The Challenge Two Alphas, One Girl

Chapter 11: Fenestra Family Reunion

Friday’s POV

The massages were heavenly. Afterwards, Thaddeus watched me get my nails done, manicure and pedicure. I had never had either one done before. I felt so brand new and sparkly leaving the spa. I remembered how Fallon called pampered people shiny people. He would say you could always spot the shiny people. I had been dull my whole life until now.

Thaddeus and I ate lunch at a restaurant in the heart of the down. It was called Wolfish and served freshly caught seafood. Everything was delicious. I was sad to return to the pack house when we were done. I almost fell over when I spotted my parents, brothers and Maze waiting for me in the common living

area on the ground floor.

“Congratulations, sweetheart,” said my Mother, standing up to give me an awkward hug.

That was the first time she had hugged me in my entire life. She had her dark wavy hair in a bun, her golden skin looked dull as though she were in poor health and her big brown eyes had bags underneath them. My Mom was usually referred to as a beauty but her alcoholism had caused this to deteriorate. My father ignored me. He had never wanted a daughter or “a fourth mouth to feed” as he usually called me. I saw Fang nudge him.

“Congrats,” my father said. “On what?” I asked my parents.

“On becoming Luna! We’re so proud,” said Mom. “First a Beta son and now a Luna daughter. We’ll have Alphas for grandchildren!”

“Unless she only gives birth to girls,” my father grunted.

Thaddeus was looking at my father warily. Maze stood up. ” “I wanted to meet your parents,” Maze said. I was confused. My father was the former Beta to his father who was the former Alpha.

“Wouldn’t you have met them before?” I asked. I was not allowed in pack meetings but I knew Alphas and Betas and their families usually sustained close bonds or at least, they were civil.

“I met your Dad a few times when he was Beta to my father but I only glimpsed your Mom. I never knew them as your parents,” Maze said. “I wanted to meet with them in that context.”

Thaddeus said softly, “Today is my day.” “I’m aware of that but this is your potential Luna’s family,” said Maze. “From whom she is estranged,” said Thaddeus plainly. There was an

“You know Friday has no wolf, right?” Wow. Was my father trying to talk Thaddeus out of liking me? “Yeah, I know,” said Thaddeus. “She’s twenty,” Dad said. “Should have phased two years ago.” “I’m twenty-five,” Thaddeus said as though we were just going
