Book Chapter21 “Do you need me to drop you off anywhere or am I taking you to the pack house?” I asked Alex. “Pack house,” she answered. “Greg will give me a ride back to our place.” “You and Greg are roommates?” questioned. “You two didn’t get along very well last time I was here.” “Well we found a common enemy,” she said. I guess she and Grant are still on bad terms. It was silent again until we reached the pack house. Alex got out first, almost before I stopped. She paused before closing the door. “I know I haven’t said it but I’m really glad your back Katie. Tyler is too, he’s just hurt. He thought you were dead because it was easier to believe that than you being alive and just not contacting us. He missed you, we both did.” She turned to go. “If it’s any consolation, I missed you guys too.” I saw her smile in the side mirror. “Thanks Katie.” She disappeared into the pack house. “Katie?” Trina questioned with a teasing tone. “Really? Katie?” I snorted, “Yeah like Tree is any better.” “Hey I didn’t pick that nickname!” she protested. “And I didn’t pick Katie,” I said. “Katie was easier for three–year–olds to pronounce than Katrina.” “Makes sense,” Trina replied. “Unlike why we’re sitting in the truck instead of going in. You’re stalling.” “You noticed that huh?” I said softly. “Yeah, what’s going on Kate?” I grimaced. “It’s just… the last time I went inside that building the old Alpha of this pack was stripping me of any position, calling me unworthy, and turning my pack against me. I’m not too eager to go back in.” “You have to do it eventually,” she said. I sighed. “I know. I just… I want to go home already.” We got out and started for the door. I tried to ignore the memories that were demanding attention. This is going to be hard enough as it is. Everything looked the same and yet kind of smaller. No in actual size but in grandeur. When I was teenager who’d never left home this pack house was the biggest thing I’d ever seen. But know I had been to so many places and so many different pack houses this one wasn’t nearly as impressive, The one thing I didn’t think about as we drove here was all the people. I left because they’d turned their backs on my, treated me as a leper. I never really thought about how they would react to my return. I only considered my family’s reaction, Alex’s reaction. The rest, those who knew who I was… their eyes were full of angry, mistrust, and…
Book Chapter 20 Family Ties Silence. My mother stared at me in silence. I was beginning to consider calling for medical help Then finally she spoke. “Katrina Nina Grim,” she whispered. “My God is that really you?” Tears pooled in her eyes. “It’s actually Kate Greyson,” I said softly. “I changed it after–ugh!” The air was knocked out of me as my mother’s arms wrapped around me. “My baby girl!” she sobbed. “I, we thought we’d lost you. You’re home. You’re finally home!” I hugged her back awkwardly. I looked at Trina over my mother’s shoulder and she was playing on her phone. Very helpful Tree, appreciate it. My mother released me after a long moment. “Come in, come in.” She literally pulled me into the house with Trina and Alex trailed behind us. “Vera?” my father called. For a moment all of the memories flashed before my eyes. All of those days working on the truck together. “Who’s at the door?” Emotion swelled in my chest as I saw my father. “Hey Dad.” “Katrina,” he breathed and pulled me into his arms. I didn’t fight the tears that spilled down my face as I hugged him back. “I’ve missed you, Dad.” “Where?” he asked still not releasing me. “All of these years we looked for you but we never found anything. Where have you been?” “After I left the Alpha of Fire Light, Jason Greyson, took me in,” I answered. “He helped me kept Grant and Holden from finding out where I was. He kept me safe.” “Then I’d like to meet him,” my mother said, “to thank him.” “Who’s this?” my father asked when he finally stepped back. Trina of course was still playing some game on her phone. I snatched it from her hands. “Hey! I was about to beat my high score!” “This is my little sister Trina,” I said turning off the phone. “Excuse her lack of manners, we’re still teaching her.” She stuck her tongue out at me. “You’re a bully you know that? And as touching as your family reunion has been I heard someone pull up.” Just as she finished talking I heard a car door slam shut. Trina looked out the window. “Aw man, Kate it’s your creepy little brother.” Book1 Chapter20 19.21% Read Current Affairs – Read Educational Resources Brush Up on Your Writing Skills with Educational Tips and Proven Exercises, black–gay–writers- and-readers.com OPEN > “That’s my son,” Mom said defensively. I gave her a tight smile. “At least she didn’t call him psycho again.” I turned back to Trina. “He probably came to tell them I was here.” “Can I leave?” she asked. “He gives me the creeps.”…
Booki Chapter19 I caught Jason’s smiled. I do love my dramatics. Grant looked like he’d seen a ghost. “Katrina?” he whispered in shock. “Katrina is that you?” I narrowed my eyes. “No. My name is Kate Greyson. Not Katrina. And you may address me as Beta Greyson, nothing else.” “Greyson?” he repeated. He glanced at Jason. “You have his last name.” “Alpha Greyson is my older brother,” I replied donning a professional tone. “Katrina,” Grant said stepping towards me. Then suddenly Tristan was there at my side growling. “You do not touch Kate until you have her expressed consent.” Grant growled and my hand flinched towards my gun. “Back off Grant,” I said. “You do not stand a chance against Tristan even if you are an Alpha now.” Confusion flickered onto his face. “What happened to you? Where have you been?” He reached out towards me and I swiftly grabbed my bow and used it to slap his hand away. “Don’t touch me. And as for where I’ve been or what I’ve been doing, that is none of your business. I’m here as Beta of the Fire Light pack. Nothing more.” I nodded to Jason. “Alpha Adams, we must discuss matters.” “Of course,” Grant said. He shot one last longing look at me before he, Lily, and Jason went inside. Colin followed and Lisa disappeared. She likes to do recon every time we go somewhere new. Despite my words to Grant I did want to talk to my brother. I looked at him with my own eyes. “Tyler.” Then I saw his angry and I took a step back, away from it. “I am Beta Grim.” “You’re also my brother,” I said gently. His face turned hard. “No. I had an older sister. But she died years ago after she abandoned us.” I flinched and Tristan wrapped his arm around me. “Watch it kid,” he growled….
