I pulled into the driveway and watched Ternen and Alannah park. Rick took off to grab his wife and daughter and said he would be here in five minutes. I got out as my mom walked out and we waited in the drive while the two got out of the car.

I snapped a barrier around us and waited for the pair to join us next to my car before I asked my mom. “How did you know I

needed an excuse to get them to come over?”

My–mom chuckled. “Nix is smarter than you give her credit for. She came to tell me when you all were at lunch, but I waited a bit when I knew I could maximize the effect.” I turned to her. But before I could say anything, she turned to Alannah and Ternen. “Hi. I’m Ainsley, Amy’s mom. You must be Alannah and Ternen.”

They nodded. “We are.” Alannah bowed, but my mom stopped her.

“Sweet girl. I haven’t been a luna for years now, and even when I was, absolutely no one had to bow to me.”

Alannah straightened and looked between my mom and me. “Our luna demands it.”

My mom scoffed. “That’s because she is an insecure, chosen replacement. And the only reason she is luna is because she got pregnant with Brandon and ran. She came back once Brandon was a pup and Vince couldn’t lie to his father any longer.”

We all dropped our mouths open. “Seriously?” I looked at my mom.

She nodded. “Vince was looking for an alpha female to marry, but then our beloved luna, who was actually a low ranked gamma, showed up with a pup in her arms. The alpha made them mate.” My mom looked at her nails. “He’s only kept her around because

she doesn’t care about the cheating or his plotting ”

“Is there a reason we are waiting out here?” Ternen looked around, slightly confused.

My mom smiled. “I’m waiting for Rick and his family. And Amy here has made it impossible for anyone to overhear us out here.

But inside unless we are in her room.” My mom turned to me. “Are you planning on bringing them to the cabin?” His gaze was

sharp.

“Yeah.” I nodded. “I know we won’t have the space for everyone. But we have the bathrooms to support everyone, thankfully.”

“Plus, camping would be fun for a young girl who has never been allowed to do anything.” She finished.

“Hopefully. And I’m hoping her and my girl get along ” I smiled as I heard another car pull up. “We will have to make lists of

everything we need.” My mom nodded.

“We will also need extra supplies…” My mom looked at me.

I bit my lip. This would be too much to slip through my closet. Then I remembered the tunnel to dad’s pack house. “I have an idea.” But I turned to see Rick, his mate, and his daughter coming up the driveway. “Hey Rick.” I waved and walked down. “This must be Shelly,” I held out my hand, and she smiled, but I could see the shadow in her eyes.

“That’s me.” She shook my hand and then turned to her daughter. “This is Abby.” I looked down at the little girl with dull red

hair. She had dark circled under her eyes and a missing tooth right up front.

I dropped down to her level and stuck out a hand. “Hi Abby, I’m Amy.” She smiled and shook my hand.
