My Secret, My Bully, My Mates

"Are you seriously asking me that right now? Like a real question?" "Sure, what do you think?"

"That you're insane. From what everyone says, you have been beast moding it out of necessity since forever. You didn't have to get stronger, that's what you chose. Many people in that situation would have caved into the depression and wasted away. Not you, Midge. You just keep blowing everyone out of the water. That's the kind of competition you are to Kaley. You are hot and strong and can defend yourself. You aren't waiting to be saved. But, you are also a good leader, you listen and try your best to help. All things I don't think she is even capable of."

I think that is the most words I have heard out of his mouth, ever, that didn't have to do with programming or surveillance. And I am speechless.

"That's new. I don't think you've ever not had a come back or answer to something. It's all true though. You walked into this pack, covered in blood, fresh from a fight, after disappearing.." He gives me a look. "I do want that whole story, by the way. And just started giving orders like you weren't gone for two years and you own the place. Even your Alpha and Luna just took direction from you. That's impressive."

I rolled my eyes again, and then deflected. "When are you done? I want to show this to Elena and Gentry and see what they think about this and the pentagram, cause I have a feeling we don't stand a chance against Mike, let alone the Rogue King, with that thing actively working against us."

"Lil is on next, then Jena. I don't trust anyone but us in here right now. So it's just the four of us running overwatch." I nod my head in agreement.

"Did you check this office for secret little bundles of herbs?" I smiled at him.

"Of course I did. There wasn't anything here and that makes me think that whoever is setting them is very limited in their thinking. They didn't target the Luna, only the Alpha, probably assuming that he would control everyone. All these little things are to try and control you, but no one is coming after you directly, not yet anyway."

"I guess I never really thought of that. But why would they want to control me? I'm nobody to most people here."

"I really want to hit you right now, but I like having all of my teeth."
