My Secret, My Bully, My Mates.
Chapter 0592

The afternoon floated by and for a little while I forgot about being an alpha princess hybrid witch conundrum and I was just a girl talking with her friends about being a mate. It wasn't until the sun was setting and Ava came looking for us that I realized we had been out here all day. We each took small breaks to grab snacks and go to the bathroom, but we didn't leave this spot the entire day. I don't even remember the last time I did that when we weren't doing some kind of recon for a job.

"Skylar, I need to see you and the boys. Can you meet us at Brett's house please?" She didn't wait for an answer, just turned around and walked away. I looked at my friends confused.

"Why did she seem afraid to talk to you?" Lil asks from my right.

"No idea, but now I'm curious. Maybe she has information that might help?" I say it like a question, cause if something bigger was going on, she wouldn't want to meet at a house, she would want action. I think

We all stand and stretch as we speculate what it could be about. I feel like there are so many moving parts and people in the pack and a majority of our pack members aren't even here. I have to trust that everyone is doing their job, but at the same time, I feel like I have been so caught up in myself and what I have been going through since I returned that maybe I have missed crucial things. The thought makes me feel terrible, like I am already failing at my job as a part of the leadership of this pack. I used to focus on everyone and now I have become no better than Kaley. Self absorbed and self important. I have to fix that, immediately.

"What has you this miserable, mate?" Cam scoops me up from behind. I know it's him without looking or even his scent, I just know, but I didn't hear him approach either. Strange.

"Just a personal observation, no big

I

deal." I try to brush it off as his fingertips grip my waist and he catches a bare spot between my shirt and leggings. The minor skin to skin contact sends flames through my body have got to get this attraction under control, otherwise am liable to catch fire or turn into a glow stick or whatever happened to me when we mated, but in public. It's bad enough the fire lets everyone know about my intimate endeavors, which my friends were so helpful to point out as we talked. Sierra was at least impressed with my stamina and that I couldn't give her a count of how many org*sms they gave me, because I was too out of my mind to count.

"When you are this torn up about it, it is a big deal. And you seem to be bouncing between two distinct emotions. One I don't like and the other I like a lot." Oliver slides up next to us, pulling me out of my lustful thoughts with his sexy half smile.

"Any strong emotion is a big deal. What's up Smalls?" Dakota flanks us on the other side as Cam settles me into a more comfortable bridal carry.

I huff out a sigh, I really can't keep anything from them now. I don't particularly like lying, but sometimes feelings are just meant for the person feeling them, nothing to be shared. It's a way of processing, nothing more.

"Ava came to get me and asked that

we meet her at Brett's house and she wanted to talk to the four of us, which shouldn't be a big deal, but the look on her face said it might be. She almost shied away from us, which isn't like her at all. I just feel like I have been so concerned with my own things that I haven't been paying any attention to the people around us. I don't want to be self absorbed." I let my chin drop to my chest.

"I guess it's good she came to you. She has been avoiding us since we mated." Cam says, nudging my temple with his nose so I'll look up at him. He's looking down at me with real concern in his eyes. "I don't know if it's all the changes or maybe us mating brought something on. This whole situation is crazy and unpredictable, who knows how it's affecting the rest of them. I think Sam and Kyle are the only have maintained a normal

relationship. But, that's probably due to the fact that we have been under an attack threat for almost two years now and they have worked together to make the patrols and training schedules since before you left for training." I notice he leaves it at that. That 'I left for training.' We'll have to circle back to that discussion. "Nothing about us mating has changed that for them. Dad dying set the rest of us on a crash course path to changing the leadership for the pack, there were bound to be growing pains. I don't think Mom, Brett or even Daniel were prepared to have their whole job basically stripped like that. There's usually a transition period, but with all of the attacks and threats, our transition wasn't standard."
