Page 70 of His Sunshine Baby

“Okay, okay. Just go, Elena, I’ll lock up after myself.”

“All right. Thanks.”

I give him a quick kiss and run out. I feel like crap for leaving him like this, but right now, I need to hurry over there…

Chapter 10

When I finally reach the Main house, I’m soaked but I couldn’t care less! All I keep thinking about are Levi’s words. Anyway, he said he would meet me here, and indeed, he’s the one to open the door. To think I have to wait for someone to invite me into my uncle’s house…

I can already hear people yelling. Damn, Reagan is furious. I follow Levi to the main room, only to see her at Xavier’s throat, with three poor wolves trying to separate them.

“You little son of a dog! Do you think you can mess with me? Brat! I was already a fighter while you were still crying on your mother’s lap! You shameless dog! You don’t even deserve to be called an Alpha!”

“Reagan!” I call to her, trying to get her away from my uncle, but she won’t release her grip. Iris and Chris run to me immediately.

“Elena! Where were you? They started fighting a while ago…” says Iris, a bit alarmed.

“They said Diego was spotted in the west! Did you know about this?” asks Chris.

“How would I have known?” I reply to the two of them, annoyed.

How did they expect me to be aware of all this? I didn’t ask for it! I walk past my cousins to try and get in between Reagan and my uncle. This time, with Levi’s help, we finally pull them apart, and I have to use all my strength to restrain my mentor, who is yelling her lungs out.

“You watch it, Xavier! Someone’s gonna have your head someday and that might be me, you son of a dog!”

“Watch it, Reagan! You might be tolerated on our grounds but that won’t be the case for much longer if you–!”

“If I what, huh? What will you do? You little mutt! You think you’re bigger than Clark? Than Sam?”

Damn, she said it. My dad’s name, to my uncle’s face. Xavier’s face turns from an angry red to dark purple, which is not any better. He starts vociferating a long list of insults, under everyone’s horrified eyes. But Reagan is just laughing at him.

“Go ahead, insult me all you want! Little mutt!”

“ENOUGH!”

This time, everyone shuts up. My order resonated loudly in the room, and everyone’s eyes are on me, with shocked expressions. Only Chris whistles a little in admiration, but I don’t have time for my cousin’s childishness right now. I glare at Reagan.

“Shut it now, old hag.”

She doesn’t reply, just snorting. I turn to my uncle, who is pissed, not only because I gave him an order, but because he obeyed. But unfortunately for him, I am the stronger alpha in the room, and we both know that.

“Is it true? He’s back?”

“That is not for you to–”

“ANSWER ME!”

He steps back, with a sullen look. I’m serious, and I’ll keep insisting for as long as it takes, whether he likes it or not. Xavier growls as a warning, but I growl too. My wolf is just as pissed asI am, and we want answers. After a while, my uncle’s wolf finally backs down a little, surrendering.

“Yes… He was spotted. In the west.”

“Why the hell is he back?” I ask, still growling.

“Isn’t it obvious? It’s almost time. He’s making it clear he will come back as soon as his banishment order is lifted.”

I clench my fist, hard.

“You said he wouldn’t come back.”
