--Warrick-- Shit. Why the hell did Vanessa decide to target, Divina?  As far as I could tell, Divina, hadn’t done anything to her.  If she tells her dad that I got in her face, I won’t hear the end of it from my dad.  Vanessa’s dad is the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack and our dads are best friends which, is why they were hoping that we were mates.  I have always just tolerated Vanessa for the sake of my dad, but the last few years she has become possessive of me. It doesn’t help that we have had a casual sexual relationship since we were 17.  Well, casual for me, I am beginning to think it isn’t so causal for her even though I set those ground rules the first time she came on to me. I don’t like to sleep around, and she was familiar and not a bad lay, but it was never anything more than casual sex for me.  Plus, no other she-wolves really ever approach me, and I am beginning to wonder if it is more because of Vanessa and not my don’t give

  “Hey, Rima.” I call cheerfully, when I walk in the door from my first day of school and see her heading up the stairs.  She stops on the steps and turns to look at me.   “Hey, honey, how was school?” She asks with a smile.   “Good. How was work today?”   She smiles and I am surprised that she actually sounds like she means what she says.  “It was great!  Alpha Zane showed me around and I met my team.”   “That’s awesome!  I am so glad your day was good. When will I get to meet my uncle?” I ask.   “At dinner, I believe.  The pack is throwing a dinner party to welcome their Alpha and Luna home.” Luna? There’s another unfamiliar word.  "Rima, what's a Luna?"   "She is the mate of the Alpha and helps him lead the pack." she says matter of factly.   "Oh, makes sense. I will see you at dinner then.”  I say and head towards the stairs. &nbs

Just as I felt like I couldn’t take anymore a blue light burst from me and then settle around me and through me, washing away the pain, leaving me feeling raw and strangely at peace.  I felt the pack link click into place and could hear and feel my pack around me.  I grab my head getting blood in my hair and ask, “Is it always this loud and emotional?”  Mom, steps forward and places her hands over mine and speaks to me through the pack link effectively shutting everyone else out.  Rima: ‘We should have prepared you better for this.  It’s my fault.  I was too wrapped up in my own turmoil to prepare you. Please forgive me.’  I nod my head at her and

Warrick: 'Like what you see?'  Divina: 'Can you be serious for a moment?'  I cover my embarrassment with annoyance.  Divina: 'Can I finish what I was saying before you rudely interrupted me?'  He pulls a hand out from behind his head and

--Divina--  Today I am on my own to get ready and I try to copy the look that Bren and Gloria gave me the day before.  I get close and shrug my shoulders. Eh, looks better than my usual straight hair, minimal make up, and jeans and a t-shirt look.    Today, I decided to wear a black and white plaid, mid-thigh skirt with a black sweater crop top and a white collared shirt peaking out the top.  I grab the same little black ankle boots I wore yesterday to complete the outfit.
