CHAPTER 29
It hadn’t taken too long for the Alpha to get the house ready for me and he made sure that it was fully furnished because he knew that I didn’t have anything.
I had a bit of money but I knew that it was going to be needed soon. Especially if the guys are already starting to be attacked. But the Alpha was being really good about everything.
He was really curious as to who my father was since my mother was human. And with my
abilities, he knew that my father had to be someone special.
But I told him that I had no idea. With all the questions that he asked me, I finally had to tell
him that I’ve never met my biological father. He was communicating with Ava, so she’s the
one that he needed to talk to if he wanted to find out who my dad is.
I knew that he was going to talk to Ava about it, but otherwise I was still in the dark about who
my dad was.
Ava had to tell the Alpha because they aren’t allowed to keep secrets from him, and if he demanded it then she would be physically incapable of lying to him or not telling him.
But no one was telling me anything.
I walked out of my house at dusk one afternoon and I checked the perimeter of the packhouse before I walked into the forest and started checking around the area for anything that might
be out of the ordinary.
If there was any trace of an animal that shouldn’t be there, or if I could sense any sort of species that shouldn’t be there.
I heard some twigs break behind me and I stopped where I was, but I didn’t turn around.
“Do you realize how stupid it is to sneak up on me?” I asked.
“I was hoping you’d be able to tell that it was me.” Koda said.
“Well, you’re lucky that I was able to tell that it was you.” I said, finally turning around to look at him. “What are you doing out here?” I asked.
“Well, I’m still the future Alpha. I can’t stay locked up in the packhouse forever. It’s weak.” He
said.
“Well, walking around the forest and not being able to sense witches or fairies is stupid.” I
said.
“I guess. But I can’t let the pack see me being weak. Neither can my brothers.” He said. And I

nodded my head.
“You don’t want the pack seeing you being protected by a girl.” I said.
“We’ve been training longer than you. It seems ridiculous that you are able to take care of us.” He said.
“Well, that’s where we can disagree. You have trained longer than me, but you can’t do what I can.” I said.
“I’ve noticed.” He said.
We started walking through the forest together and he was quiet at first but I knew that he had something on his mind. But I was really just looking around the forest and doing my job.
Having Koda next to me didn’t make me feel uneasy. It just meant that I would have to fight harder if we were attacked.
“Dean told me what you said to him. About you probably not surviving the fight.” He said.
“The odds aren’t in my favor. But like I told him, you triplets are the ones that need to survive.”
I said.
“Why? Why are we more important than you?”
“You’ll have to ask the others that. I’m just following orders.”
“You’re our mate. Technically, right now. You’re our pack’s future Luna. You don’t take orders from anyone.” He said.
“I wish it was that easy.” I said.
“How old were you when they started training you for this?”
“13.” I said, still looking around the forest.
“That’s a lot of responsibility.” He said. But I just shrugged. It didn’t bother me so much
anymore.
“Well, it got me out of that house for longer every day so I didn’t have to look at Evelyn and Henry.” I said. And he nodded his head like he understood.
I knew that he understood. They’d been watching me in that house. They saw what my mother and stepfather were like. They knew that it was a hostile environment and I couldn’t wait to get out of there. And this has given me the excuse to do it. Even if I’m not 18 yet.
“So, why did Evelyn show up here drunk screaming at you?” He asked.
“Because she lost. She wanted to kick me out. She was looking forward to the day when she

got to kick me out. But I beat her to it. I left and never told her so she was pissed.” I explained.
“Why does she hate you so much?” Koda asked.
“Because dad knocked her up and then disappeared. She loved him. But he proved that he was just using her. He never stuck around to see me and when he left it was too late for her to have an abortion.” I explained.
“Why didn’t she put you up for adoption?”
“Because she’s a spiteful b***h. She figured that I would be a good bargaining chip if dad ever showed up again.”
Koda looked a little pissed at that remark. I don’t think he was expecting me to say something so underhanded. But I don’t know what he expected from Evelyn. She was a b***h and they knew that. I was just a means to an end with her.
She’d made that perfectly clear and she let everyone who would listen that I was a mistake.
That she was pissed that she ever had me.
Honestly, I’m surprised that I lived through my first couple of years when I was dependent on
her to live.
She’s always made it obvious that she hates me and the second I was old enough to start
taking care of myself, she let me.
She hated that I was always eating their food though, so when I met Ava she realized that I was more mature than I should be for my age and she started giving me those checks earlier than expected. Only because she knew that I needed it.
Evelyn had started restricting my food at that point and Ava knew that it was child abuse. So she would give me the money but she would spread it out over the month instead of giving it
all to me in one go.
When I got back to my house I walked inside and I turned the living room light on and I started walking to the kitchen and I stopped next to a darkened hallway next to me.
“How the f**k did you get into my house?” I asked.
“You and I need to talk.” Izzy said, coming out from the dark and into the light.
