My Secret, My Bully, My Mates

My heart actually hurts. There is pain everywhere. My ribs feel like they are contracting in on themselves. "Midge, inhale, exhale. Good." Lil brings me back from my stomach dropping tunnel vision. "Look at them."

"I am." I grit out, we are still walking forward, but stick to the outside edge of the group that approaches our pack leaders.

I notice Sam, Oliver and Mateo off to the side too. "They're never all here. What the hell is going on?" I whisper to Lil, momentarily forgetting that I should mindlink my asshole thoughts.

***"None of them want to be here. Look at your Alpha, if he balls his fists any tighter, his claws are going to go through his hand. And Kaley may be in between your twins, but every time she moves to touch them they shift so she misses. This is not them, remember that. Whatever they say, whatever they do, it's not their choice."***

***"How did you see all of that?"***

***"Because I'm not in the middle of that love quadrangle. They know you're here. She knows you're here. Don't let her see you're affected. She will get what's coming to her and it will be as public as we can make it. You are here to do a job, that's what she needs to see. Keep everyone safe and just go through the motions."*** Lil's menacing tone is dangerous. She's a little dark at the best of times, but for me and Jena, her protective streak is through the roof.

"The Alphas and future Alphas have been occupied with the protection and security of our pack and have been noticeably absent from training. They would like to see what we have been working on and the progress the Elite Warriors have made with you all. They may even join in as a treat." Delta Kyle finishes his explanation.

Lil and I look at each other and roll our eyes., but don't say anything as we move to a training circle to begin warm-ups, again staying as far away from the watchful eyes of my enemy as possible. What I do feel are two pairs of eyes drilling holes into the back of my head.

****Is it bad of me to wish that you would have seen Oliver right now and had that epic moment right here in front of them? The way Jena described it, everyone needed a cold shower after."***
