Book1 Chapter 10
“Go away!” she grumbled.
Trina Greenfield was far from a morning person. She treasured her sleep more than life itself. “I made food,” I bribed. “With turkey bacon just for you!” It was regular bacon but she didn’t need to know that.
I saw a large glob of hair peak up from under a pillow. “There’s turkey bacon?”
“Only if you get up now before Justin eats everything,” I said casually. She was quick to really wake up after that and she
tried to bolt out of bed but she was still tangled in the sheets and ending up falling to the floor.
I looked down at her shaking my head. “How is it that you can fight someone twice you size while doing your hair but you
get taking down by a blanket?”
She stuck her tongue out at me. “Bully.”
I grinned and held my hand out to her. Once she was free of her attackers she dumped the blankets back on the bed in a
big heap. I suppressed a sigh and reminded myself that she was only nineteen. A little over a year older than I was when I first found her and brought her to the pack. “Don’t forget that you have classes today.”
Trina grumbled. She went to high school every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It was a deal we’d worked out with the school after her sophomore year so she could be a weapons trainer while still being in school. Unfortunately it meant that she had to attend an extra year of high school. She wasn’t very thrilled about it but it was her last year before she could
become a full time trainer.
“I know how you feel about the school Tree,” I replied to her grumbles. I had hated the school when Jason had made me attend but education was important. “But you’re going so shower and get dress. I’m driving you as soon as you eat.”
She gave me the evil-eye before I left and went up to the top floor. Jason and Lily’s room was the only occupied room on the small third floor of the house. It was a status symbol. The Alpha was the top dog, or wolf, in the pack so his room was on the top floor. It’s just how it was. I kind of felt bad for my brother and his mate because they had more stairs to climb every day.
I rapped lightly on their door knowing that Jason was probably ready and Lily was slowing him down. Much like Trina, Lily was not a morning person.
The door opened to reveal a dark haired man with kind eyes. My Alpha and more importantly my brother. “I hear there’s food,” Jason said grinning.
I nodded. “I thought I would make sure you guys were up before someone,” namely Justin, “tried to steal all of it.”
He nodded. “I’d be down but you know Lily.”
He stepped aside and I walked in. The small Latino woman was still in sleep clothes and she glared at her mate’s implications. “Not everyone is like you, Jason. Some of us actually like our beauty rest.”
“And you certainly need it,” I chirped at her and he dark eyes narrowed.
“If you weren’t family I would slap you.”

My eyebrows rose, “You can reach that high?”
Her scowled deepened causing me to smile. She turned to her closet muttering, “Black haired devil,” at me.
I had taken to dying my blonde hair black soon after I became Jason’s Beta. It was another change, just like I had shortened my name. I actually took Jason’s last name, Greyson, after his mother had adopted me and his parents became my legal guardians until I turned eighteen.
“Love you too,” I said to Lily’s back. I turned to Jason. “After I drop Tree off at school we’ll go over the schedule for today, but you have a video conference call with the Alpha of the Blue Waters pack at seven while I’m gone.”
“You told me yesterday,” Jason said slightly tense. “I promise not to let the entire pack fall apart while you’re gone Kate.”
I pursed my lips critically. “I’m only going to be gone an hour but I’ll have my phone.”
Jason rolled his eyes. “It’s nice to see the faith you have in me, little sister.”
I raised one eyebrow. “That is Beta little sister to you, and last time I left for an hour the house looked like a tornado had
hit your office when I came back.”
“Hey, that-”
“I already told you I don’t want to know,” I cut Jason off before he could tried to explain how his office had gotten that way. I had a feeling Lily had been involved and I maintained a strict rule that their private activities remained forever private.
“Trina’s car should be fixed by Sunday and so she’ll have her own ride for Monday.”
