The Strong Bond novel Chapter 53

"I swear the men in this family think way too highly of themselves" she says rolling her eyes making him laugh.

Walking up to the pack house Lena took a few deep breaths before knocking on the front door. She was debating all day about if she go to Keith, and tell him about Damian. Lifting her fist she knocked on the door hoping he wasn't home.

Moments later an older woman opens the door in her usually work clothes. Which consists of a light gray dress that stops above the knees, and a white apron.

"Good evening Miss Evans, what do we owe this pleasure" Miss Missoula the packs house personal maid greets with a smile. She was human who knew about our secret, because her family has been with this pack for a long time. I guess her mother use to work here, and before her was her grandmother. They took care of the pack and the pack took care of them.

"Hi Miss Missoula, is Keith home" Lena asks nervously.

"Of course he is! Come on in sweetie, I'll go get him for you" she says stepping to the side giving her room to step in. "Would you like anything to drink or eat?" she asks shutting the door behind them.

"I'm fine thank you" Lena smiles. "I'll go wait out back for him" she adds.

"Ok Dear I'll let him know" and with that said Miss Missoula left Lena to her thoughts, while she went to get Keith.

Lena didn't have to wait long for Keith to make his presence, because he was walking out just a minute after she did. She figured he would make her wait, or maybe even send her away. But what she didn't know, and Keith would never admit it out loud. He was happy she was there, but he also didn't want to talk to her yet. He knew deep down he was acting childish, and that was not a good quality in a leader.

Keith was going to be alpha soon, and he couldn't let his emotions affect him the way they have been lately. So the best thing he can do is to let the hurt, and anger that he felt go. Plus Lena never did anything wrong to him even though he was acting like she did. Before things started to get crazy the past couple of months, they were good friends. He would be lying to himself if he said he didn't miss that. He hated that his feelings towards her were making him act out the way he was. If he could go back in time he would do things differently, but that wasn't going to happen. So, he knew he would need to start making thing right between them, starting today.

"Lena" Keith spoke clearing his throat.

She quickly turned around looking slightly nervous, but tried to keep her composer. "Hi Keith" she whispers. They both stood there in awkward silence looking anywhere but each other. Neither of them didn't know what to say to the other, but one of them needed to speak up.

"All joking aside I would like to start over, and get our friendship back on track" Keith tells her truthfully.

"Really?" She questions hopefully looking for any signs that he was just saying that in hopes she would just leave him alone.

"Yes, of course really. Did you really think I-" he started to say, but he was cut off by Lena sudden attack.

Lena was overly happy that Keith wanted to fix their friendship, that she missed just as much as he seemed to have. She couldn't help but charged over to where he was, throwing her arms around him making him stumbling back some. "I was worried you hated me" she muffles, because her face was buried in his chest as she hugged him tightly.

"I could never hate you" he whispers hugging her back, and enjoying the moment before it was gone.

"Well, you might after I tell you the other reason why I'm here" Lena spoke quickly, realizing she still had to tell him about Damian.
