"Answer me! Were you bullied and pushed to the ground and scratched at your back? Did you ever sprain your ankle?" She kept with the questions, her eyes blazing In fury. "Step mom, I..."

"I was not talking to you Baron." She held a hand to cut him off. "Now you Katherina, answer me." "I...I..."

"Were you accused of stealing a phone?" She probed.

Beta Mark was possibly behind all these revelations, he had told them about it. I turned to dad, he too was not happy. He looked disappointed. As soon as our eyes met, he averted his. They both hated me at the moment.

Dad had done nothing but love me. Ever since I stepped into his house, he had treated me like a daughter. He had bought me my first car, a very expensive phone that he he had changed the second time. Had always remembered to get me things whenever he went on travels, even when he'd realized I had no wolf, he had loved me still.

He did not mince words when he called me his daughter, told me he loved me. He did not hesitate to show me how much he appreciated my presence in his life even though I was barely doing anything for him.

I had two parents who loved me unconditionally and I let them down. They were both feeling betrayed by me, and they could not believe I had done what I had done to them. I had hidden things from them, especially the most important part of me.

"I... Yes." I replied. There was no need to lie again, everything was out in the open air. We just needed to replace a way out of it.

"And those boys? What you and the boys told us, was that the truth?" The anger was still written boldly on her face.

I slowly gave a shake of my head. "No."

"So you've already decided to lie to your mother, huh?" She looked at me as though she could not believe I was her daughter. "We made her lie..."

The angry look mom passed to Zach made him withdraw and stopped talking. She always had that effect on anyone, she was a tough woman. She was strong wolfess.

"You made her lie, you say?"

Zach gave an uncertain, small nod of his head.

"Did you make her lie to me about her wolf?" She questioned him.

"No, I did not do that. I just thought...I..." He trailed off, fully understanding where mom was driving to and that he was not part of the journey. None of them were. This had happened way before the mate bond had happened between she and dad.

"Exactly." She looked away from them and turned back to me. "You have lied from the beginning, you have hidden secrets to yourself and all the while you have pretended." "Mom I'm sorry." I tried again.

"Because you got caught? I don't want to hear it, Katherina." She ignored me.

I felt my heart constricted in pain as more tears fell, I wiped my eyes. Mom was not going to forgive, she was probably never going to forgive nor trust me ever again. I knew she was hurt, and she was not going to even look at me. Out of habit, my hand went to where the bracelet used to be but found it bare. My wolf was let free, I had lost control. If mom and dad had probably not arrived when they did, I would have ended Katelyn's life there and then. After everything that had happened in school today, I pondered on what it would mean for learning in the oncoming days. A lot of drama had happened, both at home and at school. It was as though anywhere I went to, there was sure to be drama and trouble.

Back at my old pack, there had been lots of drama and trouble, and mom had been involved in all of them. She had been humiliated too. And the things she had told me today even made me realize that I was not even aware of some of the humiliation and insults she had received because of me.

I stood, looking at her, she turned away from me and faced the boys. "What happened today?"

The boys went quiet. Her gaze roamed the environment to see that even maids who were pretending to have something doing in the foyer were eavesdropping.

"To the family living room, now!" She commanded, walking past me without so much as a glance at my face.

The boys followed. Baron was staying away from me, even when Aaron had come close to me, he had seen it but did not bother coming close. I frowned, what was wrong with him? While I was relieved he was not causing a scene, I was wondering what had brought all of this coolness from him.

As we all filed into the room, none paid attention to us. None except for one person. Dad. He was looking at the way Aaron held me close to himself, I wanted to push him away given the situation on ground but I could not.

My wolf was really liking our nearness, and the bond was making it hard for me to let go of him. I sighed. In a day, there must be something that life would throw my way.

Whether it was good, bad, strange or indescribable, I was sure to face. When would all of this end? When was I going to stop being thrown into chaos and drama, and be allowed to just live as I had always wished to - quietly and peacefully? We entered the family living room. Mom was the first to seat and she intentionally chose the seat that would give her access to see all of our faces well. Dad joined her.

Aaron sat wherever I sat, his hand linked with mine in support and comfort. I reveled in it.

If mom saw it, she made no comment. Her expression was still tough, and she still was not looking at me.

A tear dropped, I kept my face low to wipe it away.
