Chapter 27 Back Home

• We made it back to my home pack. I was surprised to see so many pack members out to welcome me home. I was so focused when I was in school; I didn’t have many friends. I mainly interacted with the Warriors and the Elite team. My time was spent either studying or training. Khalis said that many of the she-wolves were jealous of me and were constantly saying things about me behind my back. I didn’t give any of it much thought at the time. I was just out of school when I went to Kosta’s pack to become the alpha female there.
• At Kosta’s pack, I didn’t have time to do much but work and get the pack out of the financial hole they had fallen into. During that time, I was busy working, training, or meeting all of Kosta’s needs. I never stopped to take care of myself or socialize. Now I don’t know what I need. I thought I was happy, but now I see, I really wasn’t happy. I was just uber-focused. I buried myself so far down being Kosta’s mate, the pack’s alpha female, and Khalis’ fool, that I don’t know if I will ever find myself again. I just feel so lost.
• I step out of the SUV and just stand there looking at all of my home pack members. I was their princess. The young genius. Many of the elders had so much faith in me. I was not supposed to be coming home, tail tucked from a failed mating. I wonder how many of them knew that Kosta and Khalis were plotting against me. I wonder if they started their plan while I was still living here. At this point, it would not surprise me.
