My Secret, My Bully, My Mates

They don't need to ask, we all felt it. Alpha Lucas is gone. The new Alpha bond formed immediately.

"What needed to be done." Gamma Brett said. "You know magic was being used against us, through the Alpha. He and Ava made a decision and it's the right one, to save us all." He's holding Ava tightly to his chest while she silently cries. I can't even call her 'Luna' in my mind anymore. "Skylar, how are you, honey? That was a lot for your young shoulders to bear."

"Because he asked me to." I sniffle.

"It was the only way to break the spell without also killing Ava, he chose to die willingly for her, the two of you and the pack. Kevin's not as smart as he thinks and he didn't curse all of us. Once the Alpha figured that out it was just finding the means for him to sacrifice himself, while also making sure you guys could survive.

It backfired and hurt Lucas enough, that even in her weakened state, Skylar was able to help him pass, painlessly, to the Moon Goddess and transfer pack control."
