My Secret, My Bully, My Mates

***"We're here. You have a full circle. Nathaniel has eyes on the car Kaley came in. Some of your guys were able to flatten the tires. She isn't going anywhere unless she wants to get dirty."*** Lil gives me the basics, she knows I need to focus, but knowing we aren't alone helps calm my nerves.

Kevin lifts his head up. "I did everything you said to do. It took years to make that spell work." He wheezes out. She changed the ingredients or incantation and it didn't hold the way you said it would. You were never going to give us this pack anyway were you?" He asks and I can see his brain working. They made a deal to help get me and secure the twins for Kaley, but Mike had no intention of leaving my pack unharmed, more than likely including them. It was probably easy for him or one of his people to convince them to do the hard work of setting up the spell with the promise of power and the form of the future Alphas, knowing he was going to kill everyone anyway. It was a deal easily made.

"Of course I changed the ingredients and the spell! I needed them to be mine, but one of you f*cked the whole thing up!" When is she going to ever learn to take responsibility? Who am I kidding, that has never been her thing and it never will be.

"Who gave you a different spell?" I find myself asking. If there is another player, I want to know, but I am also genuinely curious.

"Adrielle said if I added a couple lines to the spell at each of the plant thingies, then it would be stronger for me." I think this is the first time she has addressed me and not insulted me. "But the guys I had do it must have done something wrong. You weren't supposed to be here anyway."

***"If it really was Adrielle that gave her the things to change the pentagram, something else is going on. She didn't want KAley to have the twins. Or something else."***

***"Maybe she thought you wouldn't survive the things you went through breaking the spells."*** Cam muses.

***"It might not have been Adrielle, but someone like Gentry and I that wanted to stop her."***

***"Elena! Are you close? Is the fire breaking the spell on these rogues?"***
