them and helps understand things clearly. Once you three are a mated couple, she will suddenly realize everything, but would be vulnerable.”
Greyson started to see why things happened the way they do, but why them. He didn’t understand it. Sure they were smarter than the average bear, but seriously.
“And before you can ask, Greyson, a bear is what is needed for her. She needs someone, or two someones strong enough to help guide her. You both have talents that will help aid her in her quest. Bears have strong minds, and strong hearts, and know what she will need. The great Luna and the fates did not just pick someone to sit back and watch, no, you were chosen to help her. Trust in yourself, bear.” Xandria smiled at him and it seemed to be better. “Now I must go. I am never far away.” The damn woman shimmered in lights and went away.
“Okay, that was cool,” Sam said in awe. Grey was in total agreement.
“So who’s hungry?” He could only laugh as Becky came into the room with a plate of food and his stomach rumbled.
The small house was filled with so many people and he was happy that Dmitri and the rest of the men offered them a beer and stood outside while he grilled up some steaks. It was a good thing he was hungry too because they had a lot of food. He watched from the outside looking in through the glass door as Cece talked with her friends. Lily had checked her over again, and said her throat would be sore tonight, but she would be better in the morning. He was still shocked at having a healer, or witch, in his presence. She was something else, so much different than he would have suspected. He had thought of them as old dark looking women, not a young woman with raven hair and green eyes. She was pretty, but no one looked at good as his mate. Her sexual undertones were there but hidden. She spent a good chunk of her life trying to be invisible and he was going to show her she wasn’t.
“Cece is something special.” He heard Nik say.
“Yeah she is, she hides from herself to go unnoticed, but it’s hard to dismiss her natural beauty and kindness,” he responded.
“We knew she was something different when our mate was taken. She had a way to calm us down and make a crazy situation seem manageable. Hell, she discovered how the hell to kill a crazy ass troll,” Axel chimed in.
“She knew Becky needed to embrace her witch and helped push her. The signs were all there and we missed them as well. But I am seriously sorry, man, for not catching something else wrong with her personal life. Becky and Millie said she got moody periods and just needed alone time to figure crap out. They both thought it was because her brain was overloading, but I never would have guessed she was getting beat. And I promise, hell, all of us promise that we will do our best to find this bastard and kill him,” Axel stated once again.
“It’s okay, man, really. We will be fine. I think we will take her home with us tonight so the three of us can talk. Plus, we have to work tomorrow and find some help at the bar. It’s small, but it’s ours and we have a great business. Maybe all of you can meet us there tomorrow,” Grey suggested. He was doing his best not to drag his mate out now and keep her safe, but he knew she was safe within this house. Soon the steaks were done and all of them gathered around the tables and living room. It was comfortable conversation, which included them telling them about their time in the military.
When the clock started to tick past ten at night, he could see Cece was getting tired again and knew the day was wearing on her.
“I think we need to get you home, love. We can see your friends tomorrow.” He went to lift her and was shocked when she agreed without any complaints. He could only smile when her friends hugged her and she told them she would see them tomorrow at the bar and could call anytime. Sam followed behind and was happy Tiny was staying there and had taken their truck
