“Magic,” Levi quipped.

“Magic?” Gavin repeated.

“Dean’s made sure that we’re protected. With Lucifer’s help no one can get to us by coming at us physically or electronically. Stryker’s been in the network of our home security and all our businesses,” Levi said.

“Why hasn’t anyone stopped him?”

Levi shrugged. “He’s just watching. Dean trusts him. We figured it didn’t hurt to have an extra pair of eyes. Not if they’re on our side.”

“There isn’t much of a threat to watch out for,” Gavin pointed out.

“The coven and hunters might be gone but that doesn’t mean that no one else will come after us,” Levi said.

“We can’t live in fear,” Gavin told him.

“We’re not. We’re just ensuring the safety of our family.”

“And we trust the masked biker hacker?” Gavin asked.

“We trust him. You want to fuck him,” Levi replied. He smirked before draining half his iced tea.

“I—” Gavin coughed.

“Want to fuck him,” Levi repeated.

“I don’t even know what he looks like.” It wasn’t a denial, but Gavin hoped it worked.

Levi laughed. “You do know that argument doesn’t work with me. I was in love with Mason when all I knew about him was from talking on a dating app.”

“Mason was your mate,” Gavin pointed out.

“Okay, dude.”

“What? It’s true.”

“Noah and Dean have assured us that Stryker’s attractive. Not that I think it matters to you,” Levi teased. “He intrigues you.”

“He’s a little brat that needs to be put over someone’s knee,” Gavin growled.

“Someone’s or yours?”

Gavin’s phone chimed two more times.

“Persistent little thing,” Levi commented.

Gavin picked up his glass. “I’ll teach him patience yet.”

“Yeah, good luck with that.” Levi laughed.

“So, everyone knows?” Gavin asked.

“About your stalker? Yeah.”

“No one has said anything to me.” There was a question in that sentence. Gavin’s family was nosy after all. The boys wouldn’t be behaving unless it had been an order from their alpha.

“I’m not the only one that has noticed the recent increase in rain.”

“I’m fine,” Gavin insisted.
