Filed To Story: Secret with Betas Daughter: Skylar Story Series
We all laugh at Sierra, because I wouldn’t put it past Sam to try or Sierra to enjoy it.
Can you guys see it though? That’s my biggest question right now. If I’m the only one who can see the magic, then maybe I’m the only one who can get past it.
You can stop that train right now. You may be able to put your mates in their places, but that hot Alpha girl routine will not work here. You go in with us or not at all, got it.
What I was saying, asshole, is that we need to figure out if you can go in with me. I don’t have a death wish, Lillian. Can. You. See. The. Magic?
I feel cold, like something is off, but I don’t see anything. What am I looking for?”
Lil asks.
***I see the haze on the trees, but I don’t feel anything.”
Sierra’s wolf looks at us.
***The sound has changed.”
Jena steps next to me. “Like when I am here next to you, the only thing I can hear is us. But, back here,”
She trots about fifteen feet behind me. “I can hear all of you and the warrior’s conversations too. I just don’t know if that is a Midge thing, a Rogue King proximity thing or a spell on the area thing.***
Who knows, but we can’t wait for the guys. We need to check this out. Now.
Well, you sure as shit aren’t going first, just in case that magic is designed to trap you.”
Lil steps forward ahead of me and every fiber of my being wants to pull her back by her tail and jump in front, but I know she’s right, someone else has to test it although the thought that she might get hurt or worse from it makes me want to throw up.
I nod at her and Jena steps in front of me.
What are you doing?”
I can’t keep the snark out of my voice.
If it’s a trap she shouldn’t be in there alone and it shouldn’t be you. You need to be out here working on how to get us the fck back out. I will go in with Lil, if we can pass back through to you, then you and Sierra can follow. If it closes behind you Sierra can still call for backup.*
I don’t hate this plan.”
I say begrudgingly. I chose them as my found family when I needed one and now they are my permanent family and my team, I have to trust their judgment now just like every other mission we have ever been on.
Lil steps through first muttering a continuous stream of profanities so I can tell if I can still hear her link on the other side. No problems so far. I nod at Jena, who moves to the edge of the trees where Lil disappeared. She steps forward and once two paws are past the treeline, she also disappears. I give them a minute to gauge their surroundings and report back.
While we wait, I turn to Sierra. When are you gonna make your announcement? Does Sam know?
Announce what? What are you talking about?
I just look at her waiting for her to come clean. She doesn’t usually keep secrets. But the longer my wolf and I look at her the more we realize she has no idea.
Sierra, when was your heat?”
My wolf sits on her butt. The other two are muttering to each other on the other side of the magic, I tune them out this is important, especially if we go in there and get captured. She just looks at me for a second and then her wolf’s eyes go wide. ?
Last week, but how did you know that I had it?
Your scent has changed. I noticed earlier, but I thought maybe it was just being around everyone and all the hormone stuff going on with me finding my mates, but I can still smell the difference now.
What are you saying Skylar?”
She slowly sinks down on her haunches next to me.
That I have a suspicion and you need to be careful in here and not give them a reason to harm you unnecessarily or use you and my niece or nephew as bait. The other girls didn’t say anything and I assume Sam hasn’t either, meaning it’s really early and I can tell because I’m your Alpha or because my sense of smell has always been more intense. It shouldn’t be a problem in there, but all this is new for me too. I just didn’t want you to go in there and not know, just in case someone we come across has the same senses as me.”
She leans into me, tucking her furry head under my wolf’s chin, which only works in this form since we are closer to the same size. “We should tell the girls too.
No! They’ll just worry more, and I am kind of freaking out enough for everyone right now.
***That’s kind of the point. We are all important and necessary, not just me. You are currently carrying our future. We can’t have secrets, that will only give them ammunition to use against us. Let’s go get this over with so we have a future to be in.***
