Chapter 0151
''I forget that you and Kaley are cousins. That''s so weird to process. Hold that thought though, I
need to shower and I assume you are my escort to school? Give me ten minutes.
"Here, Luna Ava wanted me to bring you this and said ''corne home as soon as you''re ready.'' She
probably figures you don''t have anything left here. He holds out a bag I didn''t even notice before.
She''s not wrong. My hasty escape to my childhood prison did not involve bringing supplies, like a
change of clothes.
I take the bag and just nod my head before running up the stairs two at a time. I am done in record
time and had tough at what Luna Ava packed. She knew who I would forgive or at least talk to
first and who I would need more convincing to give another chance. She must have alsoe into
my room and taken everything else I had so I had no choice but to wear what she packed me.
Although, there is no other scent but mine. Sneaky, meddling woman. I''ll have to ask her about that.
At least she packed me my own underwear, bra and jeans, but she gave me Oliver''s tank top, a t-
shirt of Kota''s and Cam''s sweatshirt. And they all smell like they had worn them just before she
packed them. I roll my eyes while I roll up the sleeves on the sweatshirt and head outside. I had to
tuck the hem of the shirt into my pants too since it goes all the way to my knees, this takes the
fashion term ''oversized'' way too far. I give Sam a serious look
"Hey, don''t shoot the messenger. You will notice your brother and I didn''t contribute to the cause."
He waves up and down my outfit.
"That doesn ''t mean you didn''t help with the removal of my other options." I say as we start heading
toward the school, clearly neither of us are in a hurry to get there, we''re alreadyte, I''m so far
ahead in my sses the teachers stopped caring when Ie and go. They also probably notice
there are less incidents with Kaley when I''m not there. And he''s the future Delta, primary schooling
is just a formality. He hands me a gran bar and water bottle, and I just roll my eyes andugh. He
and Mateo are taking the malnutrition diagnosis to heart. What they don''t know, is I''ve gone longer
on less food. But that is not something I am going to tell them after all of this crap.
''[so while we are talking about being your escort..."
"How did you make that jump from Luna Ava''s choice of my outfit?"
"Don''t change the subject! You are still going to the ball with us right? You can''t go alone, none of us
can, it''s not safe for so many reasons." Heughs darkly. Plus now that you have been officially
recruited by the Alpha King you may not get to go to another one."

"I guess, this is just a lot. With everything else going on, the Mating Ball just seems stupid,
especially for me. I''m only fifteen, still super awkward around anyone who isn''t you guys and Sierra
and I can''t dance. I can''t even find my mate for three more years.
Our elders arezy and it seems like many of them are just using the ball to try and force chosen
mates to heighten status or as political strategy to connect packs. I wouldn''t want to be in any of
your positions, at all, basically paraded around like cattle at an auction.
"You''re no different really, are you?" He looks at me sideways
"What do you mean?"
"They way your dad talks, that''s basically what you
are being paraded around for too. So a guy can level up his rank or you can get chosen by an Alpha
or, I guess now, some higher rank from the Alpha King''s guys since you clearly have ALL of their
attention now." He wiggles his eyebrows at me. I roll my eyes back at him.
"I guess I never really saw myself in that position before, my brother is the Beta, not me. I''m just a
warrior. It''s all I have ever wanted to be, it''s all I''m good at."
"You have never been just a warrior, but that is why you need to stick with us and maybe give us a
little ck when we have a less than pleasant reaction to other guys around you. You honestly have
no idea how others see you and that is great, because your ego will never be your downfall. But, it''s
also dangerous because it makes it too easy for someone to take advantage of you. And yes
jealousy is a part of that, but none of the other guys will ever admit that to your face."
He gives me a sheepish grin and I giggle a realugh for the first time in days.
