Chapter 30


    As if this couldn’t get any worse. My sister is upstairs with a creepy shrine to one of my mates, and


    here I am, running into the one person I have wanted to avoid the most. I truly don’t have the energy to


    deal with my father right now, but I guess, at this point, I have no other choice.


    I stand still and take a few deep breaths. “I said: what the hell are you doing in my house?” I gulp, but


    no words are forming in my mind, let aloneing out of my mouth. I can feel my heartbeat increase,


    and I have to say that I’m pretty scared. I don’t know what is going to happen with my dad.


    “I came t…..to ch……check on A….aida.” Goddess, I sound so pathetic, but I can’t help it. My father


    has always made me nervous, and there are times that I’ve been terrified, and this is one of those


    times.


    “Check on Aida? Why would you care enough to check on Aida? You are the reason why she is as


    withdrawn as she is. You took away her future, and now you want to check on her.” My dad shakes his


    head in disgust, and I can feel myself shrinking away from my dad. In a way, he’s right; if I hadn’t been


    fated to the twins, my sisters would be in a better ce.


    “Either way, I’m meant to be the Luna and Lunas look out for their pack members and make sure things


    are okay. I’m just doing my duty.” I sigh softly and try to walk toward the door. If I can get out of the


    house without this blowing up, I will be extremely grateful. Dad must be paying close attention because


    he stops me before I get too close to the exit.


    My back hits the wall beside me, and my dad has his hand around my neck, applying pressure that is


    causing my breathing to be shaky at best. “I could end you right now. I could make you cease to exist,


    and then my daughters would get everything they deserve.” My dad leans in closer so that our noses


    are almost touching. “Give me one good reason to keep you living.”


    My hands are wing at my dad’s, and for a brief moment, I contemte shifting. The issue is that I


    know shift won’t do anything but cause more issues, and it won’t guarantee that I would get my neck


    broken in wolf form. When ites down to it, my father is stronger than I am. He has been training all


    his life in wolf and human form. I really don’t have much of a chance to win against him. “Now, daddy,


    you really don’t want to do that.” My eyes dart to the side, and I see Aida standing on the bottom step


    of the stairs. She looks pretty calm and not like the type of person who would have the shrine I found


    not long ago.


    I’m quickly let go and hit the ground with a thump. Dad starts to walk toward Aida. “My baby! How are


    you feeling?” He reaches out and grabs Aida’s hand, pulling her to him. He wraps his arms around her


    while her arms find their way around his waist.


    “I’m okay daddy. I’ll be better when she leaves the house.” I watch the scene while gasping for breath


    and trying to run the pain out of my neck. I slowly get to my feet, not knowing if I should speak or just


    leave.


    “You heard my daughter….get the hell out.” I waste no time running out of the house and heading to


    the packhouse. I don’t know how close I was to losing my life today, but I don’t want to be that close


    again.

    I’ve been trying to keep busy while Tia was gone. It’s been hard trying to focus on all of this paperwork.


    I know I have warriors following her, but it’s not the same as being able to watch her myself. Lincoln got


    lucky and won our rock, paper, scissors; he got to do a patrol to keep his mind off of things.


    “Son, I think you may want to head outside.” I look up, and my dad is watching me. I wonder why I


    would need to go outside. A small smile forms on his face, and I know exactly where I need to be. Tia


    is making her way back, and I need to make sure she is okay.


    I run down the stairs and out the front door. I stop on the porch and look out. I can see Tia walking


    toward me at a slow pace. I want nothing more than to run to her and scoop her up in my arms, but I


    don’t want to seem too eager. I impatiently wait on the porch, wishing I had to power to speed up time.


    The closer Tia gets, I can see her features. She looks a bit upset and scared. She is rubbing her neck,


    making me wonder if everything is okay. I step off of the porch steps as Tia walks closer. I hold my


    arms open, and Tia walks right into them, wrapping her arms around my waist. I lean my head down on


    hers, and I can hear her sobbing. “What is it love? What happened over there? How is your sister?” Tia


    continues to sob, and I rub her back gently. Her sobs start to diminish, and I rub my hands down her


    arms, pushing her back at her elbows.


    Looking at Tia, I can feel the anger surge through me. There are finger marks on the sides of her neck.


    Who dared to touch my mate?! I feel a growl in my chest. “Who touched you?!” Tia looks at me with


    watery eyes, but she doesn’t open her mouth to speak. I ce my hand on her face and run my thumb


    over her cheek. “Tell me who hurt you,” I say in a calmer voice.


    Tia clears her throat and ces her forehead on my chest. “It doesn’t matter. I don’t want to talk about


    it.” I sigh and wrap my arms around her again.


    “It does matter, but I will let it go…….for now.” Tia looks back at me and reaches up on her toes to


    touch her lips to mine. The sparks take over my mind, and I forget about her neck and who I may need


    to punish. Tia moves her head to the side and deepens the kiss while her tongue seeks entry. I grant it,


    and Tia wastes no time in painting the inside of my mouth with her tongue. I can feel the fire build


    inside me, and my hardness increases.


    I hear a car in the distance. It stops, and a door opens and closes. I hear a door open behind me, but


    Tia’s kiss is taking my focus. “What I’ve seen so far, this ce is gorgeous,” a voice says in front of me.


    The voice sounds a bit familiar, but I can’t ce it.


    “I’m so d you made it. I can’t wait to show you the rest of the pack.” That voice definitely belongs to


    my mom. I remove my tongue from Tia’s mouth and kiss her lips a few more times before lifting my


    head and looking in front of me. My blood runs cold at the sight.

    “Landon, are you okay? What’s wrong?” Tia’s voice is almost drowned out by the ringing in my ears.


    Never did I think this would happen, but here we are. My mouth has gone dry, and I can’t answer Tia.


    She turns and looks behind her. Tia steps away from me and extends her hand. “Hi. Wee to the


    Emerald Lake Pack. I’m Tia Colby and you are?”


    My mom has made her way from the front door to stand next to me. “Why that is my visitor. She is


    Jenna Brenner from the Moonlight Pack.” Mom turns to me with a smile on her face. “Landon, honey,


    say hello to Jenna.”
