The next day
The relief I feel upon getting home is immense today. The women are all waiting out front of the house when I return from the registry after filling out the paperwork for each pack member last night. They've already set up preparing for dinner. Tables are set up and chairs placed out already. As I walk up the steps, Sondra is sitting in her rocking chair.
“Nope.” She points back to the women waiting. She refuses to let me enter the house until I let them submit to me, and I have fed them my blood.
They wanted to do it last night when I returned home, but I only cared about getting home to the boys.
When I am done, I am about to put the goblet down on the table when I turn to find my mother. She grabs my hands in hers, and Luke comes to stand beside her.
“Mom?”
