My Secret, My Bully, My Mates (skylar) by Miss l Free novel Chapter 613

I move the green grimoire to the counter and turn to give him a hug. “I am sorry that happened. I will try to be more aware of where everyone is.”

“Don’t, we don’t want to interrupt your time with any of us. It can be so chaotic and there are three of us. You do whatever you want with us, we won’t complain, I promise.” He kisses me on the forehead and pulls me in for another hug. “What’s this Bitty?” He reaches for the book.

“It’s a grimoire, I think. It’s not mine and I don’t know of anyone else who has one. It was on the bookshelves. I thought maybe it was given to Lucas. It feels cold and angry when I open it, like the book doesn’t want me to read it. I was going to ask Gentry and Elena about it today.”

“If it isn’t friendly, let’s not open it any more and get down to them sooner rather than later.” Cam jumps up to help cook, ending that conversation abruptly. He’s been the most wary of the magic since he found out about the deal his parents made.

Dakota and I get out plates and make coffee. It feels so domestic and foreign and yet familiar all at the same time. I lean back against the low cabinets separating the kitchen from my sitting room and watch them like I used to watch all the guys from the patio when they would clean up after big dinners by the pool.

“What has that smile on your face?” Dakota walks over and grabs my hand to bring me back to the island.

“Just a little deja vu, watching you guys in the kitchen together.” I smile and follow him to the island. They actually let me sit in a chair this morning, all by myself. We ate and talked about nothing in particular and then got ready like this is our normal everyday.

As soon as we hit the main floor I am attacked by Sierra. She acts like we didn’t see each other at all yesterday. Well, I mean it was busy with the random wolves attacking.

“Let’s go test your fighting abilities now, and please promise not to kill anyone alright?” She sing-songs as she leads me out the door, not caring at all who is following along.

We go to one of the smaller arenas, we still haven’t had the time or man power to remove all of the broken obstacle pieces. It feels wrong to just leave it like that, but we have bigger problems. I do want it fixed before we bring the pups home though.

We move to the farthest edge of the arena and Sierra turns me towards her. “Okay, now I really need to know. Are you happy? I mean, you always wanted to find your mate and basically ride off into the sunset with him. Now you have three mates, are here permanently and you’re an Alpha because you are too good to be a Luna.” She has her hands on her hips and I can feel Jena and Lil behind me. We are upwind from them, but I can catch faint whiffs of their scents. Their presence is like a pressure at my back. Without looking I can tell how far they are from me and at what angle they are to my back.

***”Dakota, have them test your blind spot, just past your peripherals.”***

“I am happy. I only wanted to leave because of Kaley. I figured they would find a way to make her Luna and the abuse would just continue.”
