He shoved past the twins.
I’m surprised they let him. I just walked forward, Wyatt could handle himself and he started that fight. Clearly lines are being drawn again, and it shouldn’t make me happy, but it does.
“MATEO! PUT ME DOWN!!” Jena screams. I get to the end of the hallway, just in time to see my brother start up the stairs with Jena over his shoulder. “Skylar! Help me with this. Your brother is being an asshole!”
“Skylar, if you come anywhere near her, I will forcefully mark her right here. You are coming with me woman, stop fighting.”
“WHAT!! Get your f*cking hands off me.”
She thrashes more.
“You are going to get us both killed if you don’t stop moving.”
My brother is so calm.
“Sky!?” She looks down at me, propping herself with her hands on his butt.
“No, I don’t think I’m going to help you out of this one. You are safe and need to hear him out at least.”
“Some friend you are. Lil!!”
“She is not going to help you either. None of them are.”
We all make it to the second floor landing. I turn to go to the room I share with just Lil now. Mateo grabs me with his free hand. “Thank you.”
He whispers and then kisses me on the forehead.
“I am not going to side with you in any arguments, jackass.”
She grumbles at me.
“Perfect! That means you’ll side with me.”
Mateo laughs and I smile at her indignation.
“Goodnight you two.”
I ignore the twins as I walk away and I can smell Oliver in the hallway, but for some reason I’m a little irritated at him too after the conversation in the Luna’s office. He doesn’t deserve my own insecurities lashing out at him so I head in and close the door quickly.
“Well, that was an interesting end to the night.”
Lil laughs at me. “What did the twins want?”
I walked over to grab clean clothes so I could shower. “They wanted to know what could be done to make Jena accept my brother.”
Lil laughs hard at that. “Have they met her? No one really ‘makes’ Jena do anything, or you for that matter.”
“Shut up.”
I laugh at her. “We’ll see how tonight goes. He had to haul her upstairs and I refused to save her so she won’t be super happy with me tomorrow.”
“We can worry about that tomorrow. I think her mate will help her, she’s just scared. At least it’s your brother and not some rando. She can stay here when this is all done. She has a place to call home now. I think when all of that sinks in she will be okay.”
“I know she doesn’t want to disappoint him if she can’t have kids though. Mike really messed her head up with that.”
“F*ck Mike. Better yet, let your brother f*ck Mike right out of her.”
She laughs again.
“Seriously? You had to put that thought in my head? I don’t want to think about my brother like that.”
“It’s better than the alternative.”
I just groan and head for the bathroom.
I slept okay considering Jena was on another floor of the house. I got up early despite going to bed super late and decided to help Lenny with getting stuff ready to take to the school for the wolves Robbie brought over. Lil is already gone, I assume either on surveillance duty or running a patrol.
