Chase drove me home, even though he had told me I only healed quickly because of my grace neither of us got why my side was already healed, it felt numb. I felt numb, all of me, like I had no emotions left, maybe chase was right, maybe I was in shock.

I climbed out of chases car and saw crimson and zeek leaning on the porch "where have you been?"Crimson yelled, peppy as per usual

"Out"I replied emotionless

"Me and crimson were thinking about us all going out?"Zeek mentioned

"Oh yeah, being the 3rd wheel is my dream"I replied walking past them

"You don't need to be rude"chase whispered into my ear

"Sorry guys I'm really not feeling to good"I said placing my hand on abdomen

"Cramps"crimson asked

I nodded.

Chases helped me into my room and placed me onto my bed, there was only a week left of the half term, that was more than enough time to recover.

Once chase left I fell asleep curled up in a ball, I was startled when I heard a knock on my bedroom door "come in?"I mumbled through my pillow, I expected drake to walk in but I was alec "alec?"

"Hey"he smiled briefly

"What are you doing here?"I asked

"I had to apologise, I know its abit late but I handled things badly and then ignored you, it was uncalled for and I know you and jared are happy and I'm not here to ruin things-"

"Apology accepted" I smiled "and how would you ruin things?"I asked before I could stop my self

"I know you're his mate and I'm not going to get in the way of that and plus we welcomed that mongrel into out pack"he chuckled

"Nice. Insulting my boyfriend, classy. I'm glad we're cool alec" I said standing up and pulling him into a hug, he felt warm like jared and it made me feel abit better "can tell you something"I whispered slightly crying

"Anything?"He pulled away from the hug still holding onto my hips "are you crying?"

I nodded and pulled up my shirt on the right, there lay a deep red scar, where the surgeon had cut into me "I was attacked"I cried "I'm human"

"What?! How?"He asked shocked

Tears started pouring out my eyes and down my cheek "this monster stole my grace, so now I'm human. No longer an angel"I cried

"You smell the same, I mean you're still the same person and you've got what all of us want, too be normal."He replied trying to comfort me

"I don't want to be normal."

"You're only normal as in your not a supernatural being, but other than that you're not normal. You're weird, you fell in love with a werewolf"he laughed before hugging me tight

"You can't tell jared"I mumbled "I mean he never knew I was.. He thought I was human so don't mention anything"

"Of course, I promise you."He replied "he won't notice, like I said you smell the same" he hugged tight.

Over the next week alec stayed with me and we got closer than ever, he even said he'd pick up jared from the air port with me. Alec made the pain of losing part of me easier, he also numbed the pain of missing jared, with my grace gone all I really had left was jared and with him gone it made me feel sick, alec said that was because of 'mate' bond and that the feeling wasn't one sided.

Alec came round on the friday, I was curled up in bed hugging my knees close to my chest, I had been having nightmares constantly, they were always about the surgeon, in the nightmares he didn't just cut out my grace he also began torturing me. Alec put his hand of my back to comfort me "we need to get out, you need to leave your room"he sighed

          

"I'm not ready, there's too many THINGS out there"I shook my head

"I'm here, I'm not going to let them hurt you"he rubbed my back

"I- I can't"

"You're human they can't smell anything"he stated

"I'm starting to smell different?"I asked

"A little, you can tell you're human"

"Will jared notice?"My eyes widen

"Doubt it"he shrugged

He pulled me over his shoulders and sat my onto of the toilet, he leant over the bath and started the hot water, he poured in some bubble bath and laid out some towels "alec? What is it that you are doing?"I asked curiously

"Running you a bath" he replied "because you need it"

"Thanks for telling me I smell"I folded my arms

"I don't mean like that"he rubbed his forehead "you need time to relax and calm your tiny little self"

I frowned.

Once the bath was filled to the top with hot water and bubbles alec started lighting candles and lighted this stick that smelled like orchids "get in" he demanded

"Your in here"I folded my arms

"Fine"I through his arms in the air and turned around "I won't peek"he stated

I started undressing and got in the bath and made sure all the private areas on my body were hid by the bubbles "you done?"He asked

"Yup"

He turned around and walked over to the toilet and sat on it. I hugged my knees so the only visible part of skin was my back, the door bell went so alec went to answer it.

I slid down the bath and under the water, when I heard some walk into the bathroom I shot up and saw drakes friend leo about to use the toilet "get out!!"I screamed covering up my body

"Oh my god, sorry"leo said closing his eyes and hiding his face with hands as he went to walk out the door he bumped into the wall and then stumbled onto the hallway.

After a while I climbed out of the bath and wrapped a towel tightly around my hour glass figure and strolled into my room my wet hair dripping down my back, I quickly dried off and pulled on some grey sweats and white vest top and quickly rubbed my hair in between the towel drying it off.

I flopped on the bed hid my face in the pillows

"What's wrong with her?"I heard dylan say

"She's depressed"alec replied

"Want to come out?"Derek asked

"No"I crumbled

"It will be fun??"

"I said no"I replied in huff

"Urgh you such a stubborn child"dylan stated

I stood up and walked out the door

"Where you going"alec yelled after me

I grabbed drake's car keys and jumped in his car and drove out of the drive way and down the street towards jareds house, I could stay there for a bit. When I got there I pulled up into their drive way and pulled the spare key out of the plant pot and walked towards the kitchen as I pasted the study I saw my bag still lying on the floor, I opened my bag and saw jareds top folded up and pulled off my vest and before I could pull jareds top on

"Um excuse me?"

I spun around just in my sweats and bra

"Are you an early birthday present"she asked with a cheeky smile

"Um oh my god" I quickly shoved jareds top over me

"Can I ask who you are?"She ask politely

"I'm chris-"

She interrupted me "oh your jareds girlfriend right? I'm julie"she smiled

"Who'd you know I'm jareds girlfriend"

"I'm his cousin, I'm house sitting till they get back"she answered "he said you were pretty but wow"

"Wow?"I asked

"Yeah, you're way hotter than I ever imagined"she giggled

Julie walked out the room, I followed her into the kitchen, she was flawless, so gracefully on her feet, if that had been me I would have tripped. She stood in front of the window, her hair shun red in the light and her olive skin turned golden, she was beautiful. I could tell she was related to jared.

"Julie!!"Alex ran past me picking her up into hug

Derek came and stood behind me "when did yous get here?"I asked

Derek leaned his head on my shoulder "we followed you"I could feel him smile

"Are they together?"I asked

"He wishes"julie said punching him lightly

"Yeah sure"alec rolled his eyes, dylan eventually strolled in "you always have to be fashionable late"julie laughed

"Well one of us has to be"dylan joked

"I'm confused, how come everyone knows you but I don't?"I asked

"She's the newest member of our pack, well her and her smoking hot sister"alec answered

"Stay away from my sister"julie scowled at him

"Now who wants who?"He raised an eyebrow

"Ew"derek replied "get a room"he made a face

"She fits in doesn't she"julie smiled

"What does that mean?"I asked

"She means your skin tone"derek laughed in my ear

"Oh"

"And you smell like a dog"alec grinned at me

"Be nice"julie said punching him
