Chapter Seventeen
"Bye, have fun." Ana says as Mason goes out to play for a wedding. It's been two weeks and Mason is already driving. He doesn't have a real license, but good enough for now. Ana then rushes to her phone and calls Magnus. "Hello?" He asks.
"So, tonight we are going?" Ana asks quietly into the phone. Her brother is still asleep on the couch.
"Yes, but I really really think we should tell Mason. If-"
"No, I can't risk him getting hurt. Us two will go and then come back with them. Then I tell him and deal with him." Ana says looking out her room.
"Fine, but if attacks me I'm not holding back." Magnus says in defence.
"He's not going too and don't you dare hurt him." Ana's wolf says.
"You and your werewolf love is not something I want to get into, but I might just use a little magic." He says as blue comes at the top of his fingers.
"That's not going to happen so we don't have to worry. I've got to go before my brother and pregnant friend wake." She says in a rush hearing her brother.
"See you at nine." Magnus says before Ana shoves her phone in her pocket.
"Morning." Theo says walking to the kitchen.
"Good morning." Ana replies walking in after him.
"That Grace friend of yours is due in like a month isn't she?" He says drinking a cup of orange juice.
"Yeah, why?" Ana asks taking a seat at the table.
"I might be able to see the little thing." He says making Ana laugh.
"It's a baby not a thing." Theo just shrugs. They stay in a comfortable silence until they hear Grace screaming at David. Ana raises her eyebrows and Theo chokes on his orange juice. Ana busts out laughing and hears Grace continue to yell David. "You're cleaning that up." Ana says pointing to where Theo spread orange juice.
"She scared the living sh-crap out of me." He corrects at Ana's glare.
"Yeah, well when you have a baby in you, then you can talk." Ana says and walks down to the room that's shaking the house. Ana begins to hear more clearly.
"You said that there was. Why would you lie to me?" She hears Grace then start crying. Poor David tries to go to her, but this makes her angry. "You get way." She says and Ana then opens the door.
"Grace everything ok?" Ana asks even though she knows it's not.
"He said there was tuna last night and now he's saying that he never said that. Can you believe him?" She says sending a glare at him. She then breaks down crying again. David mouths 'Help' and Ana nods with a smile. He practically runs out while Ana puts her arm around Grace.
"Hey, you want some tuna?" She asks in a soft voice.
"No, why would I? It's nasty." She says still crying.
"And guess who knows that, David. He knows that you don't like it and last night he probably said that we did because he wanted you to go to bed and get rest without worrying if we had tuna." Ana says and Grace looks up at her.
"Really?"
"Really."
"Well why did he say he never said that then?" She asks confused.
"He's a man. They forget everything." Ana says and to her relief Grace nods.
"You're right, they are forgetful." She says begins to stand up. Ana helps her all the way up and they walk to the kitchen. Grace kisses David and then hugs him. He hugs her back and looks up at Ana grateful.
"What would he do without the pregnant tammar?" Theo says making Ana laugh.
"Be dead." She replies and they watch as the couple walks out of the living room.
"Hey, don't they have a basement in here?" Theo asks out of the blue.
"Yeah, but Mason says it's full of crap and hasn't been cleaned out." She says staring out the patio window."Why don't you like Mason?" She asks and Theo grumbles.
"Well when we first met that didn't go down so well and he's with you. Not going to be buddy buddy." He says and sends him a look.
"You two can't even be in the same room. Will you just try and be civil with him?" She asks and he looks back at her.
"Fine, but he makes one wrong move-"
"You'll have his head. I know, and he's not going to ok?" Theo nods, but Ana doubts he's going to try.
"Shouldn't you be doing homework or learning?" He says and Ana groans.
"Yeah, yeah." She grumbles and gets up.

Ana finishes her last test and closes her laptop. She lays back in bed moving her notebooks and other school stuff away from her. She sets a timer on her phone to get up a seven just in case and closes her eyes.

"She's asleep in your guyies room." Theo tells Mason as he looks for her in the living room and then the kitchen. Mason nods his head towards Theo and then makes his way to there room. He quietly opens and then closes the door. He sees Ana past out with all her school stuff surrounding her. He holds back a laugh and begins to pick up her stuff. He places it on her desk and then changes into comfortable clothes.
Once he's checked in with David and Grace he goes back to his room and lays down next Ana. Ana doesn't move much as he sinks into the bed. Mason looks up at his mate and just asks himself out he got such a beautiful mate.
♪ ♮ ♫ ♭
Ana wakes up feeling sparks and tingles on her cheek. She doesn't open her eyes, but she lazily pulls Mason down towards her. Mason chuckles. "You need to eat something. It's already almost five."
"I ate lunch and a snake." She grumbles into her pillow.
"Yeah and you need to eat dinner so get up." He says standing up.
"Nnooo." She mumbles turning her head. Mason shakes his head and then flips the covers off of her. She yells something at him, but he didn't understand. He rolls his eyes as Ana doesn't get up. He climbs onto the bed, grabs her, and puts her on his shoulder. She lets out a playful scream and hits his back. "Jerk." She says turning her head at him.
"Because I want my mate to eat and not pass out means I'm a jerk. Yup makes total sense." He says.
Ana rolls her eyes and mumbles "What ever."
Mason lets her down when they get into the kitchen and she hits him before grabbing a plate and putting lasagna on it. "Finally got her up." David says so only he can hear.
"Shut up, I'd like to see you wake up Grace quicker than that."
"Haha, not funny man." David says looking over as Grace, Ana, and Theo are talking about something. You need to keep an eye on Ana. Mason's wolf says as he begins to make his plate.
What are you talking about? He says looking back over at everyone. It may be all happy know, but something's going to happen. I can feel it. His wolf says. Mason walks over to the table and takes the last seat open. Next to David and Theo. Just great he thinks.

"Are you sure you don't want to tell him?" Magnus says as they are leaving the house.
"You ask me that one more time." She says warningly.
"Fine." He says and begins to make a portal. Ana is amazed that one moment she's in the yard and the next she's in a forest. She looks all around and doesn't see any building. She looks up at Magnus and waves her to follow. Ana does and makes sure to keep an eye out for anything.
Magnus leads her through the forest until they can see a run down building with wolves guarding it. "Ok, remember in and out. They can't smell you, but they can still see you." Magnus says as he finishes a spell. Ana makes her way around the building and when there aren't any wolves she bolts to the door.
♪ ♮ ♫ ♭
Mason wakes up because it wolf is non stop talking. "What?" He says as his wolf won't come down. I told you to keep an eye on her and now she's gone. He says aggravated. Mason sits up and looks at the bed. He makes his way through the house following her scent. It leads him outside and then it's just gone.
He runs back into the house and wakes up Theo. "What the-"
"Shut up. Did you see Ana?" He asks rushed.
"No. Why?" Theo says getting up.
"I don't know where she went. She's gone. Her sent just disappears in the yard." Mason says and runs his hands through his hair.
"What do you mean she's gone?" Theo says standing up.
"She's not here." Mason says slowly. Theo's eyes flash before he can control it. Theo then starts his way outside.
"It just vanishes." Theo says after coming back into the house.
"That's what I said." Mason says annoyed. Then David comes out stretching.
"What are you two doing?" He says tiredly.
"Ana's gone." Theo says before Mason.
"Well call that friend of hers. Mack or something like that." He says not looking so tired. Mason quickly grabs his phone and calls Ana's so he can find it. Once he does he finds the name.
"Come on pick up." Mason says going crazy. "He didn't pick up." Mason says looking up at his brother.
"Who is this Mack or whatever?" Theo asks confused.
"Magnus, and a very long and complicated story." Mason says pacing.
"Could he have done something?" Theo says and both Mason and David's head pop up.
"He doesn't pick sides." David says and Mason throws what he had in his hand.
"That son of a b*tch." Mason says and feels his wolf taking over. The three try to come up with an idea of where he could have taken her and don't realize when he walks into the house.
He comes in and stares at the three men all talking at once. "Hello?" He says making all three of them look up at him. Before anything can be said Mason has him pinned against the wall.
"Where is Ana?" Mason's wolf growls out.
"If you would stop trying to kill me I can." Magnus says getting ready to use magic. Mason however doesn't let go until his brother whispers to him.
"Mason get a grip and let him talk. He's the only one that knows where she is." This makes Mason release him, but he stays right by him. Grace comes out confused and David pulls her behind him.
"What did you do with my sister?" Theo says taking a few steps closer to Magnus.
"I didn't do anything to her. She wanted to rescue her family and I helped her, but she got caught somehow and I had to leave before they found out I was there." Magnus says and Grace stares in shock and confusion.
"Take me to her." Both Mason and Theo say.
