My Secret, My Bully, My Mates (skylar) by Miss l Free novel Chapter 520

I hear them too, but still no one else. Elena is my dad’s second chance mate? What the f*ck is the Moon Goddess Playing at? She’s helping me, he hates me. She’s a witch and he’s a werewolf, just like Nikolas and Gentry. Oh! That explains why I keep seeing the four of them together. When did this happen? Will she stay here, in the pack? Will he go with her now that he is free of his Beta duties? Will she want to keep training me now that she is with him? My stomach plummets at the thought. We have been doing so well and I love training with her, I don’t want to lose that because she chooses her mate over me.

My heart actually hurts at the thought of the loss.

“No! You are not spiraling, get out of that head Bitty.” Oliver picks me up and I can tell we are moving by the flexion in the muscles in his torso.

I don’t know where we are going, but I can smell Cam and Kota with us too. I bury my head in Oliver’s neck. I know he says we aren’t mates, but his scent is the thing keeping me sane right now. I can feel Cam and Kota close too. One is touching my ponytail as it swings and the other brushes my shoe as his arm swings. I’m trying to stay out of my head like Oliver said. I’m thinking about what I did with Jena when she was having full blown panic attacks. Five things I can see. I see Oliver’s shirt below me, behind him I see trees and a path. We’re in the forest. To his right I see Cam’s legs walking a step ahead. Looking down I see Kota’s arm swinging behind me. Four things I can feel. Oliver’s breath on my head. My hand fisted into his shirt. His firm grip on my ribs and legs. The temperature change as we move further down the path. Three things I can smell. Them. I can smell all three of them separate but together. Crisp citrus, sharp cinnamon and warm honey. It’s like my personal dessert. Two things I can hear. All of them breathing, deep controlled breaths. I can hear the crunch of twigs and rustle of the damp earth under their feet. What can I taste? Salt. Was I crying? I don’t even remember.

“Giver her here, and start a fire, she’s shivering.”

“Cam…” I can only whisper his name. He sits on the ground leaning against one of the large logs with me across his lap. I tuck my head into his neck and breathe in, letting his scent add a wave of calm to my nerves.

“We’ve got you Tiny.”

“What happened? We were talking with mom and my knees almost gave out then we were running out the back door. I didn’t even realize we were running to you until I grabbed your hand. It’s like my wolf took over.” Kota says over the pile of wood he made inside the rough stone clad circle.

“I felt your fear. This was probably just as bad as the locker room Bitty, what did they tell you?”
