Chapter 0448

Blair

"You want me to walk Kade to school?"

"Please don't talk with your mouth full." Mum scolds me. "But yes."

"Isn't the school like two hundred feet from here. You could watch him from the window."

"I could, but the entrance is around the other side."

"I'm not allowed to leave the house unless I'm being watched."

"Maddie has agreed to watch you from afar. All you have to do is walk him there, make sure

he goes inside and come straight back. I would but Braelyn has been awake most of the night. I need to get her to settle."

"Okay." I agree, only so I can try and find out what is going on with the little brat.

"Thank you."

Kade stares at me as he pulls his bag onto his back and even without my Lycan I can see that he hates the idea.

"I'm not a baby." He snarls at me

"Then maybe you should tell mum, because she asked me to walk you."

"Only because my stupid sister was up all night."

"HEY!" I snap at him and he actually seems surprised. "Braelyn is a baby. She cannot tell anyone what is hurting or if she wants something. Maybe you will realise one day that we all have bad days, no matter how old we are."

"Whatever."

We leave the house and immediately he kicks over one of mum's plants. Stamping it into the ground.

"You say you are not a baby but you are certainly acting like one."

"Fuck off!" He glares at me and even I'm shocked. He turns eight tomorrow, not eighteen... "Are you serious right now?" I fold my arms across my chest and he copies me.
