Logan pulled back, breathing hard. He rested his forehead against mine, looked into my eyes and breathed, "I love you, Jo."

Unfortunately, my brothers burst into the room right at that point.

"Think again, matey," Aaron said as Mike and Ryan came forwards. The both pulled me away but I was too busy grinning to struggle. Logan grinned back and happiness spread through me. He loves me. Logan, the most amazing guy ever, loves me! Boring, crazy, little old me!

"Guys! You promised to give them ten minutes alone," Kat griped as she came in through the door.

"Sorry," Mike said, not sounding the least bit apologetic.

"But Jo needs to rest," Ryan continued.

"They can talk later."

"But not make out," Aaron glared.

"No way," the twins chanted together.

"Not until Jo's fifty-two."

"At least."

Kat looked exasperated and looked to me for help but I was still too busy grinning. Kat sighed and rolled her eyes. She threw up her hands as she walked out. "Whatever. She can fight her out battle when she's back on earth."

Logan watched me being pulled with critical eyes, looking me over and glaring at the twins. I built up my courage and then mouthed, 'Love you too'.

Not the most romantic thing, but seeing as how my throat was too sore to actually talk it was the best I could do. A huge smile broke over his face and it took Aaron five tries to recapture his attention.

Ryan and Mike pulled me through the door and then down the corridor. I poked one on the shoulder and they stopped. I smiled up at them, 'Love you guys too.'

They scowled and then it turned into panic when I fainted.

"-not allowed to sleep in the same room," Aaron was lecturing. Still. Once I'd woken back up, I was given water and some food shakes before my brothers stalked in and started lecturing me. That was half an hour ago and all I wanted was to see Logan.

"Ever. Not until your married," Ryan carried on.

"No making out till your sixty either," Mike added.

I frowned. "I thought it was fifty-two?"

Aaron shrugged. "Seeing as how he's two years older than you, these things need to change."

"Maybe we should make it seventy."

"Seventy-five at least."

"How about you guys let Logan and I decide?" I asked hopefully. They didn't even register the question.

"It'll be hard for them to date anyway when he's in America," Aaron mused.

The twins brightened. "Hey, you're right."

"They'll only be able to see each other a few times a year until she turns twenty-one!"

I coughed and pretended to start choking. Their attention was instantly on me and they were besides the bed straight away.

"Shit! Call a nurse!"

"Screw a nurse!"

"You've already screwed a nurse! Get a doctor!"

I stopped choking and cleared my throat. "Now that I have your attention, can I speak?" They all scowled at me.

"That was mean."

"Beyond mean, it was just plain spiteful."

"This doesn't concern you anyway."

I narrowed my eyes. "I think you have this backwards. It doesn't concern you." I cleared my throat again and crossed my arms. "Now, I think you guys need to know something."

"Don't tell me your pregnant," Aaron said, going pale. The twins joined him and were both looking at me with horror.

I rolled my eyes. "If it makes you feel better, I'm still a virgin." All of them visibly relaxed. I took a deep breath and braced myself for the lecture I was going to get. "But I'm going back to America with the Pack."

Silence. I gulped and could feel the anger building up. I quickly rushed on. "It's not that I don't love you guys, I do. But I'd be happier with my own kind. I'm not human anymore, remember?"

Aaron was the first one to speak, "So you wish to live with the Pack." I nodded and waited for the lecture.

"And this is what you want?" Ryan asked.

"More than anything," I answered truthfully.

Mike sighed, "You had better come visit us."

A smile bubbled up on my face. "Really? It's okay?" They all scowled but nodded. I held open my arms. "Give me a hug right now you guys!"

They chuckled and complied. "You know we wouldn't keep you here if it wasn't what you wanted," Mike said as he pulled back.

"And that's leaving out the fact that we can never say no to you," Ryan chimed in.

"But no sex," Aaron said hotly. "Not until your twenty-one, at least."

I felt a blush run up my cheeks. "We haven't even gone on a date yet," I muttered. "Plus, if I'm going to discuss my sex life with anyone I'd rather it be him than my three older brothers."

The twins shuddered. "We rather it be no one and you remain pure the rest of your life."

"But you'd better discuss it with him so that he won't get frisky before your twenty-one."

I rolled my eyes. "Coming from the twins who lost their virginity when they were sixteen?" I looked at Aaron and raised a brow. "Or fifteen?"

All three blushed and started stuttering. I chuckled and glanced at the door, listening to a set of footsteps come closer. Someone knocked on the door and my breathe caught in my throat in anticipation.

Kat popped her head in. "You guys finished yet?" Damn. My shoulders sagged and I started scowling. Kat chuckled. "There's a wolf in the waiting room pacing a groove into the floor. Is it safe for him to come in?"

I nodded quickly and Kat laughed as my brothers slowly nodded, scowling the whole time. Kat disappeared and a few seconds later, Logan appeared in the doorway. I beamed and he grinned back.

"Hey," he said walking forwards. He ignored my brothers and walked up to me, gripped my hand and brushed a kiss on my forehead. "How are you doing?" He stood by the bed I looked pointedly at my brothers.

"Ew," Ryan muttered.

"Where's a bucket?" Mike said, as they both walked out.

Aaron glared at us and then turned his gaze solely on Logan, "No funny business, pup." Then he stormed out and slammed the door shut. I waited to hear footsteps but all I heard was a huff. Clearly he's going to stay just outside the door to make sure we don't get up to any 'funny business'. Brothers.

I looked back at Logan and answered his question. "Good. Sore and aching but my wounds are healing up quickly."

"That's good," he murmured, playing with my fingers. I could feel yet another blush running up my cheeks but I tamed it back down. This is weird though. No one's ever played with my fingers before. And that sounds a lot dirtier than it actually is.

"So what did your brothers say?" He asked, not looking away from my eyes. "I couldn't hear what they were saying from the waiting room as there was too much other noise."

I sighed. "Well, they spent the first half an hour lecturing me on how I was too young and then how we weren't allowed to sleep in the same room or make out till I was at least seventy. Then they all cheered up because they thought you were going back America without me so I pretended to choke and-"

"You're coming back to America then?" Logan cut in.

I nodded. "Yeah. If that's alright, obviously. I mean, I just sort of assumed you guys wouldn't mind. Jeremy said it was up to me but there wasn't really any decision because I love you so obviously the only decision was to move to America. Besides, I'd miss Matt and Jenna from school and-"

Logan cut me off with his lips. My eyes closed and I felt my whole body warm up as he kissed me slowly, sweetly. He pulled away slowly and chuckled. I kept my eyes closed and tried to breathe normally.

"It's fine if you come back. I wouldn't have it any other way," Logan said. I finally opened my eyes to see laughter in his.

I blushed. "Uh, listen. My brothers wanted us to talk about something."

Logan chuckled, "From that blush I'm going to guess it's something to do with sex?"

I turned into a tomato. "Well, yeah. I told them to butt out and that I would only discuss it with you."

Logan leaned forwards again and brushed his lips over mine briefly before pulling back. "Don't worry. I'm not going to rush you. We have all the time in the world."

I smiled sheepishly. "Uh, I think I should also point out that I've never, uh- that is to say that-"

"You're a virgin," he finished off. Stupid blush! "I know," he grinned. "And if I remember correctly your also my slave."

I frowned and then remembered. Damn. I was his slave. He beat at that racing game. For… two months, right? I said tentatively, "Couldn't we just forget all that? I mean, after nearly getting sold at an actual slave auction..."

Logan's face darkened. "I can't believe those things still exist." He shook his head. "And making them fight beforehand." We both scowled but then a grin creeped onto his face, "Don't worry. I'll treat you much, much nicer."

I sighed, "You're not going to forget about it are you?"

"Not a chance," he grinned.

"So what's my first order going to be?" I said carefully, eyeing him up.

"Well, your first order is to get better," he said in all seriousness.

"I think I can handle that," I murmured.

He lent forwards and released my hand, placing them both on either side of my head. "The second order..." He leaned closer, "is to go on a date with me when we get back to America."

A goofy grin spread across my face. "I think I can do that, too."

"And your last one, which you can do now is," he lent even closer and my breathe got caught in my throat, "to tell me you love me."

I closed the gap between us and kissed him. I ran my hand through his hair and both of us opened our mouths at the same time. We battled for dominance and he won. I moaned as he slowly pulled away.

I opened my eyes and gave him a smile. "I love you, Logan. Have since my second day at school."

He flinched, "You mean the day I shouted at you? Man, I'm sorry about that. I guess I just got so angry that you'd hit Evie. Why did you hit her by the way?"

"Uh, well," I rubbed the back of my neck. "You see I was talking to Matt in the stairwell and I was freaking out because I'd only just realized that I liked you. Bitch Fac- Uh, Evie overheard and threatened me with her older brother. I got angry and punched her. Once, by the way. I only hit her once, and it wasn't even hard. Although it did break her nose and give her a black eye."

"Sorry I believed her story and not yours," Logan murmured, a frown marring his face.

I shrugged, regretting it when my back flared up, "It's ok. You thought I was just some annoying little kid who was reckless and immature and-"

Logan placed a hand over my mouth. "Okay, I get your point." He kissed me again and by the time he pulled away I was breathless. "Forgive me?"

"Kiss me like that again and I'll forgive you about walking in on me in the shower and yelling at me in the car," I said with a smile.

He grinned at me and lent forwards. His lips had just brushed mine when the door opened. "Okay, step away and no one will be killed," Kat said loudly. I peeked around Logan to see that she had a hand over her eyes.

I laughed as Logan pulled away. "Great timing, as always," he muttered.

"You can take your hand away now, Kat. We're not doing anything," I said. She carefully peeked through her fingers and then sighed in relief.

"I thought I was going to have to peel you guys off each other," Kat said, walking forwards. "I thought I'd come warn you that the Pack are on their way in. They want to know what happened."

I frowned and looked at Logan. "Didn't you tell them?"

He shook his head. "I was mostly out of it but we decided to wait to you were awake to tell it."

I nodded slowly and then thought back to the man that had saved us. Who was he? Then I frowned at another question. "Guys, can you tell me something?"

"What?" They both said at the same time.

"Where the hell are we?"

They both laughed and Logan answered. "We're in one of your fathers' medical units. It's designed especially for supernaturals."

I nodded and smiled at the Pack as they walked in. Half an hour later, Logan had told his side of the story and I was halfway through mine when my Mum poked her head in the door.

"Sorry to interrupt but I need to go."

I frowned and sat up, wincing when it hurt. "What? But I've barely seen you."

"I know, honey. But there are... plans, to be made. Your father has put me in charge of you brothers funeral," she explained.

I shook my head slowly. "Drake isn't my brother, Mum. He hated me."

Pain filled her eyes but she gave me a shaky smile anyway. "I know. But he was my son and I still love him." She waved and then she was gone.

I shook my head and turned to the others. "Where was I?"

"Little Miss Muffet," Elena said.

I nodded. "Right. Raul got pissed, blamed me and threw me off his lap. I rolled into Logan and then was picked up and pushed towards a wall." I shivered as I remembered the crack of the whip. Logan rumbled my palm soothingly and I gave him a small smile. "I was chained to it and, uh, punished."

Jeremy frowned. "How?"

"You weren't raped, were you?"

I shook my head and blinked at them. Wasn't it obvious from the cuts on my back? "A whip." Logan's grip on my hand tightened.

"Bastard," Clay spat. Everyone nodded along with him.

"Didn't you guys know that already though? I mean, it's not exactly an injury that you can hide," I said.

"We found you, Logan and all the women unconscious in the middle of a field," Kat explained. "You weren't bleeding at all."

I frowned. "But– that's not possible." I looked at Jeremy, "There's no way I could have healed that quickly, right? I mean I had at least twelve deep cuts on my back."

Jeremy shook his head. "The only injuries the doctor diagnosed was a fractured rib, a few bruised ribs and dehydration. That's not including the split lip you had or the bruises."

My frown deepened and I reached back with one hand. I reached under the plain white shirt and felt my back. I could feel thin lines that felt slightly bumpy littering my back. "Okay, so either the angel dude did something or I healed really quickly."

"Angel dude?"

I nodded and explained. "That's how we got free. They were meant to give me twenty-five lashings but some man interrupted. I'm not sure what happened to the men because I was pretty out of it. But I heard screams and guns going off before complete silence. When I'd glanced behind me I'd only seen a man heading towards me. He had light blue eyes, black and white hair and shit kickers on his feet. He freed me and carried me out. He reminded me of a guardian angel because his voice sounded like heaven and he had a smile to die for."

Logan scowled and I smiled. "Don't worry. He's too old for me. Besides, I'm taken."

Logan nodded sharply. "Damn right you are."

"Great," Clay muttered. "We have to put up with them two at home."

I smiled harder. "Anyway. He carried me outside, laid me out somewhere and told me that Logan and the women were already taken care of. Then he told me to go to sleep and that's the last thing I remember."

"How cute are we talking?" Kat asked.

"We're talking son of God gorgeous."

Jamie let out a low whistle. "Man, this guy sounds interesting."

"You got that right," Elena put in.

All the men growled. I chuckled and shifted so that my legs were hanging off the bed. Logan frowned. "Where do you think you're going? Your meant to be resting."

I raised a brow. "Yeah? And? I wanna see if there's anything on my back. I'd be shocked if there weren't any scars."

Logan face was etched with concern as Kat said. "Why don't you just lift up the back of your shirt so we can all see?"

I shrugged. "Sure. It's not like you guys will leave me alone until you see it."

Logan was the first beside me and the others crowded round the other side of the bed where they could see. I braced my hands on either side of me as Logan lifted up the back of my shirt.

"Holy shit," someone muttered.

"Does it hurt?" Logan asked.

I shook my head. "Not much. It's more of a small twinge. Is there anything there?"

"You were right. You have scars scattered there," Elena said.

Logan lent on the bed and looked at them. I glanced over my shoulder and watched his face but he gave nothing away. I looked straight ahead and asked, "So no one knows what's happened to Raul or those men?"

"Nope. There wasn't a trace of them anywhere," Elena answered.

"One of the women tried to show me there and we followed her to a beach but there was nothing there," Jamie said, leaning back against Jeremy.

I twisted my head round and looked at them, "Oh yeah. Are the woman alright? Where are they?"

"Your father's having them interrogated now."

"Were they all okay?"

"Mostly. Nearly all of them are having counselling though but they're gonna go back to their old lives if they can."

I smiled. "That's great. I was worried something might happen to that brunette I fought. She risked a lot by not fighting. Do you guys know if she's alright? She was wearing purple."

They remained quiet behind me and someone shuffled their feet. Their silence told me everything. "She died, didn't she?"

"A bullet wound," Jeremy supplied.

Logan let my top fall back down and then sat beside me, wrapping an arm over my shoulder. I sucked in a deep breath and changed the subject. "So when can we go back home?"

"As soon as your dressed," Clay said, heading for the door. The others started trailing out.

"Oh yeah!" Kat snapped her fingers and then came over to me. She gave me a hug and a huge smile. "Congrats about finally telling him, by the way." She turned to Logan and hit him around the head. I jumped at the sudden violence. Kat pointed a finger in his face, "Next time, don't be such a bastard. Or take so long."

Logan scowled at her but pulled me closer. "There won't be a next time."

Kat's smile widened. "Good answer. Ciao, people!" With that she flounced out the room.

"She can be scary sometimes," I muttered.

"Try growing up with her," Logan said. I looked up at him with a smile only to see him frowning. "I need to confess something."

Oh god. Evie's pregnant isn't she? My eyes narrowed and I remained silent as I waited. If she is, I'll throw him out that goddamn window.

"It's nothing serious. Well, you might think so but–" He cut himself off and rubbed his jaw. "I couldn't decide whether to tell you or not but I figure I should if this is going to go anywhere." He looked down at me and eyed me as if I was going to explode any minute, "I've seen you naked."

…

"Four times."

…

"And I broke your iPod."

…

"WHAT?"

I scowled as we drove up to Stonehaven. We'd left England two days ago and we were finally home. My family– apart from Kaleb, my father –saw us all off at the airport. Where my mother gave me a small package. The Pill. Yep, my mother brought me the Pill. And I thought I'd been more embarrassed about Logan seeing me naked. Four times.

I scowled as I remembered. He was right for looking at me as if I was going to explode. I did. We haven't spoken to each other since that argument in the hospital room. Yes, I get that it couldn't be helped. But still. I wasn't ready to show him my body. I mean, shit. We aren't even officially going out yet. We have yet to go on a date. And he's seen me naked! NAKED! And he broke my iPod!

As soon as the car stopped I climbed out and took a deep breath. The smell of the forest washed over me and I took comfort in it. I headed for the front door and Kat walked beside me, slinging an arm over my shoulders.

"Cheer up, Jo. You've got the guy, your freedom and a bright looking future," she said, squeezing me comfortingly.

I gave her a small smile. "Yeah, but how long will it last?"

"Well, it all depends on your decisions, really. But as soon as my brother apologizes for being such a perv-"

"I'm not a perv!" Logan yelled from behind us.

Kat chuckled, "Like I was saying, as soon as Logan apologizes you can get on with your life."

I sighed. "Yeah. Then I can finally go on a first date."

"Does that mean you forgive me?" He sounded so hopeful that I almost smiled.

"Nope."

He jogged up beside me. "What will it take for you to forgive me?"

I thought about it for a second. "Buy me a new iPod."

"Done."

"And let me paint your picture."

"Uh, sure."

"That means not moving for hours."

"Fine. If it means you'll forgive me."

"I suppose." He grinned, picked me and gave me a sound kiss on the lips. I smiled back as he placed me back down on the ground.

Kat laughed as she headed inside. "I can't believe it! My brother is whipped!"

"Shut up Kit-Kat! I'm not whipped!"

I rolled my eyes and followed Kat inside. The adults trailed behind us, chatting amongst themselves. I headed for the stairs.

"If you guys don't mind, I'm going to take a really long bath and phone Matt." Before anyone could object, I was up the stairs and in the bathroom. I turned on the tap and put the plug in. I padded to my room, smiling. It feels like it's been ages since I was here. My smile faltered when I realized it actually had been a while. God, it must have been at least a month.

I mean, I got kidnapped, escaped, ran into Jamie. Lost three of my best friends, got betrayed by my eldest brother, kidnapped again and then nearly sold as a slave. And that's not including the other shit. Wow. What a month.

I changed into a baggy shirt and pulled on some shorts before heading back out and looking for Logan. I found him in his room. I knocked on the jamb.

"Hey, you don't know where- Oh my god." My eyes flew away and I spun round, showing him my back. "God, Logan! Why don't you shut the door if your changing?"

"You're the only one who has problems with nudity," he answered. I heard a draw open and then footsteps. A warm arm wrapped round my waist and he dropped his head down to my shoulder. "When you grow up with my parents, you learn not to care about silly things like that." He brushed some of my hair away from my neck and slowly kissed upwards.

"Uh, I just, uh, wanted to know if- ugh." My eyes closed as his other hand ran up my ribcage and cupped my breast. He sucked gently on my neck.

"Wanted to know what?" Logan murmured and he started to move his hand. My nipple hardened under his touch and stabbed at his palm. He laved the small bruise just behind my ear.

I tried to straighten my muddled thoughts, "I- uh, wanted. Phone. Do you know where my- ugh, cell is?"

"Maybe," he murmured, moving to the other side of my neck.

Oh good god in heaven. He pulled me back against him and his heat surrounded me. I could feel his erection hard at my lower back and he growled softly when I moved.

"Guys! We've been back for five minutes!" Kat screeched. My eyes flew open and I saw her falling backwards. "That is so not something I ever wanted to see." She landed heavily on the floor and started scrambling backwards, covering her eyes. "You could have at least closed the door!"

Logan chuckled behind me and mortification spread through me. All I'd wanted was my phone! Shit! The bath!

I pushed Logan's hands away and jumped over Kat. I ran into the bathroom and dived for the tap. It was a mere inch from over flowing. I turned the water off and then gripped the side of the tub. My God. I sucked in a deep breath and tried to slow down my thumping heart.

Desire was burning me. I cursed. Damn it! It's all Logan's fault. If he hadn't of touched me, kissed me...

"Jo? Here's your phone."

I jerked out of my thoughts and spun round. Logan was stood there holding my cell and only wearing a pair of cutoff jeans. I gulped and kept my eyes on his face. His blue eyes were dark, hot. And solely focused on me. My whole body reacted. It throbbed and desperately wanted to get close.

"Thanks," I said hoarsely. Shit was that my voice? It's was all husky and, well, sexy. I shivered. I walked forwards and grabbed my cell.

To take my mind off Logan I turned it on and then scrolled through my messages. All one hundred and ninety seven of them. Nearly all of them were from Matt, a few from Jenna and then random ones.

"Hey, what excuse are we going to use for not being at school?" I asked, moving on to the next message.

"There was some problems with your parents will."

My head jerked up and my finger froze. "My what?"

Logan chuckled, "Your cover story remember? Your Jeremy's cousin."

"Oh, right. I remember." My finger started moving again.

"There was a problem with your parents will and it asked that the whole family go to Australia to sort it out."

I snorted. "Okay..."

"So are actually going to get in your bath?" Logan asked.

"When you leave, then yes."

He sighed, "I guess it's too soon to have a bath together."

My cell slipped from my fingers and I stumbled to pick it back up. "Logan! Of course it is! We haven't even gone out yet!"

"Technically we've already taken a bath together."

"That was totally different! For starters we were both wearing clothes and- and- oh just get out!" I shoved at his chest and he went stumbling back. I slammed the door shut and reached for the lock. Damn it. There wasn't one. "Don't think of coming in here, Logan," I said sternly.

Logan chuckled but I heard him move away. I shook my head as I got undressed and climbed in the bath, keeping my cell with me.

I dialled Matts number. He picked up after the first ring.

"Where the hell have you been? Jenna and I have been freaking out you- you bitch!"

"I'm sorry! I forgot to take my phone with me. How are you?"

"Relieved. Pissed off. Tired. Bummed out. Take your pick."

"I get why your relieved and pissed off. Tired is understandable too. Why are you bummed out?" I sank back further in the water and bent my knee, resting my foot on the side.

"Because I'm not getting anywhere with Derek," he groaned. I heard bed springs and a rustle. "Not only have I not found out what side he plays for, he sees me nothing more than a friend. Plus, Leo and Jack have only just figured out that I'm gay. The others had already figured it out and just assumed the others knew."

"Shit, how are they taking it?"

"Okay, they keep looking at me as if I'm about to burst out into a Kylie song and start wearing makeup." I chuckled. "Enough about me. Where have you been for the past month?"

"I had to go back to Australia," I lied. Man, it sucks having to lie to him. "There were some problems with my parents will so we had to go."

"And did it get sorted out?"

I took a deep breath and released it slowly. "Mostly. Although something good came out of the trip." A smile lit up my face, "A very, very good thing."

"What?"

"I told Logan how I felt."

"..."

"Matt?"

"OMG! How did he react! Was it good? Bad? Mediocre? My god woman! Tell me!" Matt yelled excitedly.

I laughed, "It was amazing! He told me first how he felt. Then he gave me a melt-your-heart kiss."

"Tell me exactly what he said!"

"His exact words were, 'I love you, Jo'. Unfortunately I'd lost my voice from a, uh, throat infection so I'd only been able to mouth how I felt."

"I am so happy for you, Jo." Matt sighed, "It's like a fairy tale." Yeah, a very dark and twisty fairy tale.

"Yeah, and then we had a fight."

"What?" I could just tell that I'd popped his 'fairy tale' bubble.

"Well, he admitted to seeing me naked and breaking my iPod."

"He's seen you naked?"

"Yeah, but I've forgiven him. Just. We didn't talk for two days. And I only forgave him when he promised to buy me a new iPod and sit for a painting."

"When did he see you naked?"

"He'd walked in on me in the shower. Only he'd told me he hadn't see anything."

Matt let out a low whistle. "Blimey. Sounds like you had one hell of a trip."

"You got that right."

"So has he kissed you?"

I snorted. "He's done more than just kiss me. We only got back about ten minutes ago and I went to ask him where my phone was. Only he was in the middle of getting dressed."

"Totally naked?"

"Yep. I freaked and turned round. He pulled on some boxers and next thing I knew I had a love bite on my neck and Kat was yelling at us."

"He's given you a love bite?"

I placed a hand over the bruise forming behind my ear. "Oh yeah. And he did a bit more than that."

"Wow." We were silent for a full second before Matt asked, "So hotness factor?"

"Twenty-six."

"On a scale of a hundred? Man, I thought he'd do better."

"No, that was on a scale of ten. On a scale of a hundred he's more like one-ninety."

"How big is his... you know."

Water splashed over the side of the tub as I jerked into a sitting position, "Matt!"

"What? I was just wandering."

"Well don't!"

We sat in silence.

"So how big was it?"

"Matt!"

"I know, I know," he sighed.

We sat in more silence.

I sighed, "Ok, I have to say pretty big. But I didn't look."

"Then how would you know?"

A blush ran up my cheeks. "Well if the erection I'd felt at my back was anything to go by..."

"Hot damn, girl! Just how far have you gone?"

"Not as far as your thinking. I'm still a virgin."

"Unfortunately..."

"You just spoke my mind."

"So how far have you gone?"

"Nothing below the belt. Can we stop talking about this now? If I get any redder, I'll explode."

Matt laughed. "Ah, what an innocent mind you have."

I thought back to those dreams I kept having of Logan. "Not all that innocent."

"Okay, well I'm afraid I'm going to hang up. I've got a lot of homework to do. When will you be back in school?"

"Uh, what day is it today?"

"Tuesday."

"A week or so? I need to get used to the time difference again."

"Okay, see you then! And try not to get caught making-out."

I rolled my eyes. "I'll try not to. Bye."

"Love ya!" He hung up. I chuckled and put my phone on the floor. Gotta remember not to stand on it when I get out.

For the next hour I simply soaked in the hot water. Then I scrubbed myself clean and climbed out, grabbing a towel to dry myself off. I'd just finished wrapping it around myself when I spotted black and white hair in the mirror.

I spun round to see the hell angel leaning against the door casually, his arms crossed over his chest and one knee bent, his foot resting against the door.

"What the hell are you doing in here?"

He gave me a sexy grin. "Don't worry, pup. I didn't see anything."

"That doesn't explain why your here!" I clutched the towel tighter.

"I've come to set your mind at ease," he said, his voice going all heavenly on me. "To tell you that Raul is no longer a threat and that you can live out your life without fear of him returning."

"Jo? Are you alright?" Logan banged on the door.

"What's your name?" I asked as he didn't move.

"Who the hell is that?" The sounded like it was splitting, but the angel dude still didn't move.

"Your life won't be easy though," the hell angel continued as if there wasn't someone knocking down the door he was leaning against. "There are going to be lots of hardships."

"You do realize I can't take you seriously with shit-kickers and a leather jacket, right?"

He gave me a devilish grin that seemed all the more devilish on his angelic face. "I know. But you'll see me again. After a while you'll start to trust me."

"Were you the one who healed my back?"

"I simply quickened the process. I'll see you soon, pup." He stood up straight and a white light started to shimmer around it.

"Wait! What's your name?"

He gave me another sexy grin as he disappeared. Then one word floated around me. "Raphael."

The door smashed apart and Logan came crashing in. Clay hot on his heels, along with Elena and Jeremy. Kat stood calmly on the other side, leaning against the wall.

"Who the hell were you talking to?" Logan demanded, storming towards me as his eyes flew around.

"I believe his name was Raphael," I smiled.

"Is he a threat?" Clay asked.

I shook my head. "Raphael was the man that saved us. The hell angel. He simply wanted to put my mind at ease about Raul."

"So he came to you when you were in the bath?" Elena asked.

"Was he naked too?" Kat had a huge smile on her face.

"He better not have been!"

Laughter bubbled up inside me and I couldn't tame it down. I laughed and laughed at how my life had turned out.

I'd gone from being a normal teenage girl to a werewolf who was also the daughter of a Cabal leader. And I fell in love.

I glanced around at my new family as I laughed. Life was certainly going to be interesting if the last six months were anything to go by.
