(Joanne's Pov)

Turns out the "Forbidden Blood" was a three hours drive from town and is in the middle of the forest. A freaking castle and was also shady. I was making alot of friends this past few days and I get the feeling that it was just because my brother is their Alpha so yes without my brother I am again....invisible. Jacob said that he is going to show me something tonight and I couldn't stop thinking about it.

I am currently lying on my very very very comfortable bed staring at the ceiling endlessly contemplating wether to just march in twinnie's office and demand whatever he was wanting to tell me or just continue staring at the very interesting blank white ceiling.

A knock on my bedroom door brought me back to reality. I snatched the pocket knife from under my pillow and tip toe towards my bedroom door. Someone knocked again and clear their throat.

"JJ it's me I'm gonna open the door don't kill me okay?" I heard Xav said.
Yeah okay...

"Pfft I am not gonna..." I barged open the door resulting for him to stumble to the ground since he was leaning into the door. I strangle his waist my pocket knife inches away from his neck.

"....kill you" I smirk down at him and he gulps.
"I'm just gonna slit this part of your body rigt here and see what happens next" I chuckle darkly the knife still pressed tightly on his neck.
"Look I'm sor..." he started.
"Shhh..." I interrupt him tightening the hold.

"You lied to me, about my brother, my parents. I don't know if I could trust you again" I hissed.

"Let m..me explain" he struggled saying while lifting his hands up in surrender.

I lift the knife up to my chin "Wait let me think about it...yeah no" I said.

"Just give him a chance twinnie" I heard Jacob said from the doorway interrupting me from almost poking Xavier's eyes out.

I huffed and glare at Jacob.
"Why do you always appear everytime I'm having fun" I said while rolling my eyes.
I got off Xavier putting my pocket knife at the back of my waistband but Jacob grabs it from me and kept it in his shaking his head. Yeah...he's been taking all of my weapons that was with me this past few days....weird I know.

I raised my eyebrow at him and he just shrugged. Xavier stood up from the ground rubbing his neck. He sat on my bed and Jacob sat on my study chair.

"Well?" I ask.
"I told him not to tell you that our parents ran this....business before I did" Jacob said.
"You dont think I know that?" I hissed.
"And stop calling it a "business" like it's something I couldn't grasp idiot" I continued and heard Xavier chuckle but I just ignored him.

"Okay, okay gezz" he said lifting his hands up in surrender.
"Just half of the truth you know" Xavier whispered.
"What?" I said.
"Half if the truth, I told you half of the truth" he continues.
"All of the things I said to you back then was all true" he said.

"Our parents working together, childhood friends, everything" he says.
"Yeah and you just left out the most important part that my parents used to run a freaking mafia shit and now my brother is running it" I boasted.

"Like I said twinn..." Jacob started.
"Yeah I know only half of the truth" I interrupt him.

"He's telling the truth twinnie you have to trust us, just us, start trusting us again will you?" Jacob whispers.
