My Secret, My Bully, My Mates

"Well it took you weeks to heal and you returning to health was everyone's main priority and then we were all told to leave you alone and let you focus on training. Everyone was really worried about you and your safety. I was actually surprised that the Alpha King let you go to school and train."

"I see it differently. No one wanted me to train, but they also didn't want to 'waste my skill." I rolled my eyes. "Just because I was too young to do the full training. So the obvious choice was the hybrid thing, that no one else does, which brought even more attention, negatively, to me. Audrina saw fit to spread rumors that I slept my way into the training program and even went so far as to try and haze me out on my first day. That was super fun. Then it got more weird when I started attending functions at the castle, again something no other warrior does, inciting more rumors both in the castle and on the training compound. No one knew I was related to Alpha Reggie, so some of the rumors I heard were a little gross.

Things need to be kept from me because it's assumed that I might be triggered, but no one thinks to ask if I want to know and everything comes back to me dealing with it anyway. Oh and to top it all off I am related to the royal family and have special abilities, but no one can really explain them because I have multiple, again unlike anyone else before me. It's like a bad pattern. Like I told the guys, I know you all mean well, and it's coming from a place of love, but at some point I really do want a say in what I am going to do with my life. Do you

and pressing so hard into my eyes I see colors behind my eyelids. It's the first time I have said any o these things out loud before. All my worries, all the jumbled thoughts
