“No way! This skank? Please can I punch her in the face?
She looks very punchable.”
Jena chimes in. I
“No, she’s still a pack member. We can’t just beat her up because we want to. You need proof and a cause. She’s the worst kind of trouble” I replied, a little defeated.
How is it that these two, like Sierra, picked up on the animosity between Kaley and I and no one else has a clue?
Our discussion is interrupted by a blur of motion in the form of Luna Ava flying at me from the front door. Dakota jumps away from me, just barely out of his mom’s path as she reaches me and pulls me into a bone crushing hug.
“Oh, my sweet girl! I’ve missed you.”
“Luna Ava, you act like you didn’t just see me a couple weeks ago.”
I laugh into her shoulder.
“You were safe then. No one was chasing my girl, no one was trying to take you from us again.”
“Luna Ava, I thought we were going to start going over plans for our fall celebration party.”
Kaley tries to bring attention back to herself.
Luna Ava squeezes me tighter and whispers into my ear. “
I’m sorry, this can’t be avoided or helped. I will explain later.”
“We have had a change in plans due to some activity at one of the borders. I’m sorry Kaley.”
Luna Ava looks me in the eyes as she pulls away from me, takes a deep breath, schools her face and turns around. “We have a meeting with the Alpha that cannot wait. Skylar, where would you like your prisoner? We need to deal with him quickly so we can get his information to the right people. And we need to get you and your friends settled in their rooms and then you can tell me what you want for dinner. Lucas will be so excited to see you, we just didn’t get much time at the castle, you were so busy with your work with the Alpha King.”
She wraps her arm around my shoulder and guides me inside, Jena and Lillian following behind.
I don’t know what they did, but Kaley let out a growl as we passed. Nothing more was said until we were all the way upstairs on the guys’ floor.
Luna Ava looks around before heading to my room, like she’s waiting for someone to jump out and say boo. She leads us to my door after than and grabs the handle gently and slowly, like she’s afraid to open it.
“Please dont be upset at the state of it. I would have had everything put back to rights if I had known you were coming today.”
“Huh?” She opens the door. It looks like someone has been Camping in here and all the guys scents are all over the room. “I thought Dakota said they all avoided my room, what is all this?”
My bed is perfectly made, but there are piles of blankets everywhere. It looks like after a party and everyone sleeps wherever, too drunk to drive home.
“Hmm. Well, don’t believe a word of that. Those boys have all been kind of lost without you and Sierra round. They actually have a rotation of who sleeps in here, but none of them touch your bed or your closettrying to preserve your scent.”

“What the hell? That sounds crazy!” Lil laughs. “These guys sound like the guys on the compound. What do you do to make them just fall at your feet? You have to teach me your secrets.”
“I don’t do anything, and shut up, no one falls at my feet. I was just really close with these guys, I’ve known them my whole life and the year before I came to training, we were pretty much inseparable. I struggled without them too, I just had other things to deal with at the time.”
“Yeah, like spending a month in the hospital recovering from being poisoned by someone in your own pack. Sorry Luna Ava, but I don’t understand why she is still able to be out and about walking around when she hurts pack members, especially pups.”
Jena is bold, she always has been with me, but it is fun to see her come out of the shell her time with Mike put her in. She is embracing her Alpha blood and an equa to Luna Ava.
“This room is a safe space, and completely soundproof. And nothing I say leaves this room, I trust you girls because my Sky trusts you with her life. Kaley is a problem, always has been and without concrete evidence there’s very little we can do. Trust me we have tried, but we can’t just come out and accuse her of anything without it. We can’t be accused of playing favorites. Her family is the kind of family that will cause trouble. What am I talking about? They are causing trouble now. Just to give you a heads up, because your not-so-warm welcome is going to be a constant. The Cunninghams are staying with us while their home is being repaired. They are taking up half of the second floor, where you girls will be staying.”
She looks over at Lil and Jena with a grimace.
“If it’s a problem, they can stay up here with me…”
I start.
“NO! Sorry, no they can’t. Kaley can’t say anything about you being up here, because you have always had a room up here. She will have a fit if we let your friends stay up here with you. It shouldn’t matter, nor should it be anyone else’s business. But they are the worst type of me-to people I have ever met and they tend to bog us down with useless business that really only benefits them. But Lucas and I have discovered that if we keep them busy, they don’t go do things behind our backs.”
“You pack members just do that?” Jena is actually offended.
