Fated Hearts(In Deep Editing)

Chaper Eleven

Aubrey's POV

"Jason?"

I pushed past Kane, who was as tense as a board, ignoring the gun, I launch myself into my best friend's arms. My eyes water as I cling to Jason's neck.

"Oh, my God, I never thought I would see you again!" I pull back from him to study his features. His high fade brown hair immaculate as always, though it was the dark bags under his eyes and five o'clock shadow that had me frowning. Only then does the gun register, I punch him in the shoulder. "You put that gun away right now Jason Wyatt!" He does as I say, eyeing Kane.

I turn to see Kane right behind me, glaring at Jason. Kane reaches out to wrap his arm around my waist pulling my back to his chest.

"Uh, guys let's take this inside." Turning I shove Kane through the door, grabbing Jason's collar dragging him behind. "Jeez, woman you're gonna wrinkle my shirt!" Jason whines as I slam the door. My hands on my hips, I turn giving both men a stern look.

"Why did you have a gun pointed at my boyfriend?" I ask my friend, who shifts from foot to foot, looking very much like a punished child. "Aubs, I uh. Well umm." He blunders trying to find the words. Kane sighs. "He's a Hunter." My brows come together in confusion. "A Hunter? Okay that's a new one for me." Jason however has his jaw on the floor.

"You know?" He asks incredulously. I grin and wink at him before moving to Kane wrapping my arm through his waist. Kane seems pleased as he wraps an arm over my shoulder, fingering a stray curl. "Jason, this is my mate, Kane. Kane this is my best friend, who helped me get away from Chris."

Kane holds his right hand out, shaking Jason's own hand firmly. Jason seems much more relaxed. "Sorry about the gun in the face, man. I had run into a rogue earlier that needed termination. It always puts me on edge afterwards." Jason then turns to me. "So Chris is a Were. Why didn't you tell me that you found out?"

The way he said it sounded as if he was hurt, but I could hear anger underneath and that right there pissed me off. "Gee, I don't know, maybe because I didn't know you knew about weres at all. I thought you wouldn't believe me. Why didn't you tell me about you being a hunter? Could it have been the same reason I didn't tell you Chris was a Were?" I was breathing fast, my hands clinched. How dare he get pissy with me? Jason sighs, shoulders slumping.

"You're right, I'm sorry." I break from Kane to look up into Jasons face. "How long are you staying?" He grins at me, dimple flashing in his right cheek. "A week or two. Want to have a sleepover? I'll go grab the ice cream?" I nod my head vigorously, jumping up and down. Man we haven't done that in ages.

"No." Kane growls behind me. His face was contorted in rage, his canines extending. "Kane, no its not what-." "Not what I think? I don't want you being around this male, I wont-."

"If I could interrupt, I'm gay." Kane opened his mouth, then shut it. I've never seen him lost for words. I giggle at his predicament. Smacking Jason on the arm, I can barely control my laughter. "As beautiful as your mate is, Kane, she's not my cup of tea."

By now I'm covering my mouth to stifle my laugh. Kane nods at Jason, thoughtfully. I clap my hands together."Okay, so since we've got all of our bases covered here I need a shower. Kane, can you lay out the chicken in the freezer for me? I need it thawed for lunch."

Twenty minutes later, I'm clean, shaved and running a brush through my wet curls sitting on the couch beside Kane. Jason hums as he makes grilled chicken on the stove in the kitchen. "I like him." I hear Kane's low rumble and I look at him. He looks so good sitting here in just a pair of sweats. My heart stutters as I meet his eyes. They're so warm and inviting, I feel as if I could stare at him all day.

What we did last night runs through my mind, and I feel warmth spread through my chest. I've fallen hook, line and sinker for my viking, with no relief in sight. "I'm glad. He's very important to me. I never had a brother before, so I've given him that place of honour." I say chuckling at the kiss the cook apron Jason's sporting.

"Come here." Kane orders. He motions for me to sit on the floor in front of him, which I do. He takes the brush in his large hand, running it through my blonde locks. He then sections my hair, braiding it down the middle down to my back.

I'm completely relaxed and ever so often I would hear a rumble of contentment come from my mate. "Huh, well would you look at that!" My eyes snapped open to see Jason leaning on the kitchen door way smiling softly at Kane and I. "I've never seen a WereBear as tame as you, Kane. Its amazing seeing you so gentle." I grin up at Kane once my hair is tied off.

Kane leans over to kiss my temple. "Only for her." I blush to my roots as I fall just a little bit harder in love.

I'm sorry its so short. I wanted to introduce Jason. In the next few chapters I hope to get into detail the plot of the story as well as delve deeper into Kane and Aubrey's relationship.
