Chapter 99

Demetri’s POV

“Word of my return to the pack house got out, and two to three times a month, around ten at night, I’d get a knock at the door from a little seeking protection or a little that had gone through the pain of getting the protection they needed, and they had convinced a sister or friend to do the same. No matter how much I tried to stop it, I couldn’t. Even with me leaving the territory on these runs, they keep looking for me. I have new notes every time I return. New girls who are frightened and scared, apologizing for being there without my permission. Terrified of me when they finally meet me because I’ve been demonized by every adult in the pack. Confused and uncertain because of what their friends tell them, that this is the only solution.”
