Chapter 22
As we were all sitting around the packhouse I could see Jasper standing by the window keeping a lookout and Ava was sitting on the chair with Theo. "How do you two know each other?" I asked.
"This is Jacob's dad. He's my mate." Ava said.
"Wait a minute. Jacob and Izzy are brother and sister?" I asked.
"Yeah. Why?" She asked.
"How the hell did that happen? I like Jacob. She's a bitch." I said.
"I've heard about what she's been doing. But I hear that you've been holding your own." Ava said.
"Of course I have. Did you really think I was going to let that thing boss me around?" I asked.
The door opened again and Jacob walked into the room.
As soon as he saw me standing there he got a wide smile on his face and I ran over and jumped into his arms and hugged him as well.
Suddenly there were three loud growls from the other side of the room. All coming from the triplets.
An unmated male was touching their mate, and even though they were uncertain about me
right now, they knew that they didn't like him coming anywhere near me. So I quickly backed away from Jacob. "Would you three relax? He's like a brother to me." I said.
"Well, he actually is my brother so stay away from him." Izzy said.
"Izzy. Cut your shit." Jacob said. And I smirked at her. But she started sulking and walked off
into the other room.
"Alright. So, we've got all these people coming after us. What the hell are we meant to do now? "Dean asked.
"Fight them, hide from them or run from them. Those are basically your only choices." I said.
"We didn't see anything driving into town. Not even in the forest." Jacob said.
"Well, that's good. I think." I said.

"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Either they aren't here yet, or they are here already in position." I said.
"We've got patrols roaming around our house. If anything happens outside, we'll know straight away." Grayson said.
"What about your house?" Koda asked.
"What about it?" I asked.
"What if they attack your mother and stepfather?" He asked.
"They can have them." I said. And Ava scoffed.
"I can see nothing has changed there." She said.
"No. Were you even planning on coming to see me while you were in town?" I asked. But she pulled out her phone and showed me the photo of me and Logan having dinner.
Izzy sent her own mother that goddamn photo.
"Logan. That's why you're here." I said.
"We don't know if he's on our side or not. Or if he's figured out who you are and he's using you to get to the triplets." She said.
"I'm honestly trying to think that the only father figure I've really had in my life isn't using me to get to the triplets." I said.
"I know. And I'm sorry to even suggest it. But you were only 14 when your mother was dating him. You're older now and he might see you differently." Ava said.
"You said that you would never see him as anything more than a father figure." Tyler said.
"Because I don't. I told you. I'm not going to screw someone who's been with my mother. That's gross." I said, screwing up my face.
"He always has to go for younger women. You need to be careful." Ava said.
"Why was I sent here if everyone thinks I'm so f*****g stupid and incompetent?" I asked. So
she put her hands up in surrender.
They know that I'm not stupid and I would not allow anyone to come near the triplets. I was tasked with making sure they stay alive so that's what I'm going to do. And I haven't taken any wolfsbane in a while so it's gonna start to wear off and soon my wolf is gonna come out and
she's gonna be pissed.
She's gonna go after the first enemy she sees and kill them with no mercy. And honestly, I

wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't give me back control and insists on staying in wolf form for a while. Just to get back at me.
She can be pretty stubborn.
I guess we're meant for each other in that way.
I sat on one of the side chairs thinking about a lot and looking at that photo of Logan. I was trying to think back to the times that I have spent with him and he's never mentioned the triplets. He's never asked me about them. He's never asked me if I'm dating anyone.
He hasn't done anything inappropriate with me. He's just been the same old Logan that I've always known.
If he's here for any other reason then he's a better actor than I am.
But that also got me questioning things. Why hasn't he asked me if I'm dating anyone? Is he
starting to think of me like that? Is he thinking of me in a completely different way than he should be?
I know that all of his girlfriend's have to be younger. Has he chosen me to be the next one? "I'm meeting up with Logan again tonight." I said.
"Not alone." Tyler said, abruptly.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"I'm not taking any of you." I said.
"Bullshit. You think he might be a danger. I'm going with you." Tyler demanded.
"You can't." I insisted.
"Why? Why the hell not? Are you starting to think that he wants more?" Tyler asked.
"You sound like a jealous boyfriend Tyler. Knock it off." I said.
"Why the hell can't I go? Just answer me that." He insisted.
"Because he's a f*****g vampire." I snapped. And the whole room went quiet after that.
