Chapter 0329
“Are you with someone else? Or does someone have a claim on you?” Is he angry? Why does he sound angry?
“Excuse you?!” I step back as my temper flares for a second, but I close my eyes and take a breath in and reign it in. I need to talk to him, we need answers. "No, nothing like...
just... let's just sit down and I can explain."
We grab a booth in the back and he sits across from me looking skeptical. The waitress is quick to get to us and we both order the same thing. Tyler never takes his eyes off of me.
“You have someone, is that why you are reluctant with me?"
He does not even mince words.
“No, I don't, but it's complicated. I'm complicated."
“How so?” Still irritated. I am doing everything to not return the sentiment in my tone.
“How old are you Tyler?"
“Twenty two, why? How is this relevant to you having a boyfriend?’ I ignore him.
“Any siblings? A little sister maybe"
“I had a sister, yes. Where are you going with this?”
“It is actually my best friends’ boyfriend, who is like my older brother. I knew him first, I've known him since birth actually.
But it’s her birthday today so we were on the phone talking this morning and I didn’t know he was in earshot of the conversation, but I was telling her about the run last night and he got mad at me for being out with college guys without anyone to protect me, basically. Overprotective doesn’t even begin to describe him. He told me I needed to come home, which pissed me off, and I have a bit of a temper when it comes to people telling me what to do so I usually go to the gym where it is harder to break stuff. So here we are.” I take a deep breath after all of that word vomit.
“So you are telling me that you are seven years younger than me, but taking the same college level courses that I am and worried that I might have a problem with the age difference.
Is that right? This other guy definitely has a problem with the age difference, and you are certain it’s an older brother thing and nothing more?"
“Well, basically yeah. The classes aren't really the problem.
Let’s be honest. It's the life experience that I think you might have an issue with. You've seen more than I have and been through more than I have. With all my intelligence I am still only fifteen. And I'm not going to lie, the whole relationship thing is only a concept to me. I have never had one and it makes me really nervous. And yes, my massive, overprotective, flirt of a friend is like my big brother, there are no other feelings there. The way he is with my best friend, I kind of hope they are mates. It's a goals type of relationship.”

The readers' comments on the novel: My Secret, My Bully, My Mates (skylar) by Miss l Free
I have loved reading your work, there needs to be more!! I’d love to read more about the guys and kids and life now, the relationship with Sky and her dad. I really hope there’s a continuation...
Why don't I remember the Goddess saying that about a niece and nephew being safe after their mother ridding the world of one of the worst monsters....
I read previously that she might have healing powers if she changes to wolf and lick the wound....
It would be nice to hear about what's happening with the guys. Their thoughts and feelings....
The beginning of the chapter says she will put them in their place, yet she does nothing...
Need to have more of the story to find out about sky's girls and the rest of characters. Book was not finished in my opinion....
I was okay until I started realizing (spoiler) she isn't gonna have 3 mates and only ends up with the twins... So sad, I loved the chemistry between FL and Oliver...
So let me get this straight.. Xavier went from being 18 to 20 to 22 and now 24 whats next 26?? (。-ω-)...
I get that the author is upset that this site has pirated her book, but when you can only access it here or a sketchy app that costs way too much, you can't really blame people. I would've happily bought a paperback or kindle edition of the book, but for some reason that's still not an option....
I am so confused. Skylar only went on one mission but now in the later chapters she has been to Arizona and broke a guys fingers and to the UK for the turf war dispute. So how could she have been on those missions if she spent 10 months in Maine and the other times being trained...
