Chapter 105
60 – Kennedy
I have to make the best of this. It’s been weeks and I haven’t left the packhouse or seen Ryker at all. My usual stubborn side has been stuffed way back into my mind because I don’t want to get any of the warriors in trouble again. Who knows what Ryker did to them last time, but none of them talk to me anymore and I haven’t seen Jensen since the attack. I can’t ask anyone about it, even though I’m not really ever alone, someone is always lurking around. Their punishments were enough to make them keep their distance. I can call Jeremiah and Rayna now. But this has proven to be a bigger problem. I can’t tell them the whole truth.
Jeremiah can see bullsh*t a mile away, especially mine. We have never been able to lie to each other, so I have to come up with creative half truths about my time here. At least Rayna could back up my story about not having my phone because it was being checked by an IT team. I guess her brother has always been extra cautious with electronics.
“Yeah, it’s a little boring being stuck here, but I don’t know anything about the part of the pack he’s visiting.” I explain my latest BS excuse to Rayna. “It doesn’t make sense for me to travel with him yet. I need to understand how he does things with combined packs before I go anywhere and embarrass him p>
“Well, how are you supposed to learn if you don’t go with him? It’s been over a month since you got there. I should tell him to take you next time.” Rayna is frustrated on my behalf and it’s adorable.
“No! I’m good right now. I have a ton on my plate with school and stuff. Finals are coming up, then I only have one more semester left. It’s just easier if I stay behind and focus. We are both adjusting and just need a little more time. I wasn’t planning on any of this so it’s taking longer for me to learn. I haven’t been training to be a mate or a Luna my whole life like you.” I try to turn the conversation back to her. “So, how is everything going? Are you going to make me an Auntie soon p>
“Oh! I love this pack so much! Everyone is so great, well not everyone, but almost. I found your fan club. Ugh, how did you put up with them? They’re awful and I don’t think they are nearly as snarky to me as they were to you p>
“They suck, but are mostly harmless. They really only have hateful words and I tried not to let it bother me, cause I never thought of Jer like that so I knew they were just being stupid. Hopefully they will grow out of it now that he’s really taken. Otherwise,
I would like a front row seat to your beatdown of them.” I laugh.
“Oh, don’t you worry, I took care of them. They won’t mess with you or me ever again.” She giggles and it’s not the cute kind of giggle, it’s a crazy, maniacal giggle that I have never heard from her before.
“What did you do?! And don’t think I missed you skipping over that auntie question.” I’m walking through the kitchen looking for a snack and totally into my conversation. It’s a quiet day in the packhouse which has given me
a little more freedom.
“I may have put them on trash duty at the school and…at the daycare, indefinitely.” She giggles again.
“Oh damn, they were probably so p*ssed p>
“Well, there isn’t anything they can do about it, a luna command is just as powerful as an alpha’s. When my mom gets back she can show you the ropes. Her and my dad still help Ryker with all the pack members so they aretraveling, but should be home soon. That will make everything so much better.” I don’t agree, but I don’t tell her that either.
