CHAPTER FOUR

 

 

 

            "Why do I have a feeling that us letting you ride on the Greyhound alone is a bad idea?"   Winter asks as she watches her now seventeen-year-old daughter holding a good sized carry on on her back.   Annie now stood at five foot seven and doesn't look like she would stop growing.   Her blond hair flows down her back and the curls blew gently in the wind.   It was now February and it is still a good bit cold and the roads across the US were probably treacherous.   "I could have just put you on a plane to the Ashville Air port and you will end up getting there quicker."   Annie shook her head at her mother with a smile on her face.

            "Mom, I just want to have a little bit of adventure while I can.   And it won't take but a few days to get to the East Coast since this is the express line and we won't have many stops besides Dallas and Chicago.   I will see a good bit of scenery this way and get to meet some new people.   I am strong enough to protect myself so I don't have to worry if someone is going to try to hurt me."   She explains gently to her mother as she waits for the bus to arrive.

            "Besides, Winter, she isn't going alone."   A semi deep voice of a still aging boy says behind them.   They turned around to see Maxxy walking up to them with Damien following him.   The Alpha shook his head as his adopted son grins at the two.   "It will be just the two of us, big sis."   He says as he showed that he is still around her height by putting his arm around her shoulder.

            "What is he doing?"   Winter asks as she looks at the green eyes that seemed to glow brightly with humor.   "He's too young to be in the Job Corps, isn't he?"

            "Yup, but that didn't stop him.   He said he will just have fun on the pack grounds until he turns sixteen so he can get to know his sisters mate while she is in the Job Corps there.   He himself will be going to the new Job Corps in the Pisgah Forest.   The Shink Pride decided they wanted to create one there.   Granted, they will be further apart than they would here in the state."   Damien explains as he watched the two teenagers hugging while their eyes followed the arrival of the bus they were to be riding.

            "But why ride a Greyhound?"   Winter shakes her head.

            "Adventure if you ask me."   He chuckles at the woman's exasperated expression.   "Okay you two come and say your good byes."   They turned and saw a bunch of people standing right there waiting on them to look at them.   The teens that were in the pack rushed up and grabbed both teens to them and hugged them tightly.   After they said their goodbyes Winter is standing there watching them in the window of the bus waving bye as she cries and the bus pulls off.   Damien's arm wraps around her shoulder.   "Now, Winter, she will be fine.   What say you to having a little date with me at this cute café down the street?"   She grips a hold of his arm and squeezes tightly.

            "If you call it a date, no."   He shakes his head at her.

            "Oh, come on.   You know you wouldn't mind dating me."   He shuts up after he hears her growls.   Off to the side you could see Danielle and Frank grinning from ear to ear.
