"Make me," Freddy growls seeming more than the sweet eight-year old I have gotten to know. I really feel the wave of power he admits before Esta whines, I watch as she shows Freddy her neck, and then she stomps out the room.

"Sorry, it's a wolf thing," he mutters with a grin.

"Freddy, where have you been? You’re a giant pain in the ass but I want to see you’re ok," A voice I recognise comes from the doorway a minute before Katy appears. She looks at Freddy with a big grin before seeing me and running over to give me a hug.

"What are you doing here Winter?" She smiles and pulls away. Katy looks much better tonight in casual clothes and no intense makeup.

"How do you know each other?" Jaxson says walking back in the room, his voice dripping with suspicion.

"She's my brother’s girlfriend," Katy says with a grin at my shocked face. I go to respond but Jaxson beats me to it.

"What?" Jaxson growls and Katy looks as confused as I am at his anger.

"Girl- friend as in a girl he knows from uni," she says as she rolls her eyes and I notice Jaxson seems to relax. I narrow my eyes at him, which seems to have the effect of making him smirk.

"Right lass, I’ll take you home but a few days a week, your here for an hour, to please my wolf and we will be doing self-defence classes, so I can put up with you." He mutters the end part to himself but doesn’t make his voice quiet enough that I don’t hear. I kind of think that’s the point.

"We, as in both of us?" I laugh at the idea of him needing self-defence. I have a feeling he doesn’t need to learn anything about fighting from anyone else.

"Yes, I will be teaching you. It will help please me, and my wolf, to know you can defend yourself." He tells me and Katy’s jaw drops open as she stares between us.

"Hold on, can someone tell me what's going on?" Katy finally asks with a small voice.

"Freddy, find Anna to escort Katy back to her cabin.” He tells Freddy.

“Why can’t I take her?” he asks crossing his arms and standing taller.

“Don’t you think you’re going to be busy? I know Fergus has some training for you, I’m sure I can persuade Anna to find something for you to clean as well if you have the time.” Jaxson says and Freddy deflates with a grumble.

“Katy, I believe you’re grounded and your parents aren’t going to be happy your here. Tell Harris to come and see me." Jaxson tells her and she rolls her eyes at him.

"Why?" she responds.

"Just do it, Katy." Jaxson exhales, looking beyond frustrated at all the questions.
