Jason was grinning widely at me and it made me want to punch him in the face. I hated waking up. Period. I was comfortable, warm, and wanted to sleep for hours. I did not want to get up, but I did need to be there for the rebel meeting. This didn’t make me get out of bed any faster, but I eventually swung my legs off the bed, dragging my body up with me. When I raised my head, Jason was standing there, a hand covering his mouth in an attempt to hide the obvious amusement he felt. I glared at him.

“Shut up.”

“So…you’re not really a morning person, are you?” He laughed.

“Morning people are freaks of nature.”

“Funny, I thought that was shifters.”

“Nope. It’s morning people. I have it on good authority.”

Jason shook his head, chuckling. He walked over to the dresser and pulled out another outfit for me. He threw it on the bed, then jerked his head to the door. “Dean and I will be just outside. You two get ready. We’re leaving in ten.”

Amara jumped up with a small squeak and ran into the bathroom. I exhaled, rubbing my eyes with my palms. I groaned as I stood. I pulled on the outfit that Jason had thrown on the bed and pulled my limp hair into a sleek ponytail. It wasn’t the most attractive hairstyle, but it kept it out of my way. That’s what I cared about the most. Amara hurried out of the bathroom a few minutes later and I went in, taking care of my business quickly. As soon as I stepped out, Jason was pounding on the door, yelling at us that we had a minute left.

I rolled my eyes, strolled over to the door, and whipped it open. He stood there, his hand in the air, with his mouth wide open. I heard Dean snicker behind his back. I tried to hide my smile as he dropped his hand with a glare over his shoulder. “We’re ready.”

Jason heaved out a heavy sigh, shoving his hand through his hair and making it stick up crazily. “Are you sure I can’t convince you girls to stay behind? This is going to be dangerous and I don’t want anything to happen to either of you.”

I gave him a small smile, patted his cheek, and then sidestepped him, walking out of the room. I watched Dean’s jaw clenching and the amusement that had filled his face fled. I walked over to him, settling a hand on his forearm. Jason growled behind me, but I didn’t react to him. Instead, I lowered my voice so only shifters could hear - which meant that Amara wouldn’t.

“You know you can always go with Amara to the tunnels now. Nobody would blame you for wanting to get your mate to safety.”

Dean visibly tensed, his teeth grinding so hard that I could hear them. His hands clenched into fists as he swallowed thickly. “She’s not my mate,” He ground out. I cocked my head at him, the stench of a lie wafting up to my nostrils.
