I walked down the street, wondering if the smirk I had was permanently etched onto my face. At least Alpha Asher now knew that I acted this way all of the time.

Even with a new Alpha in charge, things in this small town remained the same. Only a handful of people had actually changed. Unfortunately, none of the assholes had changed.

I wandered around aimlessly, missing the taste of mocha coffee on my tongue.

“Did we really have to dump the coffee on him?” I grumbled.

Maya rolled her eyes, “What else did you expect us to do?”

“I don’t know.” I sighed, “Throat punch him?”

Maya’s ears perked up, “sh*t, I wish I would’ve thought about that. Can we go back?”

I snickered at her, “Maybe next time. I’m sure this won’t be the last time he says some stupid sh*t.”

“Promise?” Maya sounded hopeful.

I headed back home, feeling as though my day had been completely uneventful. When I walked in the door I was greeted by the smell of my grandma’s cooking. Plates of sweets were scattered all along the counter, and she was just pulling a pan of brownies out to cool.

“Oooh.” I cooed, reaching to pick up one of her cookies when she smacked my hand away.

“Not for you, miss!” My grandma scolded me, “Their for the other families in this pack that lost someone in the fight.”

I sighed, the cookies really did look amazing.

My grandma’s stern look softened and she handed me a cookie.

“Now go outside and help your dad with the garden.” She pushed me towards the back door and I groaned.

“Don’t sass me. You have your cookie, now go!” She shooed me away.

I stuffed the cookie into my mouth and groaned at the chocolate-y goodness.

I could see my dad on his knees digging up some of the dead flowers. Mom always had a huge garden, something she had picked up from grandma.

“I see the dictator has ordered you to work too.” My dad grumbled with a smile on his face.

“Yes sir.” I smirked, getting down to help him.

“Did she pay you with sweets too?” My dad chuckled.

I laughed at him, “Yup, she gave me a cookie.”

“Really? I got two cookies and a brownie.” My Dad smirked while my mouth opened in shock.

“Grandma that’s not fair.” I yelled towards the back door.

Her head popped out and looked between the two of us, “What isn’t fair?”

“You gave him more than me!” I gave her a pout, “Equal wages for equal work!” I protested.

She smirked at me, “Your dad was out here since you left this morning.” And with that she popped her head back inside.
