“Is this necessary?” I grumbled to my mother.

In return I earned a light thwack on the back of my head. “You are going before her family!” My mother barked at me. “After all you’ve done you will want to look good,” She muttered but there was no doubt she wanted me to hear it. She began snipping at the elft over hairs she wanted in place and trimmed.

“If I had known someone may or may not be coming for her I would have bound with her before we ever left Georgia,” I tried to defend my actions, but this was my mother.

“Oh!” she began chuckling to herself. “And I’m sure you would have been so affectionate then too,”

“Mom,” I sighed, rubbing my eyes.

“Stop that,” She ordered, “I’m cutting your hair darling don’t move like that,” she laughed at me.

“Annette thinks her family will kill me,” I told my mom. I knew she wasn’t happy with what I had done but she still would support me through this.

Again my mother gave her deep chuckle. “Well I think she will be more than satisfied with how you perform,” She stepped in front of me inspecting my hair. “You are going to be just finel know it,” She state matter of factly.

“When do they arrive?” I asked her, thinking of them made me feel like a child before his principles office.

“They’ll be here by dinner, they actually will fly,”

“Why fly when I can drive?” I raised an eyebrow at her. She knew I didn’t see the point in wasting thousands of

dollars.

“It’s quicker, comfier, and you might not be in so much trouble if you had flown with her instead,” she teased me

again.

“Thank you so much mother and I was worried you were going to hold it against me,” I sarcastically reminded her she

was my mom.

You worry

all you want you made the choice but I think I’ve annoyed you enough for today,” She grabbed a mirror and placed it in front of me. “Do you like it?”

I looked more groomed then I preferred but I was going to be bound in four days. “It looks good, thank you mama,” 1 stood and k*ssed her cheek she had turned to me. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Go wash up,” she patted my back “And trim your beard!” She called after me.

“Okay!”

I went into my shower that wasn’t really my shower. I will admit not being a gentleman enough to give Annette the master was a dick move. I just built that room for me and my wife. Her being in there made it all so real.

Wow she slept in our room all alone. I locked my door each night to Bergpmyself from going in there and pulling her ime.Illhat caused enough damage, I didn’t need to do more by confusinger physically.

I was worried aboutthelbinding. All could do was prepare for the rest of it, I was excited for our wolvestio meet though, when she had come into the house after going for a run Enzo had sensed her wolf Seraphing..

I got out of the shower preparing myselfftortle next few hours. It was more than physical. I had to get intothe mindset that everything wassomthelline.didn’t it would seem impossible to overcome an obstacle like this..

“Good luck,” She called after me.

So Free farth my mate..

I knew she had seen more of her brother fighting than she had seen of me. The only time she had seen me fight was winem 3 spared with James, She wasn’t to happy with me for going too hard on him, hopefully this time around she will realike I have no choice.

“Granom..how are you not exhausted,” Leon panted as I entered the training house.

Simple. Tut weak,” I flashed a grin at my Gamma.

“Poor Ammenite having to put up with you forever,” He growled at my back as I headed towards the ring where Matt and Briar warhet.

“You’ll pay for that,” threatened not turning back to look at the fear on his face..

I stretched for a second then wrapped my hands and taped up my shoulders.. I didn’t want to be injured fighting those boys.

“Out of the ring Mam called once I was ready.

I entered with Matt and Brian. It was hard ut first with just these two Brian is fast, and Matt he fights dinny

braced myself for everything they had. The difference is that these two men would never actually try and hill me. Annette’s brothers not only wanted me dead they wanted me to feel pain before I met the goddess.

I took on the two men

Leon and Aarron were a little easier. Leon always tries to fake out he wasn’t as successful with the tactic as he’d like

Eventually, I felt him try and take me down aber Leon lay unconscious. I grabbed his hands and leaned my weighin him and ran him backward, Them all i modik was a couple of harder hits to his stomach before he threw up and

conceded.

Then all four at once. Every time I fought it fit like climbing a mountain. I was already out of breath and felt am Still, I moved on and pushed my way out of their grasps and claws figuring out how to finish this fight after ages..

By the time we had finished for the day my muscles were beyond dead. They felt numb but I had to keep moving.

I looked over and there she was a frightfall hatt espised look on her face. Her face should only ever smile.

“My family is one hour out, are you okay to meet them” the up at me so sweetly.

“No, I think we should go home and go to bed leaning the rest of the world to themselves.”

“I’ll go shower,” I nod to her and start walking home.

“I saw the training…you should rest.” She called for me.

“I’m not even tired.” I called back. It was a lie but she shouldn’t worry over this. I would win come hell or high water

When I finally got below the water of my shower again, I made it cold this time. I wanted fice the fire in my b*dy, the collapse of my arms and legs that was inevitable.

I got dressed in a black button–up and the nicest jeans I had. This was my land I would at least be somewhat comfortable.

I exited my room to be greeted with her face yet again. She didn’t see me though. She was putting an earring in and heading to the stairs.

A flowy soft red dress was on her. Her hair was braided except for the ones she always let frame her face just to test my will. The worst part was the n*ecklace that went to where I couldnt let myself go. She had golden chains banging from her n*eck, on her wrists, one or two in her hair.

“The goddess chooses to torment me in new ways with you.

I walked after her, pulled forward by the need to put my hands on her waist and lean my head down to the crook of her n*eck to…..

“There was a way of things though and I had made my touch of her the last step.”

Annette,

She spun and I kept the breath in me so it wouldnt be knocked out.

“Oh you look good!” She grabbed my forearm and dragged me down the stairs.

“I recommend a bit more humility than you normally give off. It might help the whole situation, goddess knows we need all the help we can get.” She rambled as we exited our home.

“Annette I won’t put on a face. These are my lands I will be who I am here.” I took my arm from her. They have to

respect me for me.”

She shifted herself and started walking again. “Goddess help us,”

“So worried for me after all I have done? I have been treated the way I treated you and 1 barchy came out alive but you. you find grace for me.

We went to the main grounds in front of a large crowd. My mother came over to fuss about my appearance and to

remind me to behave.

I swear they work together

I stood in between the two women who had more power over me than the goddess herself. I waited for my jury to

arrive.

A black SUV came into view. It circled around the fountain and stopped just before us. Out stepped Luna Eva with the

4.5

biggest smile.

“Oh, my pup,” she swept forward for her daughter, and Annette shrieked in excitement.

“Alpha Grayson,” I looked over. Her father walked to me with a darkness to him that would scare the average wolf.

“Alpha Jonathan,” I shook his hand and felt my hand constrict under his grasp.

“This will be interesting won’t it?”
