Slamming the car door behind her, she walked up the stairs to the front door. She was ready for bed considering how the day went, the night wasn’t going any better. Andrew and Jack looked into the forest and down the street to make sure they weren't followed. Slowly opening her front door, "Oh. My. God!" Andrew and Jack ran up to her to see the horror her face, turning to look into the house they finally saw what she had walked into. The inside was destroyed. Trinity ran into the house as Andrew and Jack tried to stop her. She walked throughout the house, color draining from her face as she saw the damage. Her books ripped apart, sheets ripped and scatted throughout the house, her couch and chairs ripped apart as stuffing showered the living room, and the rest of her television was smashed on the floor with shards of littered the floor. Trinity collapsed on the floor in defeat.
Jack crouched on the floor beside Trinity, "Who would do this?"
Trinity looked up and wanted to scream, though her voice just sounded defeated, "Who do you think, Jack?"
Andrew sat next to Trinity rubbing her back, "It was Cale."
"My stuff. My house. It's destroyed." Trinity said choking back tears. She felt herself instantly in Andrew’s arms, she let out a soft whine and held onto his shirt.
Jack rose and kicked at the stuffing on the floor, “That man is going to pay with his life. No one hurts my little sister like this and gets away with it.” Pulling out his phone, “I’m going to call Rob and get some back up outside. We need some extra eyes outside.” Jack walked into the kitchen to make the call.
Andrew hugged her close, "You need some sleep babe. The guest room looks better than your room so you will be sleeping in there."
Trinity looked up, "But what about you and Jack?"
Andrew smiled, "We'll be fine kitten." Trinity was about to argue when she heard her brother come out of the kitchen.
Jack smiled, “We will just have a campout out here. Man still. You wanted us to bond and get along right?”
She felt Andrew laugh, “Well I guess so but,” Andrew cut her off with a kiss.
"We will be fine kitten, go get some sleep. Please baby."
She huffed and rose out of Andrew’s arms, "Alright but if anything happens, wake me up okay.” She watched as both men nodded and smiled. She walked down the hall and closed the door behind her.
Jake and Andrew staired at the door and both of them sighed. Andrew rose from the floor and went to the kitchen. Jack followed.
"You think she'll be okay?" Jack questioned.
Andrew shrugged as he opened each cabinet to find a trash bag, "I'm not sure; I think all of this is way too much for one person to handle." He captured the large box of trash bags. Turning to face Jack, “She’s strong though, I’m sure she will make it through. She has both of us to protect her.” Jack smiled at Andrew and nodded.
“You know I’m sorry I was such an ass to you.” Jack followed Andrew out to the living room as the began to fill trash bags full of the broken living room.
Andrew shrugged, “I would do the same thing.” He could count on multiple occasions doing it with his own sister.
Jack laughed, “Still sorry, I can tell that you care about her. Her previous partners cared but once they realized that she was an experiment and had Alien blood they would quickly turn on her.”
Andrew growled, “Well I don’t care about her blood or that she was an experiment. She’s a woman that deserves the best mate and I plan on being that mate.” Andrew saw out of the corner of his eye that Jack had stopped cleaning. He looked up to find Jack smiling.
“That’s why I’m sorry. I can smell the mating bond coming off of you every time she’s around. I wasn’t sure what it was at first, but then I remembered the smell. Although each mating smell is a bit different, it always has the same base smell. I know you won’t hurt her. If you haven’t marked her yet” Jack shrugged, “you care about her and how she feels about the mating bond.”
Andrew smiled, “I do care about her.”
Jack nodded and then continued to clean, “better get back to work or we will never finish this by the time she wakes up.”
Andrew nodded, “We will have to make sure to get things to replace everything tomorrow.”
After hours of cleaning both men collapse on the destroyed couch. Andrew thought as he was sitting on the couch. Maybe he could convince Trinity to let him join the department so he could help with finding this man. He could easily convince his father to let him off of construction jobs for a while due to this having to do with his Mate. He could bet that the next few months were only going to get worse when it came to Trinity’s safety. If Cale was able to get into this house so easily, her safety would be in question every day.
