Fates Hands by Lori Ameling

Chapter 78

Chapter 13–Book 2

Sheriff Avery was livid, how dare that asshole go chasing after that girl at a time like this. FBI was in the

neighborhood and Avery could tell that this wasn’t some young inexperienced idiot that they usually

send.

No, this guy knows what he is doing and knows how to see things as well as get information. God only

knows what those people in town told him. Avery made note of every last one he recognized and

planned to pay them all a little visit when this blows over.

Right now though he was going to have to get to his house and start getting rid of some evidence.

Tonight he is going to have a bonfire. If he can’t find that moron James, then he is going to have to get

rid of Kathy, she knows way too much.

If they got her to talk, she could tell them almost everything, including where the b*dy parts are hidden

and the money.

Nope afraid dear old Kathy was going to meet up with an accident. Not that anyone would be surprised

about it, she has had several drunken accidents that landed her in the ER.

As far as Kathy’s daughter is concerned Avery didn’t think she would care too much either, that girl was

not a fool, though she didn’t know the exact details of all the things going on. She would have had to be

blind to not know something.

Avery suspected that James could keep her on a leash though. If not well there is always room for one

more in the pile.

Nova and Brutus were coming to a clearing, it was a small clearing it was also surrounded by a fence,

on the opposite side was a small building with double doors, the doors were locked.

Brutus stopped and lay down, a signal for her to get off. She stood up a little sore from ridding Brutus

for two hours in the dark and from the other activities. It was just starting to get light, though the sun

wasn’t above the horizon yet.

Before she knew it she was looking at a very n*ked Jack, she couldn’t help it he was gorgeous. He

gave her a smirk when he caught her looking.

“You can look all you want my goddess, it is all yours.” 4

He walked behind her and took his clothes and boots out of her

backpack. Half dressed he unlocked the storage house. Where he hid that key was anyone’s guess,

Nova thought with a smile.

With both doors open he lit an oil lamp. There before her was a motorcycle. In the corner was a little

covered trailer, Jack walked over to it and pulled it to the bike, and hooked it on. He opened the trailer

and motioned to Nova he took her pack off and put it in the trailer.

There now we get the hell out of here before Nova knew it she had on a black leather jacket that was

way too big for her, it smelled like Jack it made her feel protected and warm. She was riding on the bike

behind Jack holding on tight. It was kinda freeing Nova thought that she could get used to this.

They traveled a dirt road for a little

while till they came upon a two-lane highway and were off at a higher rate of speed

Once they were going pretty good, jack put one of his hands over both of hers where they were

wrapped around him. She fell asleep lulled by his scent and warmth, feeling the air moving around her

face and the freedom it was bringing.

Jack smiled to himself, this was perfection. He found his soul mate and was taking her to his clan. He

knew that there was trouble coming their way, but a clan of bears is not something you mess with

lightly.

He couldn’t wait to show her off, he knew though it was all going to be a little overwhelming at first. He

would be with her every step of the way. If worse came to worse then he was going to take her to

Duncan’s pack for

a little bit, while he goes and does some d*rty work.

There was no way that he was going to let Nova be close to any kind of danger ever again. He would

go with her to the police or he could contact a guy in the FBI he knew. He would see that Nova got her

justice. E

James came upon a clearing, the scent was strong here and he could also smell the faint scent of S*x.

He couldn’t tell though if it was Nova’s or another it was just too faint to tell.

He could smell the male a lot stronger than the female, he knew enough that Nova had to have been

here he just couldn’t tell who else. Even though the scents were mixed quite a bit, it just wasn’t enough

to tell with all the rain that had fallen.

He followed only one scent going out of camp though, it was just one Grizzly bear. What the hell? How

was that possible? Was he carrying them or did he eat them? He decided to follow the trail, cautiously.

Jack pulled up to the Clan’s main house and noticed that there was a car there he didn’t recognize.

Who is visiting us now? he thought with a sigh. He wanted Nova in his room enjoying a warm bed and

some good food before, she had to start meeting the Clan.

Nova woke up as he was coming to a stop, He steadied the bike so she could get off, he could tell she

was going to need a nice hot bath to get rid of some of that stiffness.

They were just about to go inside

when his second, Sam came out to him.

“We have a visitor Jack from the FBI his name is Agent David Whitmore and he said that he knew you.

He said he needs some help getting some solid evidence. He won’t say anything more till you got

back.” (2

“Jack looked surprised, now that was serendipity if it ever was.”

Jack told Sam to put him in the main living room and get him something to eat, while he took Nova up

to his room. Send up some hot food to my room.

“Once I have my Mate settled, I will talk with him.”

Sam’s eyes widened at that declaration. He was grinning from ear to ear and took off to take care of

everything.

Sam’s eyes widened at that declaration. He was grinning from ear to ear and took off to take care of

everything.

Turning to Nova. “Now my Goddess we get you settled, bathed, fed, and into my nice warm bed. You

are almost dead on your feet.”

At this point, she didn’t care if she had anything but the bed. He picked her up and carried her to his

room.

Nova looked around it was a nice cozy simple room, it was log cabin style of furniture with some natural

light and forest view from the big bow windows. She gave out a sigh she finally felt completely safe.

He set her down and went to get her the best hot bath she was ever going to have.

She was already taking off her clothes

when he came to get her. He took her hand and led her into the bathroom, it was a huge room. It had

and walking shower with all kinds of showerheads. The main attraction for her though was the giant

clawfoot bathtub. 2

She almost squealed in delight at the sight of the steam and bubbles waiting for her. It smelled like

heaven. She couldn’t wait she took off the rest of her clothes and got into the tub with a sigh of

pleasure.

“I put some eucalyptus oil in the water to help with your sore muscles. I hope it is alright.”

“Alright? Jack this is heaven. I felt so d*rty in the same clothes for days even with the swims in the river

and pool I still need hot water. Oh, my

god Jack I always wanted a bathtub – like this one.”

Jack heard a knock at the door, it was one of the helpers from the kitchen she had a tray loaded with

just about anything and everything. Along with two steaming bowls of beef stew. There was a freshly

baked loaf of bread with jam and honey.

He went to his closet and pulled out his robe for her to wear when she gets out of the tub. He set out

the food on his coffee table in front of the overstuffed sofa. She was in there for almost forty-five

minutes.

She looked radiant though he could still see she was still exhausted. He patted the space next to him

on the sofa. She noticed the food and her eyes got really big.

“Wow is all this for me? I have never seen so much food, it smells delicious.” Just then her stomach

made out a growl and they both

laughed.

She sat down next to him he looked at her for a moment and then decided he wanted her on his lap

instead. Once he had her settled he began to feed her, this was a strange feeling for her, still, it’s

another thing she could get used to.

When he fed her the fresh bread with honey on it some of the honey dripped down the front of the robe

onto her skin between her breasts, he opened the robe and licked it up to her l*ps, giving her a finishing

k*ss.

She rested her head on his shoulder till finally she couldn’t eat anymore and was starting to fall asleep.

Jack carried her to his bed and settled her in its warmth.

“I will be back in a little bit my goddess, I have a visitor I need to see before I can join you.”

in its warmth.

“I will be back in a little bit my goddess, I have a visitor I need to see before I can join you.”

With that he was out the door she could hear his boots on the stairs as he went down. It wasn’t much

after that that she was asleep.
