Twisted moon series book 1

Discussing Shayla’s new role

“Sabrina, can you take some time to come to the pack house so that we can inform both Shayla and Richard of the current events.” “Yes but can we discuss this with them separately, I don’t want him to hurt her in anyway” “I agree and it will also let her know that you are still family just not him.” I will inform my mom and dad to bring her to the conference room. I open a mind link to ask my mom and dad to bring Shayla to the room but I also ask for my friends to join.

Entering the room I see everyone there and I smile. Shayla runs up to Sabrina “auntie I swear I am being good.” “Oh my beautiful girl I know you’re a very good girl, a very important girl.” “That’s not true auntie, uncle Richard said I’m a no body.” This makes everyone growl, even though I have heard her say it before it still pierces my heart. “Now you look at me Shayla” Sabrina says in a growl. “I never want to hear you say that again!!! You are the most precious girl I have ever known, you are sweet, kind, and you put others first. If you didn’t think you were special then look around you.. do you see all these adults in this room, do you know who they are? This is our alpha, his Luna, their daughter who is our next Alpha and the others are the soon to be beta, gamma, and delta. Do you know why all of them are here? They are here for you, they are here for us Shayla. They are here to help me to keep you safe! You are important, you are loved you are so very special. I am so honored to be your aunt but even more I’m honored to have a pack like this that protects its own. I love you Shayla I’m sorry I haven’t been able to be around to know what he was doing to you, even though I was working to keep us afloat it is no excuse. I should have came for help but shame and grief kept me not to mention the guilt of failing my sister, your mom in taking care of her angel. You are all the family I have left Shayla and this is probably one of the hardest decisions I’ve made in my life but before I completely say yes to this decision I need to ask Shayla, how would you feel if young alpha Scarlet adopts you?”

Shayla looks from Sabrina to me then back to her “auntie will I get to see you still are you leaving me too why does everyone leave me I’m not loved what do I do wrong.”

I roar out in Tundras voice “Pup come here,”she takes a few steps towards me shaking and crying, I pick her up in my arms she is so under weight. “Look at me baby girl, I will NEVER take your aunt away she is always welcomed, and I have no intention whatsoever to hurt you in any way you are so loved already by me. I will rip anyone apart for looking at you wrong. When you saw me earlier as you were crying all I wanted to do was have you hop on and ride me so that I could hear you laugh like I did when you were playing the day before. But also look around you again those very same people that your aunt pointed out to you will now become your grandma, grandpa, your cousin would be Raven and they will be aunts and uncles. They will also tear anyone apart for hurting you. Do you understand? I Tundra, Scarlets wolf has claimed you pup. Your mine, mine to protect, mine to love, mine to teach and guide you into becoming an equally amazing woman as you are a pup.” I set my pup back down on her feet only for her to wrap her little arms around me “I’d like for you to be my mom” this caused Tundra to rumble approvingly in my chest.

Then that answer my question and solidified my decision in agreeing to this. I will have her things packed up by this weekend. I will have two guards go with you to pack her things after we talk with Richard. I don’t want him to try to hurt her by hurting her things especially if it is Momentos of her late parents.” “I didn’t even think about that, that would be best and if they would also allow me to leave with them back to the hospital so that I’m not alone with him that would be great.” “If your that scared of him then should you ever go back?” Asks Thomas. “I can’t banish him from the pack he hasn’t yet done anything completely wrong in the public behind clothes doors yes but as you know for a alpha to step in I have to either see it or have undeniable proof. “Stupid laws and their ability to tie one’s hands.” “Mom can you take Shayla to my spare room, her new bedroom and find out what she will need. Sabrina I don’t want to take everything, I am hoping that there will be a day where she and you could have sleep overs or other things that she may need use of her bedroom that is in your current house so please only pack clothes and things that are irreplaceable for her, please also keep some clothes for her still at your place because like I said you are not leaving her life, when you have free time I will gladly let you spend that time with her. The only rule I have is that he not be alone with her and if you need or feel more comfortable then I will send a guardian with but these are arrangements that we can discuss when the time is happening. Right now it’s time to have a chat with your mate.

Richard walks in the conference room 5 minutes later and he is already smelling like he is three shots in the wind. “Babe what are you doing here? You’re supposed to be working!” “Sit down Richard” I order. “You again , where is the brat she needs to do her chores.” “ Shayla is busy, and she will be busy for the foreseeable future for you. You see I have called you in because I am adopting her.” “Like hell you are! You can’t just come back here and decide to take a child away from her family!” “Im not taking her away from her blood family, her family can and will visit anytime she wants. You however will not have that luxury. Shayla is mine and if I see you anywhere near her again, I will rip you from limb to limb. You may earn her back in your life should you turn your life around, quit the bull s**t and grow a pair keep a job help your mate so that she doesn’t have to work so hard and go to anger management. These are the things you would need to prove that you are not just worthy to have that precious pup on your life, but it would prove that your a worthy mate to an amazing woman of this pack.” He growls out “I didn’t come here to be humiliated by the likes of you, I’m worth more than you ever will.” “How so you couldn’t even protect yourself at this moment let alone your mate or her niece. I don’t know what makes you think your worthy but in my opinion a good mate is capable of protecting himself and others, he contributes to the pack not taking from his mate to pay for things and lastly a worthy mate wouldn’t come to a meeting with his alpha drunk and complaining about a pup not doing anything when he hasn’t lifted a finger to do anything. So tell me mut what makes you not only a worthy mate but a worthy man or fellow pack member? Now as I was saying… next thing I know he has gotten up and left the room. I turn to look at Sabrina who only bows her head in shame. Don’t bow for him. He might be your mate but this shame is his alone, you’re not encouraging him to act this way. It’s his own insecurity.” “What makes him so insecure.” She muttered under her breath not thinking i could hear. “You make him insecure, your strength, intelligence, and beauty. He is the type of man that struggles with the idea of his mate being better than him, so with you being a nurse this makes him feel inferior so he has to bring you down or control you in some way. Having Shayla around ment you were going to stick around, it also ment that the bills would be paid. Now that’s gone that’s where the anger comes in. He hurt Shayla becomes he could not hurt you and by starting now it would break Shayla’s spirit so that when she met her mate she would not be a strong woman like she is as a pup.” “Thank you alpha that does make a lot of sense, and honestly I can tell that you speak of experience in this department and see the signs, thank you for your advice” my beta and delta follows him to the boarder of the pack I don’t know where he is going but Gamma Thomas can walk you to the house and get Shayla’s things.
