Jill’s POVWe had only just arrived in the house when Chad got a mind-link from James asking him to talk in private. I was hoping to tempt him in to joining me in the spa, but we had plenty of time for that. I ran upstairs and started to put on my bikini. I had only just got changed when Megan walked in.“I was going to go for a swim, but Chad mentioned you were going to have a spa. Can I join you?”“Of course, you can. Go get changed and I will meet you down there”“Grab some wine and glasses on your way” She called as she left the roomI didn’t bother grabbing a rob as it was super-hot today and I was thinking I might sunbath for a little bit after. I went to the kitchen and grabbed down the wine glasses. I was just about to grab the bottle of wine when Victoria came in.“Hey Megan and I are about to hop in the spa. Though to be honest its quiet hot so we will probably end up in the pool instead. Do you want to join us?”“Maybe in a bit. I am feeling quiet tired after setting up the
James’s POVI could not believe that Megan had told Jill about the book. If we had come out two seconds later Chad would have known. I thought that we had gotten away with it until Jill started asking Chad questions. I pulled Megan close and growled in her ear “Why the hell did you tell her?”“Because she asked me if I knew why Victoria and avoiding her”“You could have lied” I growled“I cant lie to her, I never have been able to. Maybe that’s one of her gifts”I turned away from her to listen in on Chad and Jill. From the sounds of it he had no clue that she was gifted. The way he was talking he would know. I had my fingers and toes crossed that this made Jill think that everyone was just going crazy. They finally changed the subject and started to talk about Prom. I finally relaxed and pulled Megan into my lap “It seems that you have managed to look out”“What do you mean?”“I have a feeling that we are all nuts and if she was gifted that Chad would know”“That’s what I don’t get,
Jill’s POVI woke up to an empty bed. I rolled over expecting Chad to be in the bathroom, but it was empty.‘Why did I wake up alone’‘Sorry babe, you were sound asleep, and my father asked me to do so some work. I am just in my office’‘Ok I will let you off’ I knew that he would sense my grumbling him his head as I climbed out of bed. As soon as I was out of the shower, I spotted Megan sitting on my bed.“I am guessing that James has left”“Yeah, he left when you were in the shower. Chad told me that I could come in here and wait for you”“I think Chad knows that he wont get much time with me today” I laughed “He is already locked away in his office working”“Then it’s a good thing that James went away. Chad can catch up on work, while you keep me entertained”“So, what are you wanting to do today? Its not like we can go out anywhere”“The sun is shining, so we could hang out by the pool. We could also give each other facials, maybe even play around with some magic”“Are you going t
Steve’s POVVic and I were just walking downstairs when we heard Megan mention that she would just be targeting me this time. I was worried as I was sure that Megan knew about the book. I was hoping today that I would be able to get James away from her so that I could talk to him.“What are we targeting Steve for?” Victoria asked“If I tell you that would ruin the surprise” Megan was trying to act all sweet and innocent“Should I be worried?” I looked towards Chad one for support and one to see if he was acting differently. I was hoping that James or Megan had not said anything.“Sorry dude I am staying out of this one. You can blame James. If he did not have to go back to the pack, then Megan would not be bored”Shit James was not here, if he was at the pack, he would be able to get access to books and do his own research. “James has left?”‘He needs to check on his brother and his mum. Megan thinks he is there on business for me’ Chad mind-linked meI nodded in response. I knew that
Chad’s POVI had just started looking into the Supreme wolf when Jill walked into my office “What are you doing babe? I thought you were having a girls day”“Change of plan. Steve was board on his own so we have all decided to play monopoly, so now you can come and hang out with me” She gave me her sweetest smile and I could not say no. I am sure that I would get another chance to do some research later. I let her drag me down to the lounge where the others were setting up the game. I was expecting Steve to act weird towards me like he has been. Instead, everyone was calm and having fun. Steve was laughing and joking with everyone like he used to. We started to play and by the end of the game I had forgotten that I was suspecting them of keeping secrets for me. It was like we had gone back in time to how things were at the beginning. We had just finished packing up and I was about to order dinner when James arrived back. Megan was instantly in his arms and dragging him upstairs.“What
James’s POV ContinuedAs soon as I walked through the door, Megan grabbed me and dragged him upstairs. As soon as we made it to our room, She shut the door and sat me on the bed “So we had a development while you were away”“What happened?”“Chad started looking into the Supreme wolf. So, Steve came and spoke to Jill and I. He thinks that we all should keep this between us and try to steer Chad away from looking into it. He thinks that if Chad knows about Jill, he will try to protect her and cause her to not develop her full powers”“Well, I grabbed this” I pulled out the book from my backpack and handed it to her “We might need to do some reading after dinner”“This will help us to make sure that Steve and Victoria are telling us the truth. The question is though, do we allow Jill to look at the book as well?”“I think that we should have a look though it first. If we then decide that Jill should know we will tell her. I am also going to tell Chad if I feel like he should know”“You
Steve’s POVIt was nice to relax and do something normal without feeling like I had to be careful. Chad seemed to finally relax into the game as well. I hate keeping things from him, I didn’t want to ruin our friendship over this. Now I had faith that everything would work out and our friendship would survive. When James arrived home, I watched his reaction as Megan dragged him upstairs. I also noticed his backpack and that it looked like he had something large and heavy in there like an old book. So that was why he went back to the pack. I wonder if he told his brother why he wanted the book. I was good friends with Todd. I know that he is a fan of the legendary wolves. He will have been the one to get the book for James. I was surprised when they came back downstairs after only a few minutes. I guess that they just went upstairs so that Megan could tell him about Victoria and I coming clean with them. I wonder if they would share the fact that they had their own book, or if they wou
Jill’s POVI watched Chad leave and I knew that he knew we were all keeping something from him. I watched his back as he went up the stairs and then I heard the lock to his study turn. He had actually locked himself in his study. He really didn’t want any of us disturbing him, even me.“We need to be honest with him. He knows that we are all lying to him”“You are over thinking it. He probably just got a mind-link from Brian and needs to do something” Steve tried his best to reassure me“If that was the case he would have told me that before he left. He didn’t he just left”“I think that Jill is right. I don’t feel comfortable lying to my best friend and future Alpha, especially when it relates to the woman he loves”“What if he tries to protect her and stops her coming into her full powers”“Steve stop and think, Chad wants the best for Jill. He would never stand in the way of her gaining power”“I think they are right babe, this is not our secret to keep. Keeping this secret is goin
