Blair
“You want me to walk Kade to school?”
“Please don’t talk with your mouth full.” Mum scolds me. “But yes.”
“Isn’t the school like two hundred feet from here. You could watch him from the window.”
“I could, but the entrance is around the other side.”
“I’m not allowed to leave the house unless I’m being watched.”
“Maddie has agreed to watch you from afar. All you have to do is walk him there, make sure he goes inside and come straight back. I would but Braelyn has been awake most of the night. I need to get her to settle.”
I look at my little sister, clinging to mum as she lets out little whimpers. Last night was about the only night I wished I could leave the house.
“Okay.” I agree, only so I can try and find out what is going on with the little brat.
“Thank you.”
Kade stares at me as he pulls his bag onto his back and even without my Lycan I can see that he hates the idea.
“I’m not a baby.” He snarls at me
“Then maybe you should tell mum, because she asked me to walk you.”
“Only because my stupid sister was up all night.”
“HEY!” I snap at him and he actually seems surprised. “Braelyn is a baby. She cannot tell anyone what is hurting or if she wants something. Maybe you will realise one day that we all have bad days, no matter how old we are.”
“Whatever.”
We leave the house and immediately he kicks over one of mum’s plants. Stamping it into the ground.
“You say you are not a baby but you are certainly acting like one.”
“Fuck off!” He glares at me and even I’m shocked. He turns eight tomorrow, not eighteen..
“Are you serious right now?” I fold my arms across my chest and he copies me.
“I’m not scared of you. Maybe you should be scared of me. Now that you haven’t got your Lycan.”
I grab hold of his shirt collar and drag him back to the house. He tries to punch me and kick me, but I’m intelligent enough to keep him at arms length.
Pushing open the front door, Calihan stares at me with wide eyes.
“Where’s mum?”
“Her bedroom.” his blue eyes move to Kade and then past us. “Dad is going to be so mad.”
Looking over my shoulder I see Ryken marching towards us. A deep frown on his face as his hands ball into fists. Calihan disappears while Kade tries to get out of my grip.
“Care to tell me what’s happening?” Ryken demands
“She hit me!” Kade pulls himself free of my grip or maybe I let him go at the shock of his response. I wasn’t really sure.
Ryken’s eyes narrow to slits as he stares at me. “Basement.”
“You don’t….”
“Basement.” He repeats. His tone deep. I nod and turn away, just to hear him tell Kade to go to his room.
“But dad…..”
“I said bedroom, now.”
I don’t hear anything else as I slip through the door leading down to my room.
Sitting on my bed, I keep my eyes locked on the door at the top of the stairs. Waiting for Rykens inevitable appearance. Kade was going to be the reason everything goes tits up for me. Not unless I can prove otherwise.
My leg jigs on its own, like I have no control over it. It moves faster than the beat of my heart as a drop of sweat makes its way down my spine.
There’s a knock on the door.
“Come in.” I whisper
Ryken appears, the floorboards creaking below his feet. He steadily plods down the stairs and lets out a heavy sigh as he reaches the bottom.

Next chapter??? Must know what happens!!...
These new chapters ate shorter than paragraphs. Makes reading this story quite annoying at the moment...
So... after 546 now what? I know this cannot just be the end of the story? So when is there a new chapter? I've literally read this in 4 days!...
Hi, I’m usually a silent reader, and first of all, I love the story, but is it possible to avoid the blue texts? Cuz a lot of us are missing a lot of the story due to the texts not loading. I am missing a lot no matter have many times I try to reload. If not, that’s okay as well. Thank you for the amazing entertainment and content...
Loving this story! Can’t wait for you to add more 😁...
Is it just me or are the blue text not loading and every other time I try the captcha it pops up a new tab? Other than that live the story...
I love this book!!!...

I love the way you are continuing the story. It's easy to follow, easy to pause, and easy to get back on track with. Me having three little children, it's hard to find "me time" but when I do I get caught up with this book. I love it!!!!...
