My Secret, My Bully, My Mates (skylar) by Miss l Free novel Chapter 644

“We would have to be ‘on’ all the time. That’s why mom and dad had the rules about who could be on which floors at the packhouse and keeping the greenhouse completely private. It was so they could have moments away from everyone, even if they were only small bits of time.” Dakota’s tone is just as strained as Oliver’s but they are both trying to reign it in. It makes me smile.

“Alright, I just want time alone with you guys, whatever that means.” I say as we pull up. “But first…” I practically jump from the truck before it’s in park as Oliver tries to grab me. I use Sierra running at us as a distraction. She launches herself into my arms, which is a sight, I’m sure.

“Oh wow, you and your mates need to go find a dark corner for all of that s*xual tension.” She giggles in my ear making a point to take a deep breath in.

I ignore her comment and look at her closely like I should be able to detect a change in her after being apart. “How are you feeling?”

She laughs. “Not much different than a few hours ago. You’re going to be as bad as Sam aren’t you?”

“And all the rest of the guys!” I giggle at her. “This is so exciting!” It feels so good to have something to smile about.

“I’m fine. I was able to get in touch with Mom. Her and Dad will be here in a few days and will more than likely overstay their welcome.” She playfully rolls her eyes. I know how close she is with them and they are amazing. I wouldn’t want anyone else here with her and Jena.

“Can you blame them though? This is so exciting!” I pull her in for another hug.

“Well it won’t be just me for long with the way your mates are looking at you right now.”

She looks pointedly over my shoulder and I follow. They look like Alphas observing a scene, but to those of us who really know them, they are wound up tight. I don’t know why I am in a teasing mood all of a sudden, but making them wait a little longer seems like the best course of action right now.

“Stop! I haven’t even had my heat yet and for once I would really like something about me to be normal and not happen early.” I bury my face in my hands feeling bad about feeling so selfish. I want kids, but not yet. I feel like we haven’t stopped to breathe since we have been here. There is so much more we still need to do to put the pack back together.

“What about you is normal?” Jena asks as her and Lil walk up and hug us both. “Cause from where I’m standing ‘normal’ isn’t even in your vocabulary.”

“I told her her mates look like they want nothing more than to knock her up, but she doesn’t want to hear that yet.”

“Yeah, you have three of them. That’s three times the chances. I’m surprised you aren’t pregnant now.” Lil bumps my shoulder with a big sh*t eating grin.

“Everything else happened early, why not your heat? And aren’t you like part witch? They don’t need to go into heat, remember?” Jena shrugs.

I grimace. “So not helping.”

Oliver comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my shoulders. “Why are you giving Bitty a panic attack? What are you four up to?” Just his smell has me relaxing.
