Chapter 133
I dont trust them , Mom , I told her .
They arent good people … Well , I just dont believe that , she said , shaking her head .
I sighed ; there was no point in arguing with her .
I knew I wouldnt be able to change her mind .
After a while , I gave up on the conversation and made my mother and me some lunch before we got dressed for the barbeque .
I settled on a skirt and a blouse .
It was a designer skirt , so hopefully they wont comment on my clothes .
I braided my hair and applied some makeup to make my features pop .
By the time I was finished dressing for the event , it was time to leave .
My mother drove us in her car , and it didnt take long to get to the Cash family manor .
It was huge and there were a couple of guest houses off to the side .
If they truly wanted to , they could easily pay off my fathers debt and make things okay again for my family .
But they were greedy and would never help us without there being a secret motive behind it .
I just hoped my mother was careful with whatever she agreed to .
My mother walked through the manor as if she owned the place ; she had her head held high and I admired that .
She didnt look as if she spent a month in bed ; she looked as if nothing was wrong .
She wore one of her designer dresses and her hair was tied in a neat pony , flowing evenly down her back .
She wore heels that made her legs look great and makeup that made her look professional and dashing .
We reached the back patio where the barbeque was happening ; the Cash family had a huge yard with an attached garden which I knew Ethans mother loved, and a pool yard , where his sister , Kelsey , usually hung out .
They usually invite most of the pack to their annual barbeque so they can see how well off they live .
They also invite the riches from other packs as well , including Gavin apparently .
Part of me hoped that hed show up … but another part hoped that he didnt .
It would be weird for him to suddenly make an appearance , especially now that his daughter is marrying into the family .
Irene would have felt as if he was following her or watching her .
This was her first time meeting Ethans family and truthfully , I wanted it to go well for her .
I didnt want them to treat her like they treated me .
Judy ! You made it ! I heard the familiar voice of Irene as she rushed over to me .
I saw the large smile spread across her face , and she quickly wrapped her arms around me to hug me before stepping back .
You look lovely .
You look great too , I told her , hating how true that was .
Irene did look stunning in her black backless dress that showed off her cleavage perfectly and her long flowing blond hair cascading around her shoulders and down her back .
She didnt need to wear a lot of makeup to make her features pop , and her smile was brighter than the sun .
My stomach twisted and through my minds eye , I could see my wolf lowering her head .
This was the woman our mate left us for ; through my haste with Gavin , I almost forgot about that fact .
I shouldnt let it bother me , but in a way , it still kind of hurts .
Whenever they are kissing or remotely intimate , the mark on my neck burns and itll keep me awake at night .
I couldnt imagine what itll feel like once they officially have sex .
Ive been here for a couple of hours , and Ive gotten to know his family , she told me , looping her arm through mine and walking me towards the crowd of people .
My mother had already disappeared , and I 1/2 Chapter 0133 could see Ethan speaking with a group of men , including his father .
What do you think of them ? I asked , bracing for her to tell me how awful they were .
Oh , they were so wonderful .
I cant imagine them being mean to anyone honestly .
Especially his sister , she breathed lovingly .
I cant wait to marry into this family .
I frowned .
Kelsey was Ethans 18 year old sister , and she was worse than them all .
I was glad they didnt treat Irene badly , probably because she was a Landry , but it still hurt knowing she fit in better than I ever did .
I bit the inside of my cheek , though , and chose not to say anything in response .
Well look what the wet dog dragged in , a crude voice sald from nearby .
You have a lot of nerve showing your face here .
