Oliver drops low to take out my legs, I spin, but he still manages to get one and Lam thrown forward so I tuck in a coll and he follows to try and gain the advantage, but I use his weight to my advantage. I flip us both around and end up sprawled out across his chest.
He could easily reverse our position, but he doesn’t, he just stays on his back and holds me. I lay my head on his chest enjoying the closeness.
He takes a deep breath. “I know you don’t want to talk about it, but I have to ask.”
He rubs my back a few more times before he continues. “How fast are you trying to get out of here? I know you want to get back to training and you are doing all kinds of stuff with Alpha Reggie now that you know you are connected with them, but how long do we get to keep you? Last time was really hard.
I know none of the others are going to say anything, but it was really bad.”
“What do you mean really bad? No one said anything.”
“No one wanted to make you feel bad about being gone so long and with how it went down, I think we just wanted to focus on having you back, but you need to know…”
“Midge! What are you doing? Time is of the essence here!”
“Lil, your timing is terrible, you know that?”
“Why? You banging your Gamma?”
“You know I’m not, asshole.”
“Then move your ass, you can ogle your boy later.”
I take a deep breath and press my forehead to Oliver’s chest. “Can we table this? Lil is being insistent that what she has is time sensitive. I also feel like this is a conversation for all of us to have together and shots will be needed.”
“Shots? You have grown up haven’t you?”
“I had to learn how to keep up with college kids and stay safe, so yeah a little. We should maybe sneak out and do the bonfire tonight.”
“Why not? Let’s go see what your team found.”
“We really should go clean up first.”
“Nah. They interrupted something, they should know that. It will also help to spread some rumors at school.”
He winks at me.
I just shake my head, picking up my book, packing it back into my bag and we head out. He won’t let us walk though and heads towards a black jeep.
“Is this yours?” He nods. “When did you get this? I thought you guys went everywhere in the truck.”
I copy him and climb in as he starts it up and pulls out of the driveway.
“We still take the truck when we’re together, but we have been divided a lot over the last year really getting into our individual training and jobs. Like I said, lots of changes. I don’t know if all they guys are going to come clean, you just need to know we were all in a dark place for a while after you left. For me, it was getting to you so late. The twins actually didn’t speak…to each other… for almost a month. No one knows what happened there, but they stopped sharing a room too, and I’ve never seen them sleep separately in our lives. They did until you got back.”
“Yep, drinks are needed, especially if we are going to trade horror stories like that.
We pull up to the school and head into the office. We get strange looks from the few people in the hallways as we enter, making us both laugh.
For only two people. Lil and Jena have a flurry of things going on. Papers and blueprints are spread out everywhere.
“What is all this?” I ask, heading straight to the desk tracing my fingers on a stack of blueprints..
“We have them and we will be able to get the house built in a month. Cunningham is using pack funds to pay for this big ass house.”
She points at plans in front of her. “That he wants and he has no actual permissions from the Alpha or anyone that should have signed off on it. The original report shows that there was suspicion of foul play and arson, but no one followed through on the investigation and everyone just skipped to rebuilding the house.”
She hasn’t made eye contact yet, she is back to typing on her computer.
“That’s strange, I don’t remember anyone saying anything about foul play and the guys and I were all a part of the teams that took care of the damage and cleared out the areas to make room for the rebuild. Cunningham’s house was one of five that were really damaged to the point that the families needed to vacate.”
Oliver supplied.
Both of them looked up at us finally with different expressions on their faces. “Not banging your Gamma, my ass! What were you two up to?”
“I told you magic can get a bit messy.”
