My eyes snapped to her. Oh, my Goddess. She did it. She found it. I stared at her with my mouth hanging open.
“You did it,” I said quietly. “You found it.”
She looked at me and her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
“I found the power, yes,” she said slowly. “But I couldn’t hold it and feel what the hell am I supposed to do with it.”
“You don’t get it,” I said and walked over to her, taking her hand in mine. “All of us felt your frustration. You projected it to us. Your power is the same as mine, only you can project emotions.”
Her eyes widened in surprise.
“You felt my frustration?” she asked me in disbelief.
“Yes,” Jacob answered. “It felt like I was hit by a train.”
“That’s why I growled,” Nick said, crossing his arms over his chest and stepping aside so others could come in.
Her eyes roamed over all of us before they settled on me.
“What do I do now?” she asked me quietly.
“You practice,” I said confidently. “You need to learn to control it.”
She nodded and gulped. Her eyes were still wide and glued to me. I smiled brightly and pulled her to me. I wrapped my arm over her shoulder and kissed the top of her head.
“I am so proud of you,” I said, looking down at her. “I knew you could do it.”
She looked up at me and smiled.
“She is done for today,” Nick said sternly. “I can feel how tired she is, and you are not pushing her even more, Gabriel.”
“We are definitely done,” I said and let go of her. “She could hurt herself if she is tired.”
“How about tonight, before we leave, we have a girls’ and boys’ night?” Cassie suggested, ending our conversation. “I need a night with my Ari and you guys can use that time to get to know each other better.”
Nick and I exchanged looks. I knew he didn’t want to do this. But if they were coming with us and helping us stop Victor, we needed to be on good terms. I couldn’t have Nick jumping down Jacob’s throat every time he spoke.
“I agree,” I said, not moving my eyes from Nick. “We should get to know each other better.”
Nick frowned but stayed silent.
“Awesome,” Annie clapped her hands and ran toward Aria.
She grabbed her hand and started pulling her out of the room. Nick reached out to take Aria’s hand, but Annie pulled her away from his reach. She turned and pointed her index finger at him.
“Don’t even think about it, mister,” she said with fake anger. “You can have her later. She is ours now.”
Nick growled quietly and the girls chuckled. I smirked and watched the girls leave the room. They were already chatting excitedly.
As soon as the girls left, the tension in the room rose. Nick and Jacob were glaring at each other, and Blake and I were glancing between them worriedly.
This was going to be an interesting night.
Aria’s POV
After what felt like hours of convincing, Gabriel finally gave in and let Nick drive his precious car.
I was sitting in the back chuckling at Gabriel who constantly complained about Nick’s driving.
