"My great-grandfather made it; I like it, do you?" Fergus asks startling me a little as he sits at the end of the table. I notice he is carrying two bowls of potatoes which he puts down. The table is already set with glasses and plates.

I place the vegetables down next the statue in the middle before taking a seat next to Fergus on his right.

"Is it ok to sit here?" I ask before actually sitting down.

"Yes." he comments waving a hand.

"The statue is lovely," I say, in answer to his question, after I sit down.

"We don’t like to hide who we are here, that why there are wolves all around." He says looking away from me at the table.

“I don’t see anything wrong with that,” I tell him.

"Would you like a drink? We have wine or water." He asks, not replying to what I said.

"Wine would be lovely," I say and Fergus pours two glasses. Jaxson comes into the room followed by Freddy.

Jaxson scowl’s at Fergus a second before taking the seat next to me. Freddy takes the one opposite leaving the space in front of me for Anna, I am guessing.

"Hello," I say with a smile, trying to not stare at Jaxson’s lips.

"Hello ,Winter," Freddy says with such happiness in his voice, I can't help but smile a little at him.

Anna comes in with a dish with a large cooked piece of beef in it. She places in front of Fergus before kissing his cheek and sitting in front of me.

"Dig in before it gets cold," Anna says, passing me a spoon for the potatoes in front of me.

We all share the food around before starting to eat before anyone says anything,

"Tell us about your family Winter," Fergus asks. Jaxson hand tightens on his fork in reaction.

"She doesn't have to answer any questions." Jaxson says warningly.

"I'm only being friendly brother," Fergus says as I see Jaxson whole body tense up, I decide to intervene.

"It's alright; I grew up with my mother and best friend Alex. I now share an apartment with her."

"No siblings or father around?" Fergus asks as I tense a little.

"Nope." I draw out the word as I take a sip of my wine needing it.

"A boyfriend?" He asks a little rudely but I ignore it.

"No again," I say and I can’t help but flicker to Wyatt in my head. He isn’t my boyfriend but somehow it feels wrong to say I’m not involved with anyone.

"You’re lying, well slightly." Fergus comments.

"She doesn't have to answer everything you say, brother. She isn't one of your wolves." Jaxson growls.

"I guess I did a lie a little, how did you know?" I ask.

“It is a gift from the Goddess.” Fergus answers.
