Chapter 22 - Killian

Laura sat in the office going through some CCTV footage she had already gone through before, her attention was snatched when a knock on her door was heard. Lifting her gaze from the monitor she was met with officer Bang and another man she had never seen before strolling in behind him. 

"Detective, this man was persistent on seeing you, said he has important info" Bang informed, eyeing the guy that looked like he was in his mid twenties. Just then Faye sashayed her way into my office. 

"Important info?" I questioned. Is this important information about what I think it is? 

"You can go" I waved officer Bang off still eying the young man. He had this mysterious and intense gaze. Like he has been through hell or even worse. The kind of look teenagers have when they feel rebellious. 

He took a seat as Faye did the same, also interested in this man. 

"I'll be quick, I know y'all are looking for what's responsible for the deaths, but the thing is you can't ever, unless you are told" The smirk on his face told me he has more to spill. Faye sat up about to say something but I lifted a finger shushing her. 

"Go on" I urge.

"I can give you their weaknesses, only if you don't ask any questions" He says with his nose in the air like he owned mankind. I internally scowled wanting to smack the kid but of course I refrained.

"Deal" At this point I was desperate, yes I was. People had already started to question my abilities and position because I haven't been able to bag this case. 

"Wolfsbane, wolfsbane is the only thing you can use to bring a werewolf on its knees" 

"And how do I get this wolfsbane?" I questioned leaning further. 

"Oh it's closer than you think" He said laughing hysterically "Maybe you should try buying Aconite flower from a flower shop" He abruptly stood up, almost knocking the seat over. "That's all the information I have" He says almost leaving but I stop him.

"What's your name?" Faye asks why I stopped the Young Man.

"Rodney Pittman" 

"I've been liking the color blue these days" Zayn chimes, shoving the small brush into the nail polish before pulling my legs and placing them on his lap as we sat on his bed. 

"Yea? Is that why you chose blue nail polish?" I ask, watching as his brows furrowed, forehead creased due to the amount of concentration he was putting at properly applying the color on my big toe. 

"Hmm" He hums, I don't even think he heard my question.It was just another day after school where I spent the rest of the day at the pack house. 

"Would you like to meet my parents?" The liquid is smeared on my flesh making Zayn hiss. 

"Angel you gotta be quiet, I'm trying to get something done here" He didn't sound mean or harsh, it was cute how he was so worked up about properly painting my nails. 

"I asked a question Zayn" I wiggled my toes teasingly.

"I give up" He throws his hands in the air, closing up the little bottle. "I'd love to meet your parents Diana, more than anything" He says, rubbing my legs up and down.

"They also can't wait to meet you, especially dad. '' I remember how dad couldn't stop talking about how he wanted to meet 'Zendaya '.

"So do I like to go with a basket of fruits or give them a pack of condoms?" I became a laughing mess at his statement as he picked up the nail polish and continued the task he doesn't seem to let go of until it's done. 

"You don't need to bring anything with you silly" I purposely raise my foot making the nail polish to smear on his jaw. 

My mouth hung open as Zayn stared into space. I could tell he was so done with me.

"I swear to God, if you don't stay still I'm tying you up" He scowls, wiping his jaw off. I smiled, finding him extremely sexy and hot. "Whatcha smiling about you psycho" He pulls my legs making me shrike as my body is pulled to meet he's. 

"Nothing much, just how hot you looked all worked up about painting my toes" I say in a low voice running my index finger down his chest. 

"Yea? And what would you do about it Miss James" The way he used my last name made my insides erupt. 

"Many things actually" I played along enjoying the rising tension. 

"I like the sound of 'many things'" 

"Nah you have to choose just one" I taunt watching his Adam apple bub up and down as he swallows thickly. And of course Noah had to come busting into the room like the house was on fire.

"For the love of pussies!" Zayn shouts, shooting Noah daggers through his eye.

"This isn't the time for your back to back fucking, Jake is gone" Noah informed making my heart skip. What does Jake is gone mean? It could mean a lot of things. One, dead, two left the house, I don't think that's the case because the guy was always out on his red Ferrari exploring everywhere explorable. 

"What do you mean he's gone?" Zayn asks, standing up and walking towards Noah and I do the same.

"We think he went to find Kate, I mean the guy found his mate" Noah says as we all walk together downstairs. Everyone was already in the large sitting room. Charlie pacing back and forth. Cole biting on his nails, something he does when he's worked up. 

"I'm worried that she might do something to him," Olivia says, peering up at Benjamin , concerned all over her face. 

"What? Do something?" Benjamin laughs, like full on laughs. "As much as she's a bad person, Jake wasn't the only one who found his mate, she also did, and she would never do anything to hurt him. Y'all with mates should know" He explains. So the problem wasn't that Kate would do anything to Jake good to hear. 

"What we should be worried about is that Kate is an alpha," Justin says, reminding everyone of the real issue. 

"This has clearly never happened before and it's beyond us, I hate to say that but we have to ask Killian for help" Cole suggests. I didn't know who the hell Killian was for starters. 

"Ohh Killian" Lucas sang eying Cole. Cole rolls his eyes slumping on the couch. 

"Good idea" Zayn speaks up, eyeing Cole with a smirk "I'll call him now" it was obvious that everyone was teasing Cole. Was Killian some kind of lover, sneaky link? I didn't think Cole would be bisexual, but looking at the guy he oozed not straight. 

"It's not what you think Diana is!" Cole yells almost knocking me out my feet with the force he used to approach me. "Killian was my trainer, tried to teach me self-control but I always ran away between training sessions" He laughs. "Never liked the old man" He adds, watching as my expression changes to realization. I was honestly starting to think Killian might be a lover with the way everyone was teasing him. 

Benjamin shaked his head heading to the kitchen with Olivia following behind him with a beaming smile on her face. 

"Jake will be fine don't worry" Justin squeezes my shoulder walking past me to the stairs. 

Zayn comes back inside smiling widely "Cole! Looks like the love of your life would be here in a few days" Cole groans walking past Zayn and out of the house. 

"Now how about we continue from where we left off?" Zayn whispers, lightly biting my lobe. 

"You mean painting my incomplete nails?" I ask feigning innocence. 

"Yeah, Yeah sure let's paint them toes since I seem to have a degree in the art of toe " I let out an ugly sounding laugh following a grumpy Zayn up the stairs. 

"What the hell is toe ?!" I yell laughing loud and hard. 

"My college degree of course!" Zayn runs off making me chase after him.
