CHAPTER 65
I walked the rest of the way home in a daze. I still wasn’t sure if I had heard Tyler right. Did he say that they were going to mark me before the war? I know that will make them more in tune with whatever is going on with me and it might save my life if Ava and Wesley get me alone somewhere. But I also know that I can take those two on.
They also know that I can take them on. So they would have to have a better plan than them attacking me and trying to catch me by surprise because that would never work.
When I got back to the house Wesley was standing in my front yard, looking into the forest that was behind my house.
“What are you doing here?” I asked.
“I wanted to see if you were hungry. It’s almost dinner. There’s a really nice restaurant a couple of towns over.” Wesley said.
“Yeah. I guess I could eat. Just let me go and get changed.” I said.
So I went inside and I went up to my bedroom.
I walked inside my wardrobe and I grabbed some fancier clothes to wear while I was out and grabbed my phone.
ME – Going to dinner with Wesley. Restaurant a couple of towns over. I don’t know what place he is talking about.
DEAN – We know the place. We’ll follow behind after we see you leave.
ME – Make sure you wait about 10 minutes. He’ll notice if someone is following.
So I got changed and I did my hair and a little make up before I walked back downstairs and grabbed my jacket and bag.
We left the house and got in Wesley’s mercedes and we drove for about an hour to get to this town and he pulled up right outside the restaurant.
It looked pretty fancy and I was guessing that it was where he was used to eating at.
We didn’t have anywhere like this where we lived. So he was either missing his old life or he was trying to impress me.
As soon as we walked in they sat us near the window and I started looking at the menu.
“This is a really nice place.” I said.

“Yeah. Someone at the hotel recommended it. I didn’t even know that it was here.” Wesley
said.
I glanced out the window and I saw the triplets drive by slowly looking in at me and I was able
to relax a little.
I wasn’t sure where they were going to park or what they were going to do while we were here. But I felt real uneasy about coming here without anyone knowing where I was.
And they would have been pissed if they saw me leaving the house with Wesley and I didn’t
tell them.
They knew that they had to hide. We couldn’t risk Wesley seeing them. And if he did then they had to look like obsessed ex boyfriends or something like that. It was the only way to play it
off. And I had let them know that as well.
“So, there is something that I wanted to talk to you about.” Wesley said.
“Sure. What’s up?” I asked.
“Have you ever heard of the supernatural council?” He asked. And I sat there thinking back to all the conversations I’d had with all my trainers.
“No. I’ve never heard of that.” I said.
“Well, it’s made up of one member from each species. And the problem is, they recently found out about you. You’re the first of your kind.” He said.
“Yeah. I’m aware of that. Do they have a problem with it?” I asked.
“No. It’s more like they just want to meet you. To find out what you can do. And your abilities and everything like that.”
“Oh. Well, that’s flattering. I guess.” I said.
“Yeah. So, I haven’t really been given a choice. I’ve been told to get you there so you can meet
them.” He said.
“Where are they?” I asked.
“They’re in New York State.” He said.
“So, we’ll be gone for a few days.” I said.
“Unfortunately.” He said.
“When do they want to meet me?”
“As soon as possible. I told them that I have to talk to you first. I’m not going to force you onto

a plane.”
“Well, thank you for that. I appreciate it. But I don’t know if I can leave right now. I’ve just
started training the kids in the pack. And apparently there are more people coming from California. They’ll be here soon.” I said.
“Nova. This isn’t your pack. You don’t belong to a pack. Remember.” Wesley said.
Saying that felt like he jammed a knife into my heart and started twisting it. But I had to remain calm and pretend like it didn’t bother me as much as it obviously did.
“Yeah. I know that. Let me talk to Alpha Grayson and let him know that I’ll be leaving for a few days. I did make a commitment to him and I should at least talk to him about it before I take
off for a couple of days.” I explained.
“That’s fine. Just don’t mention the supernatural council. He isn’t meant to know what goes on
in that building.” Wesley said.
We sat there and tried to have a pleasant conversation which was a little hard when all I could
think about was this damn council that he wanted me to go and see. It was driving me crazy.
But I managed to make it through dinner and when we walked outside, I didn’t see the triplets
anywhere but I knew that they were close.
Wesley drove me home and instead of going inside my house I walked to the packhouse to
see Alpha Grayson.
I explained the whole situation to him and the triplets came in while I was talking to him.
They still had to pretend like they were pissed with me and that we weren’t seeing each other. So they sat on the chairs in the living room listening in to me telling Grayson that I would be going away for a couple of days and that I wouldn’t be able to train the kids while I was gone.
He asked a lot of questions and I did what Wesley told me to. I kept the supernatural council a
secret. But he knew that there was something going on with me.
Since I wasn’t actually a member of his pack, he couldn’t order me to tell him what was going
on and he couldn’t order me to stay.
I said goodnight to him and I looked at the triplets before I walked out of the door and headed for my house.
As soon as I got there I went to have a shower and I walked out of the bathroom wearing a
towel.
I don’t know why I wasn’t surprised, but the triplets were in my room when I walked out of the
bathroom.

“I told you guys to stop being so reckless.” I said.
“We need to know about this trip.” Koda said.
“It’s with the supernatural council. He’s taking me there tomorrow on his private jet.” I said.
“Were you going to tell us?” Tyler asked.
“I was going to message you. It’s the safest way at the moment.”
“What are we going to do? You’re not going there alone.” Dean said.
“Well, you can’t be seen. And no one else from your pack can be seen. Wesley made it really clear that I wasn’t allowed to tell anyone.” I said.
I walked into the wardrobe to get dressed and then I grabbed my laptop and I sat on the bed
and turned it on.
The guys saw me opening some strange program and it had several files that hadn’t been opened yet. So I started opening them and listening to Wesley’s conversations in his hotel
room.
“What the hell is this?” Koda asked.
“I bugged his hotel room.” I said. And he chuckled like he was really surprised.
A lot of it was just a bunch of bullshit.that I didn’t care about until he started talking on the phone with some man.
“So, she’s going to the council?” The man asked.
“Yeah. You gather the men. Attack the pack while she’s gone.” Wesley said.
“What about Ava? She wants Nova there to make her death look like an accident.”
“I know she does. But I don’t care. I want that pack. So you go for the triplets and their father. And then that pack will mine as well as the supernatural council.” Wesley said.
I looked up at the guy and they were all looking at each other, confused and not sure what to
- do.
