Big Bad Alphas

Chapter 32 Chapter 33

Walking up to the house, I glance behind me at the two guards waiting in the car before ringing the doorbell. An array of speedy footsteps and squeak-like cheers erupts from the other side, and I spot Kendra peeking through the side window. I smile and wave. The door is swinging open in a matter of seconds.

"Isabella!" She shouts and clings onto me. My arms wrap around her, a barrier between her and the world. "I'm so excited!"

I squat down and brush the stray hairs from her beautiful face. "Did you do your hair yourself?"

"Yes, Moms with the Luna. She told me not to open the door unless it's you. I brushed it and tied it up like you used to," she explains and twirls the crooked pigtails between her fingers.

"Alright. How about I braid it? My friend Caroline taught me how to do a Dutch braid, can I show you?"

Kendra's eyes beam.

The house is the same. Nothing has moved beside shifted magazines on the coffee table and a new living chair beside the couch. Kendra leads me upstairs as if I am in a strangers house, and we sit on her bed while I weave the strands of her hair together. Glancing to the side, I see her packed bag. "You know, I was thinking that we could leave tomorrow. We can have a sleepover here."

"Why can't we go?"

"We can, I'm just a little tired that's all. If we leave tomorrow I'll have plenty of energy and we can do stuff all day."

Kendra's head bobs in all directions, making the braiding more difficult than it was on Caroline. "Like what?"

"Well we can get you unpacked, we can say hi to Caroline, my friend, we can go swimming in the lake if you like."

"I want to swim."

I tie the braid at the end and hop off
