My Secret, My Bully, My Mates (skylar) by Miss l Free novel Chapter 278

Mina and I look at each other. I know I am trying to contain my excitement, by the look on her face she is too.

“So what does that mean for us? What are we doing exactly?” Mina asks.

“You will start training with our recon team. We have a very specific way that we gain and relay information. We need to make sure that you are able to work within our formations and understand all of our calls and codes.” Nickolas looks serious, letting us know that he’s on board with this but wary at the same time.

“We also need to get you branded.” Alpha Reggie begins. “It’s for your safety and our peace of mind. The elders voted ‘no’ last night when we proposed it, but we will approach them again. Now that we have solid proof that female wolves are being stalked and taken, it’s less of a choice as it is a duty now. These untrained, unwilling girls are being taken and we don’t know for what purpose. But, you both need the brand so we can track you if something goes wrong.”

“And when it comes to the Rogue King, we expect it to go sideways.” Nickolas mutters loud enough to be heard by all of us.

A flutter rushes through my stomach at the thought, but I don’t think it’s fear. Is it crazy that the thought of being captured excites me a little? What does that say about me? Oh Goddess, I am nuts, but I don’t feel bad about it at all.

“Can we start training with the team even if we aren’t branded, while you are trying to convince the Elders to allow our brands?” Mina asks. I was too far ahead of the game in my mind. We need to start first.

“I think that would be wise. The Elders will be brought to reason, but we can’t delay. They could move at any time and we need to get into one of their locations.” Osiston says. “You will no longer be doing your regular daily training. You will both join our team for overnight training beginning today. Your school schedule will remain the same and we expect you to keep up your work, but you will not be required to do evening training so you can rest before joining the team again. The team’s mission and your roles in it are classified.”

We both nod when he doesn’t continue.
