People teased me for days after my accidental intoxication. It was all good natured, but I wasn’t used to it, so it was still uncomfortable for me. Not enough to say anything, but a bit like being dropped in the deep end of having friends, whereas I was new to it. That was why I’d arrived later than normal for the second morning delivery on New Year’s Eve and to meet Seth for breakfast.
But when I saw who was there at the main building, I wished I’d driven the ATV towards Mexico or Canada and risked getting eaten by zakasacs.
“I’m telling you there’s been a mistake,” my father’s wife, Sara Lindsey, told Alexander with her syrupy sweet voice. “I’m so sorry you’ve been burdened with him, but he wasn’t supposed to come here.”
I almost crashed into the SUV parked there that had probably brought the visitors and my nightmare. I slammed on the brakes in time but drew attention to myself. My heart thundered in my ears as I glanced from the scene there to the ATV, wanting to put it in reverse and flee. There was no way they wouldn’t recognize me since I was wearing jeans, sweater, and sneakers, over dressing like a girl now that I knew it wasn’t needed.
There might be times of skirts and tights since Seth liked them and I enjoyed a bit of makeup, but Alexis had helped me to see I was using too much of it before. Either way, I had just become comfortable enough, felt safe enough to stop hiding.
Apparently it was too soon.
And as always, my father’s wife had drawn a crowd, as she loved the attention and fed off the drama.
“A dog that bites their master needs to learn their place and receive stricter discipline,” my half brother said quietly as he turned off the ATV and took the keys.
For some reason that was the wrong thing to say in that moment, and something snapped deep inside of me and I lost my mind for a moment. “I’m your brother, not your dog. I know you think everything is yours, but this is mine, Davin.” I snatched back the keys to his shock and tucked them in my pocket.
“Oh, there he is,” Sara sang. “Good, now we can straighten this out and get home before the big party.”
“Do you need me to cook for it so you can throw my food back at me and humiliate me?” I snapped, the temper I didn’t know I have fully cracking. “I’m not going anywhere with you. You’re not my family. You’re nothing to me. How do you think you get a say in anything?”
Her eyes flashed shock and rage before she schooled it, remembering the audience. “I’m the Orlando coven leader’s wife, and you’ll remember that, Jayme.”
“I’m not part of that coven anymore,” I sneered. “I got free. You can’t make me go back.”
She flashed that brilliant, bitchy smile. “Oh, but we can. There were some charges brought against you. Theft ones to start with.
