“I don’t get it. Why would you want to grow it and use it on your own daughter? None of this makes sense. You know I could have you banished for this or have you killed. Is that why you left your last pack to avoid punishment?”
“No, we were banished, or going to be anyway, because I hit the Alpha’s daughter,” Shirley tells me, not giving anything away, yet I knew there were other reasons. Something in my gut told me something else was going on.
“Katya will stay at the packhouse until further notice. Tell your husband to drop her things off tomorrow,” I tell her. She goes to object when I glare at her, forcing her mouth shut.
“I wasn’t asking, and until I know what is going on, Katya remains with me” I turn to go back to the room when she speaks.
“Can I at least speak with her privately? I need to apologize, so I know she doesn’t hate me. I honestly didn’t realize how much was in those pills,” She says.
“Not until you hand your stash over. You won’t be going near her,” I tell her mother. Shirley presses her lips in a line before reaching into her back pocket and pulling out what I thought at first was a wallet. She grabs my hand, shoving the container in it.
“I want to see my daughter,” she growls at me before realizing what she did. My eyes turning to my beast made her step back and let my arm go.
“If she permits it,” I tell her, turning my back on her and walking into the room and shutting the door in her face. I noticed her remain at the door, peering in, but I ignored her, turning to face Kat.
Katya looked behind me worriedly, Mateo sitting on the edge of the bed. He leaps to his feet, and I sit beside her.
“Is my mother okay?‘ She asks. She nearly died because of the woman, yet she was more worried about her, forgetting that her mother was the same woman who almost murdered her.
“She is fine; she wants to speak to you. I told her it was up to you, though I don’t know why you would ever want to see her again after what she did,” I told her.
“She is my mother; she would never intentionally hurt me,” Katya says, looking back at the door.
“Do you want to see her?”
