My Secret, My Bully, My Mates (skylar) by Miss l Free novel Chapter 492

Firm hands grab my shoulders and I stiffen. He doesn’t try to move me, just keeps me from opening the door. I take a breath in and that’s when I noticed it, I can smell Cam’s thick citrus smell, but faintly blending with that is her. The smell might be a day or so old, but it’s there on his skin. He’s been with her, they probably both have. It takes everything for me not to let the tears behind my eyes fall. I took another deep breath willing them back and it was a terrible idea.

“Please stay Tiny, he wants you here.”

I shrug his hands off. “If you put your hands on me again, I will remove them with the weapons you gifted me. And we have had this conversation before Cameron. We are not friends, only my friends get to use nicknames.”

“And get to touch you apparently.” Kota says bitterly.

I turn sharply. “So we’re going to do this now? Fine. Everyone knows you haven’t been allowed to touch me, talk to me or in general come near me.” Kota rolls his eyes. It pisses me off. “Had s*x with Kaley in the last two days?” I go directly for the lowest blow and look between the two of them just staring at me open mouthed.

“I don’t know what you’re…”

“Talking about?” I narrow my eyes. “Remember. I can smell the difference between you two. You may dress and act the same for everyone else, but you can’t hide from me, Dakota. Do you think I wouldn’t smell her all over you? Go be a hypocrite to someone else.”

They both have the decency to look ashamed at least. Even the Luna stays silent. None of them explain or defend themselves. I don’t break the silence, they can live in this awkward moment forever, I have time apparently.

“Skylar, you don’t understand, this is so complicated, so many more things are at play here that you realize.” Cam, always the placating one.

I just laugh, I’m not touching that with a ten foot pole. I don’t know if there is some way that Kaley can listen in on their conversations, but I don’t want her knowing we suspect her and her father of this whole f*cked up situation. We still haven’t put all the pieces together yet either. I know there is something I am missing.

“Please stay, just until he wakes up, he wants you here for a reason.” Luna Ava is pleading with me, still tucked under Kota’s arm.

Why am I even considering this? None of them deserve my help or consideration right now. So why can’t I just storm out like my logical brain wants me to?

I groan. “Fine. I need some things so I can work. Some of us do spend every waking minute taking care of this pack, not just pandering to the princess’ every want and need. If I am in this room, I am his protection detail, no one comes in without my say so. I still want the Gamma here for the Luna. Beta Daniel can be your go between to get you guys set up to run the pack. Mateo should begin working as your Beta as well learning the ropes since you guys are all being thrust into this sooner than expected. I want two of my warriors at the doors to this wing and at the hospital entrance. If you can’t handle my demands, then I am leaving.”

Cam and Kota don’t even look at each other before they nod.

“Whatever you need, Skylar.” Cam says, and it sounds so patronizing, but it’s what I asked for.

“I think we are going to need a bigger room. I’ll just step out and…”
