True Identity

Tessa moaned softly, rolling to her side on the bed as she slowly willed her eyes open. She felt a familiar presence in her sleep. A warmth feeling that was pulling her emotionally. If she could describe it, she'll describe it as the feeling you get from mate bond whenever you're around your mate.

Her eyes opened and immediately fell on Kieran's body. He was standing beside the bed. She immediately realized where the feeling was coming from. She couldn't help but smile inwardly. She loved these new feeling she got whenever he was close to her. "You're awake" His voiced stated calmly.

"Hey" Tessa called softly, sitting up on the bed and rubbing her eyes. She had fallen asleep after Silas left. "I must have been too tired. How long have I been out?"

"Half an hour" Kieran replied.

"Oh...okay"

"Come! It's time to meet the others" He turned to leave but stopped on his tracks when Tessa reached swiftly and held his hand.

"Hey..." She called rather shyly and nervously, tightening her grip around his hand. "Can we talk more after all these?" She looked up at him with pleading eyes.

"Sure" He replied, taking her hand in his and helping her up to her feet.

Tessa became silent, following behind him closely as they made their way out the room and toward where the others were waiting. She felt nervous. Seeing them now was different from their previous meetings. With all she knew now, she felt she was about to see a more private and secret side of them.

They arrived at the sitting room where all of them were seated. First thing Tessa noticed was none of them had their masks on and not in their robe either. They were all dressed the same Kieran and Silas. A all black rashguard body hugging long sleeves and fitted pants, which confirmed for her it was their uniform under the robe.

Seated around the living room on the couch with some on the arm of the couch. Tessa was more nervous because of the plain, emotionless look on their faces, except for one who was smiling at her. He had a blonde hair, not as ripped as the other men but okay. He looked younger also.

Seeing the confused look Tessa was giving the smiling Conan, Kieran decided to start the introduction from him. "That's Conan" He started. "That is Zamir" He pointed at the one seated next to Conan.

Tessa began make short, nervous waves at them as he started introducing them. Zamir had a very lowcut, brown hair. Coupled with his staunch face, he looked mean. "That's Freya...she doesn't talk much, so don't expect much talking from her" He pointed at Freya who was laying facing the roof on the longest couch.

Seeing the only girl in their midst, Tessa felt a little relieved at first until she heard Kieran's statement about her not speaking much. She felt disappointed. A female was easier to relate to for her. Though she wasn't ready to let Freya be, she was going to try. Something that stood out to her with Freya was how pretty she was. Though she was a girl herself, she had to admit Freya was the prettiest girl she had seen. Her long dark silky hair with her baby blue eyes was the highlight of her features.

"You've already met Silas...and the last, Adan" Kieran concluded.

Finally seeing the face of the man that posed the most philosophical question she had had to answer. Seeing him without the mask, she realized he looked sadder than she had thought initially. His eyes housed tiredness, anger and a broken expression. His short dark hair swayed softly on his perfectly proportioned face. Though he seemed scary with the mask on, his face couldn't be more opposite. He had the softest look.

"Well that's everyone" Kieran folded his arms, staring at Tessa and waiting for her to say something.

"Hey....." She paused. Her head felt empty, she didn't know what to say...more like don't have anything to say. She had a lot of questions but at the same time she didn't what to say. "I....I...I don't know what to say. I didn't expect this at all"

"You don't have to say anything. You're reunited with your clan before the war. That's all that matters" Adan stated.

"So you're the girl huh!" Conan jumped down from the arm of the couch excitedly, and made his way to her swiftly. He stopped right in front of her and began examining her with a broad smile. "Finally seeing fully for the first time...Silas and Kreed treats you like a rare gem, hiding you from the rest of us" He blurted out.

"Get back here you idiot" Zamir cursed, shaking his head.

"Oh you're curious about her too, you just acting uninterested" He teased Zamir and began waking back to his seat. "Well finally we can start the war. We've wasted enough time he added"

"Wait what?" Tessa shifted her confused and curious gaze from Conan to Kieran

"Yeah we've mostly been holding back because of you" Kieran replied

"We've had to delay the plans because of you and now that you're here, we have no reason to delay any longer. It's taken too long already. The more time we waste, the more time they have to prepare against us" Adan explained

"But....but you can't just march over there and kill everyone, even the innocent ones that had nothing to do with killing your clan. That wouldn't be justifiable, that's just plain murder" She argued.

"We aren't here with our mission with the idea of having a justifiable outcome. Nothing that has happened and that has lead us to this very point is justifiable. So I see no reason why the end should be. There's one ending and one ending only. The werewolf world will be no more. And that end is inevitable" Adan replied

"But..."

"Oh forget it new girl! You ain't winning against Adan on this. He's the last person you want to debate with" Conan cut in and then lay down on the empty couch.

"I mean....what...but you five don't expect to attack the whole packs, wolves and Alphas and expect to come out alive, let alone achieve your goal. I know you're strong and all but not even you five can take everyone" She tried to explain desperately.

"Oh but it wouldn't just be us five. We've all been planning this retribution from the moment we survived their slaughter. We know they have an army. So it's only fair and honorable that we create one of ours" Silas explained.

Tessa slowly looked over at Kieran with a puzzled and curious look. "You have an army?"

"Of course we do. Like Adan said, we have nothing holding us back anymore. So everyone...." He paused, staring at the others who began sitting up, giving their attention to him, including Freya who hadn't said a thing. "Get ready, the war just began"
