My Name is NOT Cupcake

Chapter 36

Suddenly, the wolves weren't following me anymore. It ended with many continuous howls. I knew Elias

knew I was gone now.

But I did it. I was free. As the familiar buildings of my town passed, the sun began to rise. I knew I

couldn't go home. I wasn't protected there. Elias could just as easily take me again. And he could

possibly hurt my family in the process.

Mason.

I drove until I was coming up on Mason's house. It was big and kind of hidden in the forest and now I

knew why. He was apart of an Alpha family too. I parked the car and pushed myself to the door. Mason

threw it open the second I hit the doorstep and hugged me tightly. I released a breath as my tears

spilled over. He pulled me inside and let go of me like I burned him.

"You're mated," Mason noted. I hesitated before I nodded slowly.

"I didn't want to, but I went into heat and I couldn't control anything. I was in so much pain... I didn't

want it to happen," I cried. He sighed and pulled me back into a hug.

"What's going on? Nova, you shouldn't be here. We've got Rigor Moon Sentinel lining up on our

boarder," Mason's dad, Peter, said coming into the foyer.

"Dad, we're not throwing her to the dogs. We need to protect her," Mason defended me. "I still love

her," he admitted. I instantly felt bad because I couldn't think of loving anyone but Elias. I wouldn't

admit that out loud though. I wanted to feel for Mason what I used to, but I didn't.

"Okay, say we protect Nova from her mate, and she stays with us. You love her now, but when you find

your mate, everything is going to change. Then you would've taken Nova away from her mate and

created a rivalry for no reason," Peter retorted.

"Dad," Mason said sternly. There was a pause before Peter sighed.

"Alpha Madsen is going to go to war for her. Are you willing to put the entire pack in danger over this?

Nova is his mate. She is an Alpha's mate and we are the only thing in the way of them being together. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

You don't think he's going to destroy as much as he can on his way in?" Peter tried to reason with

Mason. I knew he was right. I saw his point. I knew what Mason's answer should have been. He should

have given me up and handed me over to Elias, but he didn't.

"Nova is apart of our pack. Just because the gene skipped her doesn't mean she isn't one of us,"

Mason said. I pulled away from him confused.

"Mason, what are you taking about?" I asked. They were both quiet before Mason pulled me into the

living room and sat me down.

"Your mother was a werewolf. She died during a fight with an organized group of rogues," Peter

answered. I shook my head.

"No... I don't believe you. I would have known. She would have told me," I said confused. Peter shook

his head.

"Your dad is human. Your mother, Noel, was not. When you and your brother were born, he got the

gene and you didn't. You and your father are completely normal and human, your mother and Nolan

are not. They are apart of our pack. Why do you think Nolan came to us when you went missing?

When Mason takes the position of Alpha, Nolan will be his Beta. We knew about Rigor Moon. That's

why the police weren't involved weren't involved in solving your kidnapping. We somewhat knew what

was happening," Peter explained. I didn't want to believe him. My brother and my mother... they lied to

me my whole life.

If a human mates with a Lycan, there is a chance that their offspring will be either Lycan or human.

Normally, the Lycan gene travels easier on the Y chromosome. The chances of a male offspring being

Lycan are greater, but it's not impossible for a female half-blood to carry the Lycan gene.

The book said something about a human mating with a werewolf. My brother was a werewolf.

"What the hell is that?" Mason asked with a small growl. I followed his line of sight and saw he was

staring at my collarbone where Kendra scared me. I blushed bright red as I tried to cover it with my

shirt. Mason moved my hands away and exposed the entire claw mark. The skin was slightly raised

and discolored from the initial scratch and the stitches. I looked anywhere but at Mason's face.

"How many times have you gotten hurt there?" Mason asked. I shrugged.

"Only twice. The fist time, I accidentally fell out of a third story window and landed on my back. The

second time was this claw mark. I got attacked by a were-bitch that Elias... fooled around with," I

explained, cringing at the memories. Mason's eyes widened in surprise.
