When I enter the kitchen, I see Emma making everyone plates, and of course Dylan being the first one at the table as usual. I really was not hungry, but I did walk over and steal a few pieces off Dylan's plate for fun. "Hey, listen we may share homes, rooms, hell one day maybe even a man, but no one touches my food. Kiah you know that better than anyone you're the same way. Now I only have three pieces left." "Oh, come on Dilly bear you wouldn't want me to starve now, would you?" "Whatever, go away." He was pouting as I headed out to the balcony outside of the dining room.
Breathing in the fresh air, and warm sunlight. "Hey Ki, can I join?" I nodded at Emma. "Your place is nice." Thanks. They used to just be apartments, but after we found each other and started the side gig of fighting, with the extra cash we bought it off the elderly woman. She moved away and we turned it into our humble abode." "Wow, you have changed Ki, so much."
I just needed to get to elephant in the room sort to speak. "Emma, did you tell EJ you found me, and about everything." I was silently waiting her responses it was secretly killing me not knowing. "No Ki, I did not. I cannot keep him in the dark about this though, you know that." "I know Emma, I do not expect you to." "So, you don't mind, I mean about me telling EJ."
"Listen Emma, we both know how it happened between us. I don't want to have to go through that again with EJ especially. So, believe me I would rather you tell him." I then took a drink of my Carmel frappe awaiting her response. "You, do know he will insist I bring him here, right?" "Yes, Emma I do, and you know where I live, where I work, and where I fight and when. I thought about this last night believe me long and hard. If EJ is going to meet me he needs to meet who I am now. Not the little girl from the past." She smiled knowing how I felt she didn't push the subject anymore.
We ate and mingled a little more, I found that Greg and I believe his name is Kevin are warriors in Emma's pack. This was an experiment to bring others here to train and learn new techniques. I told them it was a great idea because packs fight differently, every wolf fights differently. I don't know if they listened, but I tried.
Emma seems to be doing a fantastic job with EJ on Beta duties. I found out I have a nephew, two years old. His name is Kyle Winters, after our father. I cannot believe I missed so much after all this time. "Ki, it is time we head back." Emma said and I embraced her in a big hug. "I expect to be seeing you sooner than later." Giving her a wink and her smiling, we both know EJ, and he is not going to wait any longer after hearing the story.
"We will be back okay, I promise." I watched them drive off. "So, Kiah, time to go shopping my love." Dylan yelled linking our arms together. "Will they be back?" I just stared at him giving him the, are you serious look. "Okay, I know better they will be. When will they be back?" "Shit I forgot to ask how far their pack is from us." I slapped my self in the forehead. "Guess we just have to wait and see then Kiah, now let's shop until we drop."
I groaned in frustration, I hated malls. 'You okay Kiah?' 'Yeah, Vee I am fine I guess we are about to find out if my brother excepts the new me.' 'He will Kiah, he will.' 'I hope so. Let's just get this shopping over with and we will all go on a run it will be good to stretch.' 'Yes, it would, Thank Kiah.' 'Always Vee, Vee.' 'Hey, you know better than that.' 'You know you love it.' 'Do not tell Dylan that. Him and Kodah will never stop if they knew.' 'I wont unless its life or death my Vee.' 'Oh, hush it lets go.'
