Chapter Ten

Everyone filed into the dining room with the same fervor as if they were being led to a public execution. Ed lamented the bad weather and wished the storm would pass. At least then they could roam free outside, and there would be plenty more hiding spaces. Plus, if things got really bad they could hop on a boat and sail away.

Ed grabbed Olivia’s arm before she made it inside. She gave a little yelp of protest before she realized it was Ed and relaxed.

He pulled her to one side. “What were you thinking asking Helena to come here?” he demanded roughly.

Olivia furrowed her brow. “First of all, I didn’t know you were bringing your girlfriend…”

“Fiancée,” he corrected as his wolf huffed.

Olivia rolled her eyes. “Fine, fiancée. If I had known, I would have made sure Helena didn’t come. But, secondly, it wasn’t actually me who invited her.”

Ed looked at her suspiciously. “Then who did?”

“Arthur, apparently.”

Suspicion darted through his mind. “Why would Arthur want Helena here?” he asked slowly.

Olivia gave him a pained look. “I don’t know and I’m not sure I want to know.”

Ed felt troubled. He knew Jennifer and Arthur were going through a tough time. He didn’t know what the problem was exactly, but he believed it stemmed from the issue of having pups. But, Helena’s interference in their lives was definitely not a good thing.

“You don’t think Arthur and Helena…”

Olivia bit her lip. “I hope not. I tried asking Helena about why Arthur invited her, but she just dodged the question. I feel so bad for Jennifer.”

Ed groaned. He really hoped Arthur wasn’t as dumb as he had been and hadn’t allowed the vapid she-wolf to get her claws into him. Arthur and Jennifer weren’t true mates, but they had been besotted with each when they first got married.

“If something does happen it’s your fault,” said Ed a little more forcefully than he intended. “That bitch is crazy.”

Olivia was a little surprised and looked away from him. “I’m sorry; she wasn’t always like this. She changed after her dad…”

Ed relented and rubbed her shoulder. “I’m sorry, Olly. I didn't really mean what I said.”

She gave him a watery smile. “You haven’t called me Olly in ages.”

He smiled and enveloped his little sister into a warm hug.

She frowned. “Seriously, I didn’t want Helena here, but Arthur invited her and then she invited Kurt… and I didn’t have the heart to tell them they weren’t welcome.”

Ed raised an eyebrow. “You didn’t invite Kurt? I thought you two were dating?”

Olivia blushed furiously. “We’ve been on a few dates but nothing’s happened. We have nothing in common.”

Ed rubbed the back of his neck. “Neither do Kim and I,” he admitted ruefully. But they were pretty damn happy. His beast wagged his tail and agreed with that whole-heartedly.

She smiled. “I like Kim; I’m really happy for you.”

He grinned. “Thanks, at least I have two family members on my side.”

Olivia pouted. “You know you could have introduced Kim to us sooner.
