“I don’t want to talk about it, I just want to get out of here.” I was on the verge of tears when I answered her.

“Rivi are you ok?” Cedar asked as we came running up to them.

“Astro what happened?” Paul asked me. I just shook my head.

“I need to get out of here.” They could see the fear in my eyes and hear the tears that threatened to spill into my voice.

“Let’s go.” Paul said, grabbing Juniper’s hand.

We made our way to the car as quick as we could. I slid into the front seat next to Cedar, Paul, and Juniper in the back. Cedar backed out of the spot he had parked in and hurried down the drive. He went a little faster than he should have, but honestly, I wanted him to go faster.

By the time we reached my house none of us had said a word. We made the entire drive in silence. I could not bring myself to tell them what happened. And if the alpha were to blame me for what happened in the forest, I may never see them again. But still, I could not tell them what happened.

“Will you be alright?” Juniper asked me. I shrugged my shoulders in response.

“I’m not going to press you for details, not yet, but when you’re ready, we will all be here to listen. You hear that Astro.” Paul told me. I nodded.

“I’m worried about you Rivi, but I want you to know that we are all here for you.” Cedar added. I smiled at all of them.

“Thank you, guys. And I am sorry for ruining your night.”

“You’re more important than some party.” Cedar promised me.

“Yeah, what’s a party when it comes to taking care of your friends?” Paul smiled at me.

“Call me when you’re ready, ok Rivi.” Juniper implored, smiling. I was nearly crying from their kindness when I got out of the car. I was scared out of my mind, but I was so glad to have such great friends.

“Riviana, what’s wrong?” Aunt Eve asked me as soon as I was inside, her green eyes opened wide in shock.

“Did something happen?” Uncle Wesley added, his dark brown eyes mirroring the shock in Eve’s eyes. Wesley with his dark brown hair like my own, and Eve’s hair that was a much lighter and softer brown, like chestnut, the sight of them was warm and comforting, they were home to me. I felt safer near them.

“Did someone do something to you?” Aunt Eve asked.

“No, nothing like that.” I assured them. “But the party just wasn’t for me.” I told them.

“You look scared and on the verge of tears.” Aunt Eve noted.

“That looks like more than the party not being for you. If someone was intentionally cruel to you, then that is unacceptable. We can lodge a complaint with the Alpha directly.”

“NO!” I shouted. “No, there is no need to involve the alpha. Everything is fine. Don’t worry. I just don’t like going to these types of things.” I grimaced at them.

“Are you sure?” Uncle Wesley asked me.

“I’m sure.” I could feel their love for me, they cared for me so much.

“Hey.” We heard a voice call from the door as we were talking. Carter seemed to have come home.

“Hey Carter, why are you home so early?”

“The party is over.” He said, shrugging his shoulders. “The alpha got really upset about something and ordered everyone to go home. It was the strangest thing.”

“Wow, I wonder what it was.” Aunt Eve asked him.

“No clue.” Carter muttered before looking at me. “What happened to you at the party?” He asked. I jumped at his question. Carter, unlike Eve and Wesley, had always been able to tell when I was lying to him. But I still didn’t want him to know what was going on.

“Everyone that Juniper introduced me to was rude and mean. They all snubbed me and made fun of me for even going to the party. It just got to be more than I can handle.”

“Those assholes.” He growled. “What makes them think that they’re any better than you are?”

“They’re wolves and I’m not.” I told him simply. It was the truth after all.

“That doesn’t matter, you’re still part of the pack.” He was so frustrated. I loved him for that, he would always defend me.

“Thank you, Carter.”

“For what.”

“Nothing.” I said as I threw my arms around him, hugging him tight. He was my rock in the pack and always seemed to calm me down. Looking up at him with his dark hair that was so like my own, like our whole family’s, and his green eyes that were closer to my shade of blue, I was reminded again how much like a brother he was to me.

“You’re being weird.” He noted. He sounded annoyed, but he hugged me back none-the-less.

“I know.” I laughed at him. “I’m tired though, I’m gonna get ready for bed.” I tried to smile at them cheerily, but I wasn’t sure if it came out that way.

I trudged up the stairs to my room. The solace I felt at being in a space that was all mine was almost enough to make me feel better. Almost. But there was still no telling what the alpha would do to me. It might be nothing. Then again, I could be banished from the pack.
