View MoreOnce we finished putting away the groceries, Orion took Kael to train with Jaxon. He had missed an entire day of training with both of them, and I thought spending time with them would be good for him.“You go ahead. I’ll be okay here,” I said.“Not by yourself,” Orion said. “Come with us and watch the men work.”Kael immediately became tense. I remembered being a teenager and knowing how it felt when your parents—or in my case, grandparent—stayed around while you were trying to do something. He would probably feel more comfortable if I was not there.“I’ll go to Stormy’s,” I said. “I haven’t seen her for a couple of days. That way I won’t be by myself. What do you think?”Orion looked unsure but finally agreed. He still insisted on driving behind me to Stormy’s house and waiting with Kael by the curb until I was safely inside. Stormy was already standing at the door and waving me inside as Orion drove away.“Looks like you’ve got yourself a nice bodyguard,” she said while locking the
The bold and aggressive way Varek kept pushing us did not make sense at all. Money was important, yes, but I had already said I would pay him. So why was he still threatening us? He was acting as if we had missed a payment date or told him to fuck off. This all felt personal somehow. Money, out of everything in the world, was one of the least personal things I could think of. And right in the middle of everything was Vale.I met Jaxon at the barbershop, while my head was still full of questions. The barber, an old man named Claude Shipley, was a human who had always had a good relationship with the pack. The man had already been old when I was a kid, but his small barbershop was a well-known place in Pinecrest Valley.“Afternoon, Claude,” I said as I walked inside.He was just putting the cape around Jaxon’s shoulders when I entered.“Good afternoon, Orion. How are you?” the small man asked.“Better than I deserve.” I looked at him and around the shop.The three of us were completely
I looked at my father’s old laptop sitting on the other side of the desk. It was locked, but the password was written on a piece of paper taped inside the top drawer of the desk. After paying all the bills, I pulled the laptop closer and turned it on. Once I entered the password, I looked through the different files, searching for more proof of my dad’s bad habits. Maybe he had placed a million-dollar bet on the Super Bowl or something.While searching, I sent Selene a message.Orion: Random question. Was the pack having money problems when you moved away? Or was everything still okay?Selene had stayed longer than I did. If things had been getting worse for more than ten years, then that could explain where the missing money went. Slowly losing money through betting over fifteen or sixteen years could possibly do that.Selene: Nope. Everything was still good when I left. I didn’t know about any problems.Another dead end.Orion: Thanks anyway.I continued looking through more files,
As I drove up the long driveway to the alpha house and saw what was waiting for me, I let out a groan.“Well, shit,” I whispered.Around twelve cars were parked near the house and across the grass in my yard.People stood around in front of the closed garage door, waiting for me to get there. Every one of them was a pack member. Some I knew immediately, while others I only knew from seeing them around or from when I was younger. There were business owners and pack members who needed financial help. There was only one reason they could all be here.Before I even stepped out of the truck, they started throwing questions at me.“Is the pack not paying for electricity anymore?”“I got a shut-off notice yesterday, Orion.”“I can’t afford to pay these utility bills. It’s not part of my budget. The pack accounts always took care of this.”“Are we all getting abandoned?”I lifted my hands to calm everyone down.“Can everyone please wait for a second?”Since the Blackthorne family had owned th
My alarm went off early the next morning, pulling me out of a deep sleep. The early wake-up was necessary because I was far behind on work and needed to submit an article before my ten o’clock deadline.The sun had not even risen yet when I climbed out of bed and slowly walked down the hallway to m
Jaxon and I exchanged a glance, and I decided there was no reason to hide anything anymore.“My father made mistakes that were far worse than drinking,” I said, and both Elara and Kael looked at me with complete attention. “After Selene and I left, things got bad for him very quickly. He became add
“You can tell me to fuck off right now, and I’ll still protect him,” I said. “No matter what happens. I’ll remain in his life or stay away, whatever you decide, but I’ll do everything I can to keep him safe from harm.”What I didn’t say was that because she had never been officially claimed, she wa
The only sound inside the truck was the steady noise of the tires rolling along the road.A huge weight had finally been lifted from my chest, but it was quickly replaced by a suffocating feeling of dread.Elara pulled her hand away from mine, and my stomach immediately dropped.“You fucking asshol
