Chapter 12

A hand shot out grabbing Lily into a storage closet she was passing. She wanted to yell but the hand clamped over her lips. The familiar scent of the forest calmed her racing nerves.

“what the hell is wrong with you?” She yelled when the hand left her lips. Her eyes blazed with fury as she stared at Jackson.

“i don’t like that guy.” Jackson deadpanned.

Lily stared at him with utter confusion.

“what?”

“the new human following you around.” Jackson spat out.

Lily huffed in exasperation. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. A thought clicked in her

“wait… are you jealous right now.”

Jackson’s eyes widened for a milli second.

“i am not jealous. I’m suspicious of your friend.” He said friend as if it was a slur.

“Jackson, we are mates.” Lily deadpanned

“i just get a bad vibe from him. He seems suspicious.” He said running is hand through his hair.
