If she thought that would deter me, she was sorely mistaken. Not only did I have an ulterior motive, but I needed to see her and the calm she brought to me after playing referee for the last hour.
Before I could text her back, another came through. This time from Kyren.
Vamp Daddy: Where’d you go?
Shaking my head at how predictable my vampire was, I sent back:
Me: To see our girl.
Vamp Daddy: You’re leaving me withhim.
I sighed. Even now he was giving me a headache about the hunter. Deciding enough was enough, I sent Kyren one last text.
Me: You two fight it out or fuck it out. Idc but keep me out of it. I’m going to get this note that caused all this.
Honestly, I could totally see Julian and Kyren banging each other’s brains out while I was gone. Not that they liked each other in any capacity, but you know what they say.
Hate sex is the best sex.
Cranking my car, I sent Jack a message back.
Me: So an at-home date. I'm good with that.
It took a moment before she replied.
Jack: Fine. But if my dads find you here, I’m not saving you from their interrogation.
I laughed, putting my car into drive before taking off through the academy gate and toward Jack’s house. If she thought her seven dads were enough to scare me away, then she’s never faced down a pack of angry wolves, all demanding that you stay and be their alpha. I’d face her dads any day of the week versus going through that again.
By the time I pulled my car into the driveway at Jack’s, I had a missed call and several text messages from Kyren. All of which I ignored. Kyren was practically ancient but could be such a baby sometimes.
Still, I had all faith that he could handle one hunter who wasn’t actively trying to kill him.
Walking up to the front door, I prepared myself for the inquisition that was about to come. Except before I could even knock, the door opened, Jack standing there, out of breath.
“Come on.” She grabbed my hand and yanked me inside. Without an explanation she dragged me behind her up the stairs.
I chuckled under my breath.
“Shhhh,” Jack said over her shoulder as she paused to listen.
My ears twitched, searching for the sounds of her parents in the house. There was muffled talking and then something slammed against the wall.
“Crap. Come on.” Jack’s panicked expression was so adorable it was hard to keep from grinning as we raced up the stairs and into her room where she closed and locked the door.
Barely two seconds later, there was a knock on her bedroom door.
“Go away,” Jack called out, gesturing to me to sit on the bed.
“Oh, come on, Jackie,” a voice called through the door. “We just want to talk to him.”
“That’s the werewolf, right?” another voice murmured on the other side of the door.
“Shhh,” the first voice shushed him.
Jack scowled at the door. “After the other day? No way. You’ve lost all privileges to my love life until you can act like the mature vampires you are.”
There was a collection of groans out in the hallway that made me snort in amusement.
