His car was in the drive when I got dropped off so I knew he was home or at least that's what I thought. Walking up the front path I went to chap the door but it was pulled open. Alanna. "They're going to make him go home aren't they?". She had been crying, I could tell by the puffiness around her eyes.

"He won't go". I sidestepped her through the door closing it behind me. "And they can't make him do anything". Could they? Carter was a grown man he made his own decision. "If he doesn't go he'll be banished from his own pack".

"You're kidding right?". Taking a seat on the couch I kicked off my shoes. "That's ridiculous".

"I don't want to leave my home but I can't make him go through with it". She sat down beside me a fresh set of tears rolling down her cheeks. She made a face before wiping away her tears.

"Smell like what?". I frowned.

"You smell-...". She grabbed a strand of my hair before inhaling deeply. "You need to go shower now". She was pulling me off the couch.

"What the hell?". I huffed pulling my hand out of hers. I didn't know whether to be offended or not. I didn't smell.

"You stink of them". Her eyes slanted as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"What are you-... Oh"......

"You have to be careful Leah. You aren't mated yet and the last thing you want is Jake out of control".

"I went for breakfast with my aunt that's it". It wasn't my fault that Rocco turned up or that his sister worked there.

"Just don't get too close. My dad and Jake haven't decided if they can stay yet".

"What happened at the pack meeting?".

"They couldn't come to a decision so we'll wait for the next meeting and see what my dad decides. I doubt he'll let them stay though. You want coffee?". "Yeah. Do you really think they're here to cause trouble?". I wasn't sure if Rocco was bluffing or not about what he said. I certainly wasn't fair game. "They haven't yet but who knows. They're not part of a pack for a reason and until we find that out we can't trust them".

"And what if they live in the town over?".

"They'll be free to do so just as long as they don't come into our territory".

"But the school is on this side". I frowned.

"Sounds to me like you want them here". She passed me my coffee.

"Maybe they just want a fresh start?".
