My eyes closed and I gasped as another vision hit me.
I was sitting beside Ranger Lovell in a room, that was his name. The boy who hugged me yesterday. I knew him. He was my friend.
“Stop messing with our mate,” Jett teased him, but Ranger just shook his head and hugged me closer.
“You need to learn how to share.” He replied and Jett chuckled.
“Oh, little brother, I already know how to share. Mekhi and I are very good at sharing Clare… isn’t that right, Clare bear?” I rolled my eyes at him.
“She is very good at sharing with us too.” Jett added.
Ranger groaned and stood up. Jett took his spot and pulled me into his lap
“No need to be gross, I didn’t want to hear about your sex life.” Ranger mumbled as he left the room and I slapped Jett’s chest playfully.
“Yeah, don’t be telling him our sex life… that’s just for us.” I teased.
Mekhi entered the room, grinning when he saw me.
“Pooh bear, can you do those Viking braids again? They looked so unreal last week.”
I chuckled and reached out for him to come sit between my legs.
“Yeah, but don’t shift so fast this time.” I teased as I ran my hand through his inky strands. He turned and smiled up at me.
“I can’t help it that sometimes the big bad wolf comes out, he loves you as much as I do.”
Then, I saw two wolves waiting outside my house in the woods… I wasn’t scared of them.
I ran towards them.
My heart was thundering my chest as my vision returned and I saw all three of them, yelling…growling. My hand flew to my chest, holding my heart so it didn’t explode. I took deep breaths, trying to understand what I was seeing. What I had just seen.
“Can someone please tell me what’s going on?”
All three guys froze and turned to me; three sets of eyes now watched me. I felt uncomfortable, confused and lost. Why did I have these visions, what did they mean? I felt like crying and screaming at the same time. I was going crazy, there was no other way to describe this feeling.
I was going to be sick.
Chapter22
Jett
Ihad called the witch, Jade. Her sister, Vicki, was the one who reported back to her. She told me Vicki hadn’t mentioned he was a panther shifter. But she knew about him regardless and didn’t think to inform us. We were to know these things. We paid her for this one job, to report back to us about everything.
Not that we could stop Clare from dating someone, I guess that thought never crossed our minds. Still…ughI guess maybe it was better we didn’t know.
I got Vicki’s number and called her directly. I yelled at her for a good five minutes before she yelled at me for twenty more. She had guessed pretty quickly what we had done. She was full of rage and hate.
So angry in fact, that when the panther shifter came into Clare’s life, she said it was the first time she had really seen her smile. She could tell the connection between them was pure and real. She knew his panther saw Clare as his mate. He was protective and made her laugh. “something I didn't know she could do.”
The guilt at her words hit me hard. Clare hadn’t been happy? She didn't laugh? Those were things she did all the time, I lived to make her smile. Her laugh was infectious.
Vicki didn’t tell her sister about him being a shifter. She didn’t want us to know and ruin the one bit of love and happiness that she deserved.
She was right, and I blamed myself for messing this all up. The one piece of information she gave me, the one useful thing that Vicki just had found out, was that Frankie Nameer wasn’t a student there. He was a low rung shifter in his Shadow, who pedaled drugs on campus. She said she didn’t believe it at first, but she had her source tell her that. I didn’t want Clare mixed up in that. She was too good for someone like that, even if he did make her smile. That was no excuse to let her be with a criminal.
Mekhi had promised me he wouldn’t do anything rash, he swore he wouldn’t go to her. But when I woke this morning, he was gone. It took me hours tracking him. He tried hard to lose me, but I should have known he would go to her eventually. It would have been smarter for me to have just waited for him at her house, instead of following my tail around in the woods.
