great so there are Alphas at the top, leaders, the strongest, most cunning and smartest. Then there's the Beta's the alphas right hand, the warriors of warriors, they offer guidance and support. There are Lunas, the female mate of the Alpha, to sum up- a queen" she smirked and winked at me before continuing "then there's the rest of us. Those in the positions I just mentioned basically run the pack."
I gawked at her. So the men arguing about me earlier.. calling me mate. One of the same men that's stood in this room now are alphas. And I'm their mate. Which makes me….
"No!" I spluttered out louder than anticipated. Jaz and Jax looked at me worryingly.
"I can't be a Luna" I whispered.
The bed dipped as Jax positioned himself next to me. He took my hand and called my name, I carried on looking at my lap when his other hand gently cupped my chin. His ocean blue eyes locked on mine.
" we will teach you everything you need to know, about the pack, us and how to connect with your wolf. We will protect you and keep you safe. We will help you track down your family. Just… don't give up yet." He said softly but surely.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and nodded.
