Chapter 0505 "You are early." Callie sighs out, her shoulders instantly sagging, any sign of the confident entrepreneur business woman disappearing at her mother's words.
I didn't even recognise this Callie in front of me.
My eyes move to Mum's who is also picking up on the awkwardness.
"Callie has been such a help in the kitchen, had we of known we would expect you early...of course we would have been more prepared to welcyou." Mum sweetly smiles but makes it very clear of the dig within her tone. They've purposefully cearly to catch us out, something that she was aware of and wouldn't let slide. Dad notices this as well, moving swiftly to Mum's side and placing a hand around her waist, pulling her into him. It could be a move to keep Mum in check, to give them a chance.
Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, I hear whistling at the back door only for Lobo to churling into the house, covered in dirt...his muddy paws jumping up at our guests.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Lobo, down!" Josie growls at him, as she rushes in after him, followed by Knox.
"He loves new people, I'm so sorry." Josie pulls Lobo down off Alpha Bill, who seemed more pleased than his mate to greet my sister's dog.
"It's fine, I was due to change anyway." Luna Louise pats down her outfit, flicking off the bits of mud that were dry.
"Josie, perhaps you can show Luna Louise and Alpha Bill to their guest room?" Dad gently commands out, Josie nodding in agreement.
"Yes, letgo wash my hands." She smiles out, tugging Lobo by his collar. She's making it look as if she is telling him off but she's not, if anything she is telling him he is a good dog.
Her eyes flash back towidely just as she opens the door that leads to the utitliy room, a smirk sent my way.
I fight the corner of my lip that wants to curl up into a smirk. Any other tI would be chuckling out loud at the mud paw prints on Luna Louise's outfit...but Callie's horrified, terrified face has the reality of the situation knocked back into me. "Allow me." "Thank you Kit." Mum smiles out at Knox, who picks up the luggage and gestures for them to follow him upstairs.
I can hear him introducing himself as they climb the stairs. Alpha Bill's interest heightening as he hears that Knox trains alphas. It's always been a neat trick of Knox's when starting conversations, it always helps introductions flow better. "What just happened?" Callie sighs out in distress the moment they have left the room.
"It will be fine dear, Jace, take Callie upstairs to get dressed. I'll finish everything here." "What just happened?" Callie repeats as I navigate her up the stairs, my hands guiding her by her shoulders.
I think she was in shock.
"Have a shower." I command at her, placing her down on the bed and moving to the ensuite where I turn the water on.
"This was a terrible idea, we can't do this. They see right through it." hear her moan over the shower, moving back in to reassure her. This has to work, I have no other option and we've cthis close "No they won't.." "Jace...they will." "So? What if they do, they won't say anything...because they can't handle the truth. So they'll play along." Callie seems to regather her senses after the shower, her confident attitude returning as she dresses in a red dress, which large hoop gold earrings and matching golden sandal shoes.

"Yes, much." She smiles out to me, as I place the smart dinner jacket on... pulling my white shirt cuffs through and tidying them up.
"Damn, wish I was straight." She chuckles out toas she moves away from the mirror and adjusts my shirt collar. "We've got this." She affirms.
"Yes, we have." I move to my bedside table, pulling out a small bottle and pouring the purple liquid in a shot glass. "Really?" Callie rolls her eyes at me, a disapproving click of the tongue coming off her.
"Just to keep my wolf in control.
