I watched as we were driving away to go park 13

“Oh, that was definitely a mistake.” she says with a chuckle. The tea kettle starts to whistle, and she gets up and busies
herself getting the tea for us.
CAMRON: “I found that out the hard way.” I tell her. “My grand pup takes Aikido.” She tells me. I take a sip of the tea,
“Mmm this is good, not to sweet, just enough to balance the chi.” She just smiles “Well now that all makes sense. Well,
she threw her head backwards and I was just quick enough to move my head and rase her slightly, so she only connected
with my eye, instead of my nose, then she elbowed me in the ribs, and then dropped all her weight to her feet. I dropped
her, she spun around and immediately took a defensive stance.” I just chuckle remembering it now. “She is a Brookes.”
She says to me. “I have a question for you though.” “What is it.” “She spoke to your wolf why is that?” “She was just
being polite, after the confrontation at the food table, I spoke with Alpha Drake, got ice for my eye, and then went to go
find her again to apologize to her, I asked her to dance, she did accept, but she wouldn’t look me in the eye.” “She knows
not to disrespect her elders or her betters.” She tells me. I smile at her. “So, Cercus spoke to her, to let her know that she
was not disrespecting us.” I told her. She just smiled at the story. “I can see why she left it out of her narration to me.”
She says, “I quite enjoyed that story, sorry that you were hurt, but now you know not to sneak up on her.” She chuckles
at me. I finished my tea. “Thank you for the tea, but I must be going now, I have a several hours’ drive to get back to my
pack.” “Thank you for the story, I will see you out.”
CHASE: “May I ask why you have an obstacle course in your back yard?” “Of course, I am training Keska and Mackie how
to take down a Lycan.” She says unexpectedly like it’s no big deal. “Wait, you are that, Brookes?” he asked like he was
enamored. “Yes, young man I am that Brookes, but sshh, don’t tell anyone.” She chuckles at him.
CAMRON: She escorts us to the front door and sees us out. “Alpha, do you know who we just spent the last hour with?” He asked me as we were heading out of the pack gates “Alpha Drake’s mother-in-law? Who?” “No, well yes but, the,
Brookes are the only werewolves that the royal Lycans have on their royal guard, because her grandfather killed a rouge
Lycan, all by himself, that’s almost impossible, for a wolf to kill a Lycan.” He said very animatedly. Interesting, as she said
that she was training Keska and Mackie, not James, or the rest of the family, makes me wonder if there is more going on.
******************************************************************************
KESKA: Finaly the last bell of the day. I headed down to my locker, to switch out my books and headed over to Mackie’s
locker. “I am looking forward to getting on that obstacle course and taking my frustrations out on it.” I say to her. “I am
curious to know what Alpha Camron told your Nana.” She tells me. “Bad day?” “Yes and no, I had history, and we were
discussing why the Brookes were on the royal guard, seems both James and Jessie told the tale, and told it wrong.”
KESKA: “What do you mean!” she asked me. “Instead of them telling it like it was, they told everyone that it was Nana,
not Nana’s grandfather.” I tell her. “So now I am a liar, and to fix it I am going to have to have Nana come and set the
teacher straight.” I tell her. “Oh great, another screw up by the twins that you have to fix, will it ever end?” “No because
James and Jessie will never stop bragging and exaggerating.” “What are you talking about me for?” I hear Jessie’s voice
coming from behind me. “Because it seems that you and James have a bad habit of exaggerating facts.” I tell her. “I do
not!” “Then why does Mr. Greyson believe that Nana killed that Lycan and not her grandfather? I now have to have Nana
come and set him straight, so that he can teach it right.” I tell her. Jessie just tries to slap me again, and just like last time,
I dodged her. “Knock it off Jessie, you are not the elder Mrs. Sutter, I don’t have to let you hit me.” “You little bitch, you will get yours! I can’t wait till you have your punishment.” She flips her hair and walks away to her friends at the end of
the aisle. “Let’s go.” I say to Mackie, “I have an appointment at the library tonight, and I still want to get my workout in.” We headed out to where we had the bikes locked up, we unlocked them and headed to Nana’s to do our homework and
then our training. After Mackie left for home I hit the obstacle course hard and didn’t slow down until Nana made me
stop. “What’s going on Kes.” She asked me. “Sorry Nana, but Jessie is just being a pain in the ass, and I need you to
come to school tomorrow and set Mr. Greyson straight about who it was that killed that Lycan, because of James and
Jessie I got in trouble, because I said that it was great grandfather and not you, so he gave me an F for the day.” “What
time is your class tomorrow? I will be there.” “1:45 is when class starts.” “Ok. Now let’s have some dinner.” “Ok, I need to
go to the library tonight, though.” “Why is that?” “Seth is pulling crap that is getting some students and Jessie in trouble,
so I need to go set him straight.” I tell her. “I think I will come with you; I want to see my grand pup in action.” She says,
and I just laugh.
KESKA: After dinner Stephen drove Nana and I to the library. We both go into the library, she headed to the desk to ask
the person for some help to find a book that had some herbal recipes in it, (LILLY: I secretly go and watch Keska after I
get the book I wanted.) and I headed over to where I see Betsy’s work group.
“Hey Betsy.” I say, as I approach their table. “Hey Keska, what brings you here?” she asked. “I need to barrow Seth for a
minute.” “What do you need with me?!” Seth snips at me. “Wow, sorry, is that how you talk to a supposed friend?” I
asked him. “Sorry, we are just having a rough time with this project.” “I will just take a moment, then you can get back to
your work.” He follows me away from the table. “What do you want Keska?” “Glad to see that you finally dropped the
act, but you need to listen, if you keep pulling shit to get Jessie pissed at other students, you are putting this pack in
danger of going back to Great Uncle Carson. Father swore an oath that there would be no bullying and here you are making Jessie pissed at other students, because of her being an Alpha what is hers is hers and you are using it against
her, keep it up and there will be no pack for any of us, dumb ass!” I tell him “So whether you are doing it on purpose or
not, you need to stop with the bullshit. I hope I have made myself clear, because I will tell my father that you are pulling
this shit on purpose to make Jessie jealous.”
KESKA: “I am not trying to do anything, so don’t threaten me, Keska!” “I am not threatening anyone, I am just informing
you of the consequences of the situation, and the fact that there are witnesses to the crap that you are pulling to keep
Jessie’s attention on you, she already has a punishment that she has to do, because she was caught bulling a student,
and why? Because you got too close and put your arm around her and Jessie saw it. That’s on you.” I tell him. “Just be
mindful of what you are doing.” I turned and started to walk away from him. He grabs my arm hard, and I know it’s going
to leave a bruise. “You are just jealous of me and Jessie, because I picked her instead of you.” “Ha! I could care less who
you date Seth, it makes no difference to me, but what does matter to me is the fact that between the two of you, you
have put the pack in jeopardy of being given to someone else, and how do you think James will react when he figures all
this out for himself?” “As I said I could care less who you date, I just care about the pack, and my home, now let go,
before you get embarrassed.” I tell him. “What are you going to do? Beat me up?” “No, but I will put you on the floor, if
you don’t let go.” I hiss at him, with a bit of anger in my voice. He let go, and I walked back to the front check out desk to wait for Nana. “Oh, thank you so much for your help this evening.” I hear her say to the librarian. “Are you ready Nana?” I
asked, “I just need to check this book out, and then we can go.” I waited for her to finish, and we left. “did you
accomplish what you set out to do?” “I hope so Nana I hope so.”
