Back and Better book novel Chapter 4

Chapter Four Hello, again

“Hello, again” I ended up packing fairly lightly because I’ll probably go shopping.

Tomorrow we start at the high school here, hence why I ended up bringing my backpack and school supplies. If I’m staying here long, I sure as s**t am going to keep doing well. Tomorrow is the first day after Thanksgiving break, so it’s still pretty early in the school year. I shouldn’t have any issues with the work.

As Antha and I unload, I see my brothers pull up as well. Damon steps out of his car and comes over to wrap me in a hug. The twins join.

“Are you okay, little sis?”

I snort. “I’m fine, guys. I’m going to run to the grocery store for my secret stash of junk food after putting away my S**t and then to the mall tomorrow after school for clothes with Antha. Then I’ll get in touch with the owner of an ice skating rink here to see if I can use it after hours. I’ll be plenty busy.”

They let me out of the hug. “Okay.” Damon says.

“Blood Warrior pack, you honor us with your presence. Please, come inside, and I’ll show you to your respective rooms,” I hear Erebus’s voice call out.

Please don’t recognize me. Please don’t. Please, please, please don’t. Antha hooks loops her arm in mine, and we go to the trunk of our car to get our stuff. “Alpha Damon, Jason, Derick, thank you for coming.” “Just following orders,” Damon says monotonously. “Oh, and I understand you brought your sister. Where is she?” Erebus asks.

f**k it. He’ll find out sooner or later. After all, I do make a living by training weak wolves, and this pack is brimming with them.

I move from behind the car with Antha , “That’s me,” I chirp. Erebus’s eyes widen. “Mine,” he says, causing me to smile falsely.

“Definitely. Now if you can show us to our rooms that would be great. And tomorrow, before school, my brothers and I will discuss training times and strategy’s with you. Tam sharp, if you will.”

Erebus is still staring me with love, adoration, and lust. “Alpha, if you could take us to our rooms, that would be lovely.” “Hey, Erebus, your dad wants to know if you- OH, S**t!” My brother, Brendon, comes out of the packhouse and stops cold when he sees me. “Little sis?” he asks quietly. “Not anymore,” I singsong. “Alright, either you show us to our rooms or we’re done here,” Damon says in his alpha voice.

The blood warrior pack is at the top of the hierarchy of packs, and demands respect from every other pack. Even our omegas are held in high regards. So Damon is kind of the Alpha of Alpha’s, in a sense. When he speaks, others must obey.

“Umm, yes, of course. This way.” Erebus says hoarsely. As he leads us into the house Brendon grabs my arm. I wrench it out, slapping him.

“Touch me again and it’ll be the last thing you do for a long time.” I hiss before shoving him aside and walking into the house.

After we’re led to our rooms and I put away the few things I brought, I knock on Antha’s door. She opens and smiles widely. “Ready to go get food?” “Yep” I say, popping the p.

Cute. He’s probably getting some roses for his girlfriend. I turn and walk to my car, hoping he doesn’t see me, but no such luck. “Amira?” I roll my eyes and turn around. “Dickwad?” I respond. “Can… can we talk?” he asks. I smile. “Of course! Tomorrow, 7 am. We’re talking strategy, remember?” His face saddens. “You know that’s not what I mean.” I shrug. “Sorry, sugar. The day I left this pack I decided that I no longer speak with assholes.” “I’ve changed,” he says.

“Yeah. And I s**t rainbows,” I respond with a smile before turning and walking to my car where Antha is watching with amusement

I put my goodies in the trunk and drive away.
