ASHANTI'S POV.
I didn't get any sleep last night. I kept thinking about my mother's cold reaction towardslast night. I still can't get over the fact that she wasn't excited to see me. We've been apart for so many years and it hurts so much to know that I've been the only one missing and longingtomeether. Her reaction yesterday madeunderstand that she ever thought about me. It seems after she left my father, she loved on with her life like nothing happened.
But then she saved me.
She heard my cry and cto save me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe still hasn't toldabout the skill, butsgesaved me. I'm sure she would have done that if she did not care about me. I'm very sure of that.
"You are over thinking again." Lena chimes in and let out a heavy sigh of exasperation.
My mother's children dislike me. It's just a matter of tbefore their little protests grow into a full blown war and my mother will have no choice but to sendaway. If that happens, I'm doomed because I have no where else to hide.
Alpha Reagan must have sent troops to raid my father's castle and pack by now, so going back there would really be a stupid move on my part and I'd rather die than go back to Alpha Reagan's pack. Like I said before, I want nothing to do with him and I mean it.
Sighing heavily, I rise from my bed and head to the door. I'm tired of sitting in here and trying to guess my fate in this household. I need to talk with my mother again. About to step into the hallway, but my step is halted a loud voice from one of the bedrooms at the end of the hallway.
"First of all you never told us about your daughter..." The voice... it's no one's else's but Sheila. "You juts spring her on us and now you expect us to accept her." Her words pierce my chest like sharp arrows and pain courses through my heart as they sink into my blood. Heating it up. My body starts trembling as I stand at the door.
"I'm not asking you to accept her... not yet! All I'm asking is for you to be a bit nice to her. Stop making her feel as though she's not welchere." "But she isn't!" Sheila scold firmly. I vibrate on my spot. It seems my greatest fear is going to ctrue after all. "Her father is an Alpha. She should go to him. She shouldn't be here! I don't want her here!" "Sheila!" Mum scolds firmly, sounding very dissapointed in Sheila's words. "I didn't raise you to be an inconsiderate person. Ashanti needs our help and we'll give it to her!" "I don't care, mum. What I know is that I hate her and I don't want her here. Period!" "Lethandle this." A low, masculine voice interrupts their banter. It's Michael. "Sheila..." He starts to talk but Sheila cuts in.
"Dad... you have to..." "Sheila!" Michael calls again, this taround in a no nonsense tone. "Sit down and be quiet!" He orders and I've had enough. I step back into the bedroom and close the door with trembling hands. My entire being is vibrating with fear and panic as I rush back to the bed and sit on it.
It was just a matter of time... my foot.
The tis now! The war had bagan.

My fingers fly to my mouth and I nervously bite my nails, staring m blanklybatbthe wall, completely lost in thought. Where will I go from here?
I don't know my way around this pack. I don't know my way around anywhere else...
My thoughts are interrupted by a knock on the door that makesvibrate with fear. Hot balls Hot balls of sweat roll from my temples, through my cheeks down to my chin. I am breathing fire through my nostrils as I stare at the door, startled out of my skin. "Ashanti." My mother's familiar voice comes through and I nearly piss my pants.
She's coming to sendaway.
