Chapter 42
Heading straight to my room after doing the summoning yet again. Each time I do any of these I get so overly tired. Loki told me that the pain had nothing to do with the witch. Had it been the witch the pain would have been in my neck. He has no idea what the pain was or why the stone in this damn thing changed.
He promised the first thing we do once the witch is here is to remove this damn necklace. So I hope they get here fast. Falling face first into my pillows as I fall asleep.
“I swear father to uphold our family. I will mate with the alpha that you have chosen “ I tell my father alpha, Aspen. “I know it’s not what you wanted sweetie but as you know it’s what’s expected. You read the journal right?” “I did. I will do what mother refused to do.” “That's my princess. Remember this stays between you, me, and Cole. Adam is not to know. He will know what is told to him when he returns from the Winters. Remember when you get there you will need to be used to the names you two choices. I will see you and your brother soon make me proud. Both of you.” “yes father we will. I had thought we would be here until we turned eighteen did something change?” Cole asked helping me close my bag.
“the warehouse is almost finished and your grandfather needs help. Some of the new recruits are not up to par. Bringing these two packs to him will increase his manpower and then the program can start sooner. As you know a few of our wolves have been having issues conceiving due to the toxins that were spilled on our lands a few years back. We need these programs to work not just for your grandfather’s side of things but the pack. If the witch can do what he says you will have the pups you both have always wanted” nodding closing my bathroom bag. “okay daddy I am ready. Cole?” he nods always the silent one. Shaking my head sadly this will be the first time we have been apart and it’s forever. No one can see us in the same place with our family we all look too much alike when close. Not so much when you see us one at a time. “I will miss everyone so much so will Cole.” Hugging my dad as a couple of warriors come to collect our bags. “I know sweetie. I had planned for you both to stay for this last year. But duty calls and we do not turn our backs on family.”
Shooting up in bed in a dead sweat. Looking out the window seeing the night sky. What was that? Who was that? Someone named Adam was here training and his father’s name is Aspen. Throwing my blankets off I cross the room and grab my laptop. I have been scanning everything into the office computer and sharing it with my laptop. Typing in the name Aspen I got too many results. I thought that would have been a safer name than Adam. So I type -Aspen, Adam, training- into my search bar. Coming back with only two entries. And I was not happy with what I found. Samuels both of them. Slamming my laptop closed I go and shower.

The taste of you on my lips is still the sweetest nectar of that night.

Not mine sorry she gave you the wrong number move on.
That should stop him. Blocking the number. Tossing my phone on the bed I go shower. Between the dreams and the fucking creep I’m wide awake.
Leaving my room and heading to the office my phone goes off again.
Blocked number

What has you running away my pet? Did something at the club frighten you? What was it? Or who was it?

I can’t block a number that doesn’t show up so guess it’s time for a new number. I have no idea how they even got my number to begin with. Ignoring the text and image of me coming out of the back door my hair a mess the mask in my hand. It’s then I realize the mask never made it back with me. I didn’t see masks on the guys when they got back or in the truck. Changing directions I go to my secret room. Storming in slamming the door. “what has you in a tiff again?” Loki’s tired voice fills the room. “at the club I was given a mask to wear. I just realized I left with the mask but it didn’t make it here.” “And?” “well where is it?” “at the club.” He replied like I was stupid. “huh?” “oh, I knew I forgot some things. Shit okay let’s start with masks are properly of the club they stay at the club. You are given one to wear and once you leave the mask snaps back to the box under the entry counter. That way no one wears the same mask twice.”
“What else did you not tell me?” “let's see. Don’t accept free drinks from the far there. Never say thank you to a fae either but those two are closely related. In the loud room, a small touch is asking for consent. If your answer is no move or pushes the hand off lightly they will move on if hot a guard will remove them.”
“What happens if you say thank you and take a free drink and drink it?” “Simply put you owe the far a favor. But you don’t have a ring around any of your fingers so you are fine.
