The last week of staying with the Bloodmoon pack has been weird . Even after my parents stopped forcing me to rest . They hardly let me go out alone . On one hand , I appreciated what they were doing . On the other hand , it showed just how helpless and useless I am . Seeing as that was the reason to get rejected it still stung a bit . Now it was 2 AM and Theo , James , Jessa Silver , Kate , Tim and I were heading to the airport . Dad was adamant about bringing us . He said it would be stupid to pay a lot for airport parking when he could drive us . Admitting he would like to see of his little girls too . The Silver of course are aware of the fact that neither of us is going back . Jessa is sad to see me go but she understands why I have to . Unlike David she is a real friend and she supports my de- cision even if it makes her sad . " Cheer up Buttercup , we're visiting the White Oak pack first . So who knows maybe you will find your mate there . " Jessa's Dad James jokes . I would love for Jessa to find a mate in the White Oak pack . The chances of that happening are slim though . Still , it is a nice thing to daydream about . Living in the same pack as Jessa for the rest of our lives would be the dream . For now , I am just happy to see the rest of my family again . I asked my parents not to tell them about the beatings . They need to know since I am not officially moving into their pack . I just wanted to be the one to tell them . Maybe just tell them Alpha Phillip did not give permission . But that the teasing and seeing my former mate every day was too painful for me . The only problem with that was it meant lying to my family and I would hate to . For now , I have a 5 - hour flight ahead of me to think about it . Since we would stay a night at the White Oak pack be- fore going on one one - day road trip to the Cresent Moon pack . After Dad kept hugging us , over and over again he made Tim promise him he would take good care of Kate . Tim guaranteed Dad he would . He said he would see them soon as they would be at the housewarming after Tim and Kate found their own place within the Cresent Moon pack . Once we boarded the plane Tim's smile faded and he was plucking on some invisible piece of fluff on the armrest of his chair . Kate was fast asleep as he always was on the flight to the White Oak pack . " Are you scared of flying Tim " I whisper . In the past few days , I got to know Tim a lot better and he was a good guy . Who adored my sister , which made me love him more . So I wanted to comfort him now . " No , I've flown before . It's just even among people like us your family is known for being close - knit " He had to be careful not to give away too much in a plane surrounded by humans . Even like this , I knew what he was telling me . He wanted to make an impression on my Grandparents , Uncles , Aunts , and cousins . Not to mention all the friends that felt like family . Grandma had requested for us to stop by the White Oak pack before . No doubt because she was excited to meet Kate's mate . For the first years of her life , she lived as a human , and meeting Grandpa saved her in more ways than one . Or that is what she will always tell us . Even now years later she loves newly mated cou- ples . All her grandchildren knew that she would want to see our mates as soon as possible . Their mates , because my mate didn't want me , trying not to get lost in those negative thoughts again I turned to Tim once more . " Don't worry they will all love you , Grandma is just a hopeless romantic who wants to see all her grandchildren - in- 0.0 % 10:42 law as soon as possible . Tim visibly relaxes , looking at Kate with a tender gaze . I hate this still gets to me . I really am over David . I would not as much as see him as even an acquaintance after he begged me for forgiveness . Mom told me she thinks I didn't take enough time to mourn the loss of a mate . I disagree I didn't lose my mate he rejected me. Sure I had to say goodbye to an idea , a dream I had since I was a little girl . But I had to let more dreams go like the one to be a famous author . Be- ing a werewolf means I can never be famous . It would be too risky . Not wanting to think about all of this any longer I pulled out my earbuds and a book . *** Tim was surprised I spent the whole flight reading , he was still talking about that when we walked into the arrival hall . " You're a part of the family now , so better get used to the fact that this one lives in her books " ecognize everywhere . I whirled around to find my grandparents smiling at us . Like we had done walk I ran over to him . He opened his arms catching me as I jumped up spinning me around . Hu- ways look at us funny . Grandpa may be seventy - five werewolves age differently , to most humans he st look a little over forty . We never cared , it was the only time we weren't extra cautious . Grandma was hugging Kate , and the second my feet hit the floor again she pulled me in for a hug . While Grandpa hugged Kate , they both gave Tim a warm welcome , as they did the Silver whom they already knew from visits to the BloodMoon pack . " Come on let's go home , Aunt Katrina has made preparations for a family lunch . Just us , because there is a lot we need to talk about " Her strict look made me decide to be honest with them . They clearly knew something was up , so lying to them had no use . In fact , it would make things worse . " And you know I couldn't stop them from hosting a party for the whole pack . Uncle Cedric made sure it was some- thing lowkey . No need to dress up " Grandma finished squeezing my hand . thing would be okay . Sure my family would be pissed off with Alpha Phillip , David , and Hannah . the plan and the pack loved me . And I loved them not just my family , no every member of the h they all felt like a family by now . W by at the Pack , my pack had flown by . As did the three days I spent at the Cresent Moon pack . They ere very warm and welcoming not just of Kate but of the rest of us too . It might have been a good pack but I could tell it was a good pack . Warm and loving Kate would thrive here as one of the pack's best warriors . Now I was head- ed up to Grandma and Grandpa's cottage . Ever the romantic Grandma hadn't given up the idea of me finding true love . She mind - linked me that she wanted to talk about the royal ball before dinner . She probably was upset I didn't get a special dress . Like Dad told me to , I had bought some new clothes one of them being a simple black dress . One you could wear to most occasions , including a royal ball . Grandmother had clearly not agreed with the last notion . When I kno ndpa who opens the door telling me to just go upstairs to their bedroom . Wh ndma there with a beautiful gold dress on a mannequin . I've seen the dress in pictures and it is when Grandpa introduced her as his Luna to the rest of the pack . Officially that is as she had been ck for some time by then . 10:42 288 Vouchers " You're roughly the same size as I am . So I want you to have this dress . You're hiding yourself in that black thing . " She says her face twisting in disgust like it's the worst dress anyone has ever worn . I want to tell her I am hiding because I know the Prince will never choose the runt of the pack as his mate . Raising her hand Grandma hushes me before I even start talking . " If not to find a mate , then to show the other she - wolves especially those of your old pack . You are a queen in your own rights . And I would love to see this dress get used one last time . So what do you say " She asks me with what I can only describe as puppydog eyes . Title: Actress' Revenge In "Actress' Revenge" by CrushReel, delve into a tale of betrayal and resilience.
