The guys and Annie sat down on the couch, chatting excitedly. I guess they really were good friends.

“Do you want anything to drink?” I asked them.

“Beer would be nice,” Jack said and looked up at me.

I nodded and walked to the kitchen.

Blake and Cassie were sitting down at the table, chatting with Jacob and Aria.

“Mike and Jack are here,” I said as I walked to the fridge to grab beers.

“We are done here,” Jacob said. “We will be there soon.”

I nodded and walked back to the living room. The guys and Annie were still chatting, and Nick was glaring at them with a frown on his face. I sighed and walked up to them, handing them the beer.

I sat down on the other sofa and took a sip of my beer.

“So, Annie says you are willing to help us,” I said, wanting to get this over with.

“Yes,” Mike nodded and smiled. “Annie said you need a safe place, and I can help.”

“Why would you help us?” I asked and leaned forward. “What do you get out of it?”

“Nothing,” Jack said. “We want to help because Annie is our friend, and you are important to her.”

I looked at Nick who still had his eyes on Jack.

Before I could say anything, we got interrupted. Blake, Jacob, Cassie and Aria walked in. Jack’s eyes found Aria and a big smile spread across his face.

“Hi, Aria,” Jack said.

“Hi, Jack,” she smiled back at him.

Nick growled and grabbed her, placing her on his lap. His eyes narrowed as he glared at Jack.

“You must be the mate,” Jack said.

Nick nodded and tightened his grip on her.

Cassie sat on the couch next to Annie and Blake grabbed two chairs for him and Jacob.

“Would you like to have dinner with us?” Aria broke the uncomfortable silence.

“We already ate,” Jack smiled at her. “Thank you, Aria.”

She smiled back and nodded.

“Okay, do we agree to go to Mike’s cabin?” Annie asked with a smile on her face.

“Not so fast,” Nick growled. “How can we be sure they are not working for the inquisition?”

Mike and Jack furrowed their eyebrows and looked at him.

“Why would we be working for them?” Mike asked, surprised. “They are humans.”

“Not all of them,” I said and their eyes snapped to me.

“What?” Jack asked as his eyes widened.
