Chapter 309

How about the people I am sure of first? She countered, thoughtfully, pushing herself back against the tub. Taking her feet, rubbing the soles, I waited. You, Ben, Oakley, Jack, Nonno, Casey and Jamie. “Jamie?” I questioned, “Yes,” he is someone I can trust, I mean through it all, even after everything he’s still on my side. He is my energy. Jack is my Beta. Casey is a jokester but he has my back, always on point.  I nodded agreeing with her, I also think we should have Ava, because her gift will be grow, my mind went back to the drive by shooting when we went to dinner, that force-field-wall that she was able to put up to protect us. “You’re right, at her fullest potential there’s no telling how far she could throw it eventually with practice and a boost,” Ava had only done it one time, and without being in danger she has not done it again. Then Rainy and I would like Logan as well, but more Rainy, her gift… did you see it? It was – I’m not even sure.  I gazed at the wonder in her eyes, no fear. Still I nodded, loving the smile on her beautiful lips. Marlon, Lux and Grant… you also said that you had a Fae friend right? A strong one? Well I want him or her there too. My eyes flew open, “Really?” Chelsea snorted, “Of course, allies Gabriel. The Elders are trying to railroad them, us… I meant what I said, my enemies are the people trying to use me or kill me for power. I’m not just going to build an army of only werewolf shifters… it’d be too small. I want people, who want what I do, who are fighting the common enemy. Not holding a grudge or preconceived notion of what was passed down… things are changing Gabriel. Declan is mated to a werewolf baby and he’s a vampire, you trusted a Fae, Kaden? Right?” I smiled, “No love, Kaden is mated to Etta, she’s the Fae,” I felt immensely proud, not because I had anything to do with how she thought or was behaving now, but just that she was mine. Chelsea was beautiful, kind, loving and brilliant, one of a kind, and mine – and soon she’d be mine in a whole new way. Gabriel, my team has found Robert Delaney, I heard and in shock I dropped Chelsea’s foot, but her eyes were bug eyed as well. She knew what I did, that Logan – his team – they had found him. . . . Oakley POV “That was so weird,” Tera said randomly, just after the final scene on the show ended, “I mean our mom’s were – it isn’t just me that noticed right?” She questioned Kiley and even me, like I had been here forever and knew her mom’s behavior. “Maybe she was just surprised to see Kieran in here,” Kiley said teasingly. “Maybe…” Tera said not buying it, “so Kieran came here… did you tell someone to tell him to come?” she asked quickly her words jumbling together. I shook my head, my face hot, “No, he just came and-” I cut off not sure what more to say, he couldn’t speak to me, he just looked at my leg and listened to me talk, “Maybe he was worried about you…” Kiley said nodding I just shrugged... Not sure why Kieran came to visit me, but inside I was happy. “Did you have a lot of friends back home?” Kiley asked, I laughed snorting a bit, “No… I had no friends… but it’s sorta my fault.” They looked at me curiously, their eyes asking for details, “So no boy friends or girl friends? At all?” I shook my head. “I didn’t go to school regularly and no boys… I mean I don’t think anyone in that town would’ve liked me that way,” they both frowned. “Why?” “Well… it’s a small town so everyone knows everyone. Everyone thought my mom left my dad, that she was this bad woman… I look like her therefore I would do what she did…”
