Game of Destiny by Dripping Creativity novel Chapter 120

“Time for lunch,” I told everyone. We headed for the dining hall and were joined by Sam’s and Jake’s families. Mari was telling us about her latest app she was developing. She clearly took after her father and was always working on a new project of some sort. Jake and Amie were asking her questions and I enjoyed how ordinary it all felt. Sure, it was nice with a little drama once in a while, but we had too much of it lately. Ordinary was becoming a luxury item. My aunt joined our table. She looked relaxed and started a conversation with Shelly.

‘Something is up with Matilda,‘ Amie mindlinked me. ‘We should talk to her after lunch.‘ I looked at Amie and then at my aunt. I could see small signs of her being stressed which I had overlooked.

‘Good idea. Thanks for picking up on it, Red,‘ I answered and kisseder cheek. When everyone was done eating, I asked my aunt if she had time to talk to me and Amie. She sighed and nodded and we walked to our office.

“I didn’t want to say anything,” my aunt told us as we sat down. “It poked as if you were having a nice day and you deserve to have

those as well.”

“That is sweet of you Matilda. We have had a good morning and we enjoy those, but don’t feel like you are taking from us if you have an issue we need to know about,” Amie said.

“She is right. It was you who taught me to deal with my issues as soon as possible or they will grow bigger,” I reminded her. She laughed

“I’m happy some of the things I said stuck with you. And you are right. You should face issues head on. I talked to your mother this morning.” During the six months since we had left the Game, we hadn’t been able to reach my mother. Many from my old pack had fled to other packs. All of them had the same stories to share about how controlling the top tier had become and how obsessed my brother was about getting the women pregnant.

“How is she?” Amie asked.

“She says she is fine, and she sounded okay. I asked if she needed anything, but she told me she didn’t. When I mentioned what was happening she told me I was being dramatic and everyone was making a fuss over nothing. They had things under control, she told me, and your brother was doing well.”

“At least she isn’t in any danger,” Amie offered. I nodded. I had stayed silent during the conversation. It was just difficult for me to understand anyone who could live in a pack like my old one, and not see what was happening. Not trying to do something, change things for the better. I was trying to understand how my mother had taken that approach. Did she love my brother so much she was willing to overlook anything he did?

“There is always that. I will get back to my afternoon. Thank you for reaching out to me,” my aunt said. Amie got up and gave her a hug before she left. As usual when we were alone and Amie knew I was upset, she made herself comfortable in my lap. It made me smile as I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her.

“It’s okay, I’m fine,“, I reassured her.

1. me.

“You are hurt because she was so quick to judge you.”
