KESKA: After working in the kitchen for the better part of the hour I link Frank “Have you heard from father yet on when we will be leaving?” I ask him. My face is really starting to ache now. “Yes, he says we will be leaving in a half hour.” he sends back, and I close the link. I start to gather the finger sandwiches, snacks, and water I had put aside from earlier, when I feel a searing pain in my upper right arm. Turning to see who grabbed me I see the ELDER MRS. SUTTER “It’s not bad enough that you think you can claim family, but now you steal from us!!” She screeches at me, as her wolf claws dig deeper into my arm “No, Mrs. Sutter, I am not, Alpha Adrian gave me permission to take these for the trip home.” I tell her through gritted teeth. I keep my eyes on the floor, I just want to scream, the pain in my arm is so bad. Just as she was about to slap me again, Rex came into the kitchen. “Sally, Luna Becca is wanting more of that juice you made.” Then he notices me and the elder Mrs. Sutter, “What is going on here?” he asks with a bit of a growl. “Nothing that concerns you Gamma” she hisses out. I notice that his eyes cloud over. “Adrian. Kitchen. Now.”
ADRIAN: I was chatting with a couple of other Alphas discussing a possible business venture when I got the link from my Gamma. “Excuse me gentlemen I have a matter to attend to.” I say as I take Kina by the hand. “Of course.” they say. “What’s going on?” Kina asks me. “I have no idea, but I just got a link from Rex saying kitchen now.” I tell her. We make our way to the kitchen, and I see my gamma, my cousin, and my grandmother. “What is going on in here?” I ask, as I see my grandmother give my gamma a dirty look. “I told you it was none of your business.” “Keska, your arm! It’s bleeding, what happened?” Kina asks her. “I caught her stealing food from us!!” My grandmother states like she is the luna in charge. “What pack is she from” I ask my grandmother through clenched teeth. “Blue Cresent, of course.” She answers me like I’m an idiot. “Who is the alpha of that pack?” I asked “Adrian, you know full well who the alpha is, he is my second born son, your uncle Drake.” She says again thinking she is being superior. “Then how the hell do think she is stealing food? Are you going to denounce the whole damn family?” I shout at her. “I told her she could take the sandwiches, snacks and water for the trip home, and who the hell are you to go against your alpha’s word?” again I see red because of her. She knows I am pissed as Coros makes his presents known.
KINA: “Adrian, dear breathe, Coros, it’s ok, I am here.” I turn to Sally “have someone help Gamma Rex with whatever it is he needs and get me the first aid kit.” I say in my most calm voice, even though, like Adrian, I too am seething from the shit his grandmother keeps pulling. Sally’s eyes cloud over calling in another omega to help Rex she goes to the pantry to retrieve the first aid kit, and I start to dress Keska’s arm. As I am tending to Keska, I see that Adrian is taking two paper bags and filling them with most of the leftovers from the party and placing them neatly in the bags. I also noticed Rex has left the kitchen. “There you go Keska, that, should hold till you get home.” I tell her “Thank you, luna Kina.” she says to me. I just hugged her.
ADRIAN: After I fill the two bags with the leftovers, I get the omega that helped Rex, carry the bags to the vehicles of the Blue Cresent pack. “Take these to the warriors that came with Blue Cresent, just tell them with the alpha’s compliments.” I then turned back to my grandmother. “Is there anything else that you think she was steeling?” I ask her in a rather dismissive tone. “How dare you!” she screams at me. “How dare I what?” I hiss through clench teeth “I am the alpha of this pack, and you will do well to remember that, and not go against what I say or do. Is that clear to you grandmother?” She just stares at me with anger in her eyes and stomps out of the kitchen.
KESKA: “Adrian, please don’t fight with her, she never really cared all that much for me anyway, so please, don’t try and make her change her ways, it will only cause you misery and trouble for the pack.” I tell him. “The trouble that she causes for the pack is being disrespectful to its guest and members.” He states. “I have to go if I am not in the SUV, I will get left behind, and as they wouldn’t care, I don’t think the ELDER MRS. SUTTER would appreciate it.” I say as I pick up the last bag of food, giving both him and Kina a hug, I head out the back door and over to the security lot where the SUVs are parked. I open the back door and take my place in the last seat, with the bag of food next to me.
KESKA: I take out my phone and call Mackie. The phone rings a couple of times before she picks up. MACKIE: “Hello” KESKA: “Hey” MACKIE: “Thought you were going to call when you got home.” KESKA: “Yeah well, I needed someone to talk to and you’re the only one who gets me.” MACKIE: “What happened?” KESKA: “Grandma Mimi has rejected me in front of everyone in attendance, she slapped me, and then as I was getting things together for the trip home, she dug her wolf
claws into my arm, I am going to have scars now for the rest of my life because of her.” MACKIE: “What a bitch, does Adrian know what she did? Because we both know he wouldn’t put up with her shit and would put her in her place.” KESKA: “Yeah he knows, he did yell at her, but like all the others, it’s never her fault, she’s the victim not me.” MACKIE: “I am sorry, did you have any fun at all?” KESKA: “Yeah I did but that will have to wait until I get home, but I will leave you with this, I gave an alpha a black eye.” MACKIE: “You cannot just say something like that and leave me hanging!” KESKA: “Sorry but it will have to wait now until I get home, the guys are coming so I will have to go, but I promise I will call you when we are about a half hour out.” MACKIE: “Alright bye.” KESKA: “Bye.” I hung up the phone and put it in my bag as the warriors piled into the vehicle, and the two-and-a-half-hour trip home.
DRAKE: “James I have set a meeting up with alpha Camron for next week Wednesday to put the finishing touches on the trade agreement, and get the contract signed, he said he wants you to be there."
