Erik's POV

Evelyn sighed and brushed a piece of hair behind her ear. "Excuse me." She said getting up from her seat and heading to the hall. "Lucian! Leave the poor boy alone."

I sighed. Figures I start to have a conversation with an interesting individual and those kids ruin it. I leaned back in my chair trying to relax my temper when a cheerful Charles walked into the room. "Morning Erik! Did you sleep well?"

Sometimes i wonder if Charles just spoke allowed for formalities. He could read minds after all. "Yes I did actually. You have a nice home."

He shrugged and sat across from me. "It's more Evs' home than mine. I only live here on occasion."

I nodded in response and did my best not to let my mind wonder to the young blonde woman. Charles chuckled at me and gave me this knowing look. "Get out of my head Charles." I mumbled getting up for a cup of coffee.

"I wasn't going to say anything. To be honest your mind is the most respectful when it comes to my sister." He grinned. "High school was hell. Adolescent boys are awful."

"So where does that place Alex and Sean?" I said diverting the attention from myself.

Charles groaned and placed his head on the counter. "Don't get me started on those to. Between their thoughts about Raven and now Evs. I may just have to convince them they're gay."

That caused me to laugh. "Can you do that?"

"I can sure as hell try." Charles muttered.

Evelyn entered the room followed by her other two massive wolves. "Seriously boys are dumb." She said making her way to Charles, and patting him on the head adoringly. "You hungry Charlie?"

Charles sat up a bit and nodded. "Yes, and could you make some tea?"

I noticed Evelyn wrinkle her nose at that, but she nodded in agreement anyways. "Yes, but you do know us Americans drink coffee right?"

He only chuckled at his sister and nodded. "I know but I like tea better."

Raven, Hank, Alex and Sean entered the room then. "Did someone say food?" Alex asked sitting at the table.

Evelyn sighed and looked at them. "I guess I can make pancakes."

Raven grinned at her. "I'll help." She then eyed me oddly. "Do you want food magneto?"

"Evelyn and I already ate, but thank you Raven." I told the young shifter. She seemed to deflate at that for some reason.

Evelyn patted her shoulder. "Come on Raves, let feed this pack of animals." She said before starting her work on breakfast.

Charles looked to his sister curiously. As if puzzled by something he didn't understand, and then she laughed. "You can stop trying to get in my head Charles. It wont work, unless I want you to hear something." I found that interesting.

"What do you mean?" I asked her, wanting to know if it was something I could learn. Deflecting a telepath could come in handy. Charles just shot me a look at that one. He was way to damn nosy.

Evelyn grinned knowingly. "My ability is all about using my mind to create. So I created rooms in my mind to keep out unwanted people." She said glaring at her brother.

I only smiled at that. "Serves him right."

"Hey!" Charles said irritated.

Everyone in the room laughed at that.
