New Pack for the Rejected

KESKA: “James, Jessie, Lissa, Liam! Come on let’s go! we’re going to be late!” mom yelled. Leaving me out of the mix again. My name is Keska, I’m the middle child in the Alpha family, stuck between two sets of twins. Today is our cousin Adrian’s swearing in ceremony, as he has found his mate,…

The guys were getting a good chuckle out of all of it. My phone pinged again From Jessie: Well can’t YOU just go tell him to leave me alone!!? KESKA: Typical Jessie, she thinks I got left behind again. That’s the way it usually goes in my family, if I am not standing right in…
