I hope they don’t get into an argument. Tia made some good points when we were talking.

Lincoln and I haven’t been as tough on the twins as we should be. We need to get tough

on mom as well. We can’t expect Tia to get comfortable here with those three charging

her up anytime they feel the urge. We also will need to make sure her father is prepared

to treat her accordingly or leave her alone completely.

I head downstairs in search of my dad. He and I need to talk about this situation and what

needs to be done. Lincoln needs to be included as well, but it’s more important that he

speaks to Tia and makes things right.

I get to the second floor and start to walk down the hallway. We have conference rooms

and ranked member offices on the second floor. I’m sure my dad is down here somewhere.

As I walk further down the hall, I begin to hear raised voices. I’m getting close to my dad’s

office, and I’m pretty sure the voices are coming from there. The door is slightly ajar, and I

stand in front, listing to the conversation.

“Dammit, Kimberly!! What exactly did you hope to accomplish with that little display

downstairs? As a matter of fact, let’s talk about the last time the boys were here and what

happened then. What the hell is going on in your head?!”

“Don’t you dare speak to me like that, Paul! That girl has no business with my sons, let

alone the Luna of this pack. I didn’t do everything I have done just for her to screw it all

up.” My dad sighs.

“What is your issue with her? What the hell has she done to you for you to treat her this

way?”

“What do you mean what has she done? She’s lacking in so many areas. That’s more than

enough.”

“Is this about her father, Stuart?” There is a gasp and a long pause. “I know you two dated

in school and even though we are mated, you have always had a soft spot for him. Is this

what’s going on? Are you against Portia because of things that Stuart has told you?” Well,

this is interesting. I would have never guessed that my mom had dated Tia’s dad when

they were younger. Mom never really talked about her life before finding out dad was her

mate; well, not her love life anyway.

“How dare you accuse me of….of….what exactly are you accusing me of? Are you

accusing me of being unfaithful?”

“I didn’t say that.”

“Oh yeah. I see it now. You have always thrown that back in my face and now I know why.

You are accusing me of being unfaithful to you. How dare you accuse me of such a thing!

How dar-”

“ENOUGH!! That isn’t what I said and you know it! You can’t keep treating Portia the way

you have been. She is mated to our sons and she will be the Luna of this pack. There is

nothing you can do about it so just let it go. I’m tired of the games you are playing and

they need to quit.”

“Portia is irrelevant and soon enough you will see that.” I’m sick of hearing this. I push the

door open and stalk into the room.

“Is that a threat, mother? Are you threatening our mate?” Dad says nothing, and mom

looks shocked that I’m in the room. “Let me say this now. Neither Lincoln or I will tolerate

anyone treating or mate badly or with disrespect. That includes you.” My mom gets out of

the seat she had been sitting in and walks over to me.

“Are you the one making threats now? Would you really do something to your mother over

that…..that….” I growl so loudly that the room shakes. I see the fear flash in my mom’s

eyes before she puts on a stoic expression. “I see how things are. I gave you life and loved

you all these years, but some tramp comes along, and I no longer matter.”

“For Goddess sakes Kimberly. Would you get over yourself?! The boys have found their

mate and you won’t make them feel guilty about it.” Mom shoots dad a murderous look

before turning back to me.

“I want this to be clear. I want to hear Landon say it….to say that he will do something to

me over that harlot.” I take a long look at my mom. I remember always thinking she was

beautiful and wishing that my mate was as gorgeous as she is. My mom is 5’10, which is a

nice height for a she-wolf. Her skin has a dark complexion, and it always glowed. Mom has

always been a major patron of all things beauty, including spas. My mom has an elegant

way about her that always lights up the room. She wears a lot of wigs even though she

has gorgeous hair that is past her shoulders. I asked her once why she wears wigs all of

the time. She told me it was because she could constantly change her hair color and style

without doing damage to her actual hair. I guess that makes sense.

As beautiful as I’ve always seen my mom, right now, her attitude is diminishing her

beauty. I always thought my mom was loving and kind-hearted. This is not loving or kind-

hearted; this is downright cruel. I love my mom with everything I have, but I won’t allow

her to hurt my mate. “ No one…..including you, will be able to hurt my mate in any way

lest they have to deal with Lincoln and me in return.” Mom starts to take small steps

backward from me. I know she didn’t expect me to say this, but I won’t lie to her. If she is

the one to cause my mate harm, then I will be the one to dish out the consequences.

Mom looks at dad as if waiting for him to respond. Dad sits behind his desk with his hands

folded in front of him. “You won’ t say anything to that? You won’t defend me at all?”

“What would you have me say? The boys will be taking over very soon, and it will be up to

them to make these choices. You wouldn’t have wanted me to be the same if someone

had been coming for you when we first found each other, so why should you be treated

any differently? You have now been warned, and I think you should take that warning

seriously.” I can see tears form in mom’s eyes, but they don’t fall. She looks between dad

and me before turning around and storming out of his office.

“I’m sorry to put you in that position dad.”

“No, there is nothing to apologize for. What you told her was right and she needs to

understand that. I spoke with Portia and told her that she will need to defend herself even

against your mother.”

“This can’t be easy for you though, dad. I mean, it’s mom. I never would have thought

she’d be like this, but here we are. I don’t like you being in the middle. I don’t want to

cause issues between you two.” Dad waves me off and sits up in his seat. He starts to

shuffle through the papers on his desk.

“Don’t worry about your mom and me. We will figure things out some kind of way. You just

worry about taking care of your mate and getting her comfortable. I want you guys to take

over as soon as possible. She needs to be ready; all three of you do.” I sigh and sit across

from my dad. I figure I will just get some work done with him since I’m here. I’m going to

have to start doing this soon anyway.

My mind drifts off while my dad and I work. I start to think about Lincoln and Tia. I left

them alone a while ago, and I know Tia wasn’t happy with either of us. I wonder if she

woke up and how things have been with them while I was gone.
