Chapter 14 - Diana

I rushed through the front door while Dad made his way down the stairs. He eyed me suspiciously, and I shook the bottle of wine I had in hand. It was wine specifically made for wolves, but it wasn’t the potent kind.

His eyes lit up, and I darted into the living room and then the kitchen. The wine was a luxury for us and something I hadn’t had in ages.

“How about we have some wine tonight?” I called out while setting the bottle on the counter.

When I turned the radio on, and to its highest volume Dad scrunched up his nose. I laid a finger to my lips to shush him because I didn’t want to risk being heard with what I had to tell him.

Colin was watching me, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he had someone close by listening in, or maybe the house itself was bugged. At this stage, I wouldn’t put any of it beyond him.

“I figured we could celebrate properly, you know, with our new jobs and all.” I opened the wine while Dad continued to watch me with confusion.

“Yeah, that’s a good idea,” he drawled. “But we shouldn’t go overboard with spending, Diana.”

I pointed towards the living room while pouring two glasses. “I know, but it’s a cheap bottle, and I thought why not. I have a job, so do you and we’re in our old house and town. Sit, drink, and I’ll be right back. I’m going to use the bathroom.”

Colin’s hatred for my father was ugly, and Dad’s suffering was one of Colin’s top priorities. Jackson’s argument with Silverdawn Pack members and him starting trouble in town wasn’t something I saw stopping until it got out of hand.

I didn’t want to wait until we were on the verge of being kicked out of town again.

“Where is this coming from?” Dad asked.

“I know you love this pack, Dad, it’s in your blood, but we don’t have a place here and never will,” I replied, and he stepped back to lean against the wall while I sat on the closed toilet. “Jackson’s next in line to be Alpha, and I really don’t want to imagine the shit job he’s going to do. You don’t owe this pack anything, Dad. I hope you know that, but they owe you everything. You stood up for all of them, and they turned their back on you, on us.”

I recalled the night of the fight between Dad and Colin and
