As dad pulls the car up to the house, I hear
loud music and laughter coming from the backyard .

It sounds like a party is in full swing, but despite my homecoming, I know it's not for me .

" it's the new years eve. " my dad says, squeezing my shoulder. " and what's better way to start the new year than with you returning home. "

It feels strange to be celebrating a holiday again. The past two years, the didn't even register with me.

I smile and nod. " Its good to be back. "

I'm trying to put on a brave face, but inside I'm nervous wreck.
I already ran out of one party because it was too much to handle. . . What if it happens again?
Sensing my anxiety, riley wraps her arms around me from the back seat.

" we'll walk in together, " she says, comforting me. " if it gets too much, just say the word, and I'll cover for you while you escape. "

We got out of the car and walk around the house to the backyard, where a blazing bonfire is the centerpiece of a rowdy, open-air party.

The entire pack is gathered here, drinking and celebrating.

Boys are wrestling in the grass, pups are running wild, and couples are dancing under the moonlight.

As terrified as I was to return, I feel so much better from seeing that things haven't really changed at all.

" I've missed this. " I say, suddenly feeling sentimental. " I. . . I never thought I'd see this place again. "

" well, your home now. And no one will ever take you away from us again, " my dad says, giving me a hug.
" I'll go find your mother and your sister. They'll be happy to see you. "

As he disappears into the crowded party, I shoot Riley a look.

" I somehow doubt they'll be happy to see me"
I say, starting to feel nervous again.

" I know you've had your differences with them, but they're your family, " riley responds, reproachfully.

"when you were taken, it wasn't just your dad who was devastated. You're mum was a wreck too."

I want to believe Riley, but if my mum was so distraught, why didn't she come with dad to see me?
If she felt so much concern for me, why wasn't she waiting for me when I got here?

No, my mother has always despised me, deep down. She had me at a very young age, when my father got her pregnant.
I think she resents me for ruining her chances at finding her destined mate.
I think she resents dad too, but he much better than any destined mate.
Of course, when Natalia was born, mom finally had someone who she could live vicariously through, so popular, pretty, and perfect.

Meanwhile, I've been nothing but a disappointment.

The girl who got in fights.

Who played in the mud.

Who wanted to be a warrior.

Well, now that nat is mated to the alpha, with a pup on the way, my mom's living her dream.
