3/4 Book1 Chapter11 I watch Emma leave the room with Olivia . I dont like leaving her with someone we just met even if apparently we share blood . Mom never talked about her parents , from what she told us , they never spent time with her . I turn back towards Frank who is looking at us . He says , You two need to protect Emma with your lives . She looks too much like Ava , the Alphas might not react well . And you too look exactly like your fathers , so I would hide your faces until you are ready for a confrontation . I nod , We need a cloak to hide ourselves . I assume you can provide that . Of course , answered Frank . He leaves the room , gesturing for us to follow . My wolf didnt like following a lesser wolfs orders , but I pushed him down . Its not the time for a dominance fight . I followed Frank with Jackson behind me . I trust him to protect my back . We entered another room where Frank shoved two sets of clothes at us . I think these will fit , tells us Frank . I nod my thanks and Frank leaves without another word . Apparently , hes just as uncomfortable with this as we are . I trust him more than Olivia or grandma . Her face doesnt reveal anything and my experience says that anyone as welcoming as her has something to hide . Its the biggest distraction . I turn to Jackson and ask , Do you think we can trust them ? I dont think we have a choice , answers Jackson without wasting any words , But I think we can . They care a lot for Mom , enough to not try to find her mates and tell them where she is . Our grandmother is hiding something as well . That was my read on the situation too . I just wanted to check what you thought , I explain . We change into our new clothes in silence . They are a little tight , but we are well built due to training . Mom often told us we looked older than 16 years old . Frank also had left two cloaks out for us . Those fit perfectly and hid our faces . I left first , leaving Jackson behind . He wanted to do some snooping around the house . I found Olivia and Emma chatting in the kitchen . I ask , Can I join this conversation ? Of course , we are only discussing Moms childhood , Emma tells me . Olivia continued the story I had previously interrupted , Her and Alice had snuck back into the house , hoping to trick us . Frank and I were waiting in her room for them . Their faces were precious , they were so shocked . Who is Alice ? I wondered , curious . 1/4 Olivia turned to me , Alice was Avas best friend and she is now mated to the Beta of your fathers . That was a useful piece of information . I think that Alice would help us if things go south . Either to help us escape or save mom , if they are as close as it appears . Friendship like that just doesnt disappear . Though Alice might be salty that Mom hasnt talked to her in over sixteen years , I hope she might look past that for a short period of time . I am perfectly willing to take on a powerful group of Hunters for moms sake if no one wants to help . I am sure the others are of the same opinion . I think thats exactly why she sent us here . Mom knew that we would obey her . Given that those might be the last words , we will listen . If we dont , then try to free her and maybe even die , she will be so mad . And Mom mad is enough to even scare the devil . Jackson finally comes into the room , followed by Frank . I make eye contact with my brother to see if he found anything . A subtly shake of his head answers my unasked question . Something si strange about our grandparents , maybe it seems that they never searched for their daughter or asked how she is . But maybe I have a bias opinion , I cant think about this now . Frank said , We need to head out now because if anyone is late without a good excuse , they spend two days in the pack dungeons . Emma scoffs , Harsh , much ? Olivia nodded , Like I said the twin Alphas became cold after their mate , I guess my daughters disappearance . I dont understand why she would run from her mates . In her letter , she told us that her mate rejected her , but from my point of vue , the twins didnt do that . Her assumption pissed me off . She is bad mouthing my mom , her own daughter . THE I abruptly stood up and told her , She was drunk when she met them at the party . Mom slept with them and woke up the next day in bed alone with a simple note . That spells out rejection . Mom knew that she couldnt avoid them and didnt want to put herself through the pain of seeing them with others , so she ran . Everyone who have tried to convince her otherwise so she didnt talk to anyone . Dont make assumptions about things you dont know about ! Frank was in a protective stance on front of his mate because of my yelling . I dont blame him , sometimes my temper gets the better of me . Was I personally a bit mad about Moms desion when we found out ? Hell yeah ! But I understand and its about me , not my grand parents , so they can leave it alone . Olivia immediately calmed him down before apologizing to me and my siblings , I am sorry about my assumptions . I was just confused and did not mean for you to take things the wrong way . I simply nodded in recognition of her apology , not orally like she seems to want me too . I really dont like her . Book1 Chapter11 2/4 Into the tense silence , Emma spoke , We need to go , yeah ? Frank shook his head yes and headed for the door . Emma sighed and followed , leaving Jackson and I behind her . I inwardly chuckle , it looks like Jackson and I are Emmas bodyguards or followers . It isnt far off from the truth . Emma got us in some much trouble when we were younger . Shes very difficult to keep up with and I wish mercy upon the werewolf who would be her mate . But enough of that , its time to crash a pack meeting .
