Chapter 1

What would have happened if Massie had never left for London, and spent the semester with the Lyons, as promised.

"Eh-Ma-GAWD!" Massie screamed. Todd was moving his all new responsibility toy- the Abbot Dog – around on the floor. And it was making her manicured hands shake with anger, the toy threatening to destroy the new white parquet she had ordered for Kuh-laire's bedroom . "Todd, I swear, if you don't turn that thing of right now I will-"

"Breakfast time! Judi called. Todd blew Massie a kiss and ran downstairs before Massie could yell at him. "I would have preferred London over this," she grumbled as she walked into the kitchen and saw full fat milk and Cocoa Puffs on the table. But she reminded herself that this was what she wanted. Who needed her parents, or her potentional British boyfriend-James? This is better, Massie comforted herself. No matter how much her shaky stomach didn't agree with her. If Massie had to survive one more game night with the Lyons or sleep in the smaller half of Kuh-laire's bedroom, she didn't know how much longer she would last.

"Good Morning!" Judi singsonged. Massie smiled in return, then held it until Judi turned away.

"Come on, Kuh-laire!" Massie whispered."We have to go pick up the PC."

"But I didn't get to eat yet!"

"Kuh-laire, are you a type of fish?"

"No."

"Then why do you need to be fillet up all the time? Come on, let's go."

"Fine. Just let me tell my dad we're ready."

"Um, Kuh-laire:I'm ready, you're not."

Claire looked down at her light brown turtleneck and boot cut jeans. Layne thought the outfit was great. But she knew better than to hope that Massie would agree with Layne. Claire looked like she was about to argue, but knew better and just sighed and smiled. Despite Massie's flaws, she was grateful the alpha could stay.

"OK, be right back," Claire said.

Massie sighed with relief that Claire obeyed. If her temporary I'm-poor slip affected her alpha status, she would never recover.

Massie looked down at her first day after winter break outfit and smiled. Her red Charlotte Ronson ruffle blouse, black cropped Miu Miu jacket, white Burberry hem mini, and black Choo boots were the perfect combo of fresh, ready, and cute. Now she just had to help poor Kuh-laire decide.
