Chapter 12


    I dance across my room, spinning in front of my mirror. Music sts through my phone as I practice my


    routine.


    All of a sudden the door swings open revealing one of the pack guards.


    "Anna we''re under attack! Your parents instructed you to stay here till it''s over!" He yelled at me over


    my music.


    I run to my phone and pause the song, instead of music I hear screams. The guard leaves my room


    shutting the door behind him. Leaving me alone to listen to the cries outside. I can''t sit here and do


    nothing; I have to find my family!


    The music stops, and Ie back to reality. pping fills my ears, and I look towards Katy, but instead


    of just her, there are little girls in leotards cheering.


    "Anna that was incredible!" Katy cheers.


    I blush and look down; I guess I wasn''t as rusty as I thought. I walk back towards Katy and sit next to


    her on the hardwood floor.


    "Anna that was was just--ah!" Katy yells.


    Iugh as the little girls dance around the room. We watch them until a middle-aged woman enters


    through the door.


    "Girls, what are you doing?" Thedy asks the adorable little girls as they spin and twirl.


    "Dancing like Anna!" One little girl giggles.


    "Anna?" The woman ponders confused.


    "This is Anna." Katy points to me. Thedy turns around and sighs.


    "Katy, what are you doing?" She grumbles.

    "I was showing Anna around the pack grounds," Katy says a-matter-of-factly.


    "Well, can you please go so I can start my ss."


    "Yes, we can," I say and pull up Katy from the floor. "Come on let''s go."


    Katy and I left the small dance studio and made our way back to the pack house, on the way home


    Katy wouldn''t stop talking about my dancing. At first, I was ttered that she thought I was amazing, but


    now I want to tape her mouth.


    When we got back to the pack house we hurried into the kitchen and made lunch for Jackson and


    Tyler; they were busy dealing with "pack business."


    "This smells so so so so so so-"


    "Okay, Katy I get it." I pick up the tray of food and carry it to Tyler''s office where they''re working.


    "Anna let me have a bite!" Katy cries as her hand nears the grilled ham and cheese sandwiches.


    "No!" I swat her hand away. "Bad Katy!"


    Katy opens the office door as I enter the room. Tyler is sitting at his desk, and Jackson is standing


    beside him, a guy is sitting in one of the chairs opposite of Tyler. The man turns around, and I almost


    drop the tray, but Katy quickly saves it.


    "Anna! What the hell!" Frank yells as he holds the note I left in the air.


    "Anna, who is this?" Tyler asks from behind his desk.


    "Um... This is Frank." I mumble.


    "Anna why the hell did you leave! I thought I would never see you again!" Frank yells as he scolds me.


    "How could you be so stupid to be rogue?"


    "I...I" I gulp down my pride. "I don''t know; I thought I could start my own life."


    "Start your own life? With what?" Frank questions, not understanding me.


    "With us," Katy says with pride.


    "With me." Tyler stands up.
