Why the hell are you at my familys barbeque ? Kelsey asked , folding her arms across her busty chest , her pink lips gressed into a thin line as she glared at me .<\/p>\n
If I remember correctly , the entire pack is invited , Kelsey .<\/p>\n
So , whats the problem ? I asked her , narrowing my eyes .<\/p>\n
I wasnt going to let her bully me , especially because I was only there as a favor to Irene .<\/p>\n
I didnt need to deal with Kelsey right now , That doesnt include you , Slut , she barked .<\/p>\n
Was she seriously calling me the slut when Ethan was the one who left me for someone else ? It wasnt the other way around so Im not sure what shes insinuating Its pathetic that you just let showed your face here .<\/p>\n
Trying to beg Ethan to return to you ? Cant you him go and let him be happy ? He found someone worthy of his time and love .<\/p>\n
Irene fits in perfectly with our family .<\/p>\n
Weve only known her for a little bit , but shes already the perfect sister in law .<\/p>\n
Im not here to beg for Ethan , I murmured .<\/p>\n
Im only here to support my friend .<\/p>\n
Yeah right , Kelsey said mockingly .<\/p>\n
I highly doubt you are here to support anyone but yourself .<\/p>\n
You are pathetic , Judy .<\/p>\n
Whats going on ? Ethan asked as he stepped beside his sister .<\/p>\n
You arent making trouble again , are you Kels ? He asked her .<\/p>\n
She frowned up at him and narrowed her icy blue eyes .<\/p>\n
Of course not , Ethan .<\/p>\n
Im only looking out for you .<\/p>\n
Im not letting this bitch weasel her way back into your life when you have fully moved on from her , she said sourly .<\/p>\n
Ethan sighed and ran his fingers through his hair .<\/p>\n
I dont need you to look out for me .<\/p>\n
Im more than capable of doing so myself , he assured her .<\/p>\n
She rolled her eyes .<\/p>\n
Im your sister ; its my job to protect you , she complained .<\/p>\n
You are my little sister , he reminded her .<\/p>\n
Please , dont make any more trouble for yourself or for me .<\/p>\n
She scowled at him but before she could say anything , Irene intervened .<\/p>\n
Kelsey was only doing what she thought was right , trene said gently , shocking me .<\/p>\n
Was she seriously standing up for Kelsey after what she had said to me ? I thought Irene wanted me here because I was her friend , but the way she had Kelseys back was making me doubt my friendship with her .<\/p>\n
He wrapped an arm around Irenes shoulder and pulled her close .<\/p>\n
She snuggled against him as he kissed the side of her face , his eyes flickering over to me for a moment , making my blood run cold .<\/p>\n
I shifted in my shoes uncomfortably , trying to avoid his eyes though I could feel them burning a hole in the side of my face .<\/p>\n
Chapter 0134 I want to introduce you to some friends , he murmured to him .<\/p>\n
She nodded and then glanced at me .<\/p>\n
Ill see you momentarily , she told me .<\/p>\n
I nodded , forcing a smile as she walked away with Ethans hand in hers .<\/p>\n
He gave me one last look before turning his attention to the group of friends across the yard .<\/p>\n
Judy ? I heard a familiar voice in close proximity .<\/p>\n
I turned to see Meredith Cash walking towards me .<\/p>\n
She had a frown on her lips and when she paused in front of me , her perfectly trimmed brows were raised .<\/p>\n
I wasnt expecting to see you here this evening .<\/p>\n
She wants to get back with Ethan , so she showed up , Kelsey sald with a scowl .<\/p>\n
Is that so ? Meredith asked , her eyes never left mine .<\/p>\n
Well , Im afraid thats not going to happen .<\/p>\n
My Ethan is much happier with his fianc\u00e9 .<\/p>\n
Irene is such a doll , and she fits into our family way better than you ever did .<\/p>\n
Thats what Ive been telling her , Kelsey said , a smirk on her pink lips .<\/p>\n
In comparison to Irene , Judy is nothing .<\/p>\n
I opened my mouth to say something in my defense , but I wasnt sure what I could say .<\/p>\n
Theyve always been like this towards me for as long as Ive known them .<\/p>\n
It didnt make any sense to me ; I had no idea why they hated me so much .<\/p>\n
I honestly think it was because theyve always been intimidated by my family and have been waiting for our downfall so they could come out on top .<\/p>\n
But now that they are on top , they think its appropriate to snub us and make us feel as if we are nothing but trash .<\/p>\n
My heart twisted ; Ethan was my fated mate \u2026.<\/p>\n
I was the one who was wronged by their son .<\/p>\n
Yet , they dont seem to see it like this .<\/p>\n
It was a cruel reminder to both me and my wolf that we dont belong in this family and we never would .<\/p>\n
Even if Ethan accepted me as his mate , it would always be like this .<\/p>\n
Irene is very rich , and her father is insanely famous , Meredith went on to boast .<\/p>\n
I cant believe my Ethan is marrying into the Landry family .<\/p>\n
Which means our families are now connected .<\/p>\n
This couldnt have worked out more perfectly .<\/p>\n
Not to mention Alpha Gavin Landry is so hot , Kelsey purred , making my insides twist .noveldrama<\/p>\n
Kelsey , thats enough .<\/p>\n
Hes old enough to be your father , Meredith chuckled .<\/p>\n
We invited him to the party , as we do every year .<\/p>\n
I wonder if hell show up this time because his daughter is here .<\/p>\n
I cant wait to officially meet him and make our debut in his family .<\/p>\n
We are going to be the most popular family in the country .<\/p>\n
