He growls rushing over to me, scooping me up as tears pool in my eyes.
“Carly now”
He calls as my body starts to shake and tremble, mum appears then suddenly we are both inside the packhouse with me in Branson’s arms, that’s when I lose it, everything that I had just done breaking me.
“Shusssh it’s ok baby, it’s ok it’s over”
I look at him as dad rushes inside, coming to my side as guilt hits me. I had never had to kill so many people before. I’d never had so many people want to kill me. My heart shatters as karma whimpers. She was ok with death and usually so was I but this was bigger than that.
“Tttttttherrree wassssss sooo mmmmmmannnnny”
I stutter, mum appears in front of me with a bottle of liquor but my hands shook so badly I couldn’t even grip it. She places it at my lips, she was silently crying as I swallow the amber liquid down, I don’t even feel the sting as I empty the bottle.
“You had no other choice”
Branson says quietly
“My head knows that, but my subconscious and heart don’t”
I answer before breaking, falling forward I cry my heart out. I killed so many people, I killed an entire family. I was a monster.
“No, you are not, you look at me right now”
Dad snaps, lifting my chin so I’m looking at him
“If you let them live they would have done despicable things to both you and Branson, they would have made your life hell, they would have put the pack and kingdoms in danger. You HAD to do this, any other way and so many more people would have died baby. I know it’s hard to hear that and it’s hard to understand but you had no other choice. You are not a monster and you never will be, half your soul is light my love so the things you have to do will always hurt you more than they ever will hurt someone like me or Branson or anyone that’s not your mum or sister for that matter. You all have the light inside you so it’s always going to be worse, but it’s that quality that makes you the perfect queen, it’s that quality that makes you the perfect heir, you will never take all the abilities that you were born to take on and use them for evil. You were chosen for this and it’s not going to be easy but it will be worth it in the end. This is what you were born to do and sometimes it’s going to hurt, but it just means your doing your job properly”
I study and take in every single word that he says to me, my heart slowly levels out and comes back to normal as mums healing powers flow into me, calming me right down. Suddenly everything he said took priority over everything else that happened here today. I still didn’t feel good about it but I no longer hated us for it. Karma stops whimpering and soon we are calm, cool and completely collected. I look to Branson
“Are you sad that I killed your ex-fiancé and her family”
He snorts rolling his eyes
“Oh please, sorry? More like grateful, iv wanted to kill them so many times but I just couldn’t do it, then they had a kid and I just completely ignored them, but after all 3 of them challenged you I was pissed, they had to hold me back I was going to kill that bastard myself”
Dad rolls his eyes
“Yeah the big sook couldn’t bare to watch you kick a*s”
“Are you trying to say he has little faith in me father?”
Branson goes to object but dad gets there first
“Yep, that’s exactly what I’m saying”
He stands up patting his shoulder then he goes to the chair pulling mum on his knee as I c**k my brow at him
“That’s not true I had complete faith in you”
“Really? It didn’t sound like it”
Karma says pushing forward
“I’m allowed to freak out when people are kicking my mate's a*s”
“Correction, if they got a hit in it’s cause I let them, not that you wouldn’t understand that”
She snipes sarcastically
“And what does that mean?”
“Strategy, you have none”
She snaps back, I roll my eyes, pulling her back and sitting forward
“Well she’s a b***h today”
He snaps at me
“Aww did the big bad wolf get his feelings hurt”
“You know I liked you both better when you were crying”
He responds
“Ohhh burn”
Mum calls laughing
“It will be a burn when I light his a*s on fire for being a d**k”
He gasps
“Oh you wanna go there, let’s go there then”
Karma pushes forward to watch him
“The only one whose a*s will be on fire around here is yours when I s***k it for talking to me like that in public”
Both mine and karmas jaws drop
In shock, my face flushed bright red.
“Well damn is it bad that that sounds good?”
She whispers as I look at my parents awkwardly, mum burst into a fit of giggles as dad heaves
“I can not believe you just went there”
Dad stutters as Branson laughs
“Blame her she started it”
He snaps burying his head in my neck and nuzzling me, I squeak as he bites down on my mark.
“Stop it”
I flick his face still red from embarrassment, I didn’t need to add horny to the list of things I did in front of my parents today.
He snaps at my fingers playfully making me chuckle as a lady comes to the table with a mountain of food.
“Luna it is so good to finally meet you, I’m Evelyn the head cook and house manager”
She puts her hand out to me so I take it reading her, she felt lovely
“Eveylin has been here since before grampa drake was born”
Branson tells us, I grin at her
“That’s amazing, thank you so much for the warm welcome”
“Of course, and don’t you worry about the pack, they will get in line and see just how amazing you are”
I chuckle nodding my head as my guards come in from outside
“Boys there is enough for you all, take a seat and a plate and I’ll be back with fresh coffee”
She calls to them all, and they smile, grabbing food as mum makes me a plate and passes it to me. It wasn’t nanas food but it wasn’t bad either.
“How does the field look?”
Dad asks Finn, he snorts shaking his head
“Yeah for one tiny person, you know how to cause destruction. You have new trees and vines and lava, where the hell did the lava come from?”
He leans over looking at me, I chew my lip as Branson and my parents laugh
“Yeah I don’t know, it all just kind of happened”
“Well is it going to come back?”
Aaron asks, I shake my head
“Nope I sent it back to wherever it came from, the vines won’t grow they just need chopping up, sorry about the mess”
Fay snorts
“Oh please that’s the least of my worries, those pricks deserved it after how they acted. You're excused from all future training by the way”
I shake my head
“Nope, I think it’s best I keep on going, Aaron was right, they need to know I’m fighting with them and not against them”
“Well it’s about time he got something right around here”
Dad says sarcastically
“I was starting to feel guilty that I ever gave him to you”
I nearly blow juice out of my nose I laugh so f*****g hard,
“You're a d**k, a big fat d**k”
