I sat on my bed looking at my phone and I really didn’t want to have this conversation right
now because I knew Evelyn would be up here screaming at me soon for having anything to do
with Logan. She’ll definitely be pissed that I went to have something to eat with him.
ME – Hey Lexie. Just got home and saw your messages. Can I talk to you tomorrow at school?
LEXIE – Can you just tell me who he is? Simple answer.
ME – My mother’s ex boyfriend. And the one that I liked the most. That’s it.
LEXIE – He’s young.
ME – These are the questions I don’t want to answer. I’ll tell you everything in full tomorrow.
Good night.
I went to have a shower and got ready for bed, but when I walked back into my bedroom
Evelyn was there.
“What do you want?” I asked.
“What the f**k were you doing with Logan?” She asked.
“We went to eat.” I said.
“You know that I hate that son of a bitch.” She said.
“And you know that I don’t hate him. I like him. I like him more than any other man you ever
brought home. So get f****d. You can’t stop me from seeing him.” I said, putting my things on
the bed and I turned to face her.
As soon as I did she slapped me across the face, the same cheek with the stitches, and I felt
the blood start to run down from where the stitches had just been torn open.
I looked back at Evelyn and she had anger in her eyes and I had to take a couple of deep
breaths because all I wanted to do was to beat the living crap out of her.
“Get the f**k out of my room, right now.” I said, very calmly but dangerously.
“You deserved that.” She said.
So I grabbed her by the wrist in a grip that she couldn’t get out of and I physically threw her
out of my room and I slammed the door and locked it behind her.
I paced around my room for a few minutes trying to calm myself down before I did something
that I was going to really regret.

CHAPTER 18
When I managed to calm down I grabbed the first aid kit from the bathroom and I took it back to my room and locked the door and I sat on my bed and got the stuff ready.
I looked up to see Jasper peering through my window just as I was pulling the old stitches out
of my cheek.
“What do you want?” I asked.
“I needed to make sure that you were alright. I got the photo and I know who Logan is. I had a
feeling that your mother would go off.” He said, climbing in the window.
“Yeah. She’s a real f*****g charmer.” I said, being sarcastic.
I got Jasper to sit in front of me and he could hold the mirror while I restitched my face after I
had finished cleaning it.
“I’ve actually been outside for a while. I just didn’t come up until I knew that you had calmed
down. I don’t need you blasting me into a million pieces.” He said.
“She’s lucky I didn’t do that to her.” I said.
“Why is Logan here?” He asked.
“I don’t know. He said that he was here to check up on me. But he said that he wouldn’t be
available until 7pm tomorrow night. Making me think that he’s going to be busy until then.” I
said.
“You know that you need to be careful. You don’t really know why he’s here.” Jasper said.
“You think I wasn’t thinking that during dinner. I know that it’s too much of a coincidence for
him to show up now.” I said.
“And Evelyn has no idea who he really is?” Jasper asked.
“Evelyn doesn’t even know who I really am? How the hell would she know who he is?” I asked.
“I don’t know. Maybe she pays more attention to her boyfriends than to her daughter.” Jasper said, stating the obvious.
“Don’t stress. She doesn’t have a f*****g clue.” I said.
“Good.” He said.
“Are you trying to find out why he’s here?” I asked.
“I will be when I get home.” He said.
I looked at Jasper for a moment before I went back to stitching up my face.
When I was finished I put everything away in the first aid kit and I put that kit in the bottom of

my cupboard.
It was better off just being left in my room by the looks of things.
Jasper stayed for a while as we talked over a few things before he finally left and I sat on my bed with my sketchbook and pens.
I started drawing but this time I was sure of what I was drawing. It was Tyler’s face. His
beautiful, chiseled face that was so intense that it was absolutely gorgeous.
But today I saw a different side of him. A side that wasn’t so serious and he was actually talking and laughing and it looked like he was having a good time.
I was glad that he was having a good time with me. Like he wasn’t hating the fact that I was his mate. Even though I have to pretend like I know nothing about it.
I know that their father is going to try and get them to stay away from me now. But that’s more
impossible now, more than ever.
Especially now that Logan’s in town. Jasper was right. It can’t be a coincidence. I’m here to protect the twins and then Logan shows up.
He knows me and assumes that I will let me guard down when he’s around. He doesn’t know what I am either, but I know what he is. I’ve always known what he was.
I was worried when Evelyn first brought him home. But he never hurt me and he got really close to me. Like a real father.
I always thought that he started dating my mother so he could get closer to me. And we did become good friends, but my ability to hear thoughts makes things so much easier. And I know that he doesn’t know who or what I am. So, why is he here now? How could he possibly know that I have any connection to the twins? The whole night he was just thinking about me and the stitches on my face. I could tell how pissed he was but he was managing to control it
while he was with me.
Or does he think that me being here is a coincidence and he is trying to protect me?
I knew that Jasper was going to start digging into why he was here. But I was gonna have to do my own work as well. To find out what he knows and whose side he’s on.
