I had an a/n here but I erased it, you're welcome. again

"Why didn't you tell me?" Bella suddenly broke the silence
"It's not exactly the easiest thing to talk about"
"I'm your fucking sister Leo, you hid this from me for how long now?"
"I didn't shift until vampires showed up in India. And this isn't exactly me telling you some childhood crush or something. This is me coming to you blatantly saying I'm a monster."
"Vampires?"
"Yeah Bella, vampires are real too, hate to tell ya."
"I know, Edward was one." The fight seemed to leave Bella. "You know you're not a monster, right."
"That explains the vampire smell on the last couple cards you've been sending." Leo rolled her eyes, "And yeah, I am a monster. Who the fuck turns into a giant lion when they get slightly inconvenienced?"
"I mean the boys somehow turned into wolves."
"That's the thing, that's pretty much normal." Seeing the look on her sisters face, Leo continued. "While yes, the concept of turning into a giant wolf is scary and isn't something most people can do, werewolves are a common tale and appear in many cultures. And yes, most of them are real. Lions however, are more rare. Especially when it comes to females. The body can respond to threats many ways, and one of them is adaptation. Some gene or something I was out through as a child came out as an adult, and I turned into what I am."
Bella just stared at her sister, "How similar is it to the wolves?"
"I don't experience every characteristic or change that they do, but my body behaves similarly, I don't get cold, I eat more, muscle gets packed on easier, etc. But while they have teachings and plenty of friends and family, I'm completely alone."

Bella took her sister's hand in her own and gently squeezed it.
