Chapter 37

I woke up to an empty house. That seemed to be a constant after every warming midnight moment I woke up alone.

**I left some breakfast in the microwave. **

“Good morning.

**Good morning Annette. **

I walked down the stairs and wandered into the cold kitchen opening the microwave. Sausage and scrambled eggs, one

of my favorites.

“How did you know?

We can see into each other’s minds

“Thats cheating

**Noted

I chuckled to myself as I started the microwave and made some coffee for myself. It wasn’t that early like our normal days so the sun streaked into the room from the many windows.

“Anna?” I turned to see my youngest brother groggily walking down the stairs.

“James, you hungry?” I asked him heading to the fridge.

“No,” he sniffled, shaking his head waking up a little. “Your mate packs one hell of a punch,”

Guilt swam through my veins. “Are you okay,”

“Yes,” the bite in his voice told me to back off. “I don’t understand how you’re so eager to stay,” he confessed grabbing

coffee.

“He’s my mate,”

“He’s a bit of an asshole, especially to you,” James sluggishly sat down.

“James it’s all different now Grayson took me as his mate and we’re bound,” I tried to reason with this hasty James.

“Like that matters, he doesn’t seem to have any respect for you. Anna tell me you’re not dim witted enough to trust him so easily,” James snapped.

“James!” Charlie shouted behind us.

I spun and through watery eyes looked at my family that seemed as upset as I was at James sudden outburst.

“I just said what she needed to hear,” James crossed his arms.

“James I’m happy I like my life here,” I start to plead my case.

“How were we raised by the same parents? Where the fuck is my sister becuase this crying mess of a person isn’t her,” He spat at me another blow landing in my gut at his viscous venomous words.

**I’m going to kill him.

“No!” I called to Grayson.

“James you have no right to act this way apologize,” Charlie commanded.

“Do you need a lesson in manners baby brother?” Theo snarked at him.

**You are not only his sister but a Luna of the Northern Ecl*pse pack. His disrespect and brutal remarks would get him beaten anywhere else. **
