“Calihan.” Mum speaks to him. “This is your sister, Blair. She’s going to be staying with us.”He gives me the biggest smile, showing me all his teeth. “Hi. You are my big sister?””Hey, yes, I guess I am” I smile back as mum gestures to the boxes of cereal and tells me to help myself.Kade appears at the table and sits opposite me. He spends the whole time watching me as he eats but doesn’t say anything while Calihan talks to me about school completely oblivious of his brother.”Your dad has just told me that there is no school today.” Mum announces as she brings in some jugs of juice. It was like she was preparing to feed the five thousand not four of us and a baby.Calihan does a small fist pump when he hears the news while Kade demands to know why. Something else unusual about him. Every kid his age should be happy they don’t have to go to school for the day.”Alpha Dane is changing a few things around. Due to the amount of children he is splitting the class so everyone gets more attention. So Kade, from Monday, you will attend in the morning and Calihan, you will go in the afternoon.” “That’s not fair!” Kade slams his fist on the table.”It’s the rules and what do we do when it comes to rules?” Mum glares at him and Kade retreats a little.What was that about?”We follow them.” Calihan states proudly.”Yes we do, especially if we want to be happy here.”Calihan bobs his head in agreement and slurps the milk from his bowl. The boys were so different, but it was also more than that. Even without my Lycan abilities I knew there was some problem with Kade.Calihan goes right back to telling me about his friends at school as Kade continues to watch me. He wasn’t anything like the boy I had seen running around in the front garden that day.”It’s Kades birthday soon.” Calihan tells me. “He is going to be eight.” Calihan holds his fingers up proudly. “Two more sleeps.””Are you excited?” I ask Kade as mum leaves the room to get Braelyn.He rolls his eyes at me and takes his empty bowl to the sink.”He’s just being silly.” Calihan tells me.”Maybe he is too excited and it’s made him tired.” I lie to my little brother. “It happens sometimes.” Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the ƒindηʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Mum appears with Braelyn. She was so much bigger than the first time I had laid eyes on her. Mum slips her into the high chair and puts a bottle of milk in front of her. She was a miniature version of mum. Deep brown eyes and a shock of jet black hair. Oblivious to anything but her bottle of milk.”Do you think you could get used to this?” Mum asks meI had never had this in any shape or form. A tear creeps out and Calihan throws his little arms around my waist. “Don’t cry.”I nod at mum. “I’m sorry.”She smiles at me. “I know, it’s just taken you a long time to find your way home.”****”Dad. It’s not fair.” Kade is stomping around, following Ryken while I tie the laces o0f my boots”It’s what needs to be done. You won’t be in the class with the Hunter kid. So there will be no more trouble.””There was no trouble. I just asked her for a damn pencil!”I watch Ryken spin around and glare at Kade. Kade immediately freezes and his head sinks lower and lower until his face couldn’t be seen.”Watch your language and do not speak to me like that again!””Yes Dad.” It was a completely different tone to how he had been speaking earlier.”Now go to your room until I return.”Kade bobs his head and runs off to the staircase. His feet move quickly and seconds later a door slams and I watch Ryken groan. He looks at me. “Are you ready? Because your escort is here.”
