“You should have known better, Minnie,” Jake said. “He could be dangerous.”
“He is not working for Victor,” I said, shaking my head. “And I wouldn’t have had to turn to him for help if they had told me the truth sooner.”
Jake said nothing, but I could see he wasn’t going to agree with me.
He grabbed my arm and stopped me from pacing around. He pulled me to him and wrapped me in a tight hug.
“You need to be careful, Minnie,” he said and placed his chin on the top of my head. “I can’t lose you again.”
“You will not lose me, Jake,” I said, wrapping my arms around him.
“I love you,” he whispered. “I thought I would die when I saw him take you away from me. I can’t live through that again. I can’t let them take you.”
I tensed up in his arms and he rubbed my back gently.
“Nobody is taking me away, Jake,” I said quietly.
I looked up at him and smiled.
“Let’s go finish dinner,” I said and took a step back from him. “They are angry enough. I don’t want to leave them hungry as well.”
He smiled at me and took my hand in his. We walked back inside and continued cooking.
CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN – Visitors
Gabriel’s POV
I watched Jacob pull Aria outside.
My breathing was shallow, and I clenched my fists. What the fuck is she thinking?
I stormed out of the kitchen and saw Nick pacing in the living room.
He raised his head as soon as he heard me.
“Where is she?” he growled.
“Outside with Jacob,” I said and leaned on the doorframe.
He growled and continued pacing around.
“What the fuck is wrong with her?” he growled.
“She is done, Nick,” I said. “No more talking to him.”
“How can you be sure?” he shouted and raised his hands. “She has been talking to him for Goddess knows how long, and we never knew.”
“I will block him from her phone,” I shrugged. “I will watch her. I don’t care if she gets mad. I will do what I have to.”
I heard the back door open. Aria and Jacob walked back inside and continued preparing dinner.
“She will be the death of me,” Nick sighed and ran his hand through his hair.
“Calm down a bit,” I said. “Vampires will be here soon.”
He growled and sat down on the couch. I turned around and walked back to the kitchen.
Aria heard me come in and turned her head slightly.
