Screw My Childhood Sweetheart His Alpha Brother Marked Me First novel Chapter 142

I looked from my pizza to him and the rest of his bond, “Did you guys help?” I made a face at Cass. “I know you helped with the closet, We’re going to have words about that later,”

Cass let out a laugh that had her guys looking at her with adoration. “That was the most fun I’ve had in months.”

Jack smiled at me, “We worked on it when we could, but it’s awesome to see it with all the finishing touches. It’ll be a

good home for you guys.”

Caspian swept his thumb back and forth across my thigh. “I think so too.”

“I convinced Coop to put one of those epic showers in at our place. That’s going to be fun,” Cass said.

Cooper sent her a heated look. “Should be done next week.”

I picked at my pizza, still not quite used to how open pack members were about their sex lives.

Vaughn moved behind me and massaged my shoulders. “Eat”

I took a bite of the pizza, chewing and swallowing. “Happy?”

“When it’s all gone, I will be.”

“Bossy,” I huffed.

“Stubborn,” he returned and then dropped a kiss to the top of my head.

The room had gone quiet around us, and when I looked up, everyone’s focus was on me and Vaughn. “What?”

Jack cleared his throat. “We just haven’t seen Vaughn like this…ever. It’s good.” He smiled at Vaughn. “Happy for you,

man.”

“Thanks,” Vaughn replied, his voice rough.

“I think it’s awesome,” Cass said, as she leaned forward and plopped a veggie slice onto her plate. As she was leaning back in her seat, she froze. Her eyes went a milky white and she dropped her plate.

“Shit,” Ridge muttered, his arm curving around her shoulders and holding Cass to him as Jack picked up the plate and pizza.

“What’s going on? Is she okay?” I started to stand, but Knox motioned me back down.

“She’s okay. It’s her gift.”

“What is?”

“She’s a seer,” River said. “She can have visions of the future

The white in Cass‘ eyes slowly began to clear, and she blinked a few times.

Cooper handed her a cup of soda. “Drink some of this.”

She took a few sips as her eyebrows pulled together in a furrow.

“What is it?” Ridge asked.

“It was weird. Like the vision was trying to reveal itself to me but couldn’t.”

Jack moved to her other side. “Has that ever happened before?”

“Only once,” Cass looked around the room. “When there was a powerful shield hiding something from me.”

I glanced at Caspian. “Like the psychic shield you told me about?”

He nodded.

“They can prevent mental gifts from accessing themselves and the people around them,” Cass explained.

“What could you see?” Anson pushed.

Cass seemed to be searching through her mind, looking for any kernel of information. She finally shook her head. “Everything’s too blurry. The only thing I got was the flicker of a feeling.”

“What kind of feeling?” Knox asked.

“Greed,” Cass said softly.

A shiver passed through me, and River wrapped an arm around me, pulling me close.

A knock sounded on the door.

“Come in,” Knox called. “It’s my dad.”

Mason strode into the living room. “We have a problem. The Quad is back.”

“What? Why?“Knox was on his feet in a flash.

“I don’t know, but unless you want them in your home, we need to get to the lodge now. They’re on their way up. Coby will do her best to delay them, but you know patience isn’t one of their virtues,” Mason said.

“Go,” Cass urged. “We’ll clean everything up here and leave your leftovers in the fridge.”

I stood, pulling her into a quick hug. “Thanks. Think this is what your vision was trying to tell you?”

“It’s likely. I’m sure all the members of the Quad have shields in their inner circles.”

I grimaced as I released her. “Hopefully none of them try to murder me or drain me dry while they’re here.”

Vaughn let out a snarl as he moved in behind me.

Cass winced. “Maybe don’t say stuff like that around the growly one.”

I couldn’t help it, I laughed. I patted Vaughn’s chest. “He is growly, isn’t he?”

“We need to go,” Knox said.

I swallowed, not wanting to leave the place that had already managed to become my safe space.

Cass squeezed my arm. “You’ve got this.”

I headed for the door. Anson was already behind the wheel of his Range Rover. Even though Mason had his SUV as well, all of us piled into Anson’s vehicle. I had to sit on Vaughn’s lap. His arms locked around me like a seat belt.

I faced River, his hand looping around my thigh. “Tell me it’s going to be okay,” I said softly.

His fingers tightened on my thigh. “It’s going to be okay. There isn’t any other option.”

Caspian pulled the hair away from my neck and placed a kiss there. “We’ve got your back.”

Knox turned in his seat. “Keep toeing the same line you did before. Be respectful, but don’t let them push you into anything you don’t want to do.”
