“Gamma Brett just got here with her. There was a complication at the packhouse.”
Cam says.
“What did Kaley want? Access to your rooms at the packhouse or access to the hospital?” I say in a bored tone. Nothing she does surprises me anymore.
“Here.”
Dakota huffs out and scratches the back of his neck.
“Look, I don’t care what choices you have made, I have no control over you or have any right to make requests of you, but if she is here, then I will not be, period.”
“Skylar…”
Cam pleads, but before he can continue Gamma Brett and Oliver walk in the door.
“What are you doing here?” Again, not holding anything back, I stare past the Gamma and at my trouble making friend.
“Dad said everyone close to the Alphas needed a protection detail, I am here for you.”
He gives me that half smirk and a wink that tells me I am not going to win this argument, but he really wants me to try. Then he saunters over and sits right next to me, close enough for every inch of my left side to touch his right. “I also caught Lil on the way in and she said to give you this.”
He hands me a backpack and now I know I’m in for trouble. I can guarantee she told him about our conversation and they are conspiring together. He just smiles wider as I take it. I open it slowly, I’m almost afraid of what I will find. Lil has been known to pack some prank stuff on missions, especially if it’s long and drawn out like this one.
“Gamma Brett, we are going to need a bigger room if all of us are going to be here with the Alpha, do you know if the hospital has a space that can house us all?” The Luna asks.
“Not off the top of my head, I’ll go ask.”
He thumbs over his shoulder and starts to head towards the door.
“I’ll come with you, I need to stretch my legs.”
She jumps up from her chair. “Boys, let me know if anything, and I mean anything changes while I am gone.”
The twins nod.
I pull out my laptop and set it next to me. Ignoring the surge of testosterone in the room. That at least I was expecting. Then a change of clothes and basic

toiletries. That had to be Jena. The next is a little velvet bag. I look at Oliver with an eyebrow raised. He just stares back. He knows what this is, but won’t give anything away. I pull the drawstring open and peer inside. It’s the twins bracelets, one with a blue thread and one with a green thread woven into it.
***”You sure you can tell them apart, Bitty?”***
***”That’s a stupid question, Gamma.”***
***”It’s now or never then. You may not get another uninterrupted time with both of them.”***
***”You set me up?”***
***”Who else? Besides, I don’t know if they will fight you in here. No one is watching, they don’t have to put on a show.”***
I look at him curiously, and then just nod. I take both bracelets out and take a deep breath then stand. As I look over at the twins they are watching Oliver and I curiously and try to think about what we might look like from the outside. I guess I can s see what Jena and Lil were saying about it not being a surprise if we are mates. We are really close, but I also thought I was close to the twins and Sam too, so who knows what rumors are flying around anymore.
I walk over to them and pull Luna Ava’s chair so I am sitting in front of both of them. Oliver is right behind me, I know to pull me out of the way if they start to thrash like Mateo did.
They say nothing, but look a mix between terrified and confused. Blue and green eyes scrutinizing every movement I make. I hold up the bracelets. “I made these for you, I made them for all you guys,” I point at Oliver, who shows his.”I’m not going to lie to you, because I think that has been done enough. They do have magic attached to them, but it is for your protection. I hope that you take them willingly, but I will force you if I have to.”
They both just continue to stare at me. I will not beg and plead. They have about thirty seconds before I move and I know Oliver will back me up. They were warned and should know better than to test me. “Skylar, please don’t do this, you don’t know what you’re asking.”
Cam starts.
I hold up my hand. “Easy way or hard way, that’s all I need to know.”
“Sky, we can’t. If you are trying to use magic, then you know we can’t, you know what’s happening.”
Kota tries.
