My Secret, My Bully, My Mates.
Chapter 0475

“I have Sam and Mateo watching her. They seem to be like me and see both sides of whatever this is. Oh, speaking of which,” He takes the backpack he was wearing off and hands me two gallon sized zip top bags with clothes in them.

“What are these?” I’m actually afraid of the answer to this question.

“I know you are having nightmares, so don’t lie.” He holds up his hand to stop my protest. “I assume Jena is too, so I brought one of Mateo’s shirts for her since that seemed to help and I brought you one of Cam and Kota’s shirts. And just so we’re on the same page I will be taking one of yours and one of Jena’s to hide in their rooms. Actually I will need two of yours. Cam and Kota have gone back to being in separate rooms.” His look is so pained.

“They don’t sleep apart though, they never have.” I whisper.

“They did once, remember?” He looks me dead in the eyes. “The last time you left, they slept in separate rooms for almost a year. If I had to guess based on all the crazy ass timelines. It was right after the time you had been captured until you came back to us. They have also taken to dressing alike. Do you remember their social experiment?”

“Yeah.” I smile and laugh at the ridiculous memory. “That feels like forever ago. They were trying to prove that it was some kind of great phenomenon that I could tell them apart.”

“Well apparently it helps keep the crazies at bay and even their parents can’t tell them apart. And they won’t confirm who is who. They only speak out loud when they have to. They mindlink everything, and their wolves seem to be a part of all the conversations which change their voices. They don’t trust, and for good reason. They have everyone at arm’s length. Something deep in them knows something is wrong, I can see it in their faces, but they are stuck and can’t fix it alone. Since I have been spending time with you, I have started to see their differences and I think seeing them as individuals without assistance helps them focus, but it’s a huge battle. Sam and Mateo aren’t much better. Mateo has become more angry, he just radiates hostility, that is keeping people away from him. Sam just talks less and doesn’t smile at all. Although Sam might just be sad about Sierra not being here and doesn’t give a sh*t about anything.”

“What? Where did she go?”

“Don’t know. She left a note saying she had something to work on and she had to leave in the middle of the night because of the lockdown. No one has heard from her since and I think he might be losing his mind a little over it. I think he’s nervous because she turned 18 and we all know that he thinks they are mates, but she bailed before his birthday. I think he’s afraid he lost her.”

Oh sh*t, that would probably mess me up too. We all know he loves her and it was just a matter of them waiting until they were 18 to confirm their feelings.

“I’ll ask Osiston. I was able to connect with him. I have been sending her texts everyday and they show up read, but she never answers. Same with Mina. Everyone is working on this Rogue King thing so they aren’t worried about our trivial problems here.”

“What’s happening here isn’t trivial, trust me. This is big, but still really fractured, nothing makes sense yet.”

“Oh, there you are! Everyone is wondering where you snuck off too.” Oliver and I both jump at Lenny’s words. “Better walk home with me then, you don’t want them smelling her on you now. They are already not stable.”

“What is going on?! Who isn’t stable?”

“Your twins are having a rough time fighting the control. They are, however, doing better than the Alpha. But their possessiveness is at an all time high.”

“What control? Lenny, what’s going on?”

“I thought you would have figured it out by now. All three of them are being controlled. My guess is they ingested something along with a spell. I bet the boys only got a half dose each, which is why they seem to be mostly conscious, but still addled.”

“What? Who would do that?”

“I thought you were smart, girl. Who do you think? It worked for her Daddy to gain the control he doesn’t deserve, why wouldn’t she use it to gain the Alpha’s she doesn’t deserve. Now, we need to go and take a very specific route that will help us wear off your scent.”

“Speaking of scent, I need those shirts. I want to know if your scent will bring them back to normal. Please.”

“Fine. Give me a minute.” At this point I’m willing to try anything. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I take the shirts inside and switch them out for Jena’s and mine. I seal the bags so they don’t smell me on him. Lenny made it sound like that would be a really bad thing. I walk back outside and hand the shirts to Lenny.

“If they do find them, they won’t do anything to Lenny but question her. If they are as deranged as you both are making them sound, they might hurt you.” I tell a confused Oliver. Then he just nods. “Can you stop by tomorrow? I have my next assignment from Elena and today was the first time I have been able to do magic since we moved out. I think I need you.” I look back at the little fire I made.

“What you need, what we all need is to be together. This break in our friendship is going to get us all killed if we don’t fix it fast.” I nod and move to hug him, but stop. I can’t risk putting my scent on him and just shake my head and take a deep breath. “I will be back tomorrow, probably in the evening if I can sneak away. I’ll see you in passing, on patrols in the morning.” He winks and I smile.

He and Lenny walk around the back yard and toward the pack house. It will be a thirty minute walk from here, but I think that’s one of the reasons she does it, so our scents can be dulled by the breeze. She also doesn’t come in or make contact when she can help it.

I head inside to tell my team what Lenny and Oliver think about the whole situation.
