CHAPTER 32
I had a pretty restless night sleep that night and I had to get up several times to check the
perimeter around the area like I had been doing ever since I arrived in town.
And when I woke up at 6am in the morning I went to the kitchen to get a coffee and I sat at
the table looking into the living room and out the front window.
“Morning.” Tyler said, walking downstairs.
“Morning.” I said.
“How did you sleep?” He asked, walking over to the coffee pot.
“Just fine. The same as usual.”
“Really? Why did you get up four times during the night?”
“I had to check the perimeter of the town.”
“Do you do that every night?” He asked, sitting at the table.
“Yeah. I have to. You saw how easy it was for that witch to sneak up on us yesterday.”
He sat there looking at me for a moment, obviously now knowing what to say but maybe now
he was starting to understand how serious I was taking this job.
I guess they didn’t like to think of them as my job since I’m their mate. But I think of them as my targets to protect. And they don’t like it.
“Well, what would have happened if you found something last night?” Tyler asked.
“I would have dealt with it.” I said, staring out the window like it was no big deal. It really wasn’t a big deal for me. I was trained for this.
“What’s the plan here? Everyone is coming after us so how are we going to fend them all off?” Tyler asked.
“That’s what I’m here for.”
“But you can’t fight them all off at the same time. Not if they have all joined forces.” He said.
“Tyler. Would you just relax? I know what I’m doing. We know what we’re doing. All of us that
have come here to protect you.” I insisted.
Koda and Dean got back to the house just after that and also poured themselves a coffee and sat at the table where Tyler and I were sitting.

CHAPTER 32
“What did dad find out about the witch?” Tyler asked.
“Nothing. There’s no information floating around about witches anywhere.” Dean said. “Well, she wouldn’t say anything except that she’s terrified of that boss.” Koda said.
“But we don’t know who the boss is.” Tyler said.

“He commands all the witches. He’s a warlock and he doesn’t mess around. She wasn’t strong which meant she was just here to observe. Not to fight. He isn’t ready to attack yet. He’s still gathering information.” I said.
“Do you know who he is?” Koda asked.
“No.”
“Well, how can we find out?” Dean asked.
“Scarlet is already trying to find out. She’s been trying to find out for months. But no one talks about him. He has them terrified. They would rather die than be left at the mercy of him.” I explained.
“And we don’t know where to look for him.” Tyler said.
“If you’re thinking about taking the fight to him then you can forget it. You’re never going to find him.” I said.
“How are we meant to win this fight?” Dean asked.
I looked at all three of them and the looks on their faces. They were expecting me to come up with something brilliant, but there was no brilliant plan. Right now, we just needed to keep
these people away from the triplets. At all costs.
And the triplets obviously thought that there was some massive plan already in place but
there was nothing like that. Us being here is what was going to protect them.
We had a few tricks up our sleeves but that was it. Right now, we just have ways of holding
them off. Killing the little attacks that they throw at us.
We didn’t have anything if these species all gathered together to fight as one and destroy this
pack.
I just got up and put my cup in the sink before I walked upstairs.
I got changed into a black and red sports top, matching tights, socks and sand shoes.
I walked back downstairs and down to the basement where I had set up all my exercise
equipment in one room and the other room was the soundproof firing range.

CHAPTER 32
As soon as I walked down to the gym I heard the guys following me and once they got downstairs, they couldn’t believe at how I had set up the whole basement.
They helped build the house but they never imagined that the basement could be used like
this.
I turned on the air vents to get the air circulating from outside and I started with a bit of cardio and then I did some weight training.
After that I went into the firing range but I put a wooden cutout of a person down the end of the room and I stood up the other end of the room with the throwing knives.
The guys were standing behind me and I had six knives in my hand and I threw them fast and efficiently in only a matter of seconds. Hitting the target in the head with every knife.
I had guns on the wall as well, but I preferred the knives. I did use guns if I had to, but I used the knives mostly. I always carried a knife around with me. They were easier to hide.
“How often do you train like this?” Koda asked.
“Every day.”
“Really? Even when you were living with your mother?” Tyler asked.
“I had to find somewhere else to train when I was living in her house. But now I’m in my own house and I don’t have to hide it.” I explained.
We all stayed in the basement for a couple of hours before we went upstairs and we got a call from the Alpha.
I didn’t even have a chance to get changed before we left my house and walked up the road to
theirs.
We went into the living room and Ava was there with Theo, Jacob and Izzy.
“We have been trying to find out more about the witches. They seem to be the ones that are
making the most moves towards us. But there is nothing. We can’t find anything on any witches.” Grayson said.
“Did you expect them to advertise whenever they come to town to try and kill your sons?” I
asked.
“Nova. Respect.” Ava said.
“Why? He’s not my Alpha. I don’t have an Alpha.” I said.
“How the hell are we meant to stop them if we don’t know where they are or how many there
are?” Grayson asked.
CHAPTER 32
“Nova.” Ava said.
“What do you mean?” Tyler asked, confused.

“She knows when they’re near. And if there’s more than one. She can sense them. That’s why we had to hurry up and get her here.” Ava explained.
The triplets all looked at me and I couldn’t believe that they were surprised by that after what they saw last night. But I guess there’s still a lot that they don’t understand about me.
“Do you know if there’s any near us now?” Grayson asked.
“No. Not at the moment. But I still have to do another perimeter check.”
“My patrols are out there. Ava said that you were doing checks all night last night.” Grayson said.
“It’s part of the job.” I said.
“We’re not your job.” Dean snapped at me.
“Well, she obviously doesn’t respect the mate bond.” Izzy said.
“Just because I like your mother and brother, doesn’t mean I am going to go easy on you. I beat you once, I’ll do it again.” I said, staring at Izzy. So she sat back on the couch with her
arms crossed.
She got even worse when she realized that no one was going to come to her defense.
“How do I keep my boys safe?” Grayson asked.
“Nova. Tell them.” Ava said. But I looked at her for a moment before I looked around the room.
“There are a few ways that we can keep them safe. From keeping them in the packhouse until the threat is gone to removing them from here entirely.” I said.
“Where are we going to go? They’re going to be looking all over the country for us.” Dean said.
“I’m not talking about the country.” I said.
“Nova is able to open portals to different realms.” Ava said.
“You want to take them to a different realm?” Grayson asked.
“That will be the last option but if it needs to be done, I’m prepared to do that.” I said.
And the triplets looked at each other like they were worried that it might come to that. But I said that it was only a last option. When nothing else worked. Or if someone got too close to them and we needed to get them out of here in a hurry.

CHAPTER 32
They didn’t seem too pleased with it, but I didn’t care. I was going to do what needed to be
done in order to keep them safe.
