Chapter 49  Instinctively, I struck the person’s face with the back of my hand.  “It’s me, Cathy!” the person exclaimed.  Then they turned on a faint light using their cellphones. …

I watched in horror as the female fan, who had been hiding in bed for the longest time, suddenly climbed onto the window. She sat at the open window with…

Chapter 47  Impatiently, Robert took out his phone and asked, “Why do I have to come to a place like this?”  His eyes were filled with obvious disdain, as if…

Chapter 46  Although I didn’t think deeply about it, my heart was suddenly struck as if someone had pulled a thread, causing a sharp pain!  Yet I didn’t dwell on…

“If it weren’t for me saying those words back then, what would have become of the Orlando family?” I stared intently at his face, tilting my head, smiling but not…

Chapter 43  “I’ll give you one night.” He looked down at his watch. “Tomorrow at 9 AM, you bring Iris to the door of the Orlando family on your own.” …

Chapter 42  At that point, he Tinally let out a cold lattel. “As a person, don’t think of yourself as clever, it can lead to unintended consequences.  After praling, he…

Thinking about Iris and Aurora’s plan against her, the feeling in her heart ignited!  After the fit of anger subsided, she called Jenny. “Jenny, can you help me?”  She recounted…

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…
