Aria nodded and smiled. “Sure. A movie sounds fine.”
We all walked to the living room and took our seats. Annie made sure Aria and Nick were sitting on the couch and we sat on the sofas. I gritted my teeth and looked at Nick. He couldn’t be happier if he tried.
Annie gave us the choice between the first Avengers movie or Spiderman: Homecoming. After a short debate, we settled for The Avengers.
The movie started and I glanced toward Aria. She sat farthest away possible from Nick. I saw him frowning and I smirked. It’s not going to be that easy, buddy.
I focused on the movie again. I actually enjoyed watching it, even though I had seen it several times before.
I was interrupted by Nick’s loud sigh. We all looked at him, but he didn’t meet our gaze and just stared at the TV. The girls looked away, but I kept my gaze on him. I knew something was bugging him.
A few moments later, he looked at me and I raised my eyebrows. He frowned and looked at Aria’s lap. I followed his gaze and saw a phone on her lap. So, she was playing with her phone, what was the problem? I looked at him confused and he just shook his head. I will ask him later.
The movie ended and Annie turned on the lights.
I got off the couch and walked toward the kitchen.
“Do you guys want a beer?” I asked.
The girls nodded and Nick got up and walked behind me.
“I will help you,” he said.
I didn’t really need help getting four beers, but I guess he wanted to talk to me.
He walked in and leaned on the kitchen counter, his hands in fists. What the hell happened?
“Nick, man, what is it?” I asked him.
“She is texting someone,” he said, gritting his teeth.
“And you are this angry?” I laughed. “It is probably one of her friends with lady parts, man.”
“What friend, Gabriel?” he stared at me. “She has Annie. Everybody from her village is dead.”
He is right. I didn’t think about that. Who is she texting?
“Maybe she met some girl at that party she and Annie went to,” I suggested.
“No. She met a man,” he said, and I could see his eyes flickering between natural brown and wolf black.
“How do you know?”
“I just do,” he growled. “I will kill him.”
I think Nate came forward.
I walked to him carefully and placed my hands on his shoulders.
“Nate, give Nick control,” I said slowly. “She doesn’t know, Nate. You will scare her.”
He growled and I saw his eyes going back to brown. I let go of his shoulders and took a step back. Nate was getting more powerful.
Nick sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.
“I am not used to Nate coming forward this much,” he said. “I am having trouble controlling him.”
“It will get easier,” I said and took four beers from the fridge. “Let’s go ask her.”
