Joey Badass Raising Kanan Novels & Stories

Her tears immediately dry, and she beams up at her papa, then races back outside to terrorize her cousins. “Why do you rile them up so early in the morning?” I ask my mate as I rise and begin gathering platters to take outside. Maddox shrugs, his expression dripping with feline amusement. “I love watching Kenna give Ryan and Syd what they've been asking for. They taunt her constantly.” “Well, one day she might actually snap. You shouldn’t forget what she… is.” His eyes meet mine in understanding, but there’s no concern in his expression. “Who knows, maybe the twins will start showing some hints of power like Isaac and Ella did at this age?”

Jasmine could feel her face flushing as finn looked at a book that basically told him her dreams. “Jacob, your dad doesn’t want to look at that,” she said as she tried to grab the book again. “You do, don’t you?” Jacob said as he looked up at Finn. “Of course I do,” he said. He’d agree with anything Jacob asked. The kid could probably get a brand new motorcycle from him if he just asked. She’d have to talk about that with him. Instead of arguing, she sat back and glared at Finn as he gave her a look with his brows raised.

Unax offers me, along with his pool cue. Jo and Ian have gotten into a conversation to get to know each other better, and yes, playing is the only thing that makes me not feel left out. I grab the cue and lean over the table attacking the balls. I hear him complaining, and I feel like they're overshadowing me on the table; as I get up, I encounter Ashton's chest. "Are you going to be messing around?"

Karen and Tres’s father shook hands and exchanged pleasantries. “Sup, James?” said Joey with a smirk. He punched his shoulder playfully. “Same old, same old. Missed you, bro.” Joey nodded. “Me too. So, you’re Tres?” the boy mistakenly asked Matt. Tres’s brother shook his head. “No, I’m actually cool. Four-eyes there is Tres.” “Shut up!” snapped Tres before turning to Joey. “How’s the tablet?” “Awesome,” the boy said, his eyes gazing far off into some unknown distance. “Thank you, for real.”

"Many years ago, two boys were born—Alpha Jethro and Rogan. Alpha Jethro, my father, ruled because he was the eldest and the only person who had a heart for the people. But Rogan was always the jealous younger brother who was bitter and resentful about all my father had. Since he could not be king, he grew up to be a bitter man who took out his hatred and insecurities on his family, on his fated mate, and his son, Kane. “My father, Alpha Jethro, tried to help Rogan by offering him a place as Beta in the pack. But Rogan betrayed us, he planted evidence to frame my father as a ruthless, greedy butcher of people. So I had turned to the one and only person I ever trusted like a brother—Kane. But

People were slowly making their way back to the truck for a break. Joey was busy picking out clothes for the others getting ready to shoot, while Cinna, holding a cup of hot tea, strolled over. "Thanks to your cousin, we all get to enjoy piping hot water." Kenneth, peeking through the gaps between clothes, subtly watched Joey. His eyes hinted at some emotional turmoil, but he chose to keep it to himself. He overheard Joey saying, "If I mess up next time, director, go easy on the scolding, okay?"

But he understood when Jay added, "When you compare me to any person that plays sports, I'm pretty much a loser. It doesn't help that I'm apart of the debate team and robotics club." Kane settled his glass onto a counter, shrugging his shoulders, "I think you're pretty cool." "Thanks," Jay genuinely smiled, "I don't hear that often." Suddenly, the door barged open and when they turned, Kane met the dark brown eyes of his sister. "We're leaving," she said, leaning against the door, "we're all getting tired and it's pretty late." Kane heard shuffling on the other side of him, and when he glanced towards Jay, he noticed him back away a few steps, stressfully keeping his eyes locked towards the

When the rest of the gang realizes who I am, they all stand to gather around me, firing off questions faster than I can process them much less answer. I hold up my hands to silence them all. "Guys." They're still talking and not listening. "Guys!" I raise my voice sharply to get their attention. Suddenly, they meet my eyes. "Stop, okay? I'll tell you what I know, but it's not much at this point." "You guys have been here for hours, how can they not know anything?" Joey's voice strains with emotion threatening to let loose. He lost his older brother, Jeremy, and Moby is his best friend. He will be the hardest to keep calm.

“And because I know what it means to fight for a child. But this isn’t a fight—it’s a trap. A punishment. A slow death.” His shoulders slumped. The proud, angry man from moments ago had melted into something smaller. Something sadder. “I didn’t even know Joey was capable of this,” he whispered. “You’re not winning, Kane. She’s not your savior. She’s poison.” “I already did terrible things,” he said, like a confession he’d been holding for years. “You can still stop,” I said. “You can let Jordan go. You can give yourself one small piece of redemption. Just one.”

Kai scolded. I lowered my head in shame. “Then how?” I asked. “Kane’s power works in mysterious ways, no one knows exactly how it works, sometimes it even surprises Kane,” “He’s one of the most powerful chieftains to walk these lands,” Kai explains. “The goddess chose Kane for a reason, and I will follow my brother to death and back,” Kai said. I nodded my head as I listened to Kai as he tried to explain this to me. “I don’t know how he skipped the mating rituals, All I Know is
