Chapter Eighty–Seven
I held up my hands in mock surrender. “I told you It might have been a mixture of Shannon’s scent and my own mixing.” I shrugged my shoulder and turned back to the stairs. I gave a small wave. “I’m going to head up to my room now, unless there is anything else?” I looked over my shoulder and walted. But my mother waved me off.
I made my escape with my suitcases, with Lynn trailing behind me. I stopped in the spare bedroom and opened the door. Lynn looked at me. “Me?”
“Yeah. This is you.” I pointed to the far side of the room. “hat’s the bathroom. But yeah, this is your room while you’re here.”
“Thank you.” Lynn dropped her suitcase and stared at me expectantly.
“What?” I stared at her with a confused look, but she still stared at me.
“Take me to your room.” Lynn lifted her arm, gesturing me to continue, but I was still confused.
“Why?” Now we were both frozen, staring at each other.
“Because when I’m here, my job is to protect you.” Lynn slowly answered as she stared at me. “Remember…”
“Yeah…” That clicked nothing for me. I was still staring at her when she closed her eyes.
“You don’t have to stand here and insult me, Amy.” Lynn’s eyes grew angry. But I raised my hands in mock surrender.
“Wait a second, I’m not insulting you. Im genuinely confused.” Lynn’s eyes flashed back to confused.
“I need to know where your room is so that I can watch it. Keep track of you when you are in it. Watch the area when you are out.” Lynn leaned against her door frame. “I’d honestly like a full tour where I see inside every room so I can make a menta map of the entire house.”
“Oh my goddess. Of course. Come on.” I felt stupid, and I deserved to. Of course, she would need to get the full tour. “Come on.” I brought her around the house, showing her all the rooms. Once we were done upstairs and my bags were securely back in my room, we headed back down the stairs. Thankfully, everyone was gone except my mother. “Everyone left?”
My mother snorted. “After you two went upstairs, Alpha Vince started to ‘talk‘ to Brandon. They headed out the door, and Morgan and Shannon went with them, following the two like lost puppies.” My mother washed another dish as she shook her head.
“Mom, let’s leave.” I walked into the kitchen and Lynn followed. “We can just transfer to a new pack. You didn’t need permission to leave dad’s pack and we don’t need Vince’s. We can handle the divorce later.” I had tried this a million times, but I hoped this time would be different.
My mother froze, and I watched her close her eyes slowly, almost painfully. “We can’t.”
“We can!”
She turned to face me and I could see the barely held in pain. “We can’t. You haven’t shifted yet. And even if you did, you would have to do it in front of the pack to prove you have. Until that happens, we are stuck.”
“But-
“We’re back.” Morgan called from the front as he opened the door. I watched as my mother shivered, and I backed
down.
It wasn’t time to tell her I can shift. I would have to do it in front of the pack first before she would even

considerate: I looked back to Lynn, and she had a look in her eyes that made the want to question what she was thinking. She was staring at my mom with this look on her face; she had thought of something, but Morgant walked in and her look vanished.
My mother straightened her shoulders and smiled. “Hey honey.”
I wanted to puke. This was a mess and now that I knew the truth all around, I wanted to save my parents from their own idiocy.
“Hey babe.” Morgan cut his eyes to me and his eyes turned cy, “What were you all talking about in here?” His tone was carefree and open, but his eyes told another story
“We were talking about my summer with dad.” I smiled. “So much happened. It was an exciting and productive
summer.
“Productive?” His tone shifted.
“Yeah. I was telling mom 1 restarted her female training course. And Cass mated the second Gamma, Greyson. “Is that why you brought…I’m sorry dear, I never caught your name.” Morgan walked over and held out his hand to Lynn. I gritted my teeth because he was full of shit. My mom cut her eyes to me and subtly shook her head. “Lynn, Beth Morgan. I’m Gamma Lynn. And yes, that is why I came here. I heard your new Gamma is still mateless. Now that the second Gamma is mated, I was free to search for my mate.” Lynn smiled.
