My Secret, My Bully, My Mates

I didn't yell or scream, just told her how it is, like talking to a toddler who doesn't understand 'no.'

"We need to get ready, Luna Ava will shoot us if we are late." She just stares at me. I drag Cam with me, Kota doesn'tt break contact with me either. I unlock the door, making a point to show her I am wanted and she is not.

I head up the stairs, knowing Oliver will make sure the door is latched behind us so she can't.

"Umm, who are you and what did you do with our timid Little Bit?"

"Same person, just fed up with being called unwanted and a wh*re by her. I really hope she isn't mated to any of you. Her in any ranked position would be a nightmare."

I let go of Cam and head to my room without a backwards glance to any of them, I am really tired. I'm glad Luna Ava insisted on an early dinner for us. I shower again and linger a little longer than necessary, but the jets feel so good. I forgot how spoiled I am here. I find new clothes in my closet and all my bags are here too. I don't know why but I feel the need to have my blades on me, but how to do that and hide them? Luna Ava might freak out.

After a perusal of the new clothes, I found a sweatshirt that would hide my wrist cuffs and still look normal. I stepped

out of my room and almost burst into tears. All my guys are here, waiting for me. I walk right up to my brother and hug him around the waist, then move to Sam and Oliver, who stops me mid-hug, grabs my arms by the wrists behind his back and pulls them forward, looking at me curiously.

"It's a gut instinct to have them on me. I have learned to trust my instincts."

He just nods and lets me go, saying nothing to the rest. I hug both the twins, who take my hands again and we all head down. Jena and Lil are waiting by the door and do not look happy at all. It takes about two seconds to figure out why.

"I love how we all always walk down together. It makes such a grand entrance." She giggles and moves forward, like the leader in a parade.

Lil, Jena and I all roll our eyes.

"At least you laid the groundwork for telling her off."

"You were listening?"

She lowers her voice a bit. "I thought we could slowly move outside on the patio, since there's so many of us and it isn't too cool yet. Lucas and the rest of the old guys are already out there.
