Instant Enemies

I hid my smile and waved it off. “Nothing.”
I could see Damian’s frustration, and I knew he wished he could read my mind. I wasn’t a part of his pack, so the only way he could read my mind was if I let him in through the “outsiders bond.” This, in the history books is the only way a rogue wolf can enter another pack’s borders, unless given permission, as Cat did.
“Gabriel, who is on watch this morning?” Cat asked me, taking a bite of the breakfast her mother set out for us.
“Ah, your father, Kevin, and Gabe.” I said, nodding in thanks as she set a plate down for me as well.
She nodded to herself. “Good. We’ll start training today. My father and Damian will be helping me. And so will you Gabriel, if you don’t mind.” She said, rubbing her temples in obvious exhaustion.
“Of course. Don’t worry; they will be ready for this.” I assured.
“I truly hope you’re right. As for the worrying…well I can tell you that it’s not going to go away.” She muttered.
I sighed, and so did Damian. She was carrying too much weight on her shoulders. Her eyes had dark circles under them, and her face was pale and tired. Her hair was disheveled, pulled back into a messy ponytail. She was a wreck.
“Goodmorning.” Lily said, yawning as she led Riley in. They plopped down, and Riley gave Cat a weak smile.
She smiled slightly back. Their relationship has been strained. She told me a few days ago that they got into a fight about her relationship with Damian. He was being protective over her, because he knew they’d completed the bond. Also, she was stressed, and she snapped at him. They’ve been slowly forgiving each other ever since.
Next to come down was Trevor and Melody. Cat told me that Trevor wasn’t talking to her, but since all this started, they’ve been closer than ever. He greeted Cat, sitting down at the kitchen table and pulling Melody into his lap.
“Damian, I’m going to set things up for training, gather everyone and meet me in the backyard in an hour.” Cat told him after she finished her meal.
“Right.” Damian said, pressing a kiss to her forehead.
She turned to me. “I’m going to need your help with this.”
“Sure,” I said, jumping from the stool.
She looked down and smiled. “Gabriel! You actually have a shirt on for once! I’m so proud.” She teased.
I smiled and chucked her on the chin playfully. “Yeah, I decided a change might be good.” I joked.
We laughed as we left the kitchen, and then we began planning the training session.
