Katie's P.O.V

The anticipation was killing me.

I squeezed onto Asher's hand as we continued to drive towards my old pack's territory. The thing I'm stressing most about is seeing my parents. Mark isn't that big of a deal now that I have Asher.

"Calm down Katie! I can hear your heart beat from back here!" Colton complained from the back seat. I shot him a glare from the review mirror.

"Babe I promise everything will be alright." Ashe gave me a reassuring squeeze. I nodded and smiled.

We brought Brandon with us too but he's in the other car with John and a few other pack members that came along.

We pulled up to the Alpha's house- my parent's house. I took a deep breath before stepping out of the car. Here goes nothing.

One we were all out of the car, Asher took my hand in his and we walked up the steps to the front door. Nervously knocking a couple times my mother opened the door.

She gave me a quick embrace. "Katie, come in." No 'I've missed you so much' or 'I'm so glad to see you!'

I nodded and we all walked into the house. I looked around and realized how I didn't miss this place at all.

"Katie, so glad you could come." My father's voice knocking me from my daze. I snapped my head towards him and gave a small smile.

"Father, mother. This is my mate, Asher." I introduced.

My father looked up and down and my mother didn't even bother giving him a glance.

"Katie go along. I need to talk Alpha Asher about pack stuff." My father tried to dismiss me but that didn't go well with Asher.

Asher gave my hand a tight, reassuring squeeze. "Do not order my mate around." He snarled to my father.

My father was taken back but then replaced the expression of shock with anger. "That is my daughter and I will treat her any way I please."

Before Asher or anyone could get a word in I spoke up. "Actually, you're not allowed to treat me any way you want. Now let's behave civil and get this over with. Asher go meet with my father. I need to catch up with an old friend anyway." He looked at me unsure but nodded anyway.

Before leave his pressed a soft kiss to my forehead and then I went out the front door to find my best friend- Heather.

She is probably training out in the woods like she always did, that's why she's such an incredible fighter.

I walked through the familiar woods searching for her. I got a few glances from former pack members. They probably thought I wasn't really who I was and just a look-a-like.

After searching for a few minutes I saw her. She was currently setting up some wood around a large dirt circle. The pack usually had a bonfire once a month so I guess tonight was the night.

"Well aren't you a lucky bitch, who wouldn't want to set up wood for a fire?" I teased as I walked over to her.

Heather lifted her head up, she was clearly on alert mode. Well until she saw me. Her eyes quickly lightened up and she ran towards and pulled me in for a hug. "Oh my gosh! Do you freaking know how much I've missed you?!" She squealed.

I laughed and we both pulled out of the hug. "Do you know how much I've missed you?! How have you been?!"

The smile on her face was priceless. "It's been terrible without you here! By the way you smell really good." She said while sniffing my jacket.
