“Yeah, today is an absolute scorcher. I wonder how hot it is” Angie asks as we walk into the cafe. The little bell ringing above the door as we enter and I find the place is pretty full. We managed to find a table in the far corner but weren’t too excited about being near the toilet.
“Ah gross but I am not sitting in the heat” Angie says, dumping her wallet on the table and sitting down.
“We could always go swimming at the river near your place instead of watching movies” Jasmines suggests and I nod, it was definitely hot enough. I slide along the booth seat and a woman in her mid twenties comes over with a smile that looked like it was a customer service one not a genuine one, don’t blame her the last place i would want to work in 40 degree heat would be around a kitchen.
She took our orders before wandering back off and we sat and talked and it felt good being out of the packhouse.
While eating our lunch though the bell above the door opened and a familiar scent hit my nose making me look up and see my parents walk into the cafe.
“Maybe it isn’t too late to fix things after all” Jasmine says, nudging me with her elbow. My mother sniffs the air before looking around and her eyes fall on us in the back corner. She smiles brightly before touching my fathers arm and pointing us out and she walks over to us.
“Hey girls” My mother says and Jasmine drags her food to the other side and we all slide over and my mother sits down.
“Hey ma” I tell her standing up and leaning over the table to give her a kiss and hug before sitting back down. My father comes over sliding along the seat next to her.
“Girls, my pumpkin” He nods to Jasmine and Angie who both smile politely while my face turns beet red.
“I ordered for us, they said it wouldn’t take too long” My father tells my mother before stealing one of my chips.
“What are you three troublemakers up to, not going streaking again are you?” My dad asks and Jasmine giggles.
“No, but what is the go with pumpkin, Kat hates it” Jasmine asks and I shoot her a look and she shrugs.
“I bet it’s not even embarrassing” Angie says and I hoped the floor would open up and swallow me whole. My dad laughs.
“No I just think it is funny, she was only little” My dad tells her before looking at me.
“Fine you can tell them but don’t tell anyone” I tell the girls who nod.
“I promise, I will definitely tell my mate” Jasmine then says and I roll my eyes.
“When Kat was little we were decorating for halloween and hollowing out pumpkins, she was in the middle of toilet training and we left alone for a few minutes while we grabbed the rest out of the car to decorate the front verandah, came back and she went potty in the pumpkin” My mother says before she chuckles.
“That’s not so bad, why would you be embarrassed about that?” Angie chuckles.
“Oh it didn’t happen once, she refused to use the potty after and we had to constantly buy pumpkins until she was officially toilet trained, even had to cut the faces in them before she would use them, for a month all we ate was pumpkin soup so the entire pumpkin didn’t go to waste” My father tells them and I die of embarrassment.
“It’s okay Pumpkin we won’t tell a soul” Angie says tapping my shoulder with her hand.
“Except my mate” Adds Jasmine. I shake my head at them.
“So what are you girls doing afterwards?” My mother asks.
“Going swimming if you want to come?” Angie tells them.
“Where at?” My father asks.
“Back of the packhouse, just need to grab some swimmers first before we head out there” Jasmine says.
“Sounds nice, you want to go with them” My mother asks my father who nods before kissing her shoulder and I feel my lips tug up slightly.
“We can meet you out there if you want girls, so you don’t have to wait for us to finish eating” My mother tells us and I nod standing up.
“Yeah I need to swing by home and grab my swimmers anyway, and so will Angie” Jasmine says.
“Okay, say an hour and I will meet you out there?” My dad says looking at his watch.
“Sounds good, see you soon” I tell them, giving them both a kiss on the cheek and I was about to walk out when someone stepped out of the booth in front of ours and directly into my path bumping into me.
“Oh sorry” I tell them when they turn around and glare at me. Oh for the love of god. It was Ms Taylor.
“You should be” She snaps at me.
“You stepped in front of me, and I still apologised out of courtesy you rude b*tch” I tell her.
“How dare you speak to me like that, you have no right” She starts to say.
“I have every right to speak to you however I choose as your Luna. Must truly suck knowing I am the only person stopping you from being banished from this pack and you should do well to remember that, my kindness will only stretch so far Madeline. I suggest you learn your place” I tell her and my mother looks over at me, while Angie had a silly grin on her face and Jasmine pressed her lips together trying not to laugh.
“If you will excuse me” Maddeline says and I step aside for her.
‘Well you told her,’ Kora says.
‘I am just sick of being walked all over’ I tell her “See you out there girls” My mother says, sending me a wink and we leave getting back in Angie’s car and leaving to get our swimmers.
By the time we got to the river it was a little after 3 and the temperature was blistering hot still. My parents met us all out there. I made sure to tell Ezra we had a change of plans when I changed into my swim clothes but he declined the offer to come with us and said he was going to meet with some of his warriors, which was fine by me. It was good seeing mum and dad getting along and they genuinely seemed to be working things out though it was a bit sickening watching them give each other love eyes and smooching every few seconds.
“Gosh I hope I have a body like that when I am your mothers age” Angie says checking my mum out. I shake my head at her, mum was fit which is kind of expected considering all she does is train and teach.
“Ah this has been so nice and it has been good to get away from all the men,” Jasmine says.
“Yeah I hate having 5 brothers, it would have been good to have a sister” Angie agrees.
“Hey, what do I look like, a potato?” My dad calls out eavesdropping.
“You don’t count, you’re like one of the girls now” Jasmine taunts making my mother laugh at his offense before she comes running toward us..
“Cannonball” My mum screamed, running off the bank and jumping right between the three of us and splashing us all with water before swimming off as we all tried to swim after her. My father was watching from his spot under the tree as we all wrestled in the water getting our asses handed to us by my mother. She didn’t care I was her kid she wouldn’t let me win, she was too competitive to let us win.
As the day slowly comes to an end though we all start to pack up and start getting out the water and heading for our towels when Mateo voice comes through the link.
“Jackson men just stepped over the border, north side. On my way over, where is Kat?”
“Yep I know. I am on my way, Kat, where are you? get home now!” Ezra links back.
“With Mum and Dad, heading home” I mindlink back just as my mother grabs my arm jerking me toward the treeline.
“Get her and the girls to the pack house” My father says shifting before he heads to the border which wasn’t far from here.
Jasmine and Angie grab their towels before chasing after us and we start heading back toward the packhouse. My mother was on high alert when the last thing we wanted to hear was screamed through the link. Rogues!
My mother looks behind her before letting my arm go. “Run!” She screams at us before shifting into her wolf as we hear growls heading our way. We all take off running, dropping everything and racing toward the packhouse. Kora shifts and so does Jasmine and Angie as we run home, we hear snarls and paws running toward us through the forest. We break through the tree line and see wolves and two men step out of the treeline closest to the packhouse and Kora skids along the grass to a stop only just managing to duck out the way as a dirty brown coloured wolf jumps on us. Angie attacks a grey wolf shoving me out of the way as it also attacked. Out of the corner of my eye I see the two men, one tall and lanky with brown hair and sharp features, the other other bulky but shorter with a shaved head waiting while we are attacked relentlessly by rogues coming from every direction.
