It Runs In The Family Book Novels & Stories

“I trust my guts, Mastermind!” “Then let`s beat him at his own game, instead.” The bell rang, lunch was over. A few weeks later, I came across this book titled “The Autocratic Family” at the storeroom. It seemed outdated but I took it anyway so I could get some knowledge about this gang and why it came about to split. The book gave me what I wanted to know; I felt like it was going to lead me to where I wanted- who killed my brother? It took me a week and a half to read a book that was as triple as large as the holy book.

" No need to thank me and that's what family is for. Family isn't always about sharing the same blood or being from the same family.

"I apologize on Nala's behalf. I'm so sorry. Please calm down. It's my fault. I didn't raise her right. If you want to slap someone, slap me." Paulene shouted back, "If I hit you, Brian would lose his mind! How did I end up marrying into this family? And you still expect me to have a baby? Not in this lifetime! I'll make sure your family name ends with me!" "What? No…" My mother sobbed louder. I pushed the door open. The noise stopped instantly. My mother stared at me, looking as if she had just been saved from drowning. She grabbed my wrist and shoved me forward.

"Shut up! It's exactly because you're our daughter that we can decide your marriage!" Miranda held my arm tightly and tried to persuade me calmly, "He's got a car, a house, and money. You'll have a comfortable life if you marry him." Carl chimed in, too. "Mr. Smith may be a bit older, but he's an honest man. You'll marry into happiness and do right by you." Even my second brother, Tony, spoke up. "That's right. Mr. Smith's not a bad man." Seeing every single family that I was related to by blood determined to sell me out, all I could feel was the chill to the bone as I shook uncontrollably.

"I just never realized it would cause such serious consequences for you!" Tears streamed down Chelsea's face as she continued, "Wyatt, I'm sorry. Won't you give me another chance? I've already gotten back at Patrick for you. "His family has been in a financial crisis these few years and only barely survived because of me. I pulled all the funds, so his family has gone bankrupt. They ended up much worse than I ever was. "Besides, Callie can't be without you either. She's been waking up crying in the middle of the night, asking for her dad. She's not doing well, and I couldn't take care of her properly, so my family sent her to boarding school—"

“Don’t get me wrong I do but I’m worried. You are always indoors. You are growing up and you need to get out there, enjoy the world.” “I’m enjoying my world.” “What is your book all about?” “Crime fiction.” “Am I supposed to know about that?” “Ah dad. Where do I even start from?” Her father looked at her. “Ok just know that it’s about the most notorious family in Zambia.” “Notorious?” “Yes. The family is the most feared in the country. No one crosses their path. Whoever does, gets killed. On top of that, they have connections everywhere. The police cannot touch them. No one touches them.”

Chapter 2- Caden I groan as I stared out the window in my father’s office. I watched pack members run back and forth as they ready themselves for The Run. I hate the idea of The Run. It’s barbaric ways of claiming a mate one I regret my ancestors to agreeing to. I want to find love like many my age, but as the next Alpha to my pack I have to take a mate this time or face losing my title and watch my power hungry cousin take it.

She shrieked and ran inside the black house; Jason wriggled out of his father's arms and followed suit, running after her. I shook my head as I looked at them. Beside me, Richard came closer and held me by the waist. "They are a handful, right?" I nodded; yes, they were a handful, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I look longingly at Richard, grateful for my family, the people around me, and the pack. This was my home; this was my pack, and I wouldn't have wanted any other. THE END (Blows nose) We have finally come to the end of this book, and I am feeling emotional. This book is my baby because it is the first work of fiction I wrote. I am grateful to everyone who has read my book and s

I never asked again. You might be wondering why we are always running. That goes way back to before Jas and I were even born. My grandmother did something that pissed off her old coven royally and she took her two daughters and ran. No one will tell Jas and I exactly what Grandma did but it's so bad that they're still after us. The coven is extremely powerful and they will kill us if they find us. Evidently that's why my Grandma left with my Aunt and Mother. They ran for a couple years before settling down right here in this very house. That's right, we're about to move in to my Aunt's and mom's childhood home. Mom and Aunt Iris grew up here. It sounded like they had a fairly good childhood

"Mom and Dad said that from now onward, the family assets would be equally split between Fable and me." "Family assets?" I smiled, amused. "Are you talking about the house they're staying in, or that car? I'm sorry, but those are all my personal assets. I'm just about to take them back now." "That's impossible! Mom, she's spouting nonsense, right?" Madeline paled, grabbing Fiona's arm in search of an answer. However, the truth was something no one could deny. "Do you really have to be this ruthless, Heidi? You're so capable—can't you just let us live in that house?" Fiona pleaded.
