Once Rejected, Thrice Accepted
Chapter 93

Playing chase with Huck was a treat after everything that had been happening in my life. Chance's wolf, Trigger, joined in with them teaming together to get me. Moonlight let them once or twice but most of the time made the work harder and harder each time. The men who were with us, including Duncan and Draco, almost busted a gut laughing at me kicking some a*s. It was only fair they had to chase us all the way back down to the pack. I just figured they needed some exercise.

Alpha Chance and Ryder went off to shift while I continued on to the pack house. I had a meeting with Britt, Sabine, and Dad to talk about the past and hopefully make a plan for the future. After that I scheduled in some alone time with Leo. He really wants to go camping and watched the stars together so I told the others it was happening. I am kinda of really excited.

"I thought you weren't going to make it." Britt whisper-shouted at me as she almost ran to me with a look of panic. "Sabine keeps giving me this intense stare and Dad doesn't know what to do with himself so he is making awkward conversation." I laughed. "Once I get me some food and the worlds biggest coffee I will join you over there, I promise."

She shook her head no. "I will get your coffee. Extra sweet with little coffee and lots of creamer. Got it." She turned and ran off before I could even answer. Well shit. I just had to hope she was going to remember what I wanted on my plate.

Dad was waving me over with a look of panic on his face that matched Britts just a minute earlier. I don't understand what is wrong with this family. I was the one with a rough childhood and had no reason to have social skills but these two take the cake. One old witch and they forgot how to make small conversation. Fine, I'll take the lead.

"Hey Sabine. Nice to see you away from a salt circle." I joked as I sat across from her patting my dad on the arm hoping it would work to calm his panic.

"I agree. I am glad you made it out of it ok." She bowed her head slightly. "How is your spirit wolf doing? Any issues between her and your physical wolf?"

"She is still sleeping and getting stronger. Moonlight has been watching over her." Britt returned with a tray overflowing with food and my coffee taking the seat on the other side of Jackson. "I think they will along fine, maybe too good. I argue with myself and Moonlight enough. Adding in a second opinion is gonna be rough."

"I agree. Sundance is very opinionated." She gave a nervous laugh and moved her hands into her lap. "Sorry if that is too much food. I couldn't remember what you like so I just got a bit of everything."

I laughed completely understanding how when your nerves take over you are practically useless on anything else. I had been there many times even recently. So I just pushed it to the middle of the table and told everyone to dig in. Dad didn't hesitate to try to take the loaded pizza but Sabine beat him to it. I liked her already.

"So... you want to hear some stories about your mother?" Sabine asked after demolishing the pizza slice in three bites.

"Yes!" Britt squeaked loudly before I could finish my food. I just had to nod in agreement.

"Brittany!" Jackson growled lowly giving her a warning to stop acting foolish. "Calm down, please."

Brittany rolled her eyes but nodded to please Dad. I was barely able to stop myself from saying something. It wasn't like she interrupted her or anything. She was just excited to hear about our mom since he doesn't tell us anything. I have barely heard one story from him about her and I had to force it out of him.

"Well the first time I met her is when she saved my ass after a foolish decision." She shook her head with a small laugh. "My coven was right outside her packs property. My family told us the rules over and over about crossing the border and our immediate death but none of us really paid attention to anything they said. One night when I was about ten I was dared to cross the border and I never back down. One of the warriors, her brother, caught me and started to drag me up to the dungeons. I didn't have my full power then so my fighting and spells barely did anything but slow him down a bit. She came out of nowhere and knocked her brother in the back of the head with who knows what knocking him out. She then picked me up and carried me back to my side of the border. We never said anything even after she ran off but every night we started meeting at the border to talk and just hang out. I was the first to meet her wolf, Treasure, and she was magnificent."

I was in shock. My mother, who was already a hero for giving birth to two crazy girls, marrying my dad and moving to live with the royals, and putting up with crap parents, saved a girls booty after a shit dare and became besties with her. I couldn't wait to hear more about her.

"That is amazing." Britt exclaimed in excitement. "Did they ever figure out it was her?"

"Nope and that was a good thing." She shook her head. "She could beat him in human or wolf form anyways. This one time..."

She went on to tell us so many stories making me feel closer to her. Britts face showed me she had been wanting this for so long. Dad's tear covered face was the hardest to handle but he had grabbed my hand and squeezed. I knew then this was good for all of us.
