Chapter 61


    swnovels   Mna POV


    We watched Jacob and Ace from the shadows making sure we remained far enough away where


    they couldn’t pick up our scent. We needed to find a way to get across the borders without being


    noticed as we sat amongst the trees, high up in the branches out of sight. Ace and Jacob had been


    patrolling the river all night. This damn river caused so many problems for us, yet not as many as that


    bloody demon my sister was mates with.


    Watching Ace though, it killed me and gave me doubts about what we were doing. If only I had


    instead of Satish, Alpha Jamie would have nothing to use over me, Josie would still be at school tucked


    safely away and never would have got involved in this mess.


    Looking at Josie where she was perched next to me on the branch she seemed stuck in her own


    head. So much pain behind her eyes and I know she was struggling the most. Lucy was her best friend


    for years and I was the one person that caused a rift between them or so I thought. I was angry when I


    found out she kept the knowledge of her own mate from me. If I had known he was a teacher and


    demon I would have kept a closer eye on her, maybe even pulled her from that damn school.


    Leaning back on the tree trunk I watched her, something had changed within her, gone was the


    sweet girl she used to be. Now she was bitter and angry and broken.


    “So Mr Tanner huh?” I ask her, trying to get a reaction out of her.


    “Hmm” is all she answers, her eyes darkening slightly, I could see the conflict in her eyes, yet she


    hardly spoke of him when I had asked, maybe it was what he did to Lucy? I wasn’t sure but she kept


    him a secret until he got locked up, only then we she said she had something on Lucy and offered to


    help did I find out about him.


    “Why didn’t you tell me?” I ask her.


    “He was a teacher, he could have gotten in trouble” She answers.


    “That’s bullshit and you know it, he is your mate, he may have been told to steer clear of you until


    you finished school but no one would have stopped you both being together since you are fated mates”

    I tell her and she chews her lip.


    “It’s not that simple” She says with a sigh.


    “How isn’t it Josie, he is your mate is he not?”


    “He didn’t want me, Demons don’t have mates Mna” She says and my brows pinch in


    confusion.


    “So he rejected you?” I ask her, feeling sick to my stomach.
