Chapter Fourteen

It hadn’t made everything better, but, as always when it came to sex with Jace, it certainly helped her get a decent night’s sleep.

In the morning, he headed to the big house to have breakfast with his family and to tell them what had happened, and she drove over to her parents’ place where she’d asked Miz Rose to meet them.

Her mother answered the door and by the look on her face, she’d had a call already.

“I think you have some stuff to tell us, huh?”

“I didn’t say anything last night because I didn’t want him upset before bed,” she said to her mother quietly. “And because,” she sighed, “I just didn’t have anything left to deal with it last night and it would have ruined your sleep and I just couldn’t.”

“Okay. I understand. But we worry about you. Next time, just tell me.”

“Stop whispering in there!” her dad called out from the kitchen.

Her mom rolled her eyes and led Katie Faith through to where her dad, Miz Rose and TeeFay already waited.

Katie Faith simply launched into the story, not wasting any time, editing it the best she could to give her parents the information but keep her dad calm.

By the end though, he was red faced and clearly pissed off. Katie Faith snuck looks at her mom to follow her lead on how to proceed with this.

“Maybe you could all fill me in on some history. Miz Rose, you’ve said this situation has been going on for decades now. What do you mean specifically?”

She had a hard time believing that if she went to Jace with the facts, he’d listen to reason. But she needed to understand all the facts better first.

“Yvonne Johnstone.”

Yvonne was one of the Pembry elders by marriage. Goodness knew all the ways they were kin to one another, but she was a witch married to someone in Darrell’s granddad’s generation.

“One of the first witches from my generation to essentially be traded off to the wolves in what they call a dynastic sense. She’d been set to marry a witch, and after a meeting between her parents and the parents of a werewolf she ended up engaged to him. Her dad got more business and the pack got themselves a witch.”

Katie Faith looked to her mom. “Momma! I can’t believe no one ever told me this story.”

To be fair, every time she’d ever seen Yvonne and Dean together they seemed happy. Their kids, unlike Darrell and some of his brothers, made Katie Faith believe not all Pembry wolves were elitist jerks.

But they were a powerful family in the pack. Yvonne’s magic most surely was one of the reasons. Having a witch in your pack, especially a powerful one meant your alphas could change forms far more quickly. It meant you could manage your own hunting ground and family.

She’d always considered it a beautiful sort of synchronicity, but this was something else entirely.

“I know we’re up here in the woods and all, but this is Middle Ages stuff,” she told her parents.
