As if this couldn’t get any worse. My sister is upstairs with a creepy shrine to one of my
mates, and here I am, running into the one person I have wanted to avoid the most. I truly
don’t have the energy to deal with my father right now, but I guess, at this point, I have no
other choice.
I stand still and take a few deep breaths. “I said: what the hell are you doing in my
house?” I gulp, but no words are forming in my mind, let alone coming out of my mouth. I
can feel my heartbeat increase, and I have to say that I’m pretty scared. I don’t know what
is going to happen with my dad.
“I came t…..to ch……check on A….aida.” Goddess, I sound so pathetic, but I can’t help it.
My father has always made me nervous, and there are times that I’ve been terrified, and
this is one of those times.
“Check on Aida? Why would you care enough to check on Aida? You are the reason why
she is as withdrawn as she is. You took away her future, and now you want to check on
her.” My dad shakes his head in disgust, and I can feel myself shrinking away from my
dad. In a way, he’s right; if I hadn’t been fated to the twins, my sisters would be in a
better place.
“Either way, I’m meant to be the Luna and Lunas look out for their pack members and
make sure things are okay. I’m just doing my duty.” I sigh softly and try to walk toward the
door. If I can get out of the house without this blowing up, I will be extremely grateful. Dad
must be paying close attention because he stops me before I get too close to the exit.
My back hits the wall beside me, and my dad has his hand around my neck, applying
pressure that is causing my breathing to be shaky at best. “I could end you right now. I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcould make you cease to exist, and then my daughters would get everything they
deserve.” My dad leans in closer so that our noses are almost touching. “Give me one
good reason to keep you living.”
My hands are clawing at my dad’s, and for a brief moment, I contemplate shifting. The
issue is that I know shift won’t do anything but cause more issues, and it won’t guarantee
that I would get my neck broken in wolf form. When it comes down to it, my father is
stronger than I am. He has been training all his life in wolf and human form. I really don’t
have much of a chance to win against him. “Now, daddy, you really don’t want to do that.”
My eyes dart to the side, and I see Aida standing on the bottom step of the stairs. She
looks pretty calm and not like the type of person who would have the shrine I found not
long ago.
I’m quickly let go and hit the ground with a thump. Dad starts to walk toward Aida. “My
baby! How are you feeling?” He reaches out and grabs Aida’s hand, pulling her to him. He
wraps his arms around her while her arms find their way around his waist.
“I’m okay daddy. I’ll be better when she leaves the house.” I watch the scene while
gasping for breath and trying to run the pain out of my neck. I slowly get to my feet, not
knowing if I should speak or just leave.
“You heard my daughter….get the hell out.” I waste no time running out of the house and
heading to the packhouse. I don’t know how close I was to losing my life today, but I don’t
want to be that close again.

I’ve been trying to keep busy while Tia was gone. It’s been hard trying to focus on all of
this paperwork. I know I have warriors following her, but it’s not the same as being able to
watch her myself. Lincoln got lucky and won our rock, paper, scissors; he got to do a patrol
to keep his mind off of things.
“Son, I think you may want to head outside.” I look up, and my dad is watching me. I
wonder why I would need to go outside. A small smile forms on his face, and I know
exactly where I need to be. Tia is making her way back, and I need to make sure she is
okay.
I run down the stairs and out the front door. I stop on the porch and look out. I can see Tia
walking toward me at a slow pace. I want nothing more than to run to her and scoop her
up in my arms, but I don’t want to seem too eager. I impatiently wait on the porch, wishing
I had to power to speed up time.
The closer Tia gets, I can see her features. She looks a bit upset and scared. She is
rubbing her neck, making me wonder if everything is okay. I step off of the porch steps as
Tia walks closer. I hold my arms open, and Tia walks right into them, wrapping her arms
around my waist. I lean my head down on hers, and I can hear her sobbing. “What is it
love? What happened over there? How is your sister?” Tia continues to sob, and I rub her
back gently. Her sobs start to diminish, and I rub my hands down her arms, pushing her
back at her elbows.
Looking at Tia, I can feel the anger surge through me. There are finger marks on the sides
of her neck. Who dared to touch my mate?! I feel a growl in my chest. “Who touched
you?!” Tia looks at me with watery eyes, but she doesn’t open her mouth to speak. I place
my hand on her face and run my thumb over her cheek. “Tell me who hurt you,” I say in a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcalmer voice.
Tia clears her throat and places her forehead on my chest. “It doesn’t matter. I don’t want
to talk about it.” I sigh and wrap my arms around her again.
“It does matter, but I will let it go…….for now.” Tia looks back at me and reaches up on her
toes to touch her lips to mine. The sparks take over my mind, and I forget about her neck
and who I may need to punish. Tia moves her head to the side and deepens the kiss while
her tongue seeks entry. I grant it, and Tia wastes no time in painting the inside of my
mouth with her tongue. I can feel the fire build inside me, and my hardness increases.
I hear a car in the distance. It stops, and a door opens and closes. I hear a door open
behind me, but Tia’s kiss is taking my focus. “What I’ve seen so far, this place is
gorgeous,” a voice says in front of me. The voice sounds a bit familiar, but I can’t place it.
“I’m so glad you made it. I can’t wait to show you the rest of the pack.” That voice
definitely belongs to my mom. I remove my tongue from Tia’s mouth and kiss her lips a
few more times before lifting my head and looking in front of me. My blood runs cold at
the sight.
“Landon, are you okay? What’s wrong?” Tia’s voice is almost drowned out by the ringing in
my ears. Never did I think this would happen, but here we are. My mouth has gone dry,
and I can’t answer Tia. She turns and looks behind her. Tia steps away from me and
extends her hand. “Hi. Welcome to the Emerald Lake Pack. I’m Tia Colby and you are?”
My mom has made her way from the front door to stand next to me. “Why that is my
visitor. She is Jenna Brenner from the Moonlight Pack.” Mom turns to me with a smile on
her face. “Landon, honey, say hello to Jenna.”
