My Secret, My Bully, My Mates (skylar) by Miss l Free novel Chapter 398

We both giggle and walk down the log hallway towards the common area where most people are milling about, having either eaten already or just getting back from a training session and socializing before they go in.

“I didn’t realize how many warriors were actually here.” Gasps Jena.

“I know! It takes a little while to get used to , but a lot of the warriors who have been around for a while don’t live in the compound dorms. This is mostly for the newbies, because we train more often and the trainers need more access to us. But everyone eats here, especially dinner. It’s the one time most of us are together.”

“Okay, it makes sense, it’s just going to take a bit to get used to. There’s Wyatt.” She points to our usual table.

“Hey! I hear I’m the odd man out tonight while you all get to go on a grand adventure.”

“I will trade you my spot next to Xander. I bet you’ll look fabulous in a dress fit for me.” I laugh at him.

“On second thought, you keep your position and I will stick to guarding Nathaniel and the new girl here.”

I shove him. “So you are going to be there? Why would you lie to me? I’m not really good at the feeling bad for you thing.” I laugh.

“It can’t hurt to try and see how you feel about me, Midge. Just have to keep checking, you know.” He wiggles his eyebrows at me and I respond with an eyeroll.

“Are you riding with us then, or does Warrior Osiston have something else set up for you?”

“I get to escort the ladies to the ball.” He says in a terrible English accent. “Nathaniel is on his way with all the gear Jena needs to beastmode him in the tech department. Speaking of, I think our ride is rolling up now.”

We are all still laughing as we head towards the door. We get about halfway across the common room when my second least favorite voice wafts out of the crowd.

“Wait, three years too young for the program. How old are you? I figured you were just tiny, maybe an Omega who could really fight. I know you’re not now, cause I can feel your aura almost as strong as mine.”

“Wait! All the time you guys have been together, her age never came up?”

“We had other pressing matters to deal with. She was capable and smart, her age didn’t matter at that point. Staying alive did.” She looks right at me expectantly.

“I turned sixteen just before I was taken.” I am pointedly staring out the window not wanting to make eye contact as that information sets in.

“Holy sh*t! Now it makes what Micheal was going to do so much worse. Did he know? I mean he was on the university campus with you and Tyler right? Wait! How did you get into college in the first place? You were actually in class with those losers. I have so many questions, but they will have to wait. Wow!” Her attention is all over the place as we pull up to the castle and towards the hidden entrance.
