+5 Pearls

The drive home was proving to be an awkward one. Morgan, thankfully, had not been sick again but had done nothing but moan loudly the whole time we had been in the car, and I had to listen. to my Mum talking to her like she was a little baby. Reassuring her she would be okay, because Morgan was truly acting like she was dying. Jeez, it was self-inflicted, and it isn’t like most people don’t experience it at some point in their life. She had drunk too much. That was all. Yet here she was acting like she was at death’s door, facing her demise.

Goddess help her tomorrow morning when she wakes up with a raging headache if she thinks this feeling is bad! The way she will feel with a hangover will feel like death itself… I will have to make sure I am out of her way, because I don’t think I could tolerate that. I am trained to deal with kids, but a poorly Morgan, sheesh, she is on a whole other level. A true nightmare.

But my Mum coddling my sister was almost bearable when compared to the atmosphere. between my Dad and my brother. That tension could be cut with a knife. It was so tight. It was a good thing my Dad was driving, or they would likely be physically fighting by now. The insults. being thrown back and forth were ridiculous. Anyone would think they hated one another. But, in truth, they were actually quite close. That is just what they do when they disagree on something. Unfortunately, that seemed to happen quite often. Something I had become. accustomed to over the years, but it still didn’t make it any easier when you got caught in the middle of it with no means of escape.

After Dad had criticized his abilities as an upcoming Beta, Jordan now seemed to think it was his place to disagree with our Dad on everything. From his opinions on work decisions to training sessions. Jordan seemed to think all of a sudden he was an expert on anything and everything. and he was ensuring my Dad knew about it. Including the fact he didn’t think introducing me to the former Alpha was appropriate when I am a minor pack member, though why it was anything to do with him, I do not know.

“So why did you think she needed to be speaking to senior members of another pack?” Jordan had decided to continue this argument, and is giving Dad a dirty look. “She is not of importance within our pack. Alpha Marshall has not asked for her to speak with them. She is not a representative of our pack.”

“Have I not explained this? And besides, it is nothing to do with you.”

“If you are going behind the back of our senior pack members it would be.” Jordan argues, and I am shocked he would report his own Dad, because that is certainly what it sounded like he was implying.

“I will be speaking to them. Do not worry your pretty little head, Jordan. It will explode if you put too many thoughts in there.” Dad says sarcastically, and while I hold back a smile, I can see the anger upon my brother’s face. He doesn’t like it when Dad patronizes him, but he likely deserves. that for undermining Dad, and for all the insults he has thrown at him previously.

“So, why was she speaking to them?” Jordan’s voice was demanding now, like he felt he had a right. to know what was happening.

“For f**ks sake Jordan, have I not told you, this is none of your business?” Dad snaps, as we approach the pack gates.
