I just blink, tears are threatening behind my eyes, but I refuse to let them fall. I feel like my emotions are on overdrive being home, or maybe being this close to the guys again I can’t stuff them down like I do when I am away.
“Hey, Bitty, you good?” Oliver walks up to me rubbing his chest. I can see the looks of my friends from the corners of my eyes. I just walk into his massive chest and wrap my arms around him, taking in a deep calming breath. This is something I have missed. “I’m still mad at you.”
He wraps his arms around me and squeezes tight.”
“I know, I’m a terrible friend, I’m sorry.”
I squeeze tighter.
“Not good enough, but we’ll get to that later.”
He lets me go and walks back to his group.
“What was all that about?” Jena asks.
“He can feel my emotions, he just knows when I’m upset. The connection has saved me more than once.”
“Really? Have you two always been like that?”
“No, it was after I got my wolf and we really started to hang out. It kind of developed, the more we hung out the more he could feel my emotions. He’s most attuned to sadness and fear emotions.”
I shrugged my shoulders.
“And he’s going to be your Gamma?” Lil asks.
“Yeah, why?”
“Looks like a mate thing to me, just curious.”
“Not a mate thing, I don’t think. Neither of us do. We have talked about it before, when, well that story is too long for right now, but he somehow could sense me having a panic attack from somewhere else in the packhouse and was able to find me based on our connection. But my brother, Sam and the twins have the same ability to calm me that he does. It’s something with our group.”
“You ladies ready?” Delta Kyle calls over to us.
We look at eachother and shrug. None of us even talked about a plan of attack for this game. “Ready as we’ll ever be I guess.”
Jena laughs.
“Midge, you call the shots. This is your game and your pack, you know them best.”
“Got it. The flag is on the top of the rope climb. They are probably really good at that now, but it’s their go-to spot to place the flag. No different than trials Lil. Don’t underestimate how f*cking fast these kids are especially with a challenge. Get off the ground as quickly as possible. It’s harder for them to herd us that way and we are faster in the air. Split right away, I’ll go down the center and throw them off. We need to mess with their heads a bit, confuse them. Meet you at the top.
“Got it Boss.”
They both call back not looking at me.
We have perfected the art of talking over the mindlink while paying attention to others.
“3…2…1…Go!” Kyle calls out.
3-6
We take off in three directions. I run right at a group of kids who look terrified. I just laugh and jump over them landing soft on my feet and using the momentum to roll forward and continue running. “GO!!! Why are you staring at her? You see us do stuff like that all the time.”
I hear Sam yell and laugh at the same time.
I can see Jenal to my right, her group following her like a rockstar. Lil is to my left and she is bobbing and weaving through the kids, messing with them and loving every second based on her cackle. None of them can touch her and some are loving the game and some are super frustrated based on the growls coming from them,
“Let’s go Lil, we are on a time crunch.”
“No one said anything about a time limit. What the hell?”
“It’s a personal time thing, not official, but you are not going to slow us down.”
I laugh back at her.
“Yes, boss.”
