When Dad walked in, the rage on his face was palpable . I knew he was angry at me but I wasn't wrong either . * Elijah . ” Mom began . “ Not now Red . This time I'm not going to listen . " He said quietly . “I think we all need to calm down first. ” Liam said . Forever the peacemaker in the family , but I was glad he wasn't angry ; I will talk to him about Damon later . I owe him that much . ” Don't tell me to calm down . “ Dad growled . ” Elijah baby , he's right . “ Mom said as she walked over to him , wrapping her arms around him and burying her head in his neck . The frown on his face didn't let up but I sensed him calming down , although he was fighting to stay angry at me .
" Let's talk calmly . “ She whispered into his ear . Goddess . The magic mom had to tame dad was impressive . But before dad could reply the doorbell rang and I was hoping whoever it was , came with a distraction that would stop this from getting worse . I'd rather talk to dad when he was calmer . The familiar scent made me smile as granddad walked in.“ Do you ever do anything but shout Elijah ? " * Seeing your face isn't helping . ” Dad said , although he met his father with a small smile and a hug . Grandad then gave mum a huge bear hug , before meeting Liam . “ Do you kids no longer shower after training ? I mean, you two stink . “ He said , making me feel embarrassed . 2 "Oh my god is it that bad ? What would have- “ I stopped myself thinking , I was about to say Alpha — Alejandro ... Goddess , I needed t o stop thinking about him .
"Yeah, it is awful . Now both of you should go shower, then we can have a drink . Scarlett, any of your bakes available ? “ * Doesn't mama bake anymore for you ? “ Mom teased as I rushed from the room first, ignoring the pain my ankle . It was , after all, ever — present . 1 “ Not as much . She says she's retired ! I heard Grandad complain . I smiled , how I missed them . It was always nice when they visited . ” Kia I ” Liam called just as I reached the top step . I stopped as he climbed the steps 3 at a time before stopping in front of me . I looked up at him and he sighed . “ I'm sorry about flipping earlier ... It's still weird for me , but I know you're not a kid anymore . “ 11 Wow , was Liam actually apologising ? He really was a softy at heart
I felt guilty too , I shook my head.” No, I'm sorry too . We've called our agreement off . Besides, we're at the age where we need to find our mates ... So ... Yeah . "I shrugged and he looked at me with sadness in his eyes . “ I hope I wasn't the reason for it.” “ Not really . But you're right , someone could get hurt.” * There's one more thing . “ He said hesitantly . I looked at him curiously , waiting for him to continue . ” I didn't mean to suffocate you . I know you say it a lot but I never realised it was s o bad that you want to leave and go elsewhere . ” He said , trying to hide how my words had affected him . I had hurt him . The very thought made my chest clench painfully . This wasn't my aim . I shook my head and wrapped my arms around his waist . ” I know , but I just want to do stuff without everyone worrying for me . To be more than the Alpha's daughter . * I whispered , inhaling his comforting scent . Grandad was right, we did stink . “ Ill support you .
When we discuss this with dad , I promise I'll be on your side . “ H e said , kissing the top of my head . 11" Thanks . “ “ Come on, we better get- Whoa , you're still bleeding a little ... How hard did he hurt you ?! ” ” Long story — I pissed the king off . ” I said . His eyes flashed and he growled . ” He hurt you that badly 2“ 11 it.” Liam ! You're doing it again ! I did ask for ” I sighed and smacked his arm . Seriously , it was my fault . Don’t get so overprotective . We both know that if he wanted , I'd be dead right now . * ” True . Seriously Kia, stop pissing him off . I don't even know how you can handle his presence . 1 11 “ Hmm, no idea — he's a jerk . "I said , although I had to admit that he was a really hot jerk . “ Well see you downstairs , I better go shower . He nodded and I gave him a smile before walking off to my room .
I was hoping with Grandad here he may be on my side , because I was serious , I needed a break from this pack . Yes I loved it, but I wanted to be able to live independently , even if it was just for a short time . 1 It was an hour later and we were all seated with mom's freshly baked chocolate muffins and tea in front of us . I had just told Grandad that I wanted to move to another pack, as experience to learn more about herbs and to apply my knowledge somewhere . It's just I want to do something useful without being treated special . I love our pack, but I just need a break . If I could go for a few weeks or so just to learn something new . There are several packs with the best doctors and if I could spend a little time there , it would be great . Just think , you know I love medicine and herbs .
Dad, I wouldn't even get in trouble because I'd be doing something I love . I finished . “ I think it's a fair suggestion.” Mom added . ” You will probably leave once you find your mate ... Although I'd like it if your mate were here ... ” Dad said frowning . * Like who ? * Liam asked , drinking his glass of milk . The baby didn't drink hot drinks , but he had milk in the morning and at night. I smirked slyly as I looked at his milk moustache . Should I sneak a picture ? I bit into my muffin just as dad spoke . “Damon, he would be ideal . ” I choked on the big bite I had stuffed in m y mouth . It was now Liam's turn to smirk , thumping my back . “ Damon huh ? ” He asked , his brow furrowed . ” Yeah, he's a good kid . " Dad replied . Dad just wanted me forever close to him . Yeah, I'm sure he wouldn't think that of Damon if he knew he had been between my legs often enough for the last two years ... I felt a little guilty thinking of Damon
H e hadn't been on the group chat either . Although we three could mind link , we liked some normality and Raven didn't have the link yet, so it was only fair to use phones . I wonder how he was feeling . ” You're saying Damon because he’s the only decent one around , but the past doesn't define someone . You should know that . “ Mom said from where she was sitting in dads lap . " I won't deny it, but my girl deserves the best. “ I rolled my eyes . Typical dad comment.” Well , it could also be karma, if her mate turns out like you . " Grandad added chuckling . 2 “ I think ... If Kiara wants to go somewhere for a month , I mean the blood moons in about four weeks . Why not let her ? ” Liam said hesitantly , trying once more . I take back what I said earlier . He really wasn't a s bad as dad . I felt a leap of happiness at his words , he really was supporting me . Mum and dad exchanged looks and I wondered what it was about . After a moment, dad sighed deeply . ” I'll think about it . But until 1 do, I want you on your best behaviour . ”
What was I ? Ten ? Dad was so overbearing ! I pouted but didn't argue . If I wanted an outlet, then this might be the way . I just had to be a little patient. “ So, I think that's settled . “ Mom stated , giving me a positive smile . “ I should hope so . You can't be so controlling son . “ Grandad added but dad didn't speak . 4 From the slight faraway look in his eyes , I knew he was being mind linked or linking someone . He stood up suddenly , looking a t Liam . I could feel his power and the seriousness in his next words , and it made my stomach twist . “ There's been an attack . On pack grounds .
