CHAPTER 53
I walked over to the couch and sat down with the triplets looking at me strangely.
“I came here because I came across this cabin ages ago. Just after I moved here during one of my hikes. I knew that it was abandoned. It just needed to be cleaned.” I started.
“That’s fair enough. This was our grandmother’s cabin. She won’t care if you’re living here.”
Koda said.
“Yeah. Especially since she’s dead.” Dean scoffed.
“Alright. Well, since I guess this cabin belongs in your family I’m not doing anything wrong. But then he showed up and I told him to leave. He couldn’t because the sun was coming up. He said that Ava called him. So, I’m guessing this is just another way of her trying to get
between us.” I said.
“As soon as the sun sets, you’re leaving. Or we’re ripping you apart.” Koda said. But I cleared my throat to get their attention.
“I believe the right to rip him apart is mine.” I said. And Koda nodded, agreeing that I could do
it if I wanted to.
“Really? After everything we went through, you want to kill me?” Johnny asked.
“It was s*x Johnny. And it was before I knew about my mates. And it was before Jacob.” I
said.
“Wait a minute. You were sleeping with that loser after me.” Johnny said.
“Only you thought he was a loser. But I stopped sleeping with him after I saw the triplets as well. The only people I am interested in having s*x with are those three. Get used to it.” I
yelled.
“You’re meaner.” Johnny said.
“I’ve had a bad couple of days. Ava called you on a really bad day.” I said.
“Obviously. Can you please go and fix the window so I can go back to sleep?” Johnny asked.
“There’s a basement.” Dean said. And I smiled at him.
“Follow Dean. He knows where the basement is.” I said.
Johnny looked at me in shock, but I didn’t change my mind. I wasn’t letting him back into the bedroom so he had no choice but to follow Dean down to the basement.

“So, a werewolf and a vampire. Are there any more that we need to know about?” Koda asked, sitting next to me.
“No. It’s just them.”
“Why would Ava call him? I mean, did you two have something special?” Tyler asked.
“He was my first. Maybe that’s why she thinks he’s special to me. He’s not. Not anymore.” I
said, looking away.
Tyler sat down next to me and he grabbed my hand.
“What aren’t you telling us?” He asked.
“Johnny is what made me realize that I wanted to be with you three and no one else.”
“How did he do that?” Koda asked.
“He showed up in Canada. Just after I got that vampire army to turn back. He bailed me up against a tree and kissed me. I pushed him away and I came back here. I practically ran the whole way back here. That’s when I found you three in my house, about to yell at me for drugging you.” I explained.
“That explains a bit.” Koda said.
“Maybe we should thank him.” Tyler said.
“I don’t think so. I want him gone. I don’t know why he seems to think that he’s so special to
me.” I said.
“Well, you do leave an impact on people.” Koda said.
“I don’t care about Johnny right now. I’m kicking him out tonight. We just need to figure out how to get Ava out of here. And how to get rid of Wesley.” I said.
“Well, that’s not going to happen. Dad is already talking to Wesley about a possible alliance.” Dean said, walking into the room.
“And you can’t tell him about Ava. Not yet. He won’t believe you. Theo and him have been friends since they were kids.” Tyler said.
“He’s not going to take my word over Ava’s and Theo’s.” I said.
Dean wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me over to him so my head was resting on his shoulder.
“Well, how big is the bed in there?” Koda asked.
“It’s only a double.” Tyler said.

“Well, the living room floor is big enough until we can get another bed here.” Koda said.
“You don’t have to stay here with me. You have pack duties to tend to.”

“And we have a mate to take care of. I know you think you need to be strong all the time. But we know that you are breaking right now. You’re just trying not to show it.” Koda said. So I reached my hand over and held his hand.
I didn’t know how, but they already knew how I was feeling before I felt it.
Tyler grabbed some firewood and he checked the fireplace and he got it all set up and started a fire because the inside of the cabin was freezing. Just like the temperatures outside were starting to drop.
“I really like it out here. It’s so peaceful.” I said as we were watching the fire.
Tyler sat on the floor right in front of us and rested his head on my lap.
“Dad never used to let us come out here.” Dean said.
“Why not?”
“Because he didn’t get along with his parents.” Tyler said.
“That sucks. But I know the feeling. What about your mother’s parents?” I asked.
“They live in a different pack. We see them occasionally. But not often.” Dean said.
“Do we have a plan out here?” Koda asked.
“Right now. I’m just staying out of the way. I see the way people look at me. They don’t want
me around.” I said.
“Well, we do. And that’s all we care about.” Koda said.
“You all had a private meeting and didn’t bother telling me about it. No one let me explain myself. Explain who I am.”
“Do you want to?” Dean asked.
“Not anymore. They’ve already made up their minds. The only way to prove to them that I’m not here to hurt them is by actions. Not words.” I said.
“Well, that sounds pretty positive.” Koda said.
“I guess so.” I said.
Dean pulled me closer to lay on his shoulder and we all just sat there watching the fire in a really comfortable silence.

CHAPTER 53
I knew they were gonna let me stay in the cabin for as long as I wanted. It was out of the way, I wouldn’t be running into pack members all the time and I felt comfortable out here. But I also knew that they hated having me so far away from the pack because if anything happens then they won’t get to me in time.
Even if I am the one that’s meant to be protecting them. I think it’s pretty obvious now that it was a mutual feeling. We were going to protect each other.
Especially now they knew that Ava and my father wanted me dead.
I wasn’t sure if they were ever going to go back to the packhouse. And right now, I didn’t really
care.
