bother? Come home tomorrow. You know you didn’t have to move to a small backwoods town to get away from that creep and that fake friend of yours.” Victoria winced. Her sister couldn’t help but bring up Victoria’s ex and supposed best friend. Vivienne had never liked Mark and gloated when she found out about the affair between him and Hannah. Vivienne made sure to rub it in that he was no good and she’d known it all along. She didn’t like Mark from day one. Victoria brushed it off because Vivienne felt that way about every man. Yet her sister was right about him. “Vivienne, please don’t even go there. Every time we talk on the phone you have to say something about it. For the one hundredth time can you stop doing it,” Victoria half yelled. “Well it’s the truth.” “And so what I did. I moved clear across the country and you know I needed space and I got it. My head is clear and I’m coming home.” “Good it’ll be nice to have you back.” Neither one of them said anything. With a sigh Viviane broke the silence. “I miss the mall.” “I’m not surprised. You are the one that decided it would be awesome to live somewhere that was lacking in civilization.” “It hasn’t been so bad. It’s been peaceful.” “What’s the plan?” “What?” “What is your plan? You know work, living situation, you know all the important stuff.” “I know. I am working that all out. My condo is still being rented out. The guy has a two year lease with me but I’m sure I won’t have a problem finding a place. As far as a job I am going to do job applications when I get there but I am going to search and joint down some places that are hiring.” “You can always come and stay with me and Skylar.” “How is the little guy?” “Jesus, his teacher is getting on my last nerve. He has been having more tantrums at school lately but he has been making improvements at speech therapy. He has been inventing these futuristic spaceships out of Legos. Some days he surprises me when he starts an actual conversation. And other days I can’t believe I have a kid with autism” “It’s going to be good to see him again. Tell him his aunt will be visiting him real soon with some more Legos.” “Yes bring all the Legos you can to this kiddo. It’s all about the Legos and that includes Lego movie.” “Soon it’s going to me, the little guy, a giant bowl filled with popcorn possibly two bowls, and the Lego movie.” “Oh you don’t know what you are asking for Vic. You are going to be stuck until the middle of the night watching it over and over. I know it by heart.” “Hey the kid knows awesomeness when he sees it.” Victoria and Viviane laughed.
Chapter Seven
T hree days later Kaden had his beta, a delta, and an omega. Tristan Oates, David Hayes, and Adam Hayes were more than happy to help Kaden. Now that made two things Kaden had checked off his list. He felt good that he’d managed to also win the auction that had been over the weekend. Kaden was lucky he even got his hands on the properties. The area was good for hunting and a lot of hunters showed up from out of town for it. Kaden thought he was going to lose until he bid high enough that had everyone else backing off. Some of the pack members were happy and he was the hero for the day but others were still wary of Kaden. He was expecting it and it came as no surprise. He wasn’t the least bit concerned about individuals extending nothing but guarded feelings towards him. Kaden guessed it was going to remain that way for a while. He didn’t mind it as long as no one did anything to jeopardize what he had set out to do. Kaden walked into the living room with three beers in his hands. Adam, a stocky blue eyed, blond haired, twenty four old with sound maturity was Kaden’s beta, while twenty seven year old Tristan stepped
