"He's coming back tomorrow!?"

"Aren't you happy?" Taylors confusion was evident on her face, all the other girls at the table were also wondering why Nina had suddenly paled. Her eyes had widened, and she began to sweat.

"What's up with you Nina?"

"I-It's nothing."

"Oh cut the bullshit. You've been acting weird ever since you got back from that stupid pack meeting." Angie huffed. "And not the good kind of weird" Clarification was needed.

Sighing, Nina took a seat at the table.

"Are you finally going to tell them?"

"What do you mean finally? We both agreed that it was in both our best interests not to mention anything from the past."

"Why can't you let me pretend like I was right."

"Because you weren't?"

"Nina?" Kylie snapped Nina out of her conversation. "If you don't feel comfortable speaking it's ok."

"No Kylie, it's not ok. Nina is family, and families help each other out. If she doesn't want to talk then fine, but how do you expect us to help you, to help ourselves, if we don't know anything. What happened at that meeting?" Skylar was getting heated. Not because she was angry with Nina, but more so because she was angry with herself. She had let Nina sulk around for way too long, Skylar White was going to get to the bottom of this.

"Okay." Nina took a deep breath.

"Okay?"

"I told Maya I would tell you guys everything when they got back. We might as well wait until tomorrow."

"Everything?"

"It'll all make sense tomorrow. Just, for now, please don't ask any further questions."

"Our itty bitty gay heart won't be able to take it."

"Frost sometimes I just want to do away with you."

"You know if we didn't share the same body I would do away with me too" Nina could practically hear the wink behind Frost's comment. The wolf had suddenly become so sexual that Nina was beginning to get slightly uncomfortable. It felt as though Nina was being subjected to some form of harassment, if you could even call it that.

"You know you like it."

"Frost I'm going to kill you."

"Frost I'm going to kill you" Frost mimicked Nina's threat. Rolling her eyes Nina was about to reply with another snarky comment but a wonderful smell had suddenly wafted into the room. It seemed Nina wasn't the only one who noticed the smell, as all the other girls suddenly turned to the general location the scent was coming from. Not a minute later, Demetri and multiple other servers appeared holding fancy-looking silver dishes. They strategically placed the trays in front of the drooling women and left as soon as they had entered.

"Bon Appetit bitches" Taylor smirked and lifted the lid off her platter, revealing a beautifully made gourmet pizza.

"No fucking way." Angie lifted the cover off her dish as well, revealing a perfectly handcrafted cheese pizza. "If this is the work of God I'm going to start attending church. Dear lord, please forgive me for thigh sins."

"Thigh sins?" Taylor raised a brow.

"stop trying to ruin this for me Taytay."

Taytay?" Taylor raised the other brow.

"Shoh ggooooddd khoh ma grodd." Angie ignored her sister and moaned into her mouth. Her face screamed eternal bliss. The other sisters looked at each other incredulously but as soon as everyone took a bite, they all had the same reaction.

"Nina, you know I love you when I say this" Alexis swallowed her food. "But I think this totally beats your cooking." Nina couldn't disagree. 

Having a sudden revelation, Angie suddenly stopped eating. "Taylor..." The brunette turned to her youngest sister. "Exactly how much money are you making from this place?"

A grin began to form on the older girl's face, "Too much."

Suddenly, Angie got out of her chair and headed towards Taylor. Getting on her knees, Angie put on her most needy look and extended her hands towards her sibling. "Please malady, help a poor sista out." All the girls began laughing as Taylor simply shook her head.

"Go get a job, you freeloader."

Angie scoffed. Getting up, she swiftly pounced on Taylor, and with a big movement, licked the whole left side of her face. Before Taylor could do anything, Angie had jumped off the girl and ran to Nina.

"NINAAAAA" she screamed. "Help me a crazy rich person is trying to attack me! You'll be my witness right!?" Angie wiped a fake tear away, then pointed an accusing finger at her sister. "I'm taking you to court bitch!" 

Taylor took a napkin and wiped her face with a slow, ominous movement. She looked Angie dead in the eye and began to slowly rise from her seat.

"Nina, you're welcome in my establishment, free of charge, whenever you would like."

Nina smirked and continued eating her delicious pizza. "I never saw a thing."

"You can't bribe my witnesses, you witch!" Kylie turned to Angie with a brow raised.

"Not you witch, other witch." Kylie shrugged her shoulders. She was too busy enjoying her food to work her magic and make Angie's eyebrows disappear. Or maybe she would get rid of the girl's hair. Laughing darkly to herself, Kylie took a sip of her drink. Angie felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand at Kylie's haunting giggles.

"Come here dearest sister." Taylor had begun walking towards the shuddering girl. Before Taylor had the time to pounce, Angie screamed and started running towards the bathroom. Taylor followed, a menacing laugh escaping as she opened the bathroom door. The laughter could still be heard as Angie's screams got louder.

"I don't know if I should laugh or cry." Alexis slowly turned away from the bathroom of death.

"Do both," Sasha responded, and the two girls were suddenly engulfed in their own world as they began whispering and giggling amongst each other. Skylar felt a little jab of pain in her heart but ignored it.

The women stayed at Geronimo's for the next couple of hours, and before Nina could comprehend, she was already in her room, worrying about the Alpha's arrival.

"Stop worrying" Frost's attempt at comfort didn't really help Nina's nervousness.

"Easier said than done" Nina removed her clothing and fell back onto her bed. Her body was taunting her. She felt sick to her stomach, but at the very bottom, hidden very deep within her, there was slight excitement.

She craved Jessica. No, she didn't crave Jessica, her body did. It destroyed Nina that whenever she saw her mate, her body would betray her. It was as if some magnet was pulling the girl towards her demise. But Nina wouldn't let it happen. She wasn't going to let a couple of hormones get in the way of her ultimate goal. Nina suddenly felt a rush of anger hit her. Frost felt it too, and for a moment, the wolf worried her human counterpart was beginning to get ahead of herself.

Nina was going to get back at them. For the years of torment, abuse, and hatred, Nina was going to make sure they knew how much they hurt her. A sliver of a smile unconsciously made it's way onto Nina's face as she fell asleep thinking of all the ways she could get back at her old pack.
