A Forever Series Box Set: A Paranormal Reverse Harem-(Book 6-10)

“You know I won’t if you ask me not to. But be careful, Liv. He is not to be trusted. You know that, right?” he says reluctantly, and I kiss him sweetly.

“I do know, my special secret-keeper.”

“There are just so many stacking up now, Liv. I’m getting a bit worried about you.”

“I am fine. You don’t have to worry about me. I should go, it’s getting late and Cole will be needing to see

me before I leave tomorrow.”

“Be careful around Sebastian,” he says as I get up to leave.

“Sebastian? Why do you say that?” I ask as I twirl in a circle and end up dressed in sweats and a vest top.

“There is something off about him. I can’t put my finger on it.”

“Look, I know you don’t like him because of what happened in Vegas, but I have forgiven him, and we are moving on. We are friends now,” I say in the hopes of diverting the attention away from this topic of conversation.

“What happened in Vegas?” he asks, confused.

“You know…” I say waving my hand around and he still looks none the wiser.

Oh, crap. He has no idea what I am talking about. I thought the three of them had been awfully good about not saying anything about what they overheard about Sebastian spelling me. I mean, I know I ordered them to keep it to themselves, but there has been no peep of it since. Sebastian has clearly meddled here. But how? He claims he can’t make people forget, but I was never sure of that in the first place and even less so now. And I am surer than ever that he has messed with Devon.

“Liv? What happened in Vegas?” he says, now worried.

I scramble for an answer. “Err, you know, the fight I had with CK and I slapped him and then Sebastian slapped me…”

“And then you flattened him,” he finishes for me. “See, clear proof that you don’t need any of us to look out for you.”

I smile cautiously and he says, “Just watch yourself around him. I don’t trust him.”

“I do,” I say, only half meaning it. “We have developed a relationship. There is nothing for you to worry about.”

“Do I want to know what kind of relationship?”

“Just a friendship. We have some common ground. It’s a good foundation.” That is all I am willing to say, and he drops it.

“Fine, you know what you are doing.” He kisses me for a few minutes then says, “I’m going to stay out for a bit longer.”

“Okay, baby, just don’t be sniffing around Erica, I don’t like to share.” I give him a sassy wink and he laughs.

“So jealous,” he says. “But I like it.” And with that he Shifts and is off without a look back.

Chapter 19

I watch him go and then Astral off to shower and change and then to find the others. I land in the library to various arguments going on, which all stop as they see me. Interesting. I am of half a mind to set up cameras to spy on them when I am not here. See what it is they talk, or argue, about.

My eyes find Cole and I go to him immediately and pull him to me for a kiss, “Hey. Care to share?”

“Hey,” he says back with a small smile. “Enjoy your full moon?” he adds, dodging the question.

“It was interesting. We have a guest in the woods.”

“Oh?” he says, now concerned. “Welcome or unwelcome?”

“Unwelcome at first but now she and her Pack are going to be staying here tonight and tomorrow night.”

“Her Pack?” CK asks and I eventually look at him, thoroughly embarrassed over the gushing I did before. He looks less than impressed that I have my arms around Cole and Sebastian next to him looks furious. Geez. What did I do to piss him off?
