I honestly didn't know why I was giving him the time of day. Maybe a part of me felt bad. Maybe a part of me really thought he could change.
I shouldn't have driven out so far. I knew that when I started up the car. I knew I was making a mistake, but I still went. It was a thirty-minute drive from Mikko's house to get to the place where JJ was waiting. He wasn't allowed onto Finn's land without permissions and he didn't have it.
It was a cute little cabin, out of the way of most traffic in the area. My stomach was queasy when I stepped out of the car. I left the keys in the ignition in case I was in need if a quick escape.
When I got to the door, it quickly opened. JJ smiled at me, then looked around me.
"I thought you had your kids with you," he asked confused.
Had he really been expecting them to come with me?
"They're with their grandfather," I said as I stepped into the cabin, slightly irritated.
He shut the door behind me and locked it. A weird habit for a werewolf, but not unheard of.
I felt like I was being paranoid. Except for Mikko breaking JJ's jaw after using me against him, JJ didn't have a reason to want to hurt me. We had been good friend a once. Now I just felt defensive.
Always making mistakes...
Maybe that was why I had given him a chance, I pondered to myself.
"So, why did you beg me to come out here, JJ?"
He led me into the living room and offered the sofa. I took the offer because I was ready to pop. This baby was ready to be born, I could sense it, but I was weeks out from being full term, so I wasn't expecting him to make an arrival anytime too soon.
He sat down on the ottoman, close enough that he could put his hand on my knee. "I've met someone."
I rolled my eyes and readied myself to get off the sofa. "If you called me to let me down easy, I will kick you in the nuts JJ."
He shook his head with that same stupid smile. Like he knew something I didn't, but wouldn't tell me, which was annoying. "No. I didn't ask you all the way over here to leave. I want you to come with me."
"You want me to leave my children?"
He quickly shook his head. "No, of course not. I want you to bring them with us."
I shook my head in disbelief. One, there was no way Mikko wouldn't be able to track us down before we got too far, and two, I wasn't sure I wanted to go anywhere with JJ. Even to this cabin.
"And where would you take us? To your pack? Mikko would look first and rip your head off when he found you?" I asked, trying to use my tone to warn him off. This was a stupid idea. I didn't like being in the middle of this, and separated from my children.
