paused to take
another breath then dove back in “So about this fighting thing, what are you
training for?”
    “Like you said, Kira, everyone has
secrets.” I smirked and finished off my beer. Let her deal with that.
    Brandon and Logan traded looks before Brandon faced her, “You’re my new hero.”
    Annabella spoke up from next to him.
“Seriously, Kira, can I be more like you? I’ve been trying to put Jay in his
place for years now.” Obviously they’d been listening. Kira leaned in and
whispered something to her and they laughed. I could’ve listened but I didn’t.
    I rolled my eyes went to the bar where Trent was chatting with Max and Mena. Trent turned to me, “So how did the
questioning go? Did you break her and her evil secrets?”
    Actually, she had been the one
questioning me and I wasn’t really sure how that had happened. “We have an
understanding.” I brought my elbow onto the bar top “Joe, 2 beers.”
    “Coming right up” was his quick reply.
    I whispered in a tone that only my pack
could hear. “Max has you father heard anything more since the meeting
yesterday?”
    He looked around “Yeah but only stuff
your father already knows. I’m sure he told you too.”
    I gave him a look.
    “Right, ok never mind. We heard the
witch’s war is getting closer to home than we anticipated. Apparently, they are
set on us choosing sides.”
    Mena spoke up “It’s nothing we can’t
handle but it’s a dangerous place to be in.”
    I nodded, “We figured this would
happen. How are the parasites handling this?”
    Mena shrugged “The vamps say they are staying
neutral but we all suspect they are already working with the dark coven.”
    “No surprise there. How about the Fae?”
    Trent joined in “Nah, there’s no frickin’
way they would ever get involved in something like this.
    Max nodded “He’s correct. They’ve lived
too long and have their own petty wars to deal with to care about something as
trivial as this.” I hoped he was right because they would be the worst enemies
and terrible allies at best.
    “They better keep to themselves. If you
hear anything more, let me know.”
    Mira and Max nodded.
    Trent turned his back to the others so only
I could hear him. “Man, you have access to these meetings why don’t you ask
your dad, if you really care about this stuff?”
    I shook my head. That was not an
option. “If dear old dad knew I cared at all, he’d stepped down now and hand
over the reins.”
    “Would it be the worse thing in the
world? You would make a good leader, man.” I gave him a cold stare and he
turned away. “Whatever man, your call” he said into his drink.
    Will appeared with his arm around
Demi’s shoulders, “We’re going to head out.”
    I was surprised it took them this long
to get away. They had been getting more serious lately and were spending more
time alone. It was annoying. “Whatever, man. Go play house.”
    Everyone went silent.
    Demi put a hand on Will’s chest and
gave me a venomous look. “Green’s not your color, Jay. Later all.”
    Max, Mena, and Trent replied their
good-byes and I noticed how stiffly Will walked out, anger filling his every
motion. I knew it was stupid but I thought I’d get an actual reaction out of
him. Maybe if he just jumped at me or something it would be better. I kept
thinking it couldn’t get any worse but I was wrong. I was just pissing him off
more and more. Well he was pissing me off too so I guessed we were even.

Chapter 5
Kira
    “So” Logan said “where are you from, Kiki? Can I
call you Kiki?”
    “ Boston , Massachusetts and um, no. Kira as a name is short enough, isn’t
it?”
    “Yeah, but you need a pet name, a
nickname.” I shrugged “If you say so, think of something else and let me know.”
    “Will do, so why’d you come all the way
to Brisdale , Florida ?”
    “Witness Protection Program.” I responded, deadpan.
    Brandon, Logan, and Annabella stared at
me blankly for what felt like
