"You’re under my protection now lass, so you'll have to come here sometimes to please my wolf," he tells me, I can’t make out his expression but I’m sure it’s not happy.

"Who says I want to please you?" I glare at him.

"You sure you don't?" He winks at me, making me blush a bright shade of red and look away at the fireplace.

"Jaxy, I heard all about Freddy, I'm glad he is ok," says a very pretty dark-haired girl, about my age, as she comes into the room. She stops at Jaxson’s side taking his hand and he doesn’t even respond to her as he watches me. I can't help but notice how she looks like a supermodel with long legs, perfect figure, a baby face and shiny hair.

"Aye, he is fine now Esta." Jaxson finally responds, breaking the tense silence. I notice he looks at me for second before turning away from Esta and me, to stare out a window.

"I would say it’s nice to meet you but you’re a human, I’m Esta." The girl says smiling at me in a tone that suggests she feels sorry for me.

"What’s wrong with being human, you know what I don’t care what your answer is,” I tell Esta before turning to face Jaxson

“Can you take me home now?" I ask again and he doesn’t reply. I grit my teeth together just as Esta goes to talk, Fergus says,

"Take the girl home Jax but I want a word first, alone."

Jaxson nods leaving the room. Esta looks me up and down before coming to stand in front of me.

"Keep those dirty human eyes and hands to yourself, little human. Jaxson is mine," she growls at me. I raise one eyebrow. I don’t know what comes over me but I move closer, we are nearly the same height and for some reason, I can’t back down.

"I don't like being threatened," I say calmly and then back away when her dark green eyes start flowing.

"He is my mate." she says but it comes out more of a growl.

"No my uncle isn't yet. Just because your parent set the mating up, doesn’t mean he is yours, Esta. Winter Is under Jaxson’s protection, I don’t think he would take it well if you tried to hurt her.” Freddy says coming into the room. I smirk at the Harry Potter top he is wearing and I want to tell him I have one just like it at home.

"Back off Freddy," Esta growls but it’s lost its dangerous tone. So much for caring if Freddy is ok, she could have asked him by now. It’s clear she is only interested in Jaxson and for some reason I’m finding myself protective of them both.
