I knew what he meant by ‘no loose ends’. If she needed to be killed, no one would come looking for her. I can’t believe it. She has been through so much in a short amount of time. It did ease my mood, but damn if I knew what to make of this.
“I honestly don’t know what to say” I said.
“We will do as we have been, we will watch from a distance and let her tell us what kind of person she is. Come Saturday, we will either let her leave or do as she wished or kill her. We do need to find out more about these rogues though. Send Maverik to find more information on the situation. On the downlow, we do not need this getting out. Increase border patrol and keep them attentive. If she is innocent, we do need to protect her and the pack. I will not tolerate an innocent person being harmed!”
“Yes, sir.” I got up and walked out the door. I immediately smelled pizza. I called Maverik first and gave him his assignment and then called Justin to get on organizing border patrol. By the time I finished with my phone calls, I found myself in front of the game room. They had ordered pizza and were about to turn on a movie.
“Hey, you going to just stand there like a creeper or are you going to join us?” Kelly asked.
“Hey sis, how did shopping go?” I asked.
She stopped in the hallway and got a sad look on her face. “We didn’t get much shopping done, when Liam here there was rogues, he brought us back. We did get dresses for your party though!”
“Ah, shit, sorry sis. I will find another day for shopping, but for now let’s just do online shopping, okay?” I asked. I did feel a little bad, but I would feel better if they were close.
“Yeah, whatever. We are going to watch a movie. Want to join?”
“Not really, I am going to grab a slice of pizza then go do some paperwork” I said. I had a mountain of paperwork on my desk.
“You never hang out with us anymore. So serious all the time!” Kelly said and rolled her eyes.
She stomped past me and I started following her to the pizza. As soon as I was about to grab a piece, someone bumped into me, causing my hand to smash into the hot pizza sauce.
“FUCK!” I yelled,
“Oh, sorr….” I started to hear a girl apologize before I realized who it was. I went to grab her arm tightly. Nina’s eyes were wide as saucers and had a partly panicked look, but I saw her fist instantly clinch and she was ready to swing too. I loosened my grip on her arm and let her go. She will have bruises where my hand was.
“Oh my god! It was an accident, Wyatt! We were playing and I pushed her, you didn’t need to grab her like that!” Ashley screamed at me. I gave Nina a quick once over. She was wearing light green shorts that came to just below her ass and a black tank top. Her cleavage was spilling out. Damn if she was fucking sexy as hell. She obviously just showered as I could smell her shampoo on her. Her hair was still slightly wet with a nice wave to it.
“My apologies, ma’am”, I said sarcastically.
Nina just rolled her eyes, grabbed a piece of pizza and walked off to sit down on the couch. I watched her hips swayed and how her ass bounced a little. Fuck, I was getting hard. Well, dad did say keep watch over her. I grabbed my own piece and followed her and sat down beside her. There was 3 other people on the couch already so she was almost sitting on my lap. I could do this kind of babysitting anyway! Kelly sat on the floor and gave me a ‘I saw that’ look on her face. I plastered a completely innocent look on my face and shrugged my shoulders.
“Alright! We are watching ‘The Conjuring’!” Brooke said happily. I don’t particularly like scary movies. I can’t sleep with Nina if she is the enemy, so I will need to keep my focus. It is so damn hard with how fucking sexy she looks right now and how good she smells.
After about 30 minutes, Nina fell asleep and her head rolled over to my shoulder. I scooted over and repositioned myself so she would be more comfortable on me and I made it look like I didn’t mean for this to happen. No one could know I actually found her attractive. I needed to remain neutral. Zach looked over at me and saw Nina sleeping and he frowned. I watched him glance down at Brooke who was clinging to him for her dear life. I couldn’t tell if he wanted Nina or if he was happy with Brooke. Either way, I did not like how he looked at Nina. I almost let out a growl at that. If he even touched her, I would kill him. I will have to have a talk with him sooner rather than later, but I will need to keep a better watch over Nina. I am telling myself it is because she could be in danger and not because I want to fuck her.
“We need to talk, Wyatt”, Zach said. I looked over at him and he was staring into my eyes. Dead serious.
Wyatt POV
When the movie was over, I woke everyone up to go to bed and Zach carried Brooke off to bed. I told him to meet me in my office and we could talk before everyone woke up. Opening the door to my office, I made my way over to the bar. I had two scotches poured before I heard a knock on the door.
“Come in” I said. I grabbed each glass and as I saw Zach enter, I extended one to him. Zach took it and nodded in thanks and I motioned for him to sit down in front of my desk and I sat down behind it. Leaning back, I placed one ankle over my knee, took a sip and waited for him to start this talk.
“What are you doing with Nina? I have seen you watch her and the way you look at her… what is your deal?” Zach asked. He wasn’t quite sure what to say without being disrespectful.
“Let’s cut the crap. Don’t worry about disrespect and just fucking ask me what you want to.”
“Fine, I have seen the way you have watched Nina and I don’t like it. You need to stay the fuck away from her. She is not a play toy for you to fuck around with. I have heard staff and other members of the pack whisper that you didn’t discipline her when she punched Samantha and they think it is because you are sleeping with her already.”
“Interesting, and what claim do you have over her? I am under the impression you are mated with my sister, so why do you care what she does?”
To his credit, he didn’t even flinch. “I love Brooke and will never hurt her in anyway. I have a loyalty to Nina and I will fulfil that to the end. I have never slept or thought about Nina that way, ever. We are childhood friends.”
That piqued my curiosity. “Childhood friends then? Never dated?”
“Don’t fish, just ask” Zach said with an unimpressed look. He saw right through that.
“Okay, then, what is Nina’s background story? What really brought you guys here and why does it seem like she is a magnet for trouble?”
