Chapter Five

Chase paced the kitchen until his sister entered, just back from the grocery store. “Thank you.”

“For what?”

“Jasmine pointed out that I don’t appreciate you enough for all you do.”

Jenny had started putting away the steaks but paused to gape at him.

“What?” Irritation flashed inside him. “Quit staring at me that way.”

She recovered and closed the fridge. “You protect me and give me a home. I don’t know what I’d do if you hadn’t taken me in.”

“It doesn’t mean I should be an ass. I have been.”

“Yes.” She suddenly smiled. “I wasn’t sure about you taking a mate but I like it so far.”

“Why wouldn’t you be happy about it?”

“She’s human but I suppose it’s better that you ended up with one of them instead of a werewolf.”

He scowled. “What would it matter?”

“Most werewolf bitches are power hungry. I wanted more for you than to end up locked to someone who would never truly love you.” She stepped closer. “Jasmine really didn’t know what you were?”

“No.”

“You met her before but waited until she nearly died to claim her? Why?”

“I was deeply attracted to her but she was too sweet and good to enter this life. I felt very protective.”

Jenny nodded. “I understand. I met a human but avoid him now because he can’t ever find out what I am.”

That statement drew a frown from Chase and a sense of worry. “What human?”

“He’s a neighbor. I have run into him more than a few times where our land meets at the river. He enjoys fishing.”

“Single?”

“No scent of a woman is on him.”

“Is he interested in you?”

“He’s male, Chase.” She grinned. “What do you think?” She sobered. “I’m really attracted to him, he smells so good and he’s funny.”

“Why don’t you date him and see where it leads?”

“We both know what would happen. He’d either freak out if he learned what I am or, if I mated him, he’d go on a power trip. Sharing my blood would make him stronger, more aggressive, and change him for the worse. He wasn’t raised with that kind of strength.”

“He could be different than most.”

“He might not be.” She walked to the counter to unpack a bag. “You’d have to kill him and I couldn’t stand it.”

“I wouldn’t do that.”

She peered up at him. “You’d have to if he started showing off to his human friends. Can you imagine? ‘Hey, look at me. I can lift a car!’” She rolled her eyes. “Rule number one is keeping the secret of our existence.”

“You could return to Alaska and our clan.”

Jenny’s expression hardened. “No.”

“Mother?”

She gave a sharp nod. “She attempted to make me a vampire’s companion.”

Anger burned through Chase. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I knew you’d be furious. She thinks that’s what is best, Chase. I came to stay with you before she could get me to London. That’s where most of the old masters live.”

“I’m glad you came to me.” He silently swore to have a talk with their mother. “Is that where she is? I don’t keep in contact.
