Chapter 36

Shane greeted Jessie as he approached the front door.

"Hey Jessie how have you been?"

"Hey Shaney boy! I have been good, How have you been?" Jessie said as he stuck his hand out for a handshake.

"Great thanks!"

"And who is this beauty?"

"Jessie, this is my mate Sierra, Sierra this is my old friend Jessie."

I stuck my hand out to shake his hand but instead of shaking it he grabbed it and pulled me into a hug. I was taken by surprise and didn't know what to do. So I let my hands fall to my side.

"Wait a minute"

Jessie pulls me back and looks at me and then at Shane and smiles.

"If this is your mate… then that makes her Luna!"

"That's correct.." Shane answered

Jessie immediately lets go of me and backs up a step to bow before me... I started to blush. He was being way extra for no reason.

"I didn't know how long you were going to need me here, but I packed a few things just in case."

"Yeah, that's perfect... I am thinking just a day or two if that works for you."

"Yeah, that works."

"You can just leave your bags right there and I will have someone grab them and bring them to the spare room."

"No problem."

Shane then led us into the office so that we could get down to business. We all took a seat. I sat on the back side of Shane's desk with him while Jessie sat in front of us.

"So the reason I have asked you to come here is because we need some information about Logan." Shane stated dropping the bomb on Jessie.

"Like what kind of information?"

"I will let Sierra tell you."

"I want to know about an event that happened a little over 20 years ago."

"What kind of event?"

"There was a pack that was attacked and the whole pack was killed. I am not sure if you even know about this..."

"I have heard about this... The Blue Mane Moon Pack…."

"Yes, that is right... What have you heard about it.." I questioned nervously.

"I heard that the pack had something that Logan wanted, and when they had invited him to whatever gathering it was he agreed to go but with the motive to get it."

"Do you have any idea as to what it might have been that he was there to get?"

"I am not too sure, but I can find out.." He said and something didn't sit right with me.

"What the hell was so important to him that when he didn't get it the only option was to kill the whole pack." Shane added sounding very upset.

"I don't know… It does seem a little excessive that the whole pack had to be taken down because of it."

"Yeah…" That was all I could say as visions of that awful day flooded my mind.

"Can I ask you a question?" Jessie was looking directly at me.

"Of course…"

"Why do you want to know about this?"

"Well because it was her pack that was attacked…" Shane answered for me as I could not bear to speak of that day.

" Wait… You are the girl that got away?"

"I am… why have you heard about me.." I questioned feeling a little uneasy.

"Unfortunately yes I have.."

I am in complete shock and so confused, what does he know? I sense that he knows more than he is saying. I have a feeling that he isn't the good guy. Shane thinks he is though.

"Tell me what you have heard…"

"Well, I heard that she was the only one that got away. Also that she has whatever it was that he was looking for.."

Shane looked at me in utter disbelief.

"Please find out what it might have been that he was looking for." Shane begged

"I will do my best to find out anything I can."

"Thank you so much." I responded grateful for any information he could come up with.

"Anything for my best friend and his mate!"

***** Jessie’s POV *****

I haven't seen Shane in a very long time. It came as a shock to me that he even called and requested me to come to his pack. I have never been here.. What he also doesn't know is that Logan also knows that I am here.. So of course he has asked me to find out some things for him..

"So how long have you two been together?"

"For a little while now.." Shane spoke and turned to me with a huge smile on his face.

"I see that you are both marked... You both must be so happy."

"Honestly I am very happy. I haven't been this happy in a long time." She turned to Shane returning the smile.

"That is great to hear. Hey Shane, wanna show me around the pack? This is the first time that I Have been here."

"Sure, I mean there isn't much of a difference from other pack houses.."

"Oh come on! It’s your pack house, Shane! There has to be something exciting here. How about this... You show me around and then you can introduce me to any single she wolves here."

"Or how about this... I can show you around and then you can mingle during dinner with whoever you want.."

All I could do was smile. I knew that what I was doing was getting to Shane... And to let you in on a little secret that is exactly what I wanted to do… Shane and I used to be friends. He left me high and dry a long time ago... But he has a heart and that's a bad thing. Neither of them has an idea of what is going to happen. That weekend after Shane left his uncle's pack we talked for like 3 months... And then he stopped calling. Without an explanation, he was no longer my friend. And then today 20 years later he calls and requests me to come to his pack. Now he and his mate want my help... Little do they know the help I will be giving them...

***** Sierra’s POV *****

Sitting in Shane’s office with him and Jessie was not the most comfortable. He was acting very strangely. I can't put my finger on it just yet but something seems off about him. I can't put my finger on it just yet but something seems off about him. Once we got finished talking the only thing I could think of was getting out of that office as fast as I could. I knew that I could use going to check in with Gram as an excuse to get away for a while.

"Hey, Shane? I am going to go over and check on Gram if that is okay."

"Sure babe! Want me to come with you?"

"No! I wouldn't want to take you away from your friend. You go and spend time with him and I'll be back before dinner."

"Alright babe."

The three of us left his office and we walked back towards the living room. Once there Jessie plopped down on the couch and turned the TV on. Shane walked me over to the front door and opened it for me. I knew that if I spoke out loud Jessie might hear what I was going to say.

"Shane, I am getting really weird vibes from Jessie."

"Yeah, I was sensing that when we were in the office."

"Good I thought I was the only one."

"No babe, I planned on this situation going south anyway."

"What do you mean?"

" Don't you worry about that right now. You go and see Gram. Tell her I said hi. I will link you when it is almost dinner time and you can bring her and Ramiro back with you."

"Alright…"

Shane then kissed my head and told me he loved me.

"I love you too."

As soon as the door closed I took off running. I don't know why, but I knew this whole Jessie thing was going to end up bad. I don't know how or why yet... But I can feel it in my bones.

***** Gram’s POV *****

It has been a few hours since I arrived at my new home. It was bittersweet stepping into this place. I have never been anywhere other than the home that I lived in with Sierra. I know that I have Ramiro here with me now to help me but I have to say I miss her more than anything..

**KNOCK KNOCK**

Ramiro got up quicker than I could think of even asking him to get the door. We had finished putting almost everything away except for some of my clothes. I told him I would worry about that tomorrow.

"Gram, Sierra is here!" Ramiro shouted.

The minute he said that my heart exploded with happiness. It was as if she could read my mind. I got up from the couch as quickly as I could and made my way over to her. I wrapped my arms around her and she mirrored my movements. Out of nowhere, she began to sob...

"Child, what is the matter?" I questioned her.

I guided her over to the couch so she and I could talk.

"Ramiro dear, please put on some tea for us." I knew asking him to do this would give her and me a bit of privacy.

"Sure" he answered.

"Tell him love, why are you crying.."

"It's a long story.."

"I love stories…"
