CHAPTER SEVEN

A woman in a tie-dyed maxi dress, stepped onto the porch as Axel and I walked up the front walk. The house was a mirror image of Krista's place, except it was yellow instead of blue.

I stepped up onto the porch and held out my hand. “I'm Julie.”

I try not to stereotype or make assumptions, but the woman was dressed in tie-dye, with flowers in her hair and a tiny stud nose ring, she had delicate features, short dark hair, and enormous blue eyes, and I assumed she'd be the laid-back flower child type. She grasped my hand in her own, squeezing hard enough to hurt, and shook. “You're an idiot is what you are.”

I looked back over my shoulder at Axel, who smirked. Was that whole thing about setting me free to see if I'd come back a joke? Had he known Lucinda would be like this. “I'm sorry,” I said. “Have we met?”

“You want to live with me, rather than stay with Axel, right?”

“I've only known him a few days. It doesn't seem unreasonable to want a place of my own.”

She sniffed, her tiny nose wrinkling in an adorable way. “This is my place. You want your own place, you should talk to Herbert and have him build you one.”

“Luce,” Axel said. “Like I told you, I've already talked to Herbert and he's going to work on it.”

I glanced back at Axel again, more than a little annoyed. He chuckled. Damn him. “He's not going to build anything until he talks to you about what you want, Julie.” He stuck his hands in his pockets and turned to go, leaving my suitcase on the porch. “I'll see you at three. At the barn.”

I turned back to Lucinda. “Herbert's building me a place. Can I stay here for a bit?”

She sniffed again. “You can stay until Brooke gets back, but not a moment longer. I don't care if Herbert's done or not, you'll have to find somewhere else to stay.”

“That won't be a problem,” I said, even though I suspected it might be a huge problem.

Lucinda narrowed her eyes like she knew I was full of shit, but she opened the door and gestured me inside. “I like a clean house and I don't cook for anyone. You want to eat, buy your own food and cook it yourself. If you make a mess, steal my food, or make too much noise I will send you back to Axel.” She glared at me over her shoulder. “I don't care if he is the alpha, I'll send you back.” She couldn't be that much older than me, but she acted like she was my superior in every way.

The house was impeccably clean. So clean there were no pictures on the walls and no knick-knacks on the tables, not that there were a lot of tables or available spaces for knick-knacks.

“I understand,” I said. “I'm exhausted and I really just want a place to sleep.”

“This way.” She led me through the narrow house and pointed out a room with a twin bed and not much else.
