Solana's brown eyes were as hard as the bark of the trees that surrounded the institute.

Zayn's brow eyes stared sharply. He observed her expression. Zayn had been very stressed over the past few days; he didn't need another reason to yell, and another person to hate.

"Is this a joke?" Solana asked, not daring to blink.

"You think I would bring a human to the institute as a joke?" Zayn scowled.

Solana's gaze circled his face. "You have a human-" she turned abruptly and stormed towards Zayn's bedroom.

"Mother" Zayn hissed through gritted teeth. "Can't this wait till morning?" Zayn hurried after her. Liam was already overwhelmed. He didn't need a female version of grumpy Zayn in his face.

Zayn couldn't reach her before his mum stormed into his bedroom.

Liam was still standing by the window with his coat folded over his arms and tucked tightly against his chest. He jumped when Solana stormed in, frantically glancing around. Her eyes fell on Liam straight away because of his bright colours.

Zayn was glad the wolves didn't train tonight. He didn't want to deal with a fainting Liam and a seething parent.

Solana froze in the doorway, staring at Liam like he had appeared before her very eyes. She pointed, and Liam nervously glanced to Zayn who drifted behind his mother like a dark cloud.

"That's a boy!" Solana exclaimed. (A/N: *pretends to be shocked* OMG WHAATTT??? NOOO WAAAYY!!!! I AM WRITING A GAY FIC!! OH I HAVE COMMITED A SIN)

Zayn glared at the back of her head.

"And human!" (A/N: tell me you are dum without telling me you are dumb) Solana stepped closer to Liam, gazing at him with interest. She then spun and pointed a thin finger at Zayn, pressing a long nail into his chest. "Is this some sort of distraction, so I'll lay off Baela?"

Zayn rolled his eyes. He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her from the room. Zayn slammed the door and dragged her down the corridor, so Liam couldn't hear them. "For the hundredth time, Baela is not my mate!"

"Then why did you let me believe that she was?"

"I didn't."

"Then what was with the secrecy?"

"Baela was watching my back as I went to
Ethdellin Town to be with my mate."

Solana's lips curled disapprovingly. She stared at Zayn as though she was trying to read his mind or deciding if he was telling the truth. "How long has this been going on?"

"A few weeks" Zayn mumbled.

Solana shook her head. "I assume you had the dream then?" Her tone was a little bitter. Zayn nodded, a little sheepish, knowing he should have told her from day one.

"How could you keep that a secret from me? I'm your mother!"

Zayn tightened his jaw. "In my defence, you're fucking annoying"

Solana's glare matched her son. "So, you're telling me that you have a human soulmate and hid it from me for weeks? Right, well, I get the message. I'm officially shunned out of your life. Thank you very much."

Solana tried entering her bedroom but Zayn
grabbed her arm, almost ripping her dressing
gown.

"See, this is why I didn't tell you because you're so dramatic! I just needed time to figure it out on my own. Baela followed me even when I didn't ask her to. Nobody was supposed to know until Lee was used to me."
