I watched as we were driving away to go park 42

“It’s Keska, she is giving me orders now.” “What do you mean?” “She just linked me to** tell me** I have to convince
Mom and Dad to go on that graduation trip. That she wasn’t going to be blamed for Jessie not going.” I just chuckle at
that. “Think of it as a way to get into her good graces, after all the punishments she has taken for you, don’t you think
you owe her?” “Did you know?” “Yes, unfortunately I did.” I tell him. “Why didn’t you tell Dad?” “Wasn’t my place, you
needed to come to that conclusion on your own, as an Alpha heir.” “Why does she want us to go on this trip so bad?” “I
don’t know, that is something you will have to ask her.” I tell him.
************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
KESKA: “Yes Dr. I understand.” I say to him. He leaves my room. “See, you have to have special food anyway dear, Drake we need to stay and take care of her.” Mom says. I am pissed to say the least, I get hurt by someone that is not them and
now they pay attention to me. F*ck no! “Look, I will be fine, Nana and Sarah will look after me and I will be good as new
when you get back.” I say with a bit of sarcasm letting them know what I think of the fuss they are showing. “We will
discuss it.” Father says. “What is there to discuss, Jessie will through a fit, if the trip gets canceled because of me, and she
will be relentless.” I say to them. “It will be better if you just take James, Jessie, and Wyatt, go to High Crest and Dutch Wood, Mackie and I can hold down the fort with Beta Gleeson, it will keep the peace.” I say. “I said we will discuss it!”
Father says a little of his Alpha’s aura slips out. Opps I pushed a little too much, I bow my head and offer my neck to him.
There was a knock on the door, Father released his aura and answered the door, it was dinner, so they left my room. “Can Mackie and Liam come in?” I asked. Father just nodded his head. Mackie and Liam came in and sat with me while I ate. We just chit chatted about nothing and everything. “Mom and Dad took Wyatt and James home.” Liam tells me. “Liam, I
am sorry you probably should have gone with them, you are going to miss dinner. Same with you Mackie. I’m sorry. I’m
being selfish.” I say to them. “Forget it. We would rather be with you than with them anyway.” “Thank you, but I will be
home tomorrow, and you need to have dinner too.” I say to them. “Kes, why are you so adamant about Mom and Dad
going on that trip?” Liam asked me. “Well in part, I would prefer to have Uncle Carson to ourselves, without the two of
them always butting in on everything.” I tell him. “In Part, what’s the other part?” “I want to talk to him about his sisterin-law, and find out what he really thinks of her, because I have heard Nana mumbling and calling her a gold digging
statis climbing bitch.” “Keska!” “Yeah, I know I swore. Opps!” There was a knock on the door, and the kitchen aide came
in to take my tray away. And the nurse came in right after. “I need to take your vitals, and visiting hours are now over.”
She tells me Mackie and Liam leave.
LISSA: I have been waiting to hear from my brother for hours. I am so angry at him right now, that when I see him, I am
going to hit him for making me wait, I would have linked him, but Jessie said that they would be home soon. I have so much pent-up nervous energy that I have to get it out so I go to the kitchen to ask Sarah I there is anything I can do to
help. She put me to work setting the table for dinner.
LISSA: I was in the family dining room when Mom, Dad, and James come in. “Where’s Liam?” I ask as they come through
the door. “He will be here a bit later, he stayed with Keska.” Dad says. “Is Kes ok? She said she would be right behind me,
but she never came!” I was near tears. Dad came over to me and just held me. “Kes will be ok, it will take her a little bit of
time to heal from what happened to her, but she will be just fine.” “What did happen to her?” I asked. “She was stabbed
with a silver knife. You were there watching today?” “Yes.” “Tell me everything you remember, ok.” “Ok, I got down to the
field at about 8ish, they had started the second round of switching offense and defense, Kes was paired with Brent
Charter, and there was 1 other pair close, because Frank would have them switch partners. So, it was Kirk Anders paired
with Ronnie Briginhall. Then someone shouted rouges north border, everyone stopped what they were doing, then
everything turned chaotic. Frank told Kes to get me and get to the house, she linked me to run to the house, I was on the
bleachers and that she would be right behind me. But she wasn’t, and by the time I realized she wasn’t everything had
already happened. I am so sorry Daddy.” I started to cry. “Sshh sshh sweetheart it’s not your fault, we don’t know what
happened. Like you said everything was chaos.”
LIAM: Mackie and I walked together on our way home, “Oh crap, Lissa is going to kill me.” “Why would Lissa want to do
that?” “Because I was supposed to let her know what was going on with Kes, and I just forgot about it, until now.” I tell
her. “Sorry about that but go home and take whatever she says or does like the Alpha born you are and show James how
it’s actually supposed to go.” She tells me. I chuckle at her meaning, and just nod my head. We hit the split where she
heads to her house, and I have about 2 more blocks to reach home. It was after dinner when I walked through the front
door, and I got punched in the shoulder. “OWW.” “You said you would link me!” Lissa seethe at me. “I know, I am sorry, I
got caught up with everything that was happening with Kes, I just forgot.” I tell her. “Is she ok?” “She will be, and she will
be home some time tomorrow.” I tell her. “I was so scared Liam.” I had to hold back my sarcasm, because just a week ago
she could have cared less about what happened to Kes. “What happened, why the change of heart all of a sudden?” I
dead paned the question to her. She punched me again. “OWW! What was that for?” “I am not Jessie; I care about what
happens to Kes.” “You couldn’t have proven it by me, the way you were always sticking up for Jessie.” I tell her. I noticed
that both James and Jessie were in the game room as I walked by, headed to the kitchen to get something to eat. So, I
