"I just don't want to see you get hurt again, there's nothing I can do when your dad has a go at you, and it makes..." we were cut off from our conversation by my sister and her mate practically running into the sitting room. Arya looked worried while Nick simply wore shock as his main expression.

"Adrian..." Goddess I jumped out of my skin when my sister charged in. Her face showing nothing but panic. "Father found out we've been allowing Nick to visit his dad." Oh shit... that in itself is against the rules. "He's just gone ballistic at me." Arya was clearly shook up, her hands trembled as they clutched onto her mate who simply stood still shook up by whatever had happened.

"Did he do anything to you?" Jana was quick to peel herself off of me and walk over to my sister, gently placing her hand on her arm.

"No... but..." he had obviously taken his anger out on Nick. "He, hit Nick." Yeah, looking at his face you could plainly see the visible remnants of my fathers fist quickly forming on his cheek bone. That would most likely cause his eye to swell too. "Why is it so wrong for Nick to be able to see his family?" I shouldn't have been wrong at all. In fact he should be allowed to see his dad as and when he wished too.

"How did he find out about it?" I strongly doubted that someone would have willingly told father of their meetings. Nick was barely gone for 90 minutes at a time, so the notion that my father would have even been suspicious of his comings and going's are slim, very slim.

"I don't know?!" Arya was squeezing her mates hand tightly while frowning deeply.

"It's only us who know about it... Jana, you didn't tell anyone did you?" As soon as the words left my lips I regretted even asking them. My simple question was taken completely out of context, my mates face quickly morphed into that of pure disgust and anger. She had taken my word as if I had blurted out an accusation.

"Why am I the first person you think about blaming whenever something bad has happened? I haven't told a soul, but you..." she marched over to me and roughly poked my chest with her finger, fresh tears quickly falling down her cheeks. "You never take my side. If you don't want to be my mate then just reject me and go and find a human. Everyone knows you care about them more than me." She angrily wiped her cheek with the back of her hand, before storming out the door.

"Dude..." Nick looked shook up but still called me out on whatever it was I had done wrong. I only asked a simple question, I think Jana blew it well out of proportion.

"Do you actually realize how serious this is? Someone must have told on you, it certainly wasn't me." We we're always arguing about something. Jana just didn't understand that humans needed help, she was clueless to how bad our treatment of them has been.

"But accusing Jana isn't going to help the situation. You need to go after her Adrian, your arguing is getting too frequent." Aria was right of course, about going after her, not about accusing her. I just sighed, Jana would be alright for a few hours, I didn't have time to hold her hand after every single argument, besides right in that second I had to placate my father.

"I'll speak with her later. Right now I need to do damage control, before father really does punish you." I will be the first to admit that I was exhausted, ever since Dylan burnt down that punishment stage, the entire district has been up the wall.

Human discipline in both districts has been drastically increased in an attempt to quell rebellion. Even the school teachers have been speaking out, and Bradley, the principal, has been strangely liberal with everyone. I think maybe the news about the curriculum has swayed a lot of people into accepting the upcoming rebellion.
