Chapter 8

My brother couldn't have meant all he said to me in my room. He must have said those things to get me further scared of having anything to do with any man until I have my mate.

All through the drive to the pack, I sat quietly in the car, replaying his words in my head. Thankfully, he was in another vehicle with June. He always traveled with his driver and a small convoy for security reasons.

He was becoming even more protective.

“27th, Kasmine. 27th of August..." I kept reassuring myself every day since my life became a misery.

"I'm already running late, mum. It's almost ten," I said to my mum when we arrived at the packhouse.

I didn't miss the subtle glare Kester shut my way, but I ignored him.

"You'll be back in time to have lunch before you leave, right?" She asked, patting

my head lovingly as she planted a small kiss on my forehead.

I narrowed my brows. What was she talking about?

"I'll be staying the weekend, mum. Remember?" I stated with an eye roll.

"No, you're not," I heard Kester say from my side. I turned my attention to him, a subtle frown of confusion on my face.

"What?" I asked, hoping I didn't hear him correctly.

"We are going back home tonight," He announced like he owned my fucking life.

"Babe? Why? I thought we were staying the weekend. I brought everything I'd be needing..." June was saying, but Kester coldly cut her off.

"I changed my mind. We are going back tonight. I have some pressing matters I'd like to attend to," He emphasized, and I looked at my mum, waiting for her to say something.

Why wasn't she saying anything?

"Then you'll go. I'll return after the weekend," I glared at him.
