Chapter 263

The silence that fell was charged. “That fucking douche canoe.” Toya and Wendy snapped to attention and snorted.

“You’re watching too much human reality TV again, Amy.” I flipped them off.

“So you’re telling me that not only was he trying to get me to mate with him, he was trying to get me pregnant?”

Wendy winced. “Well, we can’t make that jump.”

Toya growled. “Why not?”

Wendy slid her phone back into her pants. “Because while Brandon is a douche canoe, as Amy has pointed out, he wasn’t the one that grabbed the kudzu to begin with. Morgan got it for your mom, Amy. He was trying to get your mom pregnant, so that is why he chose kudzu over another herb that can kick in a heat. But Brandon is…well he’s stupid. He is in my course and let’s say, if it wasn’t for his dad running the school, he would have failed business already.” Tina chuckled.

“That doesn’t surprise me. Last time he pretended to know what he was doing, but I was the one investing the pack’s money to make sure we didn’t go bankrupt.”

Toya just shook her head. “So he’s a dumbass, but he might not have intended to get Amy pregnant…yet?”

Wendy nodded. “Exactly.” She shrugged. “Or he fully intended to do both. Mate her and trap her with his pup. I wanted to believe he was just a dumbass, but with Vince pulling his strings, either option was a strong possibility.”

I just nodded. “All done?”

Toya looked back down at my leg and then stood. “Yeah, you’re good.” She pointed to Wendy. “How do we address it?”

“Huh?” Wendy squinted at her.

“Your phone, genius. You said if the weakness is not addressed, it will be two weeks. How do we address it so she bounces back faster? We start back in class tomorrow and we have training.”

We watched understanding dawn on her face. “Oh, they said she has to flush it out of her system. There is a drink we can make with a few herbs and then stuff her full of red meat.”

I groaned. Just the mention of food made my stomach growl. A big gurgle ripped through the air and the girls laughed. “It looks like Amy agrees.” Toya clapped her hands. “Let’s throw a few bottles together to take with us to eat, and then when we get back we can make a few more.” She looked at me. “The faster we flush all of this shit out of your system, the better.”

I nodded and put my foot on the ground. “I agree.” I looked at Wendy. “Can you make the bottles while I get dressed?” Wendy gave me a thumbs up and turned on her heel, disappearing into the kitchen.

“I’ll give her a hand.” Toya pulled something from her pocket. “Here. You have a lot of notifications to clear, and some texts and calls to answer.”

I groaned. I took the phone and clicked the screen. “Over a hundred notifications.” I groaned again. “Why?”

Toya sighed. “You have been MIA for a full week. We only told the girls, so I assume certain people were trying to get in touch with you.” She scratched her neck. “I know your mom called and texted more than once. I was honestly a little afraid to answer.”

“Why?”

Toya coughed. “After not answering her calls, she showed up, but Jora was under the King’s orders to block everyone from coming up here.” She rubbed her temples. “Including her. When she left, she blew up your phone.”

“Well fuck.” I squeezed my eyes shut. “She is going to blow her top.”

“Yeah. Honestly, take your time.” She turned and headed out of the room.

I sighed again, shoulders dropping, as I headed back to my room. I clicked open my phone and scrolled through everything. Nix and Megan growled at the fifty or so calls and messages from Brandon. All of them asking to come over.

He was bound and determined to get you. Megan’s voice was full of disgust.

Yeah, I bet you he tried everything to find out where you lived, too. Nix scoffed. Pathetic male.

I just deleted everything from him. I’ll deal with him later. My gaze stopped on Rowan’s name, one notification. I’d ignore him for now, too. I wasn’t sure I would ever face him again. I scrolled to the next name and hit it. I winced, reading what my mother sent me. She started off worried and then became very much enraged. She even showed up mid week to confront me for ignoring her only to be turned away. She was pissed.

I tossed my phone onto the bed. Clothes first, then call. I figured the call was going to take a while. I went to my closet and grabbed sweats. I wanted to be comfortable after the last week of bullshit.

Once I was dressed, I made my way back to my bed and sat down. I grabbed my phone, sighed and clicked the call. I waited for it to connect, but I couldn’t even get a word in as soon as the call connected; she exploded.
