Chapter Twelve

Ash

Did that sound like a challenge? It sure as fuck did to Lana apparently. I can see her ego rearing its head at Serenity’s words.

Lana takes a step towards the portal and I resist the urge to grab her and throw her over my shoulder like a caveman. If I undermine her in front of this strange woman, my girl may actually kill me.

I decide then and there that I owe Lana a pink ass for trying to prove herself to a woman we should be cross checking, instead of blindly believing.

A deep growl vibrates through my chest as I watch her delectable ass vanish through the portal. As soon as her body disappears, it’s like someone zapped us with a one-thousand-volt shock and we all instantly run after her to make sure she’s safe, rushing to jump through the unknown magic.

Witches with magic portals sent by unseen Goddesses? What a clusterfuck.

Gaia, you better keep Lana safe.

I take the rear as the rest of the guys file through in a single line, refusing to leave my brothers unprotected from behind. Without removing my eyes from Serenity’s face, I watch her intently, trying to read her.

She glances over at me and arches an eyebrow, staring right back with a chin lift that says defiantly that she isn’t intimidated.

You should be scared, little witch. I’ll do anything to protect my family.

She drawls like she’s bored. “You really shouldn’t stare at me so much. It’ll rile up your mate.”

Mate?

Rolling my eyes at her assumption that I was checking her out, I say, “First of all, I’m not interested in you. I just don’t fucking trust you, which is why I’ll be watching you. Secondly, what do you mean by mate?”

Her eyes look like they’re going to bug out of her head at my question and she bursts into laughter at my words. “You mean to tell me you don’t know you’re all Lana’s mates?”

I frown. “Well, of course we’re friends. We grew up together. We’re just starting to approach the subject of dating her.”

As she looks at me like I’m the dumbest person, alive or dead, I begin to worry about taking too long to go through the portal. I know the guys will take care of her but I need to see her myself.

She scoffs. “Great. Another thing I’m going to have to explain to you guys. As if I needed more on my list. Did your mommy have the birds and bees talk with you or would you like a labelled diagram while I’m at it?”

I glare at her. She better not fucking mention Beth again. “I don’t have time for this.”

Putting her out of my mind, I walk through the portal, instantly gritting my teeth at the sensation. This is not something I’ll be in a rush to do again. Bright colors and patterns assault my vision for what feels like an eternity before my vision goes dark and my body flops onto a hard surface.

Well, that was graceful.

Please let me have ended up in the right place in one piece.
