KarinaWas I upset? Yes.However, it didn't stop me from moving down to take dinner with them. It took a longer while for me to go while Levi still hadn't gone to sleep, but 30 minutes past the time, I was already there.The dining was silent with only Connor and his mother present. Silence filled the dinner table as we ate and Connor didn't say anything or even look my way.Funny, considering that he had plenty to say that afternoon.I left as soon as I was done.So far, the place didn't seem too bad.I found my way back into the Pack house early in the morning, this time with Levi in my arms. Her caring nature for Levi had me slightly swayed to her side, despite the overall caution I still had but I simply wanted to stay near my baby.Nobody was present. Even Connor hadn't left the place before I did. It was something that I did whenever I was feeling more adventurous during my time travelling; scoping out the place.It helped me get more familiar so I could adapt easier. Although i

KarinaIt took moments for me to escape my trance after watching him leave. I shook my head slightly, looking towards the direction he'd instructed me.In a matter of hours I was going to have to face the entire pack, which solely from my vantage point seemed large enough already, just as large as the Rogue pack And they'll have eyes on me and my son.Shutting my eyes tightly I took in a breath. There was no time to waste then.I followed his directions all the way to the exit door with no hitches. There was nobody that saw me as I slipped out of the pack house into the bright forest. I found my way back into the house easily entering my room.I needed to prepare for the introduction. It would be my first official impression of the pack after all.In contrast however, Germaine growled within me.‘If they try to attack us…’ she said within me, a mix of caution in her tone.I merely smiled in return, shaking my head.‘It doesn't matter how they see us.’ I told her.I might not be stay

ConnorI stared blankly at the door, the silence taunting me even more.All her words had struck me to the heart. I didn't even know how or when she gained every bit of that information. Has someone told her or was it that she was able to read me so well?Did any of it matter now?My fists were unclenched, lax against my sides yet every felt heavy. All the emotions weighed on me. Anger, regret…Shame.This was far worse than the last time, more grievous compared to the last blunder I made. a blunder which I hadn't even apologised for yet.I intended to do so earlier that morning alongside telling her about the Pack announcement she had to prepare for. After my talk with Ralph and Ethan, I knew there was no more time to waste. No more hiding. It was a more pleasant bonus that I could use the news as an avenue to talk to her.I had woken up early knocking on her door and waiting for almost half an hour. It took the unending silence to finally try opening the door only to see the empty s

Karina.I clenched my jaw, fixing my gaze on the window and nothing else. Even though I cradled Levi, an action that brought me happiness, the weight in my heart still hadn't waned. That was how it had been for the past week. I had spent most of my days avoiding Connor at every turn. Every opportunity I had to avoid him, I took with relish. From avoiding his gaze and outright passing by him like he was air, to hiding in his presence. I kept my for locked at every instance, whether I was inside or not. Everytime he dared try knocking on my door I kept silent. Every the tried to speak to me, I would glare at him until he was silent before making my getaway.He did say once that all I did was run. Wasn't he going to be happy to be proven right?I scoffed to myself at the thought. I was being too sarcastic and harsh and I knew it.I knew that I was also harsh that day and my instinctive drive to attack had gotten the best of me. My insults, no matter how true or not they were, hit him h

59KarinaMy walk back home was silent as I processed his words.I had also insulted him, said hurtful words and was being inconsiderate to him.Yet he was being patient with me.I ground my teeth against each other, the familiar bittersweet feeling of guilt flowing in me along with something different.He was still Levi's father.I barely got out of my head to find the white door I was about to bump into. I arrived home earlier than I thought or maybe time simply flew by earlier.Entering the house I found the living room empty but heard noises and instantly knew where it was coming from. Placing Levi on one of the couches I moved towards the kitchens where just as I guessed, Connors mother was.“There's no need to help Dana.” She called out. Her back was towards me meaning that she hadn't seen me. “It's Karina.” I said. She instantly dropped what she was doing to face me. The surprise on her face instantly reverted to a gentle smile.“Hello there.” she greeted “Where’s my grandson?”
