Chapter 143 Knox

• After rounding up our group we head over to Manuel’s house. He sounded a little stressed through the link I have to say, though maybe that is because he is worried for his cousin, I don’t know. They are very close the two of them so it would be understandable if he was worried for Gabe. I know I need to be wary how I do this as I do not want to be too full on and intimidating to Lola and scare her or upset Manuel with it being his new mate.
• Lilah is doing her best to keep me calm, she loves Manuel like a brother, and she does not want to see him getting hurt or caught in the middle of all of this and right now that is exactly what he is.
• Manuel opens the door to us, he looks tired, though after a night having just met his mate I would expect nothing less. Though he is only wearing a pair of shorts and I cannot see a new mate mark on his neck, which surprises me. Dan, when he met Indie had marked her as soon as possible, as do most couples, thought I know Manuel had been nervous last night. But still, I had expected him to have marked her by now. This does seem a little odd to me.
