She gave them a once over again she had to decide if they were worth her time but they were if they were with Elijah. If Elijah had come to her instead of handling whatever issue they had on his own then it was definitely a big issue. He was a fairly good witch, a witch of the second order and he could handle any trouble or favour regarding humans, except the trouble he was facing now was from another supernatural. Hopefully not a warlock because if then she wouldn't use the help she was going to render to them for her own benefits.

"Follow me." She gestured with her hands. She didn't look back to see if they obeyed. She knew they would, she had scared them indeed. She could hear their footsteps behind her as she climbed the stairs.

Michael hit Adrian's hand subtly when he noticed that he was staring at the woman's ass despite what she had just put them through. "What the hell do you think you're doing." Michael mouthed shooting his brother daggers from his eyes. Adrian shrugged and grinned evilly.

They let her enter the room first and after some seconds followed suit. Elijah was now very hesitant, without his powers he was of no use and there was no telling what Jessica could do to them. There were no limits to her madness. He knew he shouldn't have come to her in the first place but now it was already late. He hoped with all his heart that they did get out of her clutches alive.

She was seated on a chair in the far end of the room and her eyes were closed shut when they entered. The Aura in the room was tense and choking. The men glared at each other no one willing to say anything to her in fact Michael was thinking of running you know, to save the fight for another day.

Elijah shook his head in disappointment. They had thrown him the ball and hung him out to dry with their silence. He didn't even know why he was helping them in the first place. Yes, he owed Adrian one but that one was definitely not worth his life. "We need to get someone out of the McReynolds pack house."

Jessica opened her eyes. "You need my help to find his missing lover or to avenge yours?" She asked opening her eyes. Her eyes met with Elijah's. Michael and Adrian turned to face him when Jessica had asked what he asked. Elijah looked away from them he knew what they were going to think now, that he knowingly sent them out to die to avenge his lover but he didn't and he wouldn't allow any misconceptions about his good intentions.

"It's not about revenge." Elijah objected shaking his head. "It's about doing what's right. You have to save her. I'm not asking that you kill the Alpha I'm asking that you save a pregnant woman. He is too damaged to love her. Too damaged to be with her. She doesn't belong there and she has tried to leave but from what I see she's just about to be cornered, he might kill her to make a point."

"I have no reason to care about the alpha's human mate." Jessica scoffed.

"I love her please you have to save her. I'll do anything you ask of me, anything." Michael pleaded.

"Remember this promise Michael because even though doing this for you is going to cost be nothing, I'm still going to collect and when I do want to, you had better not say no." Jessica nodded at him and then Elijah. Michael shuddered but nodded back. She glanced over at Adrian and he smirked. She ignored him.
