I looked at my schedule for combat training. Even on vacation, other warriors were willing to pay me $1,000 for each session.
I could do video coaching sessions from my fancy beach suite. Why waste time when you could be making money?
I got a call from the pack Beta after two training sessions.
“Your family is making a scene at pack headquarters. They’re asking for money right away.”
“That’s not my problem anymore.”
“Your family is telling everyone you left them. Diane is crying because her trip was ruined.”
“The trip my parents promised her with my money?”
The Beta let out a sigh. “This is getting out of hand. Your parents’ reputation is going down.”
“Good. They might learn to live within their means.”
I got a text from my bank saying that my parents had tried to get into my personal accounts.
They had also tried to take the office building that Alpha gave me and make it their own.
My wolf roared in anger.
I called my lawyer right away and said, “I need a restraining order.” And begin the paperwork for ending a family relationship.
After that, I called the pack’s most powerful female warrior.
“Lucy, do you remember when you said you owed me for saving your life in battle? I need your help.
“Anything.”
“I’m going to end my family relationship. When I come back, I’ll need protection. My parents won’t like it.
Lucy growled, “They make $3,000 a month, but they bought a $50,000 necklace for a random woman?” While making plans for their daughter to sleep in the freezing snow? I’ll get my best fighters together. Nobody will touch you.
Word spread quickly among the women in the pack.
Twelve wolf warriors had offered to protect me by nightfall.
They were all people I had fought with before. They knew what I had done for the pack.
George sent me a text that said, “Please talk to me.” I’ve been trying to get in touch with you through our friendship. “I made a big mistake.”
I deleted it without responding. A real friend would never have done what he did to me.
Diane started posting dramatic things on social media:
“Real family never leaves each other… Some people don’t deserve to be close to family… “Parents need a daughter who is there for them.”
My parents’ pack status dropped a lot, and other warriors openly made fun of them.
What kind of parents spend their daughter’s money on expensive gifts for someone who just got back?
I let myself relax and enjoy the beach spa and room service.
I hadn’t had a break since moving in with my family because I was always fighting and taking care of things.
I had never felt so free before.
From now on, I would live by myself.
A strange mind-link connected to me after two weeks of living in luxury.
My parents’ angry voices filled my head before I could do anything.
“You have some nerve getting the whole pack to turn against us!” What are you trying to show? Do you think you’re above the law of the pack?”Nothing important? “I’m going to hang up.”
“Hold on! We still have work to do! We’ve been back for three days. Where are you?”
“Still playing.” “Need more time.”
“Two weeks isn’t enough?” What time do you plan to come back?”
“Two months should be enough. I’ll be back then.
My parents growled through the link, “Are you crazy? Who’s going to pay for Robert’s private school? Who is in charge of his college applications? And the money—how much have you thrown away? Come back now!”
“Money is mine, so I get to choose. Don’t waste your breath. “I won’t come back until I’m ready.”
“What will happen to Robert in the future? Are you leaving him?”
“I’m his sister, not his mum!” I don’t have to do anything. He said I wasn’t paying enough attention to him, but now he doesn’t have to worry about that.
“His tuition of $50,000 is due next week!” The school has called three times!”
