In Between The Alphas
Chapter 65

Greg was munching on one of the pastries with his left hand while keeping the other one on the steering wheel.

"You're supposed to use both hands while driving," I muttered under my breath and he raised a brow at me through the mirror and deliberately took another bite. "Would you like to take over?"

"If I die then my ghost is going to haunt you forever," I said with a pout.

"If you die then I'm dead as well so there's no haunting for you." He said and I rolled my eyes, "I've been driving for years Charlie calm down."

"How old are you anyways?" I asked and he scoffed.

"I find it insulting that you don't know how old I am."

"Are you going to tell me or not?"

"Is this how we're going to spend the entire ride?" Logan cut in, "With both of you bickering like children?"

"Well I'm still a child," I said with a shrug.

"You're nineteen," he deadpanned, "You're not a child."

"Yes she is," Greg said with a small snicker, "Look how she's sitting in the back all alone. All that's left is a car seat."

"I swear I'm going to kill you once this is over." I growled.

"Stop," Logan said and I stopped the spew of curses that were about to come out, "Both of you are acting like children,"

"No we aren't," we said at the same time and I turned to glare at Greg.

"I just want to know how old he is." I said, "I already know his birthday is in March."

"I'm ages older than you sweetheart," Greg said with a wink and I rolled my eyes, "Your little brain wouldn't be able to comprehend my age."

"Stop teasing her Greg," Logan said although I could see that he was fighting a smile, "He's twenty four."

"You're younger than Logan," I pointed out and he exhaled deeply.

"Don't remind me please."

"I knew I should have found my own way here," Logan mumbled under his breath and Greg and I burst out laughing.

"You love us," I sing songed.

"Unfortunately," he mumbled.

The moment we drove into town my good mood had evaporated and I was left feeling nervous and worried.

"Relax Charlotte," Logan said and I fought the urge to roll my eyes.

"I'm perfectly fine," I said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"You're bouncing your feet," he said and I realized I was so I stopped, "And you've been picking at that nail for the past ten minutes."

I cursed softly and folded my hands neatly on my laps, "That doesn't mean anything," I said, "I'm perfectly fine."

"It's okay to be anxious sometimes," he said softly, "But everything is going to be fine,"

"What if she doesn't help us?" I blurted out suddenly.

"Then we keep looking," he said and let out a deep exhale.

"We're here," Greg said as he pulled the car to a stop and I took in the rundown buildings.

"I remember it now," I said, "But I thought it was a large expanse of land. How did I mix it up?"

"I'm not sure," Greg began, "But it can't possibly be magic."

"Screw you Greg," I said and he laughed.

Although he's an a*s I couldn't help but be thankful for Greg and Logan. They both calmed me down the way they knew how.

I stepped out of the car and Logan intertwined his hand with mine.

"Are you ready for this?" he asked and I nodded, "Let's go talk to a witch."

We passed through that ripple of energy and her house came into view and we followed behind Greg as he walked up the porch and knocked on the door.

"I've been expecting you," I heard that familiar voice say but it didn't stop me from jumping in fright.

She was standing behind us just like the last time and she gave me a smile.

"By all means, go in." the door flew open and I looked at Logan who had an expressionless mask on his face and we stepped in.

The inside of the house was very different from the outside. For one, it had a stair case and it looked like it could fit five apartments in here.

"It's a simple charm," she said as if she could read my thoughts, "I like having a lot of space."

"Thank you for not kicking us out," I said softly and she just smiled.

Her violet eyes zoned in on Logan and I's intertwined hands and her smile grew a bit wider.

"This is very interesting," she said and I couldn't help but furrow my brows so she turned to Logan, "When do you plan to give up that secret or are you going to keep it to yourself forever?"

"I won't be revealing any secrets," was his curt reply so she turned to Greg.

"You know about it too," she clapped her hands in glee, "Well this just got a whole lot more interesting."

"What are we talking about?" I couldn't help but ask and her eyes turned back to me.

"You'll know in due time," she shrugged as she gestured for us to sit, "For once I can't see why you're here."

"We need your help with his beta," I said and both men shot me warning looks which I ignored, "There's something wrong with him and it's not normal."

"What makes you think I would help?"

"Because you told me so," I said and she raised a brow, "Just before I left the last time. You said it to me inside my head."

"You're a very different person from the girl who walked in here the last time," she said, "But you still don't know the things you should."

"I'm working on it."

"I'll help you," she said, "I will be at your pack an hour after you arrive. I have some things I need to take care of first."

"Thank you," I said softly and she gave me a small smile.

We were about to get up when I heard a sound like footsteps coming from the stairs and a little girl appeared.

"Mummy who are these?" she asked and my eyes shot to the witch whose features had softened considerably on seeing the girl.

"They're friends," she said softly, "Now go upstairs I'll be right there."

The little girl frowned but left anyways and she turned back to us.

"She's beautiful," I said and the worry on her face turned into a small smile.

"Thank you Charlotte,"

"Are we going to forget everything once we leave?" I asked and she thought about it for a second before shaking her head.

"I'm choosing to trust that none of you will let that little piece of information slip," she said, "But if you do and any harm comes to my little girl then I will hunt you down and make you regret it for the rest of your life." Logan's hand around mine tightened and he pulled me backwards so he was standing in front of me. The gesture didn't go unnoticed by her and she let out a small chuckle.

"How have you not figured it out yet?" she asked me and I was about to ask what she was talking about when Logan cut in.

"I think we should go," he said and just as he was about to drag me away I paused.

"I forgot to ask," I said, "What's the catch?"

"It's the same as before," she said and I finally understood why she needed an advocate for witches. She wants to protect her daughter, "You're right, that is the reason." "Thank you," I said again and this time I allowed Logan pull me away.
