My Secret, My Bully, My Mates (skylar) by Miss l Free novel Chapter 253

Chapter 0253

I have a little more insight into why I was brought here later than everyone and why I don't have the warrior brand though. I wonder if it's less to do with my age than these grumpy old men that want to feel like they have some semblance of power now that they are no longer Alpha’s running packs. I pack that away to ask about later.

" Xander, there you are, I have been looking everywhere for you. You owe me adance. Another blonde slides up next to us and Xander rolls his eyes and looks between the woman and Bastian.

This was the plan, to get me away from Xander to give her a chance to snatch him up. I almost have to laugh, they are not subtle about this at all. I expected more covert attempts, but they are not even trying to hide the fact that no one here wants me anywhere near Xander.

Before he can get too angry, I place my hand on Xnader’s chest"

It's okay, why don't you call Oscar and he can escort me outside while you entertain blondie’s delusion that she can maintain your attention for an entire dance.” I say low, but still loud enough for all present to hear and then wink at Xander.

A smile breaks across his face before he laughs. I can see blondie is not happy about my comment, but she’s also not

dumb enough to say anything in front of me either. I remember her from some of the meetings today and if she was paying any attention, she knows I'm not stupid and can verbally spar with the best of them.

" Anything for you Midge. I'm giving you ten minutes, then Oscar is going to bring you right back to me, okay?” He touches the underside of my chin and lifts my eyes to his.

The intimate gesture is not missed by the other two.

Oscar saunters up, he really is a beautiful man. He smiles at Xander and then at me"

I hear I'm needed to babysit, because you for sure don't need protection.” The three of us laugh"
