So did you bite me,” he growled, and I heard Arthur laugh, bringing me to look up and see him following behind us. “We aren’t notifying you, but it is about time we spoke to her about something. Believe me, what we have to say to her will make her forget about anything you did at school,” Seth said. “Doubt it. Mom already got the damage bill,” I told him, and Arthur sighed. “Lucy! How much was it?” he asked. “A little over twenty thousand,” I told him, and he squeezed the bridge of his nose before letting out a breath. “Fine. I will take care of it. But you need to behave when you go back.” “Can’t. They expelled me.” Seth growled his arm across my thighs, narrowing. “Wait. What do you need to speak to Mom about?” I asked curiously. “Nothing you need to worry about right now. You’ll figure it out, I am sure,” Arthur said. Seth walked up the steps of the porch before walking inside and dumping me on the lounge. “Stay. And try not to break anything or blow it up,” Seth said, wandering off and into the lavatory. “I will get you a shirt now that yours is covered in paint,” Arthur said, also walking down the hall. I got up, wandering around, glancing at the photos on the wall. Most were household photos when I stopped noticing a wall that was just of me growing up with them. We had always lived close, but now things felt different, they felt different. “Here,” Arthur said, arriving back into the room and handing me one of his shirts. I pulled mine off, tossing it at him before yanking his shirt on. I sniffed it, it smelled like him. “Geez! Lucy, you don’t just strip off,” Arthur growled, looking away. “What? It’s no different than seeing me in a bikini,” I told him, not comprehending his issue. He shook his head. “Did you guys differentiate cologne?” I asked him, sniffing his shirt, and he looked at me. “Do we smell different to you?” he asked, and I nodded. “Yeah, your scent is heaps stronger. You also zapped me earlier,” I told him, recalling the weird sensation that rushed over my skin when he touched me. He said nothing but appeared to be thinking about something. Seth came out fully outfitted a few minutes later after showering. “Come on. You need to fuSe fetch it sooner or later. Better with us with you,” Seth said, grasping my elbow and pulling me toward the door. I Didn't Want To go home. My mother would still s***k me even though I was nearly eighteen. That woman was crazy and damn, did she have a good hand. I could still recall the last ass-kicking she gave me, never thinking I would walk the same again. She branded my ass real good that day. Only this time, I messed up. I burned the entire science lab down. I still believe it wasn’t completely my fault. Yes, I burned the classroom down, but I only intended to destroy the table, not blow the whole Set up. Not my drawback, someone left the gas on, and the teacher was supposed to turn it off before locking it up. Seth opened the back door of the car, pushing me toward it. “How about you both go, and I wait here?” I indicated. Arthur looked over at me from the other side of the car. “Get in the car, Lucy,” he said, and I pursed my lips. Nope! I am not going. I turned around only to find Seth smiling down at me. Was he finding my possibility of murder amusing? “Get in the car, Lucy,” he said as well, folding his arms across his broad chest, but this big buffoon didn’t scare me. How could they when I grew up with them? I raised an eyebrow at his words and was about to tell him to go suck on a big one when he bent down, proving how short I was. “I can always make you,” he said, and I scoffed at his words. “Make me then,” I teased, and he went to grab me, but I saw his hands twitch a second before and did the most logical thing any girl would do. I kicked him, and the reaction was instantaneous. I almost felt my imaginary nuts ache at the contact as he grunted, clustering his balls like his hands were the only thing leaving them attached to him as it could somehow stop his pain. “Ha! That will teach you to be balls deep in Melana,” I told him as I darted off, bossing for the forest at the back of the packhouse. “f**k’s sake! Seriously? You couldn’t just toss her in?” I heard Arthur tell him before chasing after me. My legs moved at lightning speed as I tried to recall which way went where. I had not existed on this flank of the timbers in years, but I understood there lived a river somewhere. I just had to find it. I could follow it, knowing it led to Mitchell’s plSeth, he would help me hide from my mother and these two. He was presumably the only person whom I liked in our pack. And who didn’t look at me funny for my weird eyes? Hearing water, I diverted, heading for it, when I heard a growl from behind me, making adrenaline course through my body as I took the yield up my path I could smell the water. I was so close that I could hear the river running downstream. I was nearly in the clear. I just had to jump over to the other side, and I knew I was free. Though that put me in our neighboring pack’s region, I would only be quick and doubt they would detect me. I giggled when my foot left the bank before Arthur yelled through the mind link at me, his voice booming through my head, startling me. I lost my footing, tumbling forward, the fall knocking the air from my lungs. “Lucy, no!” he cried just as I hit the ground on the other side. I turned to look at him when I heard growls coming from the trees near me. At first, I didn’t understand when the five wolves strode out of the trees like they were waiting for someone to cross. I was more confused because they were members of a pack in alliance with ours, but their wild growls said otherwise.
