Katya POV

I remained in the room not wanting to risk running into everyone. I knew they were outside, I could hear the talking of pack members excitedly chatting about the pack run from the bedroom window. When the sun started to set, dread filled me. I slip some loose fitting clothes on which is what most pac members wore when they are going to shift. At least I kind of looked the part. When it was nearly 5, I was about to head down when I heard a knock on the door.

Opening the bedroom door my father was standing there in just a singlet and shorts. “Hey Pumpkin” He says and I roll my eyes at the nickname he refuses to give up. I threw my arms around his waist hugging him tight.

“Your mother said you had an issue here today?” He says and I nod against his chest. He kisses my hair.

“Wħɑτ ɗо I ɗо ɑɓоυτ τħɛ рɑсĸ rυŋ?” I ɑѕĸ, lооĸἱŋg υр ɑτ ħἱɱ.
