Chapter 337: 1-2

“Kieran has done nothing to any of you,” Connor’s eye bulged out wider than ever, “we aren’t doing this again Connor, she attack him knowing he would react the way he did. He didn’t do something to her, she did this to herself.” “Dominic, the Luna let you get away with teasing and bullying your own brother, you didn’t try to stop it, you may not have done anything to him physically like the others, but what you did was worse. You didn’t try to stop it, so while I hate and recognize that your mate is going to feel the errors of your ways, you think that actions or lack there of in this case makes you innocent. However in my eyes, it does not. You will not be seeing your mate for two weeks; I’ll be your sitter if you need me too, so that you follow my punishment. You see her at school, and I will be telling Marlon to have you or her moved to different training groups, perimeter run as well as chores. You will be doing them with me, as will you Connor.” “I’m eighteen you can’t-” my husbands’ eyes darken, his wolf most likely fighting for dominance, “You live in this house. You eat because your mother and I do more than you children here so you get the supplies you need, and this house you live in. You have no money to say you can ask to board alone. Your chores certain don’t add up to giving you the option of getting a house. You know that everyone – as one of the rules here – must be in a home during the night. They made an exception for Kieran, they won’t make it for you,” Tony pauses, “You can’t just build your own home, here because even making our home larger needs to be approved before so much less building your own from materials found in the forests.” Growling, face red and lips pressed tightly together my two sons, were raging, as Tony calmly dictated what would be happening now, my eyes flickered over to Tera, who was gazing down at her plate, a small smile on her lips. “This isn’t fair! Why does my mate have to suffer?” “Because of your decisions Dominic. The two of you need to learn to accept responsibility for your actions,” Tony says and I can’t help but wonder if this was our fault, no I didn’t need to wonder, I was fairly certain that it was. “So what about Kieran? He snuck out-” “Now you’re-” Tera begins to say something but I cut her off, “he left and decided – d- decided to live with the Luna-” A loud scrape, the chair being pushed back forcibly against concrete, sounds and echoes in the room, “This is crap! He – so what if Kieran was kidnapped, God he survived and made it back home. You guys are bending over backwards to have him fit in here; you don’t do that for us. He left the house and still he isn’t punished. He acts us and nothing, in fact we are told to stay away from him and now, you’re preventing me from seeing my mate because I let him be teased? How is anything that you’re saying now fair?” Dominic said bolting up and stalking out of the room. “He’s right… you can’t punish us just so you look good to the Luna,” Connor sneered, “and you… you think your princess is going to continue being your friend when she realizes what a weirdo you are Tera? She didn’t know how special she is, but once she does, see if she stays friends with you. Don’t you remember back home, when wait what was her name again-” “That is enough!” I shout standing, Tera looking at her brother, with wide watery eyes, before biting her lip and looking down. “What mom it’s true… don’t you see the house that they are in, compared to ours?” he waves his hands around at the room, rolling his eyes, and leaving the room. My daughters brown hair fell to the sides of her face, as she toyed with her fork, not lifting her head to meet my face nor Tony’s. “Tera…” she only lifts her head enough to look at me through her eyelashes, “Don’t listen to what your brother is saying. Things don’t make a person; it’s whom you are inside… I know it happened before, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen with Oakley. I happen to believe that she enjoys being your friend and I’m she doesn’t believe that she is better than you.” She nods turning back to her empty plate, “Did you know that she does advanced school work, compared to Kiley and your self? But she still came when you invited her here,” I added, while Tony left the table to go after the boys. “Kiley was the daughter of someone in charge and they have house like Oakley’s here, but she’s your friend right? Doesn’t make you feel like she’s better than you?” Tera doesn’t answer right away, but after some minutes she nods. .
