CHAPTER ELEVEN

Beatrice's pov Spending time with my niece gave me the clarity to know that I would protect her till my last breath just like her parents did. She didn't know about our kind mostly because her mother tried so hard to keep that part hidden from her. She was powerful and so many people were looking for that kind of power. We planned on hiding it for so long that it became hard to tell what she really was. She couldn't come into her nature because of the odora and the silver laced potion her mother had her drinking, the silver is not meant to poison her but with the right amount, it is to weaken her wolf and keep her still till the time is right. When my sister called me to tell me that she sensed danger and not just the kind that would pass, she warned me to prepare to have her daughter come live with me where there were wolves who could protect her if the need be. I accepted it whole heartedly because I wasn't able to give birth before my mate died. It was something I struggled for a while but immediately let go of. She gave me all the necessary requirements I needed to prepare for Avilla to come down here. I informed the knights who in turn promised to keep the secrets. They were good and well trusted friends of mine and I would trust them with anything and that is including my life. They promised to watch over her using Camilla their daughter, Rohan won't care because he was always brooding and insisted on being alone most of the time. He has always been serious with his warrior training that he barely had time to deal with teenage problems. With Camilla to protect Avilla, nobody would dare touch her in school. Camilla was the social butterfly of the knight's family, she was a strong wolf who was capable of protecting herself and Avilla too. And I knew that if she couldn't handle it then Rohan will step up to protect his sister. It was a plan that we had mapped out, it was just the three of us who knew what Avilla really was, the knights and I. they wouldn't tell their children because they think it's not safe to trust children with such secrets. Teenagers can be really mean to each other and it often leads to petty fights and that is not what Avilla needed right now, she needed a calm journey through high school for now. She didn't need anything that would test her anger right now. The only thing capable of waking a sleeping wolf is a strong emotion such as anger or finding your mate. The attraction you feel from finding your mate is enough to make you crazy and that would be taking a step backward. Only a strong male wolf would sense that Avilla is his mate even though she seems human right now. The only thing we could do was hope that she likes some human boy and smells like him enough to ward off male wolves in this area. Werewolves in this town like to keep hidden and secluded from humans and mating a human is clearly forbidden right here in the pack. Humans and wolves don't mix, they are scared of us and that fear is being changed to death wish when they come after us, we retaliate and that makes us look even bad. We have tried so hard to protect our nature from the humans because they tend to get a little crazy when dealing with what we are. So we remain normal in their sights and well, inhuman when they are not there. It was my job to protect my niece from danger just like her mother did, she was not like us, well not exactly. I have always known she was special from the moment she was born and we, being her parents and I swore with our lives to protect her till her mate can. Seeing her hair fly around her face and listening to the sound of her laughter was like music to the ears and I realized that I would do anything to keep hearing that sound. I couldn't tell her the truth now, not even the fact that her mother was not her real birth mother and neither was her father. I couldn't take that away from her right now. So I kept mute. Someday I will tell her just not now. 'Come on Aunt Beatrice, sing with me!!!" she said to me as she belted out the lyrics of 'with me" by Chris brown. I laughed at her goofiness but decided to join in, I sang the next part so loud and we laughed at how silly we were being together. She was having fun, I was having fun. It is exactly the kind of relationship I hoped we would have, I want her to be able to talk to me about anything like girl or boy problems, and anything at all I can help her with. We drove around time and I took the opportunity to show her some of my favorite places that I go to be alone sometimes, I showed her the gated community where the knights lived leaving out that there were over a thousand wolves in there. It's not like she was going to go knocking on their door anytime soon. I decided to build my house outside the pack for certain reasons that I can't say for now. It was my decision to move here so I could avoid certain drama involved in the pack house. Done with the tour, we headed back to the house with our dinner which consisted of barbecue Buffalo wings with the sauce and chicken fried rice, we would have a bottle of wine. There is no reason why I couldn't be the cool aunt
