Under A Paper Moon

"What the fuck was that about?" Jensen was the first to say something, "Who would want to hurt Jeremiah and Elias?"

Micah looked at Elias, the two of them knew who it was. It had to be the organisation. There was no way this was a coincidence, and it couldn't have been anyone else.

"It's up to you," Micah said, "It's your secret to tell."

"I trust them." Elias stated.

"So do I." Micah nodded as he looked at Raphael and then Jensen, both of them seemed equally confused at what the two mates were talking about.

"Tell us what?" Raphael asked.

"I don't even know where to begin.." Elias started.

~~~

"You've got to be kidding me." Jensen said, looking shocked when Elias was done telling them everything. From his biological mother to white wolves to the organization.

"No," Elias shook his head, "All of it is the truth."

"Prove it, show me." Jensen said, looking eager.

"You don't have to, we trust your word," Raphael said as he glared at Jensen who just rolled his eyes.

"No, it's okay. I wouldn't believe me too." Elias chuckled. He looked around the room, wondering how he could show his abilities. He settled at controlling a couple of empty water bottles that were littering the room.

He focused at them, just how Daisy had taught him. Raphael and Jensen stared in both shock and awe as the bottles started floating in the air before they flew and dropped inside the dustbin at the other end of the room.

"Holy shit. You really are a white wolf!" Jensen exclaimed, "I thought.. I thought they didn't even exist!"

"We all thought that. Turns out the tales are wrong." Micah said.

"But they're wrong to protect you guys, right?" Raphael confirmed and Elias nodded.

"Fuck, if the organisation knows Elias is a white wolf then they'll be coming for him." Jensen pointed out.

"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it," Elias said, "For now, we need to go get Jeremiah."

"Not we. I'm going alone." Micah said.

"No, you're not. I'm going with you. Don't even try to argue with me, Micah." Elias folded his arms in front of his chest.

"But-"

"No buts. There's no way in hell I'm letting you go alone." Elias reiterated.

"Mates are stronger when they're together." Raphael stated.

"I'm coming too." Jensen said.

"No!" Both Micah and Elias said simultaneously.

"Elias and I will go and get Jeremiah. You two head to my dad and tell him what's going on. Don't tell him.. don't tell him about everything white wolf related, though."

"What's left to tell him then?" Raphael asked.

"Just what happened with Jeremiah. Say.. say that you don't know who attacked them. Play ignorant. But let them know some of what's going on since we're gonna be bringing Jer back home." Micah answered thoughtfully.
