JAMES: “What time on Wednesday, I do have school and practice.” I tell him. “I don’t care what you have, and what do mean you have practice, football is over. You will be at this meeting, we will stand to make about Eighty thousand a quarter from this one trade agreement, and I know that may not sound like much, but considering the fact that he is willing to take the slag ore off our hands is a plus for us.” He says. “Not to mention I am sure he wants to get to know who he will be doing business with, in the future.” “Yes dad practice, it’s something new the coach implemented last year, the seniors practice throughout the year to help get the next season’s team get ready. But fine I will be there.” I say. Not that I really have much choice, I am looking forward to taking over for my dad, I just hope that I can find my Mate and luna before I turn twenty. I don’t think I could handle working with dad side by side like Adrian did before he found Kina. Don’t get me wrong, I love dad but sometimes he drives me up a wall, he needs to come into the twenty-first century with some of his business dealings, maybe start thinking in terms of getting into some tech.
JESSIE: “Only Eighty thousand? What’s he want it for?”
DRAKE: “I don’t know I didn’t ask him, but I’m sure it will come up at the meeting on Wednesday, and why do you say it like that, (Only eighty thousand) the fact that he wants it, helps us, we don’t have to pay to dispose of it, and we get paid to get rid of it! It’s a win, win in my book.” “Sorry daddy, I just thought that if he wanted it so bad he would pay more, that’s all.” She says. JAMES: Leave it to Jessie to try and push the boundaries, getting eighty thousand every quarter and for a waist product is pretty damn good I’d say, but Jessie always wants more, greedy wench. “It’s a waist product Jessie, we can’t get a premium price for it no matter what he wants it for, understood?” I say to my daughter. “Yes daddy.” She replies.
KESKA: Thank the goddess the trip home was a nonevent, unlike the trip out. Halfway home I ask, “Anyone hungry?” “What Ya got?” ask Pete “leftover sandwiches from the ceremony, chips, and water.” I say to everyone in the vehicle “Sure” I hear from all of them. I passed out the food and settled back for the rest of the trip home. Half an hour out I call Mackie. “Hey, we will be home in thirty.” I say to her. “Do you want me to come over?” she asks “no, meet me at Nana’s” I say to her. “It’s kind of late to be going to Nana’s don’t you think?” she asks. “Yeah, but if she sees me later, with the bandages on my arm and a bruise on my face she will go ballistic, so I just figure I will get it all done and over with in one fell swoop.” I tell her. “Yeah, you’re right about that. Ok I will meet you at Nana’s.” she says, and we hang up. As we pull through the gates of our pack, I ask Frank “Hey, Frank, can you stop and let me out here, please?” “Sure.” He says and stops the vehicle, I get out and head straight to Nana’s house, it’s closer to the gate then it is to the pack house. I link Mackie I’m home and headed to Nana’s. She sent back on my way. I wait for her to get there before I knock on Nana’s door. “Who is it” Nana calls out. “It’s me Nana, I’m home” I call out to her. I hear hurried footsteps coming to the door. “It’s late dear.” She says as she opens the door. “I know Nana, but I just needed a Nana hug.” I say to her. She opens the door wide enough for Mackie and me to step through. “Come to the kitchen.” She says as she heads down the hall towards it. She starts the tea kettle and takes out the chi tea and horehound.
KESKA: Nana knows me so well, it’s my favorite. “Now tell me what’s going on with my Keska.” She says. So, I pulled up the bit of sleeve to show her my upper arm where Mimi Sutter grabbed me. “What happened?” she asked as she takes the bandages off my arm, and then takes a good look at my face. I hear her hiss through her teeth when she sees the claw marks left on my arm. “Who did this?!!” she demands as she turns my face to her. I even hear Mackie’s intake of breath when she sees my arm. “The ELDER MRS. SUTTER.” I say, and I watch, as Nana starts bustling about the kitchen grabbing herbs and salves from the cupboards.
“Mackie, please get a washcloth from the bathroom get it as hot as you can under the faucet.” Mackie hurries off to do as Nana bids. I hear the water start to run in the bathroom, then Mackie returns just a couple minutes later with a hot washcloth in her hand. Nana takes the cloth and says, “this is going to sting a bit.” As she places the washcloth on my arm, and then starts to mix some of the herbs she gathered into the salve. She takes the cloth away and starts to rub the salve into the wounds directly, that’s when the stinging starts. “This will help minimize the scaring and makes sure there is no infection.” She states. “Now tell me what happened.” I proceeded to tell my Nana and Mackie everything that happened at the coronation/luna ceremony, from Mimi Sutter slapping me, and disowning me, to the incident in the kitchen before we left to come home. Leaving out the part about alpha Camron. As I was telling them everything the tea kettle started to whistle. Nana poured us each some tea. I felt better, I felt calmer. Nana didn’t say much while I was telling her what happened, but I could tell she was pissed, to say the least. “It’s late girls, head upstairs and get ready for bed, you have your aikido training in the morning.” She states in a calm and steady voice. Both Mackie and I have left clothes at Nana’s house for just such occasions because it’s happened before. We both put our teacups in the sink, kiss Nana on the cheek and hug her goodnight and head off to bed.
LILLY: I am absolutely furious as I listened to Keska, how dare that gold digging, statis climbing, bitch put her hands on my grand pup, she forgets just who we are. I will have to remind her, there is a reason that the Brookes family is the only werewolves that the Lycan’s have on the royal guard. I am a patient person she will get hers. (“Stephen, please come to the kitchen”) I link my man servant. (“Yes, Miss Lilly.”) I only wait a couple of minutes before Stephen comes in. “Stephen over the next couple of days I will need you to set up the obstacle course in the back yard, it’s time I start training Keska and Mackie.” I tell him. “Yes Miss Lilly” he says in his soft tenor. Then he leaves. I wash up the cups, put them in the rack to dry and head up to bed myself.
LILLY: The next morning, I get the girls up and make them breakfast, and make sure they have what they need for their training class. “Let me take a look at your arm Keska.” I say to her. She pulls up the short sleeve of the shirt she is wearing the and I take bandage off and make sure that everything looks good before I reapply the salve and rebandage her arm.
