“You have already done your tradition once and it backfired.” I retorted. He gets up and walks out of his office, slamming the door on his way out.
“Oops.” Fen smirks in my head.
“Was I too harsh?” I ask her.
“Hell no, you should have been harder on him. Trying to force us into this sh*t.” Fen answers.
“He isn’t really forcing us into this, we agreed to it.” I say.
“He tried to force us into the run.” Fen argues.
“It’s his tradition. We are taking that away from him. I would be upset too.” I say. Fen gasps.
“NO! Do not start defending the a*shole! You start defending people to me and then you all of a sudden get closer to them! It won’t work this time! I will not allow it!” She starts yelling at me.
“Fen calm down. I am not going to get closer with Alarick. I can’t risk him knowing about us. Okay? And you know he is kind of an a*shole.” I answer her, assuring her everything is alright.
“Whatever.” Fen grumbles and retreats. I get up to go to the room. It is 11:00, if I play my cards right I can grab Maleena, get lunch and go to the highschool to enroll her. Then go school shopping after.
I walk into the room and see that everything is torn out. Everything except the bathroom. They even have the studs up and are working on the drywall. That was quick. I close the door and go across the hall. Maleena is on the bed watching TV. She jumps when I walk in. Her face flushes.
“What are you watching?” I ask, smirking at her. Something nasty. Fen snickers. I look at the TV and see a naked couple in bed. You can’t see anything, but the side of their bodies and a sheet covering them. I look at Maleena whose face is bright red.
“It isn’t what it looks like!” She shrieks.
“Oh really?” I look at the screen then back at her. I have to give her a hard time, I know it isn’t p*rn.
“I promise. You just came in at the worst part of the show!” See? She says frantically pushing buttons on the TV remote pulling up the name of the show. Lucifer.
“Okay..” I drag out. “Whatever you say.”
“No! I promise! It is a show about a detective and the Devil. It’s a good show.” She says trying to defend herself. I just chuckle.
“I was just giving you a hard time. Get your shoes on. We’re going out for lunch then to the school to get you registered.” I say calming her down a little. I can still feel her embarrassment and chuckle some more. She quickly gets on her shoes and turns off the TV. We head to the main strip to a little cafe and order some food.
“How was your meeting with the King?” She asks in a low tone. I look around to see one other couple sitting across the cafe in deep conversation. They won’t be able to hear us.
“It was fine. I pissed him off, but does that surprise you?” I say lightly.
“Oh goddess. What did you do?” She asks concerned.
“I just told him I won’t be doing the pack run.” I say.
“Why did that piss him off?” She asks.
“Because it is tradition and I am breaking it.” I say.
“Did you explain to him why you don’t want to do it?” She asks. She knows that I don’t shift, unless I need to. The last time I shifted was about 4 years ago, I have never had the need to shift since. Fen is on the same page when it comes to shifting, most people need to shift at least once a month to keep their wolf from taking over, but my circumstance is different.
“I told him I don’t shift. Then I brought up his first mate and he got mad and left.” I say. Her eyes go big and her mouth opens a little. Before she had the chance to ask any other questions the kitchen doors swung open revealing our waitress. She was bringing our food. We ate our food and paid then started towards the school. Lunch took a little longer than expected and it was now 13:00. When we arrived at the highschool we walked into the front office. The women at the front desk looked at me with disdain. We interrupted her playing on her phone.
“Can I help you?” She asked in a monotone voice.
“Yes. I need to register my sister for school. “I say, trying not to get annoyed at this woman’s lack of professionalism.
“Name.” Is all she says.
“Maleena Petrovich.” I say.
“Petrovich.. As in the future queen Petrovich?” The woman asks, her eyes getting big as she realizes who I am.
“Yes.” I say.
