Chapter Fourteen

Middle Fingers Up

“I still can’t believe you are actually here.” I gasped, shaking my head. Noel was my Uncle, or well, that’s how it was with my family. See, my mom is best friends with his wife Erin and they’re practically sisters. So, seeing as Noel is married to Erin that makes him my Uncle. Sometimes though, I consider myself to be like his son. They haven’t been successful with having children, so any chance I got to make him have a father son moment, I gave it to him.

He deserved it. Especially with the life he had.

“Italy wasn’t on the list of places to go, but as soon as I got to the pack house, that’s all I heard.” I cocked my head to the side and saw Hazel frown.

“I apologize. That was my fault.” She muttered and Noel smiled.

“No no. You are fine! If it’s anyone’s fault, it’s this idiots.” He smacked me upside the head and I hissed. “I come back expecting to see my new Alpha, only to see Ryder still there and you…well…not.”

“I’m sorry Noel. I just…I had to—“

“Get out? Find yourself and mate? Yeah, I know. I heard it all from your mom and that’s why I’m here. Ryder and Scarlet were shitting bricks since they have had no word from the Bounty Hunter,” He paused and looked at Hazel, “I take it your said Bounty Hunter?” She nodded and he hummed before looking back at me.

“They wanted to know why you went from Greece to Italy and seeing as I have never been to either, I offered to go. Of course your Aunt wasn’t too thrilled that I wouldn’t let her come along.” He sighed and I looked at him confused.

“Why didn’t you let her come?” I asked and he looked at me before smirking, then it clicked. “Holy shit. She’s pregnant?” I gasped and he smiled brightly.

“Six months in. Looks like the trip around America was just what we needed.” This was unbelievable. Six years of trying to have a kid, and it never worked. I remember having to go get ice cream for the nights my Aunt Erin came home from the hospital in tears. Her and my mom would just eat and talk while dad took Noel out. The first miscarriage hit us all pretty hard, but after the fourth, everyone was just depressed.

And now they were having a baby finally.

Now we just had to kill Victor tomorrow night and everything will be perfect.

“So, anyone gonna tell me why you all are in Italy?” Noel finally said and we all froze. Was it a good idea to tell him? I mean, he was someone I truated a lot, but I had a feeling he would try and stop us from doing what we needed to. I looked at Nate and he shrugged his shoulders, telling me that it was all or nothing. I took a deep breath and looked at my Uncle.

“We are on a mission. To kill the leader of the shape shifters.”

“Victor Salvatore? Awesome! I wanna come with.” Everyone’s jaws dropped at his reaction. Was this even the real Noel? Shouldn’t he be yelling at us and dragging everyone out by their ears?

“What? That dude is a Grade A- douche.” He all looked at him with wide eyes. “No seriously, he’s an ass.” He said, his tone serious. I wasn’t shocked that he knew about Victor. Anything my mom was told by my dad, she would tell to Noel, and the same went for him. Its why I couldn’t confide in Noel ninety-nine percent of the time. I would trust him with the most secretive thing, and he would go tell my mom.

Yet I still trusted him with my life. I know he only would tell because he was looking out for me, but it’s just annoying. I’m pretty sure everyone has that one person they go to and tell secrets and they go off and tell the world, but you still tell them your secrets.
