Anastasia stood wearily by the conveyor belt waiting for her luggage to appear. As she was grabbing her last bag she heard a high pitched scream behind her.
There is only one person who screams like a banshee, Aunt Natalia.
Ana turned around and spotted her aunt looking at her.
"Anastasia, is that you?" Nat screamed running towards Ana. She braced herself for the hug her aunt was bound to give her.
"Hey Aunt Nat, how are you? " Ana asked uninterested.
"Oh, no you don't. I want a better happy hello." Ana laughed heartedly.
"I'm sorry. Hi Aunt Natalia, you look good!"
"There we go. Now come on your sister got here an hour before you and she is circling around the terminal." Natalia called Adina to let her know where they were. When Addie pulled up they quickly put Ana's bags on top of Addie's and climbed into the truck.
"What took so long?"
"My plane was late; why the fuck do you care? It's not like you had shit else to do."
"Shut up Ana, shit! Why do you have to do that every time? I asked a question, why the fuck do you have to reply so nasty for?"
"That is enough! Watch your language! I swear you are not too old to be put over my knee!"
The girls laughed at that. "We're sorry Nat." They said in unison. As they headed to the house, Nat started to get nervous.
"What's wrong Nat?"
"Nothing, just happy you girls are home for break."
"I don't believe you, what's wrong?" Addie said risking a glance at her while driving.
"Okay fine. I'll tell you when we get to the house. Trust me you aren't going to believe this at all."
The car remained in silence after what Nat said. Each woman encased in the thoughts running through their head. A half an hour they were back at their childhood home. They carried their bags up to their old rooms. After they settled in, both girls drifted towards the family room. As they walked in they noticed a jeweled chest sitting on the coffee table.
"Sit down girls; it's going to be a bumpy ride. What should I start with?"
"I was going to say the beginning but that isn't always best so start with whatever is easier to say." Addie said folding her legs under her body as she got comfortable on the couch.
"Ok well, let me ask something first. Has anything, anything at all, happened out of the ordinary to the two of you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Like something not humanly possible, weird dreams, or like sixth senses?"
"Well, I had a weird dream. I had a dream of some guy who said he was the Master Beta something or other. He also called me his mate. What does that mean?"
"Hold on Ana. Addie, has anything strange happen to you?"
"Umm... I can't really explain it but I stopped myself from falling, without touching anything. Then I thought up and my body started rising up."
"Ok well, that seems normal. You are not human; you are known to some people as Were. Most humans don't know that Weres exist. There are different kinds of Were, there are werewolves, were-panthers, were-tigers, were-snow leopards, were- bears, were-cats, and many unknowns. There are other beings besides Weres also, like Vampires, Druids, and Fae, good and bad. What you girls are is the most important thing though. You are white tigers the rarest and deadliest were known. They are the most strongest and most powerful of Weres. Your ancestry leads all the way back to Luna herself. You also harbor abilities that basically what Addie said, you can't explain it. I am Were and I have abilities also, but I am not a white tiger. I am part Ancient. I don't need to explain it because truthfully I don't understand it. Are there any questions so far?"
"I don't believe you Nat. I can't just listen to you tell me something like this and expect me to just except it." Addie whispered.
"You expect me to believe that we are part of some freaky tiger family with magical powers? Have you been taking any medication lately Aunt Nat?"
Natalia looked at Ana and exhaled.
Fine, don't believe me I'll show you.
Natalia stripped naked and stood before the girls.
"What are you doing?!" Addie exclaimed.
"Oh my god it burns!" Ana screamed covering her eyes.
