Free The Lost Lyken by C.A. Salo

warm strength encased her from behind. “That’s not true, I am too a Decker.”
    “No you’re not! Why do you think Mom hates you? It’s because Dad and Grandma care more about you than her or me.”
    “You’re so full of shit!” Graham yelled. “You’re such a jealous bitch, Sasha, and so is Mom! Neither of you has ever accepted Kasey. You’ve made your own beds with your manipulative and jealous ways! Kasey is a Decker, and she’s more of a sister to me than you’ll ever be!”
    Kasey’s body shook with the knowledge Graham just spurted out and she was glad Evan stood behind her as shock swirled through her like a tornado. “Graham?” she whispered, his face softening as he met her gaze.
    “You are my sister, Kasey. Don’t ever doubt that, do you understand? I love you and that will never change.”
    “You’re just like Dad!” Sasha yelled.
    “Sasha, what did you do?” Rita gasped.
    Kasey looked over and realized that her mom, dad, and grandma stood in the doorway.
    “I told the stupid bitch the truth that she’s adopted.” Sasha smirked. “Finally after all these years the truth is out and we can make her leave! She has no business being here anymore.”
    Kasey gasped at the realization of how much Sasha truly hated her here. Their entire life Sasha had tormented her, but she’d thought it was just what big sisters did until now. Glancing over at her dad, she leaned back against Evan. Her dad’s ears were red, which was never a good sign. Oh God, he’s going to kick me out. Her breath came out raspy as Evan wrapped his arms around her shivering body.
    “You are wrong, Sasha,” Donald said calmly. “Kasey is Decker blood, she’s my blood, my daughter, and she’s not going anywhere. You are.”
    “What?” Sasha breathed.
    “From today on, you are on your own. All the credit cards will be canceled, you can leave the keys to my car on the sideboard, and you can find your own place to live. I am through supporting you and your spending habits. The things you’ve been given through your life are not a right, Sasha, they are a privilege. I suggest you go get a job or find a man to support you, because I’m done.”
    Kasey’s eyes grew wide as her mom and Sasha started arguing with her father.
    “Enough!” Donald yelled. “Rita, you can leave as well. Our pre-nup still holds so don’t try your shit. Sasha grew up hating Kasey because you instilled that into her the moment Kasey was brought into this house and I’m done with it!”
    “Well, how did you expect me to act?” Rita yelled. “You bring your dirty little bastard into my house and expect me to raise her for you?”
    Kasey tilted her head when her dad smiled.
    “You’re one to talk, Rita. I knew Sasha wasn’t mine from the moment you told me you were pregnant. After all, you couldn’t get pregnant when we didn’t have sex.”
    Kasey’s eyes widened and her mouth gaped as her eyes moved from her dad to her mom to her sister. Her mom called her dad a bastard before grabbing Sasha’s hand and yanking her out of the kitchen. “I think I need another coffee.”
    Donald smiled. “Me too, kiddo.”
    “Daddy, is what you said true?”
    “Yes, all of it, and I’m sure Evan picked up on it the moment he was within distance of us.”
    Kasey’s head tilted as she leaned forward. “Explain that,” she said, knowing she’d never give away the facts Evan had trusted her with last night.
    Donald grinned. “He’s Other Kin, a Lyken, and an Alpha if I’m not mistaken. Isn’t that right, Whitney?”
    Grandma smiled. “That’s what I’ve noticed.”
    Kasey gasped, and started sputtering. “What, I have no idea—what do you—you’ve lost it, Dad. Seriously, Dad, are you serious?” She snorted, glancing up at Evan nervously.
    “Sweetheart, Whitney and I have some things to speak with you about, but not now. I figured out I couldn’t trust Rita right after she became pregnant with Graham.”
    “So,” Kasey started
