Chapter 0241
“Don’t let your dads see you checking him out like that,” I teased, and her face flushes red.
“I’m not checking him out,” she huffs.
“I don’t blame you, he’s cute, and seems to be interested in you,” I shrug.
“Eww, Mum, you’re old, you can’t say boys my age are cute” she scoffs.
“Hey, less of the old, I’m only 35, plus, I didn’t mean it like that. He’s a good–looking boy,” I defend.
“Well, he’s human, and I’m not interested in anyone apart from my bonds anyway,” she says, but her eyes wander to the boy again.
“Mmhm, I think you forget I was your age once,” I laugh before leaning back in my floating ring and closing my eyes to relax.
A sudden splash beside me has me opening my eyes quickly again, and I look just in time to see Harper emerge from the water, looking flustered.
“What happened?” I laugh as her floating ring floats away.
Harper turns to face me, giving her back to the lifeguard and her expression is serious.
“Mum, he’s a Grey,” she whispers and my eyes dart to the teen boy, studying him.
His eyes are blue but otherwise, there’s nothing else to suggest what she is saying is true.
“How do you know?” I ask.
“Because when his eyes met mine, they flashed with a blue glow. I’m serious, Mum, I know what I saw,” she says, glancing back towards him.
“Okay,” I nod, and then I open the mind link with my guys.
“We have a potential Grey here. He looks around 17 or 18, wearing a red and yellow lifeguard uniform with trainee written across the front. He has reddish brown hair and is watching the relaxation pool,” I tell them.
“On my way,” Deacon responds.
“How do you know?” Luke asks.
“Harper said his eyes glowed blue when they made eye contact,” I say.
“Oh, I bet they did. Wait for me D, I’m coming,” Mason grumbles, and I suddenly fear for the boy’s safety.
“Your dads are coming to check him out,” I reassure Harper.
“Tell them not to scare him,” she says quickly, giving me a worried look.
“They won’t.”
“Really? Because they look pretty scary to me,” she says, pointing behind me.
I turn to look and watch as Deacon and Mason walk with purpose. Deacon’s face is his serious headmaster one, and Mason’s jaw is set tight, his eyes narrowed, and his dark tattoos make him look even more intimidating. Crap.
“Go easy guys, he’s just a kid,” I say into the mind link and Mason’s eyes find mine. He looks over me and then Harper before his fists clench.

“I know what kids his age think,” Mason grunts.
“You’ll embarrass Harper, just be nice, he’s not done anything wrong,” I try.
“He looked at our daughter,” Mace snaps.
