Chapter 33
Kim's point of view
It's been a week since Matt, Brady, and Collin phased. Jared has ordered Matt to stay clear of Kayla so he doesn't hurt her. Jared's also slightly worried that Matt will imprint on Kayla. He doesn't want any boy near his sister, even her soul mate. I think it's silly but he's just being protective. I just got done patrolling with all the boys and invited them over for food.
"So what do you guys want?" I ask entering the house.
"Anything. I'm starving!" Collin says and I chuckle.
"Same here." Matt and Brady say.
"Well how about I make sandwiches." I suggest.
"Sounds good." Brady says.
"Where's your brother, sister, and niece?" Matt asks hearing no one else in the room.
"My brother's at some work thing in Seattle and my sister's at a doctor's appointment. Jared's watching Avery but should be over here soon." I say and he nods. I start the food while the boys head into the living room to watch TV.
When I finish the food Jare walks in with Avery, Kayla, and the twins.
"Kimmy!" all the girls yell and rush to me. I hug them all and pick Avery up.
"Hi girls." I say smiling. "Did you have fun with uncle Jarey?" I ask my niece.
"Yep!" she grins.
"How was work?" Jared asks kissing my cheek.
"Fine." I say.
"Kayla?" Matt freezes as he and the other boys walk into the kitchen.
"Matt." Kayla smiles and looks up at him. His eyes lock on hers and I smile knowing that look. Jared starts to shake but I kiss his cheek and he slowly stops.
"Congrats Matt." Collin pats Matt on the back.
"Ya nice job buddy." Brady says while Jared growls.
"You look better." Kayla observes looking over Matt.
"Ya I feel better." he smiles realizing that he imprinted.
"Why haven't you called me?" she asks and he frowns.
"Um guys why don't we head into the living room." I suggest to everyone else. Collin and Brady grab the food and leave with the twins. Jared doesn't make a move to leave so I pull him with me into the living room.
"Why are you letting him be that close to her with no one watching them?" Jared asks.
"Jared he's fine and we'll hear if anything goes wrong." I say and he sighs. He grabs a sandwich and sits on the couch.
"Kimmy who are they?" Avery asks pointing to Brady and Collin.
"Avery this is Collin and Brady. They work with me and Jared." I say and she nods.
"It's nice to meet you Avery. Your aunty always talks about you." Collin says and I smile as does Avery. Brady looks over at Avery and then his eyes widen and his jaw drops. My eyes widen and I start to shake.
"Brady!" I growl. Jared takes Avery from me and Brady slightly cowers. I stalk towards Brady and he whimpers backing into the wall.
"Kim you know I have no control over this." he whines.
"On my two-year old niece!" I hiss. Jared hands Avery to Collin and hurries over to me.
"Kim calm down angel." Jared says pulling me back. He rubs my arms which calms me but I still glare at Brady.
"I'm sorry Brady." I say and he nods. "I won't hurt you but Josh is a different story." I say and he gulps.
"Brady do you want to play dolls?" Avery asks from Collins arms. Brady smiles but then looks at me.
"Go ahead." I say and he smiles. He, Avery, and the twins run upstairs to Avery's room. I sigh and plop onto the couch.
"I thought Brady was a goner." Collin says and I smile.
"He might have been." I say.
"I was right." Jared smiles.
"About what?" I ask.
"You said Josh was going to be the one to flip out about someone imprinting on Avery but I said you would and I was right." he says and I roll me eyes.
"So what do you win?" I raise an eyebrow. He smirks and leans in to kiss me.
"Ewww. PDA guys!" Collin yells covering his eyes. I smile and pull away from Jared. Matt and Kayla come into the room both smiling. Hmm I wonder what they talked about.
"So you two okay?" I ask.
"Yep." Kayla replies happily. Matt looks a little worried and upset but happy.
"Good." I say.
After lunch Jared heads off to patrol leaving me with the kids. I start to clean the kitchen when Kayla comes in.
"Can I help?" she asks and I nod.
"So what'd you and Matt talk about?" I ask.
"He told me that he was sorry that he didn't call me because he was really sick and felt awful. I forgave him and asked if he was any better. He said ya and I asked if he wanted to still go on a date." she says.
"What'd he say?" I ask.
"He said that he couldn't. I asked if it was because of Jared and he said yes. I told him not to be afraid of my brother and not listen to him. So he said okay and we made plans to go out this weekend." she says and I smile.
"That's great!" I say.
"Ya it is." she smiles.
"Did he say anything about his sickness?" I ask.
"He said he had mono." she says and I nod. So he didn't tell her about the secret or imprinting yet, that's good. She should be eased into this not thrown. Jared may not like it but Kayla's going to be apart of this supernatural world. I'm glad she'll have Matt to lean onto. I know learning about all this she's going to freak out. I just hope she'll trust Matt and believe him when he tells her.
Hours later when Katherine and Josh are on their way home and everyone but Brady and Jared have left. Brady's worried about telling Josh and Katherine, I am too. I have no clue how they'll react. Katherine was happy when Jared imprinted on me but this is her two year old daughter we're talking about so she might act differently. And Josh wasn't thrilled when Jared imprinted on me so I know he's not going to be happy a werewolf imprinted on his only daughter.
"We're home." Josh says as he and Katherine walk through the door. Avery, who's in Brady's arms, jumps out of his grasp and runs to her parents.
"Daddy, mommy!" she smiles and hugs their legs.
"Hello darling." Katherine says picking her daughter up. She kisses her head and Avery kisses her.
"Hi baby sister." Avery says to the little bump on her mom.
"Avery it could be a brother." I say.
"No it's a sister." she says and we chuckle.
"Oh Brady it's good to see you."Katherine says noticing Brady. He gulps and gives her a smile.
"It's good to see you too Mrs. Connweller." he says and Katherine looks confused. She's told all the guys to call her Katherine not Mrs. Connweller.
"What are you doing here?" Josh asks and Brady takes a deep breath. Get ready for war Brady.
