gripping her,
as she knew Thorne demanded an explanation for what he'd just seen at the occipital
area of her skull.
    Donovan and Natalie rushed over to the couple in an effort to console Melanie while
explaining to Thorne.
    “Donovan, now do you think it's time to explain to the man?” Natalie asked, raising
her brow. “He needs to know if he's going to be her mate.”
    “Explain what exactly?” Thorne asked. “Melanie has a thick scaly patch in her scalp.
I felt it earlier this afternoon, but she said it was a bump she had scratched.
It looks like…like, like snake's skin.” Thorne said, wrinkling his eyebrows.
    “Son, sit down.” Donovan said as soft as he could despite his deep voice.
    “Melanie, why are you dishonest with me?” Thorne demanded.
    “Thorne honey, I'm sorry, but you just don… Oh my God, Mom!” Melanie whimpered,
suddenly feeling weak at the knees at the look of disgust carved on Thorne's handsome
features. The look in his eyes made Melanie consider crawling underneath a rock,
remaining there for the rest of her existence.
    “What is it Melanie?” Thorne demanded. “Someone tell me something!”
    “Lower you voice in my house son,” Donovan said, raising a brow.
    Sitting down, Thorne placed his head in his hands, bracing himself at the explanation
to come. Natalie sat down beside him, putting a hand on the confused man's shoulder.
    “Is something wrong with Melanie?” Thorne asked. He supported his chin against his
knuckles, feeling his elbows digging deep into his quadricep muscles. He fought
hard to regain control over his breathing as Melanie sat across from him, tissue
in hand, her eyes red from crying.
    “Melanie and I are from a different clan of werewolves.” Natalie said, biting her
lip as she glanced over at her daughter. “You see Thorne, I have a patch as well.”
The woman turned her back to Thorne, lifting her sandy brown colored hair revealing
the same scaly patch similar to that of her daughter, but larger. Looking closely,
the patch was in the shape of a wolf's head, appearing to take on a life of it's
own.
    “What the…Melanie..” Thorne shook his head. He knew she possessed a mark. It was
supposed to have been in the form of a birthmark. But there was more. Thorne swallowed
hard as Natalie turned, facing him.
    “You see Thorne, this isn't our original home. Our home was destroyed centuries
ago by war and greed. Our home was a planet called Edolonia…

    Thorne started shaking his head, looking at Melanie, Donovan, and then Natalie.
Fighting to maintain his composure, Thorne bit his lip and proceeded to ask questions.
    Among the stars?” he asked.
    “Come on Nat, cut to the chase.” Donovan said. Young Wolf is becoming as nervous
as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs! You're making the boy sweat, for God's
sake!
    “Our planet was called Edolonia Thorne.” Natalie said as calmly as she could, fearing
the man would lose his mind on the spot. “We are an ancient race of advanced shape-shifters.
My ancestors first visited this planet around the time when Native Americans freely
roamed North America before Custer, even centuries before Conquistadors,” Natalie
continued. We have existed for thousands of years until greed and war destroyed
our planet. Quite similar to the way things are going here on Earth. Man is uncaring,
wreaking havoc on Earth's resources, building senselessly, and killing animals,
throwing Earth's balance off. I witnessed the same pattern on Edolonia. Earth is
safe…for now.
    “Safe, for now?” Thorne asked.
    “Yes, for centuries, tribes foretold of the Earth changes Thorne. Look around you,
global warming has affected the planet. Polar ice caps are melting, and the levels
of the oceans are changing, destroying our barrier reefs. Certain wildlife is decreasing.
