I screw my nose up and groan, falling back against the chair ignoring the bit about the guards.
“Are you serious? Noooooo”
I fake cry huffing at the thought of a dress
“That cry may be fake but these damn tears are real”
Karma yaps, she hated dresses just as much as I do. They are so annoying, I like jeans.
(Branson)
‘Yeah, my mum and your mum are already talking about it. It’s out of my hands, but I give you full permission to tell them no, not that it will help but you know, at least you tried’
I growl crossing my arms over my chest and I glare at dad
“Get the woman under control, I refuse to look like a hooker”
Dad snorts and laughs
“What’s so funny”
I snap, he slams his fist against the table
“I just got the image of you standing on a street corner in hooker boots and your face looked like that”
He continues to laugh hysterically, making me chuckle with him. After a minute he calms down
“My advice is to go to Ali, she’s modest and she always looks nice”
The connection between my cousin Ali and I is very complicated so we just call each other cousins, but he was correct, out of all my family she was very modest.
“Breakfast is ready at nanas, move your asses we have a party to plan”
Mum shouts from the other room. I growl as dad starts laughing again
“f*****g pain in my f*****g a*s!”
I snap storming out with my phone.
(Katy)
‘You know I’d like you a whole lot more if you would just tell them no to a party
I reply as I leave the house, dad shakes his head laughing
“Would you stop laughing at me”
“I’m sorry but you talk to him like s**t and I can’t help it”
Mum slaps him then glares at me
“Don’t be rude to your mate Katy”
I snort rolling my eyes
“I’m not rude I’m just acknowledging his gift of being a dickhead”
She snorts but stops herself from shaking her head.
(Branson)
‘It’s funny that you think I have that much power
He replies, I roll my eyes
(Katy)
‘Not so big and f*****g scary now are we’
I text back, karma was grumbling in my head, pissed that we had to dress up at all. We are sweats and T-shirt kind of gals, maybe a pair of jeans when we have to do something, I don’t mind a suit for work but a dress is a hell f*****g no.
(Branson)
‘Have you ever met my mother? I’m a damn kitten compared to her. You wanna say no, you go for it but I pick my battles and this ain’t one I’m winning’
(Katy)
‘Fine! Chat with you later I’m going to breakfast
I send the message and lock the phone, it was weird, I didn’t feel like I hated him anymore, he’s extremely annoying but not to the point where I want to pluck my eyeballs out of my brain.
“Mmm your right, I don’t want that either”
Karma muses as we make it to nanas. As we arrive the place is crazy, people were everywhere, and all of them were so f*****g loud my head ached. I loved my family, and I loved coming for breakfast but there were just too many people for my liking.
I say hello and take my seat beside hunter who has ali on his knee, Dexter is next to them, nana lucy is next to Jaxon and Scott, Gerald and Adlai are opposite me and my parents are on my other side.
“So I hear you're becoming Luna?”
Adlai says excitedly, I groan glaring at mum
“Seriously they all already know!”
“Yeah I told her last week”
Mum says casually
“LAST WEEK! Are you serious? you knew this s**t was going to happen?”
She smirks shrugging her shoulders
“Maybe I thought it might be possible but it wasn’t definite until this morning. Now eat up we have a dress to find”
I glare at her and all the other women wishfully thinking that I could become their Barbie doll.
“If you make me look like a hooker I’m cutting off contact with you all and I’m running away”
Dad starts laughing again so I flip him the bird, nana reaches over and slaps the back of my head
“Hey what the f**k”
“Stop being rude at my table”
She snaps so I give her and dad the finger in my head like a big f*****g child but I didn’t care they annoyed me way too much. Dad rolls his eyes and I’m betting he’s giving it right back.
“So seriously are you becoming queen at the same time?”
Ali asks me, I shrug looking at dad
“It’s up to you Katy”
“If it’s official, he really can’t stop us from fulfilling our duties as queen”
Karma says pushing forward,
“You make a good point”
I look at dad and nod
“Why not, At least I’ll keep my identity”
“Why would you lose that?”
Nana asks, screwing up her nose at me.
“Well when a dude tells you where you're going to live, then tells you your not allowed to have the only friend I've got then he tells me I need to wear a dress because I’m becoming Luna like it or not I think that stinks of katy McGregor, Luna to Branson and not queen katana Mc Gregor, Lycan queen, a bridge between kinds, who also happens to be Luna of the blood moon pack”
I say taking a bite of food, it tasted amazing but I have to say I like my mum's pancakes the best and dad's waffles were the bomb. Nana was an amazing cook but my parents and everything they did made me feel special.
“You won’t ever lose your identity, I won’t allow it”
Dad says squeezing my hand gently, I give him a small smile then I get back to eating as everyone else planned my life out for me. All it made me want to do was get drunk
“You and me both”
Karma snaps, and we eat breakfast and go through our day like normal, I just let the parents do what they wanted, not interested in arguing when I had so much work to do and prepare for.
If I was becoming queen it means I’ll still be doing all the same work but if something goes wrong it will be on me and not on dad.
As the day went on daniel came to see me, grinning at me.
“My son is up for royal guard, I trained him myself and I think he is ready to be a team leader.”
He tells me and dad both, and I shrug my shoulders, Finn and I had always gotten along and Daniel was the most trusted staff member that we had.
“But he has a mate?”
Dad asks for me
“Yep, axel will go with him, he’s good at what he does”
“Cool, tell them both to be ready to leave in a week and I’d rather they be with me when I choose everyone else. If he’s head guard I want his input”
He grins at me
“He’s outside with them, I have selected the best of the best”
I nod, getting up and heading outside to the crowd that was slowly forming in my honour. We spend the next hour checking thoughts, the pasts and the futures Of each one of the men and woman. I hated the idea of a woman guard, other than my cousin I don’t have girlfriends for a reason so I dismissed them all.
