I move to open my door and am met with two solid walls of muscle.


    What the hell? I figured Jason would be here, but... "Oh, hell no! This is not happening.


    Be, don''t you have something better to do with your time?" I shouldn''t snap at him, he hasn''t actually done anything wrong, but be in my way and way too close forfort.


    "Nope." He looks us both over with a nk expression on his face.


    "I don''t see you giving Jason a hard time about doing his job.” He sounds hurt.


    Is he annoyed with me?


    "He''s following his Luna, that''s his job.


    Why would I give him a hard time?"


    "And I''m following mine, get over it.


    It''s not a discussion." The f*ck? I can feel my scowl deepen.


    Nope.


    He''s not hurt, he''s pissed about having to follow me around.


    That makes two of us, buddy.


    Rayna grabbed my arm and started walking before I could start in on Be.


    Great.


    Are they all this d* ckish when they aren''t partying? Maybe they were just being nice when we visited because they wanted to make it easy on Rayna.


    I had to take deep breaths as we walked downstairs.


    The Aunt Beth tornado was a wee distraction when we got to the bottom.


    Jason and Be kept their distance, just watching from the outskirts of the room.


    I could tell that Aunt Beth was conflicted about my situation based on the concerned look on her face and I''m sure everyone has discussed it at length, about me, but without me.


    As usual.


    I hate that I can''t mindlink with anyone and they are forever leaving me out of conversations.


    I would love to be able to talk to Rayna without prying ears.


    It takes everything in me to keep my temper in check.


    I feel like I am going to be angry all day based on the way the morning started.


    Deep breaths, I keep reminding myself.


    “Let''s get you girls out of here, the boys should be down soon and I want to keep you a surprise for now.


    You are both so gorgeous." She ps her hands like a schoolgirl.


    She ushers us out to a small tent at the back of the yard and tells Jason and Be to wait outside.


    She knows they can hear us just fine through the thin stic, but I think she is giving us both a moment before the chaos starts.


    She hugs Rayna and thenes to me.


    "It will all work out sweetheart, okay?" She pulls me back and looks me right in the eyes.


    "Be happy today, you are gaining a sister after being surrounded by overprotective boys your whole life." Sheughs and my tension cracks a little.


    I take a deep breath and nod, letting it out slowly.


    "Thank you Aunt Beth.


    I''m sorry, today isn''t about me." I look over at Rayna.


    "And I really am d that there has been another girl in the house.


    I did not know how obnoxious those guys really were until you came along and they


    divided their attention between the two of us." I made my voice loud enough to guarantee Jason and Be heard me.


    I swear I heard Beugh and Jason respond with ''shut up'' and something along


    the lines of ''buckle up, she''s yours now.'' Asshole.


    I rolled my eyes and smiled at Rayna who was giggling at the exchange.


    "Alright, it''s time." Aunt Beth sings.


    I don''t know how the time is flying by so fast.


    It seems like we just walked out here, but it''s been at least an hour.


    "Kennedy and I will go take our ces and we''ll see you soon." We both hug Rayna again and head out of the tent.


    Be walks just behind my right shoulder so I can see him in my peripherals.


    It''s the same way he walked behind me when we were in Dark Moon pack.


    Did he know then? Did they all know and just didn''t tell me? I take a deep breath in and tuck those thoughts away or I am liable to start a fight, but this discussion is happening.


    Tonight.
