Chapter 15 | Let's Do This

Magnolia

The anxious pit in my stomach won’t go away. I lie in my bed staring at the ceiling knowing that soon I’ll need to get up and get ready. The Black Night Pack will be here before we know it and I need to be the best host I can be.

Even though I am not the Alpha yet, it’s still my duty because they’re coming here to talk to me. To make some type of alliance with me. Beatrix Black is not her father and I cannot and will not judge her over the heinous acts that her father committed.

I breathe out and hear a light knock on the door. I turn towards the door to see my mom peek her head through. She smiles softly at me and asks, “How are you feeling, pumpkin?”

I say, “Uneasy, I don’t know what to expect.”

She walks in, closing the door behind her and joining me on the bed and says, “You’re not the only one, kid. Your dad is anxious about Xavier being here. We all know the kind of man he is and the things he’s done. It’s hard not to attack when it seems like their guard will be down.
