Megan’s POVI felt like I was on cloud 9. My mate and love of my life had just marked me. I had just secured a job once I leave high school. I got to be myself and practice my magic for a job. I could not think of anything more perfect. When we got back to the fire Victoria and Steve were snuggled up on a blanket talking quietly with each other. I ran over to them excitedly “Guess what?” I was so excited I was hopping from one foot to the other.“You let James mark you?” Victoria asked while looking at my neck“Well, yes that, but that’s not what I am excited about”“What could be more exciting than you man marking you?” Victoria looked at me with a perplexed look on her face.“Chad had offered me a job after high school. I am going to be the pack witch”“That’s amazing. I have to admit I was a bit worried about what you were going to do after we finish school. I know that I have been accepted into my courses and I am assuming that Jill has too”“Well now you can relax. I can not thin
Megan’s POVI was getting really pissed off. I was trying to study so I could at least say I passed high school, yet I could not make any sense of what I was readying. I threw the book in frustration.“Babe, its not the books fault” James picked up the book and walked back to me. Since school was pretty much over and it was just study and exams now, My parents let us stay with the boys.“I know, I really want to pass the exam. I am not bothered about getting top marks. I just want to pass, but none of this makes any sense to me”James picked up the book and started to look through it “I am actually really good at maths, want me to help you study?”“Are you for real?”“Yeah, it’s the one subject I actually got” He came and sat next to me on the bed and started to explain everything in a way that I would understand. Before I knew it a few hours had passed, and I actually felt confident about my exam in the morning.“Come on lets go get some food” James offered his hand to me, and I glad
Chad’s POVI was so happy that Jill’s mum had got back in contact. I knew that Jill enjoyed the time that she had with her when they were in my pack. Since I now know who her father is I could fully understand why she did not want Jill knowing. Even though he found out about her anyway thanks to fucking Angela. She was being sensible living in the centre of town. He would not risk trying to get to her with humans around. I had heard the rumours regarding Aaron and hunters. I was not sure how much of it was true, but the rumours are that he was captured and tortured by a group of hunters. That is apparently why he is so cruel and heartless now. The torture made him that way. I am not sure how much of that is true, but either way he will never receive an ounce of sympathy from me. While I cooked breakfast, I kept thinking about the hunters that kidnapped Aaron. It happened when he was just 15. His parents did not even look for him, his father was apparently just as bad as Aaron is now.
Jill’s POV“Yeah, he has been watching me. I think he is going to do something that will make Chad and my friends leave” I looked down as I spoke“I think you are right. I have seen him meeting with a witch and she seems very powerful, but also young. She looks like she could look your age”“Why would it matter how old she is?”“Because I think that he is trying to get her within your circle”“That would not be easy as my friends all know that he is planning something, so they are on alert. Someone trying to join our group would alert them”“Who is getting alerted” Chad asked as he handed us our coffees and menus.“My dad has been seen with a young powerful witch. Mum think dad will use her to get to us”“It wont work. Unless the witch is able to mask her magic, we will be able to sense her straight away”“Just please be careful. Aaron is very smart as well as evil. If he wants to get you away from Jill, he is very likely to succeed even if you are aware that it is coming”“I will mak
Jill’s POV After lunch we left the café and I made sure to remind mum to give the waiter a chance. Chad took my hand, and we walked back to his truck. I felt someone watching me so looked over my shoulder to see my dad stood there with a beautiful lady beside him. She looked to be just a bit older than me. I was assuming that she was the witch that my mother mentioned. Chad noticed me and followed my gaze. I felt him stiffen beside me. I started to panic thinking this was it, but he shood his head and leaned down to kiss me. He kissed me like his life depended on it and I let him. “They tried to mess with your mind didn’t they” “I felt them trying to make me forget you. Your mum is right she is powerful. We need to be on high alert” I tried to hide back my sob as Chad gripped my hand tightly and dragged me back to his truck. Once we were seated and driving, I let my tears fall “They will try again” I sobbed “I know they will babe, but we will all make sure that we are ready” “He
Megan’s POVI smiled to myself as I held on to James’s waist. I loved been on the back of his bike. I felt so free. Suddenly I looked up and spotted Aaron hidden in the shadows talking to a beautiful women. As we rode past them, I felt her immense power.‘James babe, I need you to find somewhere to pull over’He didn’t reply, he just pulled into the next parking space on the street and turned off the bike. He climbed off and then lifted me off. “You noticed them too”“She was a very powerful witch. Way stronger than me”“He is going to send her after us”“I think so, Can we try sneak up on them and see if we can find anything out?”“We can try”“I will put a cloaking spell on us. It will hide our scent. It wont help if they spot us, but will help us stay hidden as long as we stay out of sight”“Ok”I smiled as I quickly did the cloaking spell “Ok, lets go we need to stay hidden”We both quickly walked back to were we saw Aaron and the witch. Suddenly we saw that Jill and Chad had just
Chad’s POVI looked over to Jill and saw her face turn white. I lifted her chin up so she would look at me “We will fight this babe, even if I have to hold your hand for the rest of my life”“You know we can not always be touching” A small sob escaped, and I pulled her head against my chest. I hated this“Can we do anything to protect me?” I looked at Megan hoping she would have some sort of spell“I am not strong enough to use a spell against her. She has specialised in manipulation. I won’t specialise till I turn 18. The only person who I can protect is James because he is my mate”“So, you can make it so that James won’t be effected?”“He is already protected. I got a tattoo done on him the other day. It protects him from any witch trying to use magic on him”“Whatever happens I want you to protect Jill” I used my Alpha command in my voice he could not refuse“Dude, even if you didn’t ask me to I would. She is Megs best friend and I also enjoy hanging out with her and teaching her
Chad’s POVAs soon as I talked to Jill about only going out as a group it made sense. I quickly mind-linked the guys ‘Would you be happy for us to all start going out as a group again? We were thinking that strength in numbers. If they witch tries anything, if all of us are there one of you can just push Jill into my arms to break the spell’‘That might actually work’ James sounded excited‘But how long are we going to do that for? Aaron wants to get to Jill, why don’t you just give in now let her get captured. She can then kill Aaron and all of this ends’‘Steve, I get what your saying, lets just stick as a group till at least after Christmas and New Year. It’s only a couple of months’‘Fine we will do it till the start of the year, then I want us to re-evaluate. This needs to happen for her to kill Aaron. Killing him will solve a lot of problems for a lot of people. I am sure that the two of you will be able to cope with some time apart knowing that in the end you will benefit a lot
