Filed To Story: Secret with Betas Daughter: Skylar Story Series
Oliver, our future Gamma, looks like your stereotypical biker. Medium length, dark brown, almost black hair that falls forward obscuring his face and piercing brown eyes that are almost as dark give off a
don’t mess with me’ vibe. He has tattoos on both forearms and one on his chest, just peeking out of the collar of his shirt. He is the most quiet of the group, lending to the mysteriousness. His expression is regularly bordering on resting b*tch face.
Our future alphas are twins that could melt you with one glance, or maybe that was just me. They both had black hair with a gentle wave to it. They both kept their hair short on the sides and back like my brother. Cameron was always perfectly groomed, no curl on top of his head was out of place. His light green eyes softened his severely sharp features though. Dakota let his curls do whatever they wanted on the top of his head. I had often wondered what it would be like to run my fingers through those soft curls. Dakota’s baby blue eyes were more playful than his brothers, he was definitely the troublemaker of the two.
Somebody must have said something, because Sierra elbowed me in the ribs. Oh, Goddess, please let me not be drooling. I mentally facepalm myself. “I’m sorry, what?”
I look around having no idea what we were supposed to be talking about.
“I was just saying, nice moves at training today. Hopefully we’ll get a chance to work on those again at advanced training and you can give us some tips. Sam needs to redeem his top takedown time.
Cameron says to me, smiling, and Dakota laughs, slapping Sam on the back.
I just smile and nod, feeling a little dumbfounded. I have no idea how to respond. These guys have never talked to me more than a hi’ in passing at my house before and never at school. Even though they have been friends with my brother for their whole lives and spend a ridiculous amount of time at my house. This is the longest interaction I have ever had with any of them.
He, he, he. A weird forced, high pitched giggle comes from my left. I looked over and didn’t even realize Kaley was standing next to me. She reached out and put her hand on Cameron’s chest. “You’re so funny babe, Sam is one of the best warriors we have, I bet he could do that move with one hand tied behind his back. His dad was just being nice to Sierra and S-Skylar.”
Did she just choke on my name?
She’s never really used it before. I’m normally just the b-word to her. “It’s not fair to wolves lower than you guys.
Who is she calling a lower wolf? I can feel my muscles shake with my wolf’s irritation. I look down at the ground and blink a few times to make sure my eyes aren’t changing color, giving away that I have my wolf.
Cameron takes a slow breath in and takes an almost imperceptible step back as his twin chimes in.
“Nope, I’m pretty sure Sam sucks and needs to start from the basics again. Maybe we should send him to train with the pups for the week.”
Dakota laughs out and my brother joins him this time. So does
Sierra and I allow myself a giggle. I can’t help it, their laughs are infectious. This is the first time in a long time I have felt comfortable around my brother and his friends and probably the first time ever in a public setting like school. I break eye contact and look away, taking a few deep breaths to settle my mind around that. I look back up at my brother. A sort of pained look flashes in my brother’s eyes I can’t quite read, does he not want to be over here talking to me? The thought that he doesn’t want me shouldn’t sting this bad, since it’s really the only solid emotion I ever get from him, but my heart sinks into my stomach. I quickly break eye contact and look at the floor again. I don’t want to earn more slaps for someone’s weird fetish over my brother.
“As much as I enjoy making fun of your boy Sam here.”
She pats Sam’s arm. “Skylar promised me some food, we were just heading out to eat, if you will excuse us gentlemen.”
Sierra basically pushes us through the wall of six foot tall guys like it was no big deal and leads me toward the parking lot of the training grounds where she left her car this morning. I hear a huff behind us, but I’m not sure who it was and can’t wait to get out of here as soon as possible.
“How do you already have a car?”
I ask, knowing she isn’t 16 yet.
“I was able to get my license early, with special permission from the Alpha of course.”
she winks at me.
“My parents were always so busy researching and working for the Alpha King that I needed a way to get around. As long as I don’t go joyriding or do anything else stupid behind the wheel, I get to keep my license.”
She shrugs like that is a totally normal thing. I have a feeling she can talk anyone into just about anything without putting much effort into it.
“Hey!”
A shout from behind us has us both turning around just before we get in her car. “I almost forgot, are you guys coming to the bonfire tonight?”
Sam comes jogging up to us.
Sam’s POV
“She is here with her uncle and aunt while her parents are working for the Alpha King.”
That got my attention. She who? Dad didn’t say anything about any girl visiting the pack.
Just as that thought flitted across my mind the most drop dead gorgeous girl struts onto the training grounds just ahead of my father. She knew how to make an entrance. She casually glanced around the crowd and then made her way to the opposite end as the guys and I. She was clearly talking to someone I couldn’t see then turned around giving her full attention to my dad and the other warriors training us today.
Dad had gone over this new move with us a few days ago so I wasn’t really paying attention to the explanation, I was more interested in the new girl.
“Did you know a new girl was coming into the pack?”
