Dear Diary,

The pas few weeks have been boring. I sent most of my time training with Jordan and Stella and spent time with my parents. Dad taught me to drive, and Mom took me to get my license. But I wanted to do more. Everyone had something to do but me. Jordan was still in school. Stella had her Coven to run, Mom and Dad were generals, so they had training to run and pack and clan business. James has work. I was just Marcy. Filling my day until James came home.

Oh, before I forget, Stella and I redecorate the penthouse. But before that, we stopped by James’s office to bring him lunch, and we ran into a warlock who seem… off. In a bad way. I told James to be careful of him. He gave off sinister energy. Hopefully he heeded my words.

James’s birthday was also this month. Jacob and I worked together to surprise him with a party that I think turned out well for the most part. Stella masked everyone’s scent, so no one knew there were other species in the room. We said it was so James won’t find out about the party, but it was also because James told me how his family could be when it comes to mixing species and hybrids.

We were able to enjoy the party. But at the end, when people started leaving, Casey showed up. It was actually funny at first. My biggest tormentor ended up being jealous of me and thought I was trying to steal her mate. Devyn is James’s cousin, that’s why he was there, but she thought I was sneaking around with him. How ironic would that be?

It was truly comical, until she tries to out me in front of everyone. Devyn rejected her before she could get the words out. But I ended up telling everyone anyway.

I finally understand why James didn’t want me to meet his family. But surprisingly, it wasn’t his brother or father who insulted me. It was his mother and sister-in-law who demanded he reject me. They called me names – nothing I haven’t heard before. But still hurtfull.

Kevin seemed to be the only one to accept me right away, and Lee apologized and told me she was happy I was mated to her brother. And that brought me comfort. But I think the best comfort was James still choosing me.

I think, I’ll end it here. Hopefully next time I’ll be back with good news. Like maybe we’ll be engaged. Or maybe this whole prophecy thing is a joke.

Wishful thinking until it comes true.

XOXO
