CHAPTER 42
As I took a step back to look at this vampire licking his lips and looking down at me with lust in his eyes, he took a step closer to me and I turned back to look at him with nothing but defiance on my face. Right before I punched him in the chest.
“Ouch. Was that really necessary?” He asked.
“What the hell do you think? Why are you sneaking up on me like that Johnny? You know I could have killed you.” I snapped.
“Yeah. But I knew you wouldn’t.”
“What the hell are you even doing here?”
“Well, I was going to do something about those vampires. I knew that they were getting closer to you and I didn’t want you getting hurt. But you seemed to have that under control.”
“Yeah. I’m not a weak little princess Johnny. You know that. Now, wherever you are living you
can go back there. Because I have to get home.” I said, walking straight past him.
“What’s the rush?” He asked.
“The rush is that I drugged the triplets because they were following me and now they are going to be so pissed at me.” I said. And he started laughing.
“You drugged them? How?”
“I shot them with tranquilizers filled with wolfsbane. They’ll be weak for a couple of days but it
won’t do any long term damage.”
“You really are a badass bitch.”
“I did what I had to. But they’re not gonna see it like that.”
“Oh no. They are going to hate you.”
“Go home Johnny.” I said, starting to walk away again. But he grabbed me by the arm and
pushed me up against a tree, pressing his body up against mine.
“Really? Is that all I get? We haven’t seen each other for over a year. How about a quickie for
old times sake?” He asked.
“I don’t think so.”
“Wow. You’re really invested in those triplets, aren’t you?”
“Yeah. I don’t really have a choice.”

CHAPTER 42
“What do you mean? You don’t have to protect them. You can walk away whenever you want.”
“It’s more complicated than that now.” I said, looking away from him.
He had to think about it for a second before he took a step back and he let go of me.
“Holy shit.” He said as he finally realized what I was saying. That the triplets were my mates.
“I have to get home. I’ll see you around.” I said picking up my bag and walking away without him saying another word.
I think he was too stunned to actually say anything at this point.
I didn’t know if he was going to follow me or not, but I was really hoping that he wouldn’t.
This would just be one more thing that I could argue with the triplets about.
Me sleeping with Jacob is one thing. But if they find out that I was having it off with a
vampire.
That’s something completely different.
Even though they choose to believe that I am only a werewolf and nothing else. I am a lot
more than that. I have proven it time and time again.
I can’t hate vampires like they can. Sometimes, I really wish I could. Because they do kill
people for sport.
Unless they’re like Johnny and they do actually feed on animals. It’s easy to tell as well. It’s
the color of their eyes.
If they are crimson red then they feed on humans. If they are their normal color that they had as humans, then they feed on animals. It’s easy to tell. If you can get close enough to see their
eyes.
I managed to cross back over into Alaska with no trouble at all and now I had the massive
trek back to the northern end of Alaska. But I wasn’t in a rush this time.
Maybe now I could take in the sights.
I definitely wasn’t in a rush to get home and see the triplets.
They are gonna be so pissed at me.
I made it so far when I finally stopped and turned around to see Johnny walking through the
forest towards me.
“You can’t follow me back to the pack. They will kill you on sight.” I said.
“I know. I don’t plan on getting that close to the pack.”

“Then why are you following me?” I asked.
He didn’t say anything. He just kept walking closer to me.
When he was right in front of me he grabbed me and pushed me up against a tree and kissed
- me.
It took me by surprise at first, and I didn’t push him away.
But when I got a flash of the triplet running through my head, thanks to my wolf, I had to push
him away.
“You know that I can’t.” I said.
“Yeah. Because you’re mated to those special little triplets. They’re children.”
“They’re the same age as me.”
“I’ve never seen you as a child.” He said.
“Maybe you should. You’re 250 years old. I’m 18. Pretty big age gap.”
Johnny stood there staring down at me, the same look in his eye that he always gave me that
made me go weak in the knees. That little half smile that all the girls swooned over. He knew
that it drove me crazy and he knew that it was having an effect on me now.
But it was different. My wolf was screaming at me in my head. Telling me to get rid of him.
We have found our mates and they are the only things that mattered to us.
And honestly, as much as I have tried to deny them, I can’t stop the way I feel about them.
I have tried to keep a distance from them. I have tried to keep us as a professional relationship of sorts, but it’s never going to work. Not as long as we are mates.
So I pushed Johnny away from me again. But this time, it was much more forceful and he fell back a few steps. Knowing that I was serious.
“Go home Johnny. I’m not going to tell you again.” I said.
I turned around and I kept walking until I started walking faster and it ended up into a sprint.
I ran for the rest of that day and most of the night before I finally decided to stop and rest.
But it was only for a couple of hours. Just to get a little sleep until the sun came up.
But I was eager to get home.
As soon as I was going again, I ran all the way back to the pack. Not stopping for anything.
I was just glad that I had brought rations of food with me so I didn’t have to hunt for my dinner

or anything like that.
When I finally got back to my house, I walked inside and all three of the guys were sitting at
the table.
They all looked pissed and they stood up as soon as I walked inside.
I stood there staring at them.
Seeing Johnny after all this time and realizing that I didn’t feel the same towards him as I did towards the triplets really made me realize that there was no way that I would ever be able to
reject them.
They were my mates. And that was never going to change. They weren’t going to reject me
and I wasn’t going to be able to reject them.
They already had this profound effect on me and I wasn’t even old enough to feel the full
extent of the mate bond yet.
How strongly was I going to feel about them when I was the right age.
f**k my training.
“You f*****g drugged us.” Tyler growled.
But I dropped my bag on the floor and I walked towards them, almost hypnotic. Like I wasn’t doing it. But I knew what I was doing and I knew what I wanted.
I grabbed Tyler by the shirt and pulled him towards me and kissed him.
When I pulled away he was standing there shocked and not knowing what else to say.
I did the same with Dean and then Koda.
“Make yourselves comfortable. I haven’t showered for a couple of days. I won’t be long.” I said walking upstairs towards my room.
