An Alpha for the Demigod by Ezra Dawn Read Free Book Online Page B

wanted to meet you
for so long but I wanted it to be your choice. Don’t worry though,
only Orion knows your real name, everyone else knows you by the
name Liam.”
    My mouth drops open in
shock. “Really?”
    “ Of course. You’re my
oldest boy. When I needed to keep my other boys in line I always
threatened to call you. They fell in line right quick too, let me
tell you.”
    I laugh and say, “That’s
great mom but, I um kind of got myself into a little
trouble.”
    She gives me the mom voice
when she says “What kind of trouble?”
    I look the Alpha dead in
the eye when I say “The kind that has me locked in the pack cells
right now.”
    She shouts loud enough for
everyone to hear. “LYKOS CASSIDY!! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU
THINKING?!!” I hold the phone away from my ear to protect it from
her shouting.
    I say into the phone “I’m
sorry mom.”
    “ SORRY MY FOOT!! I’m
coming down there right now!”
    She hangs up and I stare
at the phone. “Oh shit.”
    The Alpha…Orion stares at
me wide-eyed and says “You’re Vicki’s son?”
    I run my fingers through
my hair and say “Yeah? Sorry we’re meeting like this. I wasn’t sure
if she’d said anything to you or the family about me or not so I
stayed away. I was trying to protect her. I’m here because I wanted
to see her that’s all.”
    He looks over his shoulder
and shouts “Keith open this door! My stepson shouldn’t be in the
cells. If he’s in there when his mother gets here, she’ll kill all
of us.”
    Keith says “It’s not
locked. He can walk out.”
    We both look over at him
and say “You didn’t lock it?” Keith shrugs and walks off. I look at
Orion and say “Dude, you really need better help than that. He
didn’t even check me for weapons.” Orion shakes his head and we
walk up the stairs together. We reach the top and find my mother
standing there tapping her foot with her arms crossed.
    Orion smiles, kisses her
cheek, and says “Hi honey.”
    She glares at him, points
her finger, and says “You! You had my son locked in the cells!! I
am so not happy with you right now.” She punctuates every word with
a jab to his chest.
    He raises his hands in
surrender. “For the record, the door wasn’t locked and he was only
in there while I asked him a few questions. I didn’t know who he
was!”
    She raises an eyebrow at
him and says “Mhm…sure.”
    His mouth drops open in
shock. “It’s true!”
    She turns to me and smiles
“Lykos honey, it’s been too long. Look at you, you’re all grown up!
Come here.” She holds out her arms for a hug and I immediately step
into them. I can’t help it. I’ve missed my mother’s hugs. She uses
the opportunity to pull my ear and start in on her
lecture.
    “ What were you thinking?!
You could have been injured or killed! If you wanted to see me all
you had to do was call.”
    I wince. “Ow, ow, ow. I’m
sorry. I wasn’t thinking. I’ll call next time. Please, let go of my
ear.” She narrows her eyes but releases the hold on my ear. I rub
it gently to soothe the pain. “Devil woman.”
    She looks at me with a
raised eyebrow “What was that sweetie?”
    I smile. “Nothing. I
didn’t say a word.”
    She nods, seemingly
satisfied with the answer. “Well, since you’re here now why don’t
you come over to the house for an early dinner with the family? You
can meet everyone.”
    I nod and say “Okay.” She
loops her arm through mine and we walk out of the pack house
together. Orion follows close behind.
    She’s smiling the entire
time. “I can’t believe it. Just look at you, so many tattoos, I’ve
never seen so many. Except maybe, on your younger brother Julian
but you definitely have more than he does. You’re still so tall
too. I didn’t think it was possible for you to get any taller since
I last saw you but I think you have.”
    I laugh and say
“Probably.” We walk into the house and I’m immediately hit with the
amazing smell of food. My stomach growls and my
