The Wolfs Maine - By Jinni James Page 0,62

would have to consume.

Blood was the only thing that would help keep her in a healthy state. Without it, she would become extremely thirsty and eventually die a very slow and awful death. He explained the best ways for her to hide what she is from everyone like covering up and maybe wearing contacts if she did go out. Once they were done talking, they went on to training. She had to learn how to drink from humans without killing them. Jaci was not thrilled with this part of the day. Daniel had to show her how to control someone’s mind to make them keep still while she fed from them. At first, Jaci was upset about the discomfort this would cause the people she would feed from until Daniel explained that once she bites someone she can control their mind to make them feel pleasure instead of pain.

I have to admit I am a little jealous of this whole mind control thing. How easy would life be if you could just control minds? Although Daniel warned that it is not good to just go around trying to control anyone and everyone she wanted to. Last but not least, Daniel tried to give her a lesson on fighting. He did say that her instincts would usually take over, but she still needed basic information. I remember when Nicholas first broke through the window in the house in Maine. I knew nothing about fighting before, but my instincts certainly took over. Somehow, I knew exactly what I was doing. I am sure it would be the same for Jaci. Now that the day was pretty much over, everyone was sitting around the living room talking. Andrew and Lena were sitting on one side of the couch while Daniel and Jaci were on the other. Victor was sitting next to the fireplace on his phone, and I was sitting in the middle of the couch in between everyone. It was nice sitting with everyone, but I still missed John. A piece of me felt missing, and I knew I would not feel whole again until he was back safe and in my arms.

"Hello. Earth to Ava." I jump to see Jaci running her hand up and down in front of my face.

"Yes?"

"Where were you? Daniel was just talking to you, and you are off who knows where."

"Oh. I am sorry. What were you saying, Daniel?"

"Oh, it was nothing. I was just asking how long you have known John."

"Seems like I have known him all my life, but in reality, I have only known him in person for a couple months, but I have been talking to him online for about a year. How do you and John know each other?"

Daniel smiled as if recalling a memory. "John and I go way back. We were business partners once years ago. He made me a rich man, although not quite as rich as him, and I bowed out and went out on my own."

"Interesting. What made you go to Alabama of all places?" Daniel let out another laugh.

"You act like that is a horrible place, but really it is very nice there. It is quiet and not as busy. There is potential there. I do miss Maine. I have considered buying another house here and commuting back and forth." Jaci's face started to light up like a Christmas tree.

"That would be an awesome idea, Daniel." He smiled at Jaci.

"I think so as well." Curiosity was getting the better of me.

"So Daniel, you and John were partners at one point. What did you two do?"

"We owned almost every nightclub in Portland. We did very well, and I believe John still owns most of them; however, he has passed the main jobs off on other managers and what not."

"Oh. Wow. That's interesting." John and I still have a lot to learn about one other. I had no idea he owned nightclubs in Portland. I can see where there would be a good amount of money in something like that though given how Jaci, Lena, and I used to go out all the time back in the days before Nicholas.

Now that I think about it, I wonder why I have not heard from John yet. I have not heard from him all day, and I don't know if that is a good thing or bad. My gut was telling me it was bad. Suddenly, anxiety starts flowing through my body. What if they caught up to Nicholas,
