Fighter 33
When I got back to my house I had a shower and I got dressed into some clean clothes instead of the sweaty gear that I had been working out in and when I went back downstairs Dean was in the living room waiting for me. "Don't you guys have a life?" I asked.
"We did. Before we realized we had a mate." He said.
"I'm not your responsibility. I told you, keep your distance." I said going to the kitchen.
"You know that we can't. Not until the bond is severed."
"Wow. Won't Izzy be happy when that happens." I said, sarcastically.
"Are you really going to reject us?"
"I never said that I was going to do that. But I never said that I wasn't. I don't know what the hell to do. I don't feel the mate bond like you. I'm not even 18 yet and because of what I am, I don't know if I am ever going to feel the bond like you do." I said.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Well, at least you're honest. But I don't care about that. We feel the bond and as far as we do,
we're not going anywhere."
"Do what you want. I'm going for a hike." I said, walking towards the back door. But he was on his feet and following me out the back door before I could barely even finish the sentence.
I closed the door behind us and I started hiking the trail that led from my back door and I started weaving through several different trails as I was checking things out to make sure that everything was alright and there were no threats hanging around.
The wolves that were on patrol would stop and look at us, but they would get on their way
pretty quickly.
"So, your friends with all species?" Dean asked.
"I do have friends of all species."
"That's pretty cool. I guess. Except for vampires. You know that we are common enemies."
"I know that. They're not my enemy. I'm part vampire."
"How the hell does that happen? How did you happen?" He asked.
"Wow! That's not offensive at all." I said.
"I'm not trying to be rude. I've heard of hybrids. But I've never heard of anyone like you." He

said.
"Well, I guess I am the exception."
"Do you know how it happened?"
"Genetics. I believe my father sought my mother out because of her heritage. Hoping that the experiment would be successful. And it was." I said, not looking at him as he stopped walking and stared at me.
"Wait a minute." He said, grabbing my arm and stopping me from walking. But I still wouldn't look at him. "You're an experiment?" He asked.
"Yeah. But I'm not supposed to know."
"How did you find out?"
"I snuck into Ava's office one night. I looked at my file. It said that the experiment was successful and my father was pleased with the results." I said, looking off in the distance. So Dean forced me to look at him and he stared me straight in the eye. "I'm sorry. I had no idea."
"How could you? No one is meant to know."
"That's why you're so detached. Isn't it? Why you won't get too close to us. You keep saying
that you've got a job to do."
"I was bred to be a soldier. And I know that since I've proven to be successful, they're gonna keep trying to make more like me. Whatever Ava says, don't trust her. She's not who she says she is." I said.
He looked really surprised at my admission there. He thought that I loved Ava, but it's all an act.
Ever since I found out who Ava was and what she was really doing with my father, I've been waiting for her to stab me in the back. I'm waiting for it and I expect it.
So it's not going to happen to me.
"I'm sorry." Dean said, backing away from me.
"For what?" I asked. And I focused on what he was thinking.
"I was mind linking my brothers. They just heard everything you said." He thought to himself.
"You asshole. Are they going to keep their f*****g mouths shut?" I asked.
"Yeah. They won't tell anyone. They're still listening. They're pissed." He said.

"I know. I can hear them. In your head." I said.
We hiked the perimeter and then went back to my house and when we got there Tyler and Koda were waiting for us.
"I really don't want to talk about this." I said getting a bottle out of the fridge.
"We can have Ava kicked out of the pack." Koda said.
"Why? She's the Beta's mate. I hate her daughter but I'm friends with Jacob. And from what I can tell, he doesn't know anything about this. He's too much of a friend for me to lose." I said.
None of them liked hearing me talk about another unmated male like that, but they better get used to it. I've never really been one to make friends with a lot of girls. I'm more likely to make friends with guys than girls. I've always been like that.
"Alright. What do you want us to do?" Tyler asked.
"Nothing. Pretend like you never heard it. I don't want Ava to know that I know."
"What's your plans for Ava?" Dean asked.
"I haven't gotten that far yet." I said, sitting at the table.
I knew that they didn't want her to get away with what she was doing to their mate, but there was nothing that they could do about it right now. They just had to suck it up and live with it. That's all there was to it. I needed to make sure that they were going to keep their mouths shut.
They stayed at my house for most of the day until they finally had to go and tend to some Alpha duties while I stayed back at the house.
I was sitting in my bedroom writing in a notebook when I heard someone walking up the
stairs.
"I'm in here Jacob." I sang out.
So he came to my bedroom and opened the door.
"This is a pretty nice house." Jacob said.
"Yeah. I guess." I said, turning around to look at him.
"Are you alright?" He asked, sitting on the edge of my
bed.
"I'm fine. What are you doing here anyway? I thought your father was teaching you how to be a Beta." I said.

"He has been. But I don't think I'm going to be Beta."
"Why not?"
"The triplets hate me. Because I'm friends with you."
"No. I think they hate you because they suspect that something has happened between us two."
"So you
haven't told them?" He asked, surprised.
"Did you think I was going to tell the triplets that we used to hook up? Do you want them three coming after you because I'm pretty sure they will kill you." I said.
"Well, secrets don't stay secret forever."
"Have you told anyone here about us?" I asked. He looked at me really hesitant before he nodded his head.
"Who?" I demanded.
"Izzy."
"Are you f*****g crazy. She's the last person you should tell. She's gonna run straight to the triplets and tell them." I yelled.
"I had to tell someone."
"Jacob. I'm their mate. They aren't going to do anything to me. But they will f*****g kill you. And she isn't going to realize that before she tells them. Not if she thinks it's going to get rid of me you f*****g idiot." I yelled.
"I'm screwed." He said.
"Let's go." I said, standing up.
"Where?"
"To find your damn sister."
