Heath moved quickly to me and picked me up. Logan mouthed, “You good?” I nodded. He smiled at me as his mate ran in and hugged him. I’d actually met her at the Bad Ass Girl Gang day. She was really nice, and I liked her for Logan. They looked so happy.

Bjourn said, “Your wolf is not happy he could not come with us, little sister. He had to deal with clean up.” My heart pounded in my chest. He said little sister last to give me a heart attack. His pointed look told me so. Did everyone know my secret? Haley clapped, “Yay! He’s already riled up for our game.” Bjourn snorted.

Heath whispered, “I was so scared, Lex.” I assured him, “I’m fine.” Heath pulled back and inspected me. He turned to Haley, “Thank you.” Haley shrugged, “There’s no need to thank me.” Heath sighed, “I need to get back and start looking for a different leak. Noah is obsessed with taking you, now they are trying to kill you.”

I nodded, “Haley and I came to the same conclusion.” Heath said, “I’m not discounting this could be Noah since he’s crazy. He’s been rejected, rightfully so in my opinion, by his string. We ALL know the War Goddess won’t give him another one. He’s going to be crazy. He could’ve lost all reason.”

I admitted, “I don’t think it’s him.” Haley reasoned, “You know I despise the fucking Troll, but I agree; this isn’t him.” Heath argued, “It could still be him I just need to make sure. I don’t want to write anyone off.”

I hugged him, “I love you, Heath.” Heath had tears in his eyes, “I love you so much, Lex.” He hugged me tight, “Don’t leave me, little sister. I need you.” I assured him, “I won’t. I’ll be around to bother you for quite some time.” Heath laughed and wiped a tear.

He stepped back and took a deep breath before saying, “I’m ready, Bjourn. Let’s head back.” Bjourn nodded, “For future reference, I ONLY did this because I would need to see Haley in your situation. I’m not your personal portal opener.” Heath smirked, “Duly noted. The future King of the Hackura is not my personal portal opener. I will have to rearrange all my plans.” Bjourn opened a portal and they stepped through it.

Haley suggested, “We should go before another portal opens and Ted comes through.” I laughed, “He’s probably waiting at my house.” She grabbed my hands and we popped into pandemonium. Haley laughed, “Witch bitches FINALLY get their comeuppance. You thought you could best ME? You are so fucking dead, you infuckingsulting witch bitches.”

I looked around, open mouthed. Matt and Ted were here, and I paused when I saw who else was. Frank Daniels? Why was he here? He was the first to speak as I assume everyone else was speechless from the scene of witches in various states of being on fire. Two were caught in booby traps and one was being electrocuted at the barrier of my home.

Frank asked gently, “Lexi, are you alright?” I glanced over at Haley. She didn’t notice Frank because she was taking some warriors of Chase’s to task over custody of the witches. I politely answered, “I’m fine Frank, Thank you.” He nodded.

Ted jumped on me and gave me a bear hug. Frank stepped back behind a tree so Haley couldn’t see him. Ted was in tears, “I’m so glad you’re alright.” Haley yelled, “FUCK NO! You can’t have them they are MINE! I’m the one who stopped them with my fairy fucking hijinks! Did you pull fairy hijinks? NO! MINE! MY WITCH BITCHES TO TORTURE!”

One warrior poured water on one of the witches’ heads. Haley jeered, “That won’t fucking work! I’M the only one who can PUT THEIR HAIR OUT. It will burn FOREVER if I so desire.” Ted and I both laughed. That was so Haley.

Matt asked, “Is that how they were marked? Your alarm system is intense, Haley.” Haley smiled, “Yes, a witch’s hair on fire is quite the mark, right? I’d obviously know they tried to get around my damn protections. It can’t easily be confused with something else.”

Matt snorted, “No… no it couldn’t be. You can take the witches with you.” Haley smiled, “I knew I liked you, Matt.” Haley gathered up the witches, chanting something that seemed to make them all seemingly unable to move. She turned to me and gave me a hug then whispered, “Feel free to flash to me with Demons on your six anytime.” I smiled, “Thanks for healing me, and having my back.” Haley tipped her invisible hat, “Always!” With that she popped away.

Frank asked, “Are you really ok? Chase was very upset.” I brushed his concern off, “Thank you for your concern, but I really am fine.” Frank was about to say something when I was grabbed from behind by Chase. I turned and put my arms around him. Everything felt right again. I had missed him. When we pulled apart everyone was gone.

He led me upstairs and turned on my shower. Was he reading my mind? How did he know I wanted a shower? Then I realized he probably wanted one himself. I quickly took off my clothes. I knew this had to have been hard for him. Alpha wolves liked their reports immediately and always wanted answers. This really must have shaken him.

I could see his shock when I told him our going theory this wasn’t my ex. After several moments he finally asked me, “What? Why?” I grabbed my soap and cleaned myself off. Chase did the same. I grabbed us towels and stepped out.

I picked up his hoodie off the floor. He smiled as I put it on. I stated, “They are trying to kill me now.” He growled, “WHAT?” I walked him through the logic, “They shot at me. Haley said there was poison in my system from the bullets. OH GOD! Kevin and Kincade! They didn’t get hit, did they? I can call Haley back…”

Chase cut me off, “They didn't get hurt. They are a little upset you took off without them.” I sighed in relief, “I knew the Demons were after me. I was leading them away from them. Those bullets made me delirious. I thought someone was helping me. Maybe. I don’t know, it was crazy.”

Chase growled, “Why didn’t you come to me?” I raised an eyebrow, “Last I knew, you were near your house. You know where your little sister lives. I wasn’t leading demons to you or your sister.” Chase growled again but tilted inclined his head acknowledging I had a point.

I pointed out, “I was hurt too, I needed Haley.” He nodded, “Since they really are trying to kill you, are you still going on a mission on Halloween?” I nodded. He sighed, “Please take Kincade and Kevin with you.” I rubbed his arms, “I can’t. I would if I could. They are going with you though, right?” Chase sighed, “Yes.”

I remembered someone else was there. I asked, “Wait, did that Alfred guy get hit?” Chase growled and tackled me onto the bed. He snarled, “You’re mine!” I was shocked, “I know…” Chase kissed me possessively. Somehow, I’d triggered that response. I wasn’t sure how, but I was here for it. I was already wet, and Chase hadn’t put pants on after the shower. I arched my back. Chase placed the tip of his dick on my clit. He murmured, “So wet.”

He plunged inside me. I gripped the top of his biceps with my arms. I moaned, “Chase….” He pounded into me, “You are so fucking wet! You are MINE!” His voice turned into a growl at the end. I screamed and shattered all around him.

He didn’t stop. He flipped me onto all fours and gripped my hips slamming into me. He was growling, “MINE! MINE! MINE!” I turned my head in time to see him bite his arm again. A small part of me felt sad. I was definitely coming around to him marking me if I was sad he didn’t. I locked eyes with him, “I’m yours, Chase. Only yours.” He gripped my hips with both hands again and came with a roar as he pounded into me.

He slowly pulled out. I turned around to face him. I asked, “What happened? Did I say something?” Chase sighed, “Alfred was interested in you.” I laughed, “I know. He asked to show me around.” Chase growled again. I quickly assured him, “I declined, obviously, because I’ve got my own wolf. He’s all that I need and more.”

Chase kissed me. When he pulled back he declared, “I will kill anyone who even tries to take what’s mine.” I placated him, “Don’t sharpen your knives just yet. Alfred went away with grace.” Chase growled, “He shouldn’t have said anything at all.” I pointed out, “He couldn’t possibly know. We aren’t advertising that you're my string and I’m your mate.”

Chase disagreed, “He absolutely knew you were with me. My scent is all over you.” I questioned, “Then does he not like you or something?” Chase snorted, “I’m not currently his favorite person. I’m probably making his life complicated, but that’s not exactly my fault. I also don’t care.”

I nudged him, “Whatever the reason, it doesn’t matter. I don’t want to go on a date with him. One day you and I can go on a date though.” Chase pouted, “I was going to take you out tonight before we both got roped into dinner.” I smiled asking, “How were you going to manage that?”

He grinned, “I have a restaurant.” I teased, “I know, I’ve been there.” Chase laughed, “A different one. I was going to shut it down for us. Are you available Friday? I know we both have Halloween plans, but I could shut it down Friday night for us.” I told him honestly, “That sounds lovely, albeit crazy to miss out on Friday night revenue.”

Chase kissed the top of my head, “I don’t care about the revenue. I want to take my mate out in public. Speaking of, can you get away the week before Christmas for a long weekend getaway?” I smiled, “I have a mission on Christmas Eve, but as long as we are back before that I can manage.”
