“You met a mon” “I repeated and the nodded happily, clicked tubing my head in amusement
1 hadn’t expected that response from her considering the wwe will manning her dat, for then again, it might just be the perfect distraction to get her mind off i
“He’s Mr Thane’s friend She announced, my face scrunching in confusion
“Ryker?” I púessed wardly and she grimaced, like she heard the most alnund
“No Rory. There’s no need to be so mysterious if it were him don’t you think?” she asked sarcastically and I found myself nodding in agreement
Then who is it because Ryker is probably his only friend I know.” I said eagerly
“His name’s Derek.” She began with a bubbly look. Derek? I’ve never heard the name before
“He saved me from being attacked.” She confessed, catching my attention
“Attacked: You were attacked?” 1 badgered in panic, scanning her body for any signs of bruises.
“I’m fine. Rory” She reassured with a smile on her face.
“How did it happen! When and where did it happened?” I asked in a breath
“Which do I answer now, Rory?” She said playfully, rolling her eyes. “It happened on my way back home after I left the hospital that night, but thankful he intervened before anything bad could happened” She explained.
Her words made me feel guilty. She wouldn’t have been attacked if Kaiden hadn’t forced her to leave.
“You need to be more careful now, Rory.” She said in a concerned tone.
“Why The confusion was clear in my voice.
“Those men were after you, Rory She announced, my frowning deepening. “The mistook me for you.” She clarified.
“Okay, I’m lost, why are the after me?” I asked, my mind frenzy
“I don’t know, Hory: All I know is that it’s connected to Kaiden.” She declared.
Her words made me feel uneasy. What was it about Kaiden that makes people want to hurt me because of him? Am I missing something?
“The hospital finally allowed me see my dad’s corpse, and it’s all thanks to you.” She muttered in a chirpy voice, stirring away
from the conversation
I gave her a small smile in response but my mind was else where, particularly drifting to her revelation, Kaiden was a good

person, wasn’t he?
“Are you even listening to me?” Layla called out, drawing out of my thoughts,
I turned my attention back on her, giving her a sheepish grin as 1 shook my head in response to her question.

“What were you even thinking about?!” She exclaimed in annoyance, “I said the funeral service would be next Friday She informed and I nodded.
“Have you informed your mom?” I asked curiously.
“There’s no point. She’s would probably be too busy with her other family to show up.” She said coldly, gnashing her teeth. Layla’s parents got divorced and her mother remarried, leaving her with her dad.
“I still think you should tell her.” I persists calmly but the look on her face told me she wouldn’t be taking my advice.
“Still can’t believe he’s gone.” She whispered, her voice coming out squeaky.
“So tell me about your crush?” I asked with a cheeky grin aimed at taking her mind away off her father’s death.
She scowled at me before responding, “He’s good looking with his dazzling grey eyes” She mumbled with a dreamy look.
I laughed, “Please tell me you didn’t drool all over him?”
She gasped dramatically, her eyes glimmering in mischief. “How did you know? I can’t wait to fuck him.” She purred.
“Okay, you’re crazy.” I groaned with a chuckle..
“Shut up. I’ve been sex starved, Okay?” She defended quickly.

“I’m not judging.” I informed, my lips curling in a smile as I raised my hands up.
“I think he likes me too. I mean he asked for my number and he’s surprisingly nice. She confessed, bobbing her head. I sat quietly listening to her and nodding my head to every word she said as my mind slowly drified away.
Ariel Pow
my name from the hall, causing my hand to freeze on my door knob. I turned around, my eyes crinkling in
“Ariel” I heard my confusion.
“Dad, What are you doing here?” 1 asked with clear surprise. My father didn’t live in the pack house and mostly came visiting.
“Can’t I check on my own daughter?” He asked feigning anger, strolling to me.
“You always inform me of your visits before coming.” I argued
He chuckled, his face wrinkling up. “I just wanted to surprise my own daughter but you don’t seem pleased to see me.” He muttered in a gloomy voice.
“What exactly brought you here, Dad?” I asked in a serious tone, resisting the urge to roll my eyes.
“Let’s talk inside.” He commanded, pushing past me and walking inside my room.
I stared him with an unimpressed look, breathing sharply as I followed him inside, shutting the doors behind me.

“You seem to have been rather very busy, Ariel He commented, his eyes boring holes on my body
“Yes I have responded in agreement What I didn’t tell him was what I was busy with. He would probably flipped if he knew I was busy get fus kes by Ryker.
La
“I see” He drawled out, “So busy you’ve forgotten your plan to become Luna?” He pressed in a grim expression
“Of course not!” 1 demed sharply and he narrowed his eyes, obviously not believing me
“Ive been working towards it.” Ladded in reassurance. Though I was sleeping with Ryker, I still wanted Kailen. It probably sounded insane but yes, I was insane.
“What exactly have you achieved huh?” He snapped in a mockery.
“I said I’m working on it, dad!” I retorted angrily, my nose flaring
“You will not speak to me like that, Ariel. I’m your father!” He roared, rising to his feet as though to show dominance.
1 nibbled on my lower lips, dropping my eyes down. He exhaled sharply, taking my silence for obedience and dropping back to his chair.
“What exactly have you been doing?” He persisted, in a more calmer tone, trying to read through me.
“It wasn’t the right time to strike yet.” I said smoothly ignoring his words, “But it is now.” I declared.
“What do you need me to do?” He said eagerly and I smiled cruelly.
“Insist on holding a meeting next week. I’ll take care of the rest.” I said with a smug smile.
