“Gabriel,” Nick said with a warning tone.

“They have a right to know if they are going to help us,” I said, looking at Nick. “If we go there, they will be in danger as well.”

Mike and Jack nervously looked at each other before their eyes went back to me.

I looked at Annie and she nodded and smiled.

“You can trust them, Gabriel,” she said.

I looked back at Mike and Jack and started explaining.

Aria’s POV

I sat in Nick’s lap while Gabriel told Mike and Jack about Victor. He left out the parts about Calvin attacking me. I was thankful he did that. I didn’t need more people who would look at me with pity in their eyes.

I could feel how tense and angry Nick was. I tried getting off of his lap, but his hold on me only grew tighter.

When Gabriel finished telling the story, Mike and Jack were shocked. Their eyes glanced between Gabriel and me.

“So, you're telling me that a warlock is behind all of this?” Jack said. “And you two can stop him?”

Gabriel nodded.

“But why?” Mike shook his head. “Why is he killing other supernaturals?”

“It is a perfect distraction,” Nick said. “Humans always hated us, so he is using them to capture us. He is hoping to find the twins amongst those captured.”

“Although Calvin did tell us he gave up on finding twins,” Gabriel added. “He wants Aria.”

“Fuck,” Mike sighed and ran his hand through his hair.

“We want to help,” Jack said and leaned forward. “We want to fight against the bastard.”

“Definitely,” Mike nodded. “The cabin is big enough for all of us. It will be our base.”

“When can we leave?” Gabriel asked.

“Tomorrow,” Mike said. “Get some sleep and we leave early.”

“Great!” Gabriel said, excitedly. “Thank you.”

“No need to thank us,” Mike smiled. “We would do anything for Annie.”

“And Aria,” Jack added with a smile on his face.

Nick growled and clenched his fists.

“Calm down, mate,” Jack said, raising his hands in surrender. “She is all yours.”

“It would do you well to remember that,” Nick growled.

Jack chuckled and shook his head.

“Maybe we should go,” Mike said. “We will see you tomorrow.”

Gabriel and Annie stood up and walked them to the front door. I wanted to follow them to say goodbye, but Nick stopped me.

“I will go check on dinner,” Jake said and walked out of the living room.
