We All Have Our Secrets #10
I turned snarling, “You keep trying to ruin everything for me! You better pray I work things out with Katie, or you’ll wish Emmett had sent you far away from our pack.”
Channing took over to snarl, “If you LOCKED HER UP, I’ll get you.” I took back over to scoff, “You haven’t even asked about your sister or your boyfriend.” Lisa cried, “You’re my boyfriend. Stop acting like this, Keaton! Don’t let Katie destroy us.”
My ex’s hand touched mine, slick with tears but I pulled away even though it was hard. I wanted to comfort my ex knowing rogue attacks traumatized her, I really did. Odette’s broken hearted face was in my mind though and Lisa put that look on her face.
Keith linked me, “You ok?” I looked at Lisa and shook my head in disgust. I ordered, “Tell Emmett what happened since you didn’t tell me or Keith that pack members were in danger.” Lisa gasped, “I was in shock! It was traumatizing!”
I snorted, “If I ran from a rogue and my brother was back there, I’d find someone stronger than me to get out there to save him. You’re so selfish it’s actually unfathomable. Given you just threatened Isla, maybe you were hoping she died.” Lisa gasped.
Keith acknowledged, “I could see that.” Lisa scoffed, “You hate me.” I snarled, “Don’t you dare talk to him like that!
” Emmett said, “Keaton.” Lisa asked, “How can you say that?” I answered, “Maybe because you’re a terrible sister who has your siblings thinking you’d kill them in their sleep.
Then there were rogues here and you didn’t say anything. ”
Lisa cried and reached for me, but I backed up.
I announced, “I’m leaving.” I got in my truck and linked May, “How is Katie?” May answered, “She’s very overwhelmed.
Katie managed to fight the rogues off. Isla is going to have to be out of school since Katie saw her get wounded.
We will need to do fake bandages. I’m sure Isla’s already healed. ”
I asked, “Can I come see her?” May replied, “Katie’s asleep so Immy is going to stay with her. I’m coming to check on Isla and Justin. Call your mate and leave a message.” Channing paced, “We need to make sure mate is safe.”
I took out my phone and dialed. I wasn’t shocked when it went to voicemail given May’s words but I’d been hoping to get Odette. I quickly said, “Odette, please call me back. I’m not going to abandon you, not now or ever. I will fight for you, Lisa is my past. A past I don’t even like, really.”
“I thought she was hurt when she ran into the gym sobbing. As I said, I did care that you weren’t there and was trying to find you.
Keith and I were the last ones out of the shower.
I had just gotten into the gym. You think our relationship is fast, but it’s not. It’s everything natural in the world.”
“Please, my Song. I need you, not Lisa. I don’t want her in any way, shape or form.
My ex was just incoherently upset. I was trying to comfort her and figure out what was going on.
I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry that you needed me and I wasn’t there.
Please Odette, call me back.” I hung up and got to the pack lands.
I slammed my truck in park. Mom flashed out, “Thank god you’re ok.
Your shirt is wet.” I ripped it off. I asked, “How are Isla and Justin?” Mom answered, “Justin is healed. The rogues took him out first. He said he didn’t smell them coming.
Isla is about to come around, and her wounds are healed.
I don’t even need to call Haley to heal them. ” I nodded.
Keith and Emmett pulled up next. When they got out of their SUV I growled, “Were the rogues caught?” Emmett shook his head, “No, but I’ve got their scent. I’m going to put a team of Warriors together.” I growled, “I’m going.” Channing shouted, “FINALLY! SOMEONE TO KILL!”
Emmett nodded. Keith chimed in, “Count me in.” Finn called, “It’s so embarrassing that all of you keep asking me to join the team.
Finn is IN!” I snorted, “What are you doing here?” Finn tapped my nose, “Look at little Keaton all grown up. Damn, you filled out. I’m going to have to hit the weights.
You’re making me look bad, little dude. Just kidding, your sister loves my form. ”
Finn winked adding, “As for why I’m here, your sister was worried. The schools in the area are already talking about canceling sports until this is handled. We can’t have kiddos coming into the area and being attacked.” Honestly, I wouldn’t be that upset if basketball was cancelled at this point.
Finn continued, “I can’t have Emma being worried and upset. So, I got us a Fairy ride to you all, and POP here we are. Now, I have this pent up energy that will go into hunting down these rogues. They upset my mate, and I had to be serious. It was awful, little Keaton. Truly and utterly awful.”
Finn whispered, “Jay Jay was worried. I can’t have him being worried. He doesn’t give into his fun side enough as it is.” I rolled my eyes, “Whatever. Let’s go.” Several Warriors had joined us. I shifted and waited for them to follow suit. I was going to tear these rogues to pieces.
