"What are you doing here?" I ask Cyan who just smile and hug me instead
"Let just say I was on my way to search for an old friend and happen to cross your border."
We pull away from each other 'thanks to her and Zeus for helping out" Eric hug me from the side gesturing at the two.
Milly stood by her mate with proud it was hard for her at first to accept Zeus but in the end she gave him a chance even though they are in distance they still keep contacts.
Zeus arms went around her making her blush "so what happened tonight?"
"Rogues, hunters and this time they came with vampires," Lucian says as he came from behind Alec and Dana.
"Vampires?" I threw a question look "surprisingly" Alec intervene "fair numbers from different kinds shows up tonight and thanks to Cyan for saving our ass," he concludes and only was hit by Dana at the back of his head.
"I think my brother did save your ass and hers" Dana narrows his eyes and Eric smile with pride. Before I could say anything else fogs appear and there stood my friend from. I can't believe she's here and it has been such a long time since we have seen each other apart from the time she betrays me.
"Jea" she smiles that I was used to. Usually when she smiles like that secrets would be out and she has the upper hand in everything.
"What a lovely reunion," Eric snarls at ready to rip off her head but I stopped him.
"You" he furiously pointed a finger at Jea "how dare you show up again after you send over your stupid minions," everybody else growls at her and Eric was near in shifting to his wolf.
"Ohhhh love this side of yours but I am looking forward to her reaction" she winks at me.
She walks around as if she owns this side of the border; from the corner of my eyes I could see Cyan narrowing her eyes at her.
"Cyan interesting thinking you could capture me yet you can't as I am now the number one. Your magic won't work again old hag," Cyan wasn't phase by it she just stares at her up and down with patient.
"What I send today is just a test but sooner or later I will send over the whole world if you do not hand her over," she stopped then gesture to me.
"Never, I'll kill her before that" Eric growls boom throughout the woods. Yet Jea laughs then her eyes focus on Lucian then to Milly "poor you mate of the Rogue and the Alpha," she shook her head.
"Oh how lovely to see my apprenticeship right Angie" this made her froze beside Lucian "what's the matter Angie change of heart with Zeus, the rogue's fearsome female warrior...what do they use to call you again" Lucian growl at her.
Lucian on the other hand stood there ignoring Angie's pleading eyes on him to listen to her "we can explain please Lucian" too late as Lucian was on top of Zeus hitting him.
Milly suddenly threw him off her mate but before that she slaps Lucian "don't fucking touch him, he's my problem now and besides why don't you take your fucking anger on your mate.
She's also involved here, so back off" Milly turn and storm out of there. Zeus got up from the ground wiping off blood from his mouth "I can explain Eric, she's right that I have two mates but I can explain everything else...so please I beg you to hear me out" he tries and I know it was hard for him to do this but he admitted his mistakes and willing to take ownership of it.
I touch on Eric's shoulder, he looks aside then dismissed everyone else except Lucian and Angie, Zeus and I.
Cyan bid her goodbye and went with Alec and Dana to drive her back home even though she doesn't need any ride. We all stood there before Zeus told us the truth that it was Jea and his Hunter mate Elena who approaches him. He only did it for his mate but never thought he has been given another one.
As for Angie she says Jea can help her revenge against one of the Alpha who kills her parents that is why she helps her out nothing more.
Eric still wasn't satisfying by their reasons so we left that night back to the Pack house giving each mates time to themselves.
"Twenty minutes for you talk your mates and then be gone before I kill you both," Eric warns them both before walking away and I follow behind him.
