It had been a week since Jas had arrived at the compound. Sometimes Wulf had to go out with the others but he always contacted her periodically when he was away. She had to agree that she was having a great time. When she felt like it she would paint in the court yard; she had also decided to cook to pay for her keep. Even though she did not consider that work. She loved cooking and baking and it was such a pleasure with these men. They all loved their food, especially Bjarni. He was like a bear; as his name implied, he loved to eat and was grouchy until he got his food. He was so damn handsome that not even the grouchiness detracted from his looks. She had a soft spot for him, if she ever had to have a brother it would have been Bjarni.

She always cooked huge pots of food and the men had all started to take their meals together. It was huge fun at mealtimes. The men would not eat until she ate. Wulf kept on insisting that she did not have to do this, that the Jezebels could clean. He did not want her to tire herself, but she did not want any of those hussies in the kitchen. All the men helped with the clean-up after dinner. They insisted that if she cooked, they cleaned. 

Today she had two huge roasts in the oven. One beef and one lamb. She had noticed that all the men loved their meat. She was also making mash and some peas. As she straightened from checking on the roasts, she felt Wulf’s arms around her waist pulling her towards him. 

“Hey sexy! Miss me?” he whispered nuzzling her neck. 

He could turn her on with just one look. “Mmm.” He turned her around in his arms taking her lips in a passionate kiss. They were still kissing when the others came in.

“Well I thought you were in a hurry because you were hungry for your woman’s food. I didn’t realize it was for your woman.” Ceric was always teasing them.

All the men laughed. Wulf broke off the kiss, she could see the humour in his eyes. “It smells good Angel.” She heard the men grunt in agreement. 

“The food is ready if you would all sit down. Wulf will you help me take these roasts out of the oven and put them onto the table?”

“Yeah.” He moved towards the oven to do her bidding as she handed him her oven gloves.

“Wait, you are going to burn yourself. It’s very hot.”

He raised his brow, it was still strange having someone that worried about him. Yes, his brothers cared for him but it was different. They all sat at the table, except for Burkhart and Celmund as they were both out on a stakeout. Draco cut the meat, serving her first and then everyone else.

As the meal progressed, Jas relaxed, looking around in contentment, this was her best time of the day. She had never had a family but with them she felt like she had one. Suddenly she felt her head start to spin, her heart started racing and she felt clammy.

“Wulf,” she whispered, stretching her hand out to try and touch him, but already her vision was starting to waver.

“Jas? What’s wrong?” He shot out of his chair as soon as he heard his name and had seen how pale she was.

“Paint. Vision,” she whispered.

“Angel, come on. Damn! Get out of my way!” He carried her against his chest towards the courtyard where she kept her painting materials. She had told him that this could happen, and if it did he must just get her to her painting materials and leave her until she was finished.  He could not have imagined how he would feel. She was so helpless like this, anything could happen to her. He could feel her distress; her anxiety. He sat her on her stool in front of a canvas in the courtyard, that she was busy with. 

“Ceric bring me another canvas, hurry,” Wulf asked Ceric as he had followed them.

“Okay Angel, everything is here as you asked,” he whispered standing behind her.

Feeling helpless, he let go of her, he hated to let her go when she was obviously in discomfort. As soon as he stepped back Jas took hold of the charcoal and started drawing on the canvas. He paced behind her every now and again forcing himself not to touch her. It had been two hours already and she was still at it. The men would come and go to check up on her and try to calm him, but he wouldn’t even speak to any of them. They knew he was on the edge of snapping. If she didn’t respond to him soon, there would be a problem. 

If he lost control he could initiate an earthquake or sinkholes, they had to try get her to awake or knock him out. They wouldn’t be able to get close to her in his condition, his focus was all in protecting her. As soon as it started it ended. She sat down lowering her head.

“Angel, come back to me.” He was kneeling in front of her with a worried frown, his hair was standing every which way, as if he had pulled at it a few times.

“Wulf!” Lifting her head she looked at him with a vacant look in her eyes, she could still feel her head was a bit fuzzy and the exhaustion was dragging her under. She just wanted to crawl into bed and sleep.

“Jas, you back?” picking her up, he started towards their room just wanting to hold her and make sure that she was okay.

“Wait! The painting. I want to see It.” He turned around with her again facing the painting. The whole time he had been waiting for her to come back he hadn’t paid attention to what she was painting. Now he stared at what she had produced in shock. It was the building they were staking. She had painted the building. He could see himself and Ceric on the street below and there were three of the Keres MC on the roof of the building. There were two Keres on the road in front of Ceric and himself, but what caught his attention was through the building windows, she had painted bombs on the inside. 

There was also a car parked further down behind the two Keres and through the window of the car she had painted Merdor. “I don’t understand it!” she tiredly stated.

Turning again he took her to their room. “Don’t worry about it, we will figure it out once you have rested.” Wulf laid her on the bed stroking her arm. “Sleep a bit, I will be here, when you wake.”

She was so exhausted, she took his hand and promptly fell asleep. He lay down behind her, spooning her body and lightly running his finger over her hair. He knew that she had these trances but he had never seen one, it was difficult to just stand there while she was distressed. He would have to find a way of stopping her from having them. There had to be a way, after a while he also fell asleep.

Waking up, she lay very still hearing him breathe behind her. He had his arm anchored around her waist. A feeling of calm enfolded her. After her trances she usually found herself agitated, but with Wulf cuddling her, she felt safe and relaxed, ready for another day. She noticed that Wulf must have undressed her, she could feel his naked body behind her. Moving slightly to get up she tried not to wake him but his arm tightened around her, opening his eyes he looked at her. “Angel you’re awake, are you feeling okay?”

He leaned up looking at her with a worried frown. She touched his rough cheek with her fingers. There were shadows under his eyes and he needed a shave. Was this all because of her? “I’m feeling fine now, I am not tired anymore.”

“You gave me a fright yesterday Angel. I don’t like what these visions do to you. I could feel your distress; it was driving me crazy not being able to stop it. I wonder if there is a way of preventing them. I don’t want you to go through that again.”

Wulf had sat up against the head of the bed and dragged her across him as he spoke, hugging her close. “Something was different though. I must tell you before I forget. All the other times I’m completely oblivious to what I’m drawing, but yesterday it was like I was there watching everything.” She was looking up at him while tracing a finger over his chest.

“You were all there, but it was an ambush. Some connection of yours had set it up, but he was in the car with someone else waiting for all of you to be there, before they set off the bombs. You were in front with Ceric. The others were all around the building.” She looked at Wulf to see if he was taking her seriously. He didn’t have much of an expression on his face.

“Wulf. You must believe me; the bombs went off. You were there.” Her eyes filled with tears as she remembered, she needed him to believe her.

‘Hey, hey. Don’t cry. I believe you. We will work it out, we need to tell the others everything so we can work this to our advantage.” Wulf stroked her hair, leaning down he tenderly kissed her lips trying to calm her.

“You don’t understand. You can’t go anywhere near that building. I have tried before to change what I see, but I have never been able to.” She was cupping his face, willing him to do her bidding

“Don’t worry Angel, you yourself said the vision was different this time. We now know that we have a rat. We will be safe, you won’t lose me like that.” He kissed her passionately, lifting his hand he fondled her breast, teasing her nipple until it was as hard as a pebble.

“Wulf!” she kissed him on the neck and then lowered herself onto his chest, following the path until she reached his cock.

“Jas … You make me forget everything.” He was breathing heavily in anticipation. Kissing him lightly, experimenting, she took hold of his sac and squeezed ever so lightly. He moaned, moving his hips up towards her. She held him with the other hand and took him into her mouth suckling, kissing until Wulf thought he was about to burst.

“Jas, fuck … Now!” He grabbed her arms bringing her up to straddle him. Bringing his hand between their bodies he felt to see if she was ready. As soon as his finger penetrated her body he groaned. She was so hot. He guided himself into her, plunging into her depths until he was fully sated. He held her still to regain some control, but she wasn’t cooperating; she was just as out of control as he was.

“Jas, sit still. I’m going to lose control.” He started to move inside her but she was already cresting, tightening around him.

“Wulf! Oh … Wulf!” she screamed. Her reaction drove him over the edge.

Wulf was coming so hard, on and on. They were both breathing heavily, she was dropping her head onto his chest, trying to catch her breath. “You shouldn’t worry about the building Angel. You will kill me long before then.” Wulf chuckled, feeling her shake against him as she giggled.

“You think that’s funny!” he said with a groan. He lifted her and tossed her on her back, straddling her and tickling. She was laughing so hard they didn’t hear the first knock on the door. The knock came again, harder this time.

“Come on, you must be joking.” Wulf jumped up and stalked to the door. Yanking the door open, he stepped out, completely naked, before anyone could look in, and closed the door behind him.

“What?” he growled.

Brandr stared at a naked Wulf. “Did you forget we need to be at the building in half an hour?”

“I need to speak to Draco first about Jas’s vision; it changes everything, I’m going to get dressed. Ask Draco to call everyone in. We need to meet.”

“Are you sure about this? You know everyone wants Merdor.” Brandr was undecided about this, but he trusted Wulf.

“Trust me Brandr.” Brandr nodded and started to turn to leave.

“By the way, I sleep right next door. Try keeping it down okay. It’s a bit unfair to all of us without women. Oh, and maybe take a shower before we meet.” He winked at Wulf as he started walking away.

“Piss off!” Wulf growled good naturedly giving him the middle finger.

They were all sitting in the computer room. Jas had just told everyone what she had seen, all the details. Cassius was pacing up and down. “Son of a bitch!” he snapped and punched the wall by the door. Wulf jumped up from the chair he was sitting on and stood before Jas, growling, he would not allow any danger near her.

“Cassius. Outside now!” Draco seized Cassius by his arm and dragged him out of the room. Wulf was breathing hard in a fighting mood. Jas got close to his back and brought her arms around his waist, rubbing her face against his back.

Everyone was looking at them. Turning, he took hold of her arm leading her towards the chair that he had been sitting on. He sat down pulling her down onto his lap. “Sorry about that Angel.” She laid her head on his shoulder kissing his neck.

“Don’t worry about me. I won’t break.” She felt him tense just as the door opened, Draco and Cassius walked in.

“I’m sorry about any disrespect, I was angry.” She felt so sorry for the turmoil she could see in Cassius eyes, she tried to get up to go and give him a comforting hug, but Wulf wouldn’t let her up.

Wulf extended his right arm, clasping Cassius’s one, he nodded. Only then did she realize that Cassius had been apologising to Wulf for disrespecting her, not directly to her. She could see the pain in Cassius eyes. She was curious to know what had happened between him and Merdor to affect him like this. Once they had left the computer room she had to remember to ask Wulf to tell her what happened between Merdor and Cassius, to put that pain in his eyes. She had come to realise that these men would die for each other, they had a bond between them that she had never seen before. Even when one of them got angry like Cassius did, she knew he would never hurt her, they had all accepted her and taken her in like one of them. After feeling empty and lonely for so long she now had a family.

“I’m so sorry for all the pain you have to go through because of this.” Cassius nodded at her comment and went to sit on the far side of the room. The computer room was something out of a hacker’s dream. There was a large screen on one side of the wall, and a few smaller screens on the opposite wall running different news channels always. Various computers and various types of other hardware taking up most of the space. There was a huge table in the centre, where they were all sitting now looking at photos of the building, that Jas had confirmed was the same that she had seen in her vision.

“Here are some shots of different Keres MC who have entered the warehouse while we have been staking it out.  Anyone know any of them?”

Draco was placing a row of images on the table as he spoke. There was one image that caught her attention. “That one. He was the one in the car. It felt like he was the leader.” She had recognized the face. She was so happy to be able to help in even a small way. Since her vision, she had been praying that what she had seen wouldn’t come to pass.

Every time she had tried to change a vision she had failed, so this really frightened her. “Are you sure that was the one man?” Draco asked.

“Yes, I saw him clearly. He felt so evil I wouldn’t mistake that one.” Wulf was stroking her neck. He could hear her heart beating frantically in fear. He tried to calm her, he didn’t like her being afraid. Didn’t she realise he would always protect her.

“Calm yourself Angel, Draco believes you, he just needs to make sure.” Wulf shot Draco a deadly look, clearly telling him to back off. The meeting continued in a similar vein; more photos being displayed but she only recognised another two from her vision. As they laid out the building plans and planned how to go about breaching the building, she stopped paying attention and was looking at one of the TV screens with the news, when she saw another face she recognised.

“There, there. That’s the other man that was in the car.” She was practically jumping on Wulf’s lap, pointing at the screen. All the men looked at the screen, there were different reactions around the table, but mostly anger.

“Are you saying that’s the man in the car with Merdor?” Draco questioned.

All the men knew special agent Jack Finn. He worked for the FBI and sent them a lot of Intel that they had worked off before. He had also tipped them off about this building, so it made sense that it was him. They had a few agents and police that they paid for information. They were always very careful, even when meeting with agents, never letting them into the compound and that now seemed very wise. They had always made a habit of meeting contacts away from the compound and only the Jezebels and brothers were allowed in the compound.

“I’m going to kill the bastard.” That from Caelius. This was a surprise to Jas, as Caelius was the peacemaker in the group. From what Wulf had said to her there was nothing Caelius couldn’t fly. Caelius was the silent type. He didn’t talk much but when he did everyone listened.

“Okay, let’s not get carried away. We need to draw Merdor out, maybe we can even use our friend Jack to fish him out.” Even though Draco was talking calmly there was a glint in his eye that betrayed his emotions.

“If that’s all you need from me? I would like to go start dinner,” Jas enquired.

Draco nodded. Wulf kissed her nape and helped her up. “If you need help, ask one of the Jezebels?”

She caressed his cheek. “No, it’s fine. Thank you.”

About to walk out the door, Draco stepped in front of her, immediately Wulf was next to her. “I speak for all of us here Jas. Thank you for everything you have been doing for us. I’m not even going to say how good your food is. I think all of us have put on a few pounds.” This was so unexpected she didn’t know what to say. Her eyes glazed with tears.

“Thank you, you all like family to me, I just want to contribute.” A tear slipped down her cheek. Most of them looked horrified by her tears. “I’m very happy that you all like my food.”

Opening the door, she rushed out before she disgraced herself by sobbing. She was walking towards the kitchen. “Jas, you okay?” Wulf was right behind her with a worried look on his face. She turned to face him with the brightest smile he had ever seen; it made his heart skip a beat.

“I’m more than okay, for the first time in my life I feel at home, and I feel worthy.” Wulf was speechless, he had never thought that she might not feel at home here.

“Woman, you are very worthy. If anyone ever says differently they will have to answer to me!” he said gruffly making a fierce face as he half teased her.

She Giggled “I’m sure that you would.”

She got up on her tiptoes and planted a fierce kiss on his lips. “Thank you,” she whispered and was about to turn away, when he brought her close again and kissed her breathless. They had been kissing for a little while when Wulf broke off the kiss, just as someone cleared his throat behind him.

“Would you like to join us again, Wulf? Or do you need a few more minutes to compose yourself?” Ceric quipped.

Jas was so flustered she hid her face on Wulf’s chest, trying to regain her breath. “Fuck off! I’m coming.” They heard Ceric chuckle as he returned to the meeting.

“How would you like to go for a ride after dinner?” Wulf wanted to get her away just to himself where there would be no interruptions.

“Yes please”.  He smiled at her enthusiasm as she was practically clapping, he nodded once then turned and was gone. She hadn’t been outside since she had arrived here. Wulf kept on putting it off saying how dangerous it was. She was so excited; she’d better hurry with dinner. The sooner they ate the sooner they would be able to go out.
