Janna frowned, wanting to smack him. “I really liked this guy.”
“But your wolf didn’t because she was waiting for me.” Garrett’s tone was smug and confident. “And as I said, you will forget about him very soon.”
Janna actually shivered at his words, but not in a bad way. None of this made sense to her and she felt like her mind and body were on two separate planets. A loud pounding coming from the front of the house made her jump. Garrett cursed, pushing her away, but not before placing a hard kiss on her mouth.
“Stay here,” he ordered as he left the room.
Not used to taking orders, it grated on Janna’s nerves to do so this easily, but instead of bitching about it, she grabbed her plate and dumped her uneaten food in the garbage.
“Why’d you throw all that food away?” Hunter said behind her when he looked over her shoulder into the trash. “I’m starving.”
Her eyes shot to Garrett who was frowning at her. Without a word, he walked over grabbing another plate. “You need to eat.”
With a sigh, she sat back down then looked at Jonah who was simply staring at her. Garrett set another plate in front of her and she wanted to gag. “I’m not really hungry.”
“You need to eat.” Every male in the room said at the same time.
“And what you don’t, I’ll finish for you,” Hunter added, grabbing a piece of sausage and pointing it at her.
“Heard Roxy was here last night,” Marcus remarked as he too grabbed a piece of sausage.
“And I sent her packing,” Garrett grunted as he finished his breakfast.
“Well, she must have thought you…” Marcus started with a frown.
“I have never invited Roxy to my house, Marcus.” Garrett dropped his fork on his plate. The loud clang filled the now silent room.
“She seems to be here an awful lot for not being invited.” Marcus’s body tensed visibly.
“I have no interest in Roxy Patel, Marcus,” Garrett repeated with a growl, his eyes narrowing.
Janna watched with interest as she put the cardboard tasting bacon in her mouth, chewing slowly. So Marcus was the one who liked Roxy. Interesting. She was a matchmaker at heart and was always trying to fix up her friends in high school.
“Then why is she always at your place?” Marcus narrowed his eyes, his face going from non-caring to pissed off in a flash.
“I don’t know.” Garrett sighed. “Why don’t you grow some balls and actually talk to her so you can ask her that.”
“Fuck you!” Marcus took a step toward Garrett, who didn’t even turn around.
“That’s a big mistake, brother,” Garrett said as if he had eyes in the back of head. “You need to check yourself before you start something I’m going to finish.”
Janna glanced over at Hunter who was leaning against the sink stuffing his face, but he watched his brothers closely as if anticipating what was coming.
“Oh, you think?” Marcus tossed his unfinished sausage, which landed beside Garrett’s hand.
Everything happened at once. The small kitchen erupted in total chaos as Garrett jumped up, spinning so fast, pinning Marcus to the kitchen wall.
“Whoa!” Janna stood, heading toward them, but Hunter stopped her.
“Careful there.” Hunter pulled her back as fists started flying. “Just some brotherly love going on. It will be over in a minute.”
Janna looked over at Jonah, who was leaning against the kitchen doorframe watching the scene as if bored, his eyes met hers before shifting away. Struggling against Hunter, she broke free and headed toward Garrett and Marcus.
“Stop!” she yelled, using her foot nudging against Garrett who was on stop of Marcus. When they wouldn’t stop, but kept fighting, Janna grabbed the glass of water she had been drinking and let it loose. “Stop, dammit!”
When they still didn’t stop, Hunter grabbed a large bowl filling it with water. “Here, try this.” His grin was pure evil, but his eyes looked innocent.
Grabbing the bowl, she marched over and dumped
