Chapter 81: Lyle...I mean Kai

"Oh, don't you dare bring Luci into this." Aren waves her finger in my face. "Would you want to put Luci in harm Christian?"

"Well...no. God, don't put me in the middle of this." He puts his hands up in defense.

"I'm telling her, whether you both support it or not."

"What are you going to tell your father when you do? He will be furious." Christian says.

"He will be mad, but move on from it eventually. She needs to know." I walk off into the house, leaving them where they're at.

The Next Day...

Leaning up against my truck, I wait for Quinneth to come out. Her grandfather has been using her car, because his doesn't work. I think she said It was something wrong with the battery or something like that.

She texted me last night to pick her up. Says that I owe her for what happened yesterday before I left her house. I know that I was in the wrong for reading her stuff, but she was keeping things from me. We are boyfriend and girlfriend now we have to tell each other everything, hence me wanting to tell her that I'm a werewolf.

I have no idea how she will react to it, hopefully she doesn't freak out to the point where she can't cope. Now that I know she's definitely a Zastitnik, I need to be able to help her. I won't tell her what she is until I tell her that I'm a werewolf. We spent over an hour on the phone last night talking about what happened in her room yesterday. She told me not to question her and don't snoop through her stuff, to go directly to her. I told her that I was sorry and the matter was laid to rest, or so she thinks.

I wanted to press her more about the visions, seen if she saw anything else but I'll just wait. Thinking of Quinn, I see her walking out the door with her bag slung over her shoulder. Her heels clank against the rocky ground. She walks kind of funny when she wears heels, but also kind of sexy it's a weird thing.

Walking out the building she's talking intently to Lyle. I can't believe Lyle is the son of Vet Khan. The legendary Vet Khan, warrior and King of the Khans. I didn't know that Vet had another kid, that's why I didn't notice him. Also, he must have found a way to mask his Khan smell.

She notices me standing by my truck, waving bye to Lyle or should I say Kai, she skips over to me.

"Hi." A smile forms on her lips, but also a scowl. She's trying to remain mad about the situation, but she can't.

"Hey baby." I pull her by the waist to my chest and kiss her deeply on the lips. She shoves me back.

"Alexander we are in a public place." Her cheeks turn bright red. She hates when I kiss her in public, makes it seem like everyone is staring at us smooching.

"I don't care." I kiss her again; from the corner of my eye, I see Lyle. Reluctantly pulling my lips from hers, I readjust myself. I need to seem intimidating when I talk to him, so he'll give me all the information I need.

"Get in the car." I pat her on the butt while walking over to Lyle.

"Where are you going?" She semi-screams at me.

"To talk to your friend." I tell her.

"Don't be mean." I just shake my head.

"Just get in the car Quinn." She snickers at me.

"Don't tell me what to do." I hear my car door shut behind me, all that for her just to do as I say.

"Lyle?" He says bye to a friend and turns his attention to me.

"Yea."

"Or should I say Kai." His eyes widen.

"How do you know that?" He whispers as he looks around, trying to see if anyone heard what I said.

"Your father came by the pack yesterday, and I can tell by the way you're looking at me you already knew."

He lets out a deep sigh as he rubs his temples. "Now keep a smile on your face, I can feel Quinn staring at me I don't want her to think something is going on here." Me and Lyle plaster on a smile as we turn around to see Quinn waving at us. Turning back around, we resume the conversation.

"I knew that he was here, I could smell the scent of a powerful Khan when I was running in the woods yesterday."

"Why didn't you go and see him, he said he hasn't heard or seen from you in months." I could never leave my parents for a long period of time and not tell them where I was at. My mother would kill me, hug me and then kill me again. Also, I couldn't do that to them, too cruel.

"I can't." He shifts from side to side.

"Why not?"

"Because... I came here to look for my sister, Katana, and nothing has been accomplished. I can't go back to him with no news."

"My father and the scouts are helping your father locate her. Now, why are you working here with Quinn?"

"I don't like or want Quinn if that's what you think. Katana wants me to look out for her." I thought he hasn't seen her. "A couple months back when I first came to St. Helena, she told me she came here to keep an eye on Quinn."

"Why, it's not making any sense. The connection with Katana and Quinn isn't adding up."

"She knew that Quinn was your mate, and she kept rambling on about her being a Zastitnik and that she had to keep her safe from Sasha and Yount."

"I'm assuming this is about them wanting to resurrect the first power."

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"Quinn's having visions, also one of Sasha's goons gave me a message. Four lotuses rise, one falls." He looks at me, not moved by what I said.

"The First Power's symbol was the Black Lotus and there are four of them. They come back from the dead and Quinn falls, meaning she could potentially die." Fear overcomes his face.

"They won't get her, not with all of us protecting her."

"Got that right." I will die to protect Quinn if I have to.
