Chapter 19:

Evangeline's PoV:

Now:

A groan slipped past my lips as I opened my eyes, blinking a few times I slowly sat up, taking the cover off my legs and slowly placing them on the floor as I looked around the room. It was clear it had been a while, no one was here and as I looked out the window the sun was beginning to set. I sat there for a minute, eyes unblinking. I wondered about what had happened for me to pass out. My mind seemed to have settled from waking up and before I knew it memories were passing through my mind.

"Look I-I'm sorry I didn't t-tell you what I kn-new but I didn't want you to hate me or treat me like an o-outcast, m-my whole life I have always been told to k-keep my mouth shut and stay out of people's business. s-s-so I'm really sorry that I-" Before my ramblings could continue I felt a hand squeeze mine and suddenly I was at peace...

...As I looked at all their soft and understanding faces, I suddenly felt confused. Why weren't they mad at me for keeping a secret from them? Why hadn't they called me names or thrown things at me? Why weren't they telling me to do something for them? My head started to hurt from the amount of confusing thoughts swirling around it...

..."Why are you so confused?" Liam said...

..."B-but you should be mad, I kept a secret from you, why aren't you yelling at me or hurting me or... o-or" My head began to pound with confusion and my tongue began to get tied as I spoke. They were making no sense, they.. they should be angry... Why weren't they angry? ....

... I staggered back slightly as the pain began to become too much and before I knew it all I saw was black...

My eyes widened a fraction as my thoughts settled, I had passed out. I felt an embarrassed blush creep up my neck until the reality of why I passed out settled in and I suddenly felt nervous and worried. What was she going to do? What if they asked why she passed out? She couldn't tell them why she had become confused. They would think that she was being over dramatic or maybe they just wouldn't care. What if they turned into her old friends? What if they started to hurt her like Elena did.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by a door opening. My head snapped to the door as Scott followed by Derek came into the loft. I felt the need to hide or run or maybe just pretend to be asleep, however before I could try any of my options both Derek and Scott had shifted their attention to where I was sitting on the bed. It didn't even take a second before Scott came and kneeled in front of me, placing his hands on my knees.

"Hey Evie, are you feeling better?" Scott asked, seemingly worried for me. Just having people actually worried for me was different, so different that I didn't understand how to vocalise it, so I simply nodded, before the kidnapping I had been slowly getting better with people actually caring about me but after everything and then the fact that I had told them everything I seemed to have reverted back to before. I had never been so vulnerable with people before. Nobody ever knew about my supernatural side and I was scared of how they would be with me now that it had had time to settle into their mind.

"Eva you don't have to be nervous around us, we don't see you any differently than before." It had been Derek who spoke that time. I internally wondered how he had been able to tell what I was feeling, I had always been good at hiding my emotions so how was It so easy for him to tell my emotions... His werewolf, I internally smacked my forehead at my stupidity although now that I thought about it even though I knew that they were a different type of werewolf I had no real idea about what they could do. Making a mental note to ask later I decided to talk back now although I was still hesitant.

"Are you sure, what about the others?" I asked, being hyper aware of Scott's hands on my knees, I lifted my right hand from the bed to rub my left hand only for Scott to grab it and hold it, setting our conjoined hands softly back on my knees and giving my hand a reassuring squeeze.

"I talked to them and they don't hold anything against you, if anything they are concerned about you and the fact you passed out." Scott responded before Derek could and whilst I knew it was meant to ease my nerves I couldn't help the spike of panic that consumed me, my thoughts before they got here getting to me.

Scott seemed to be so worried about me and trying to calm me that he wasn't taking in my emotions. Derek however seemed to notice the spike of panic and changed the subject which I silently thanked him for.

"How long have you been a Phoenix for?" Derek asked and whilst it wasn't the subject change I was hoping for it was better than where the conversation with Scott was leading and so I decided to answer.

"A little over a year, why?" I couldn't help but question my curiosity, easily overcoming any nerves I was feeling.

"I don't know if you need it but I would like to help you with your control and discovering more about what you are, I know I'm a werewol-" Before Derek could finish I had unexpectedly ran and hugged him. I had surprised not only him and Scott but myself. I couldn't help the tears that had welled in my eyes. I felt a huge wave of gratitude that he was going to help me as well as relief of not being used. I felt as he carefully and tentatively wrapped his arms around me, more tears welled in my eyes, a few dripping down my cheeks as I felt the safety he was giving off, the safety I had never had.

Scott's PoV:

As she ran and hugged Derek I had expected to feel that primal protectiveness again, the jealousy, the need to have her near me again. I expected to growl like a feral dog or rip her from his arms and into mine but instead I couldn't help but smile softly at the scene, it was like after Derek's assurances the wolf part of me knew he meant no harm, knew he wasn't going to take my mate away and so I enjoyed the scene and couldn't help but soften even more as Derek wrapped his arms around her, I knew this was his first hug in years and as he looked down at her. The look in his eyes was something I had never seen in his eyes before, it was soft like she was the greatest thing to have happened to him and yet there was a fierce sheen to his eyes too, one that promised pain to anyone who ever tried to hurt her. The scene was so familial that it filled me with a sense of warmth. However I knew it would be a long time before they saw it the way I do...

(A/N: Hey Guysss!!! It's been a while hasn't it *Insert nervous chuckles* I have gotten a lot of encouraging comments and private messages and I thank you all for that. I've decided to continue this as well as start another book, it will be out after I've completed the first few chapters but I'm hoping that with another book it might help when writing this one. Also huge thanks to:

WonderWoman1941

She helped a lot with my determination to make another book as well as continue to write this one!!!)
