“It’s not again. I wasn’t given a choice last time, I was removed from the pack for everyone else’s safety, since clearly all the problems surround me.”
I look at my brother then, Sam and Sierra. I don’t know wha they know or think is going on, but no one else moves to stop me. So, they either agree or have an Alpha command to stay put.
Wyatt moves around me to open the door and as if someone conjured them, Kaley and her father are walking up the porch.
“Awe, is our little traitor and her gang being cast out in the middle of the night. Have fun living as rogues.”
Wyatt snarls and it takes both Jena and I to restrain him back.
“Bunch of heathens. No wonder the Alpha King has you on killing duty, it’s all you’re good for.”
Kevin waves his hand up and down Wyatt.
“We aren’t rogues and we aren’t heathens, you manipulating morons.
Your pack was just attacked, we have sh*t to do” Lil explains simply grabbing Wyatt’s bag and leading us out. And, just for the record, Katey, come near any of us and we will treat you with the same kindness as you have shown Skylar. And remember this, we are all experts.”
“How dare you threaten me!” She screams, I’m sure waking people up to witness our departure. “Are you going to let her threaten me like that?” She looks at everyone, but her dad is the one dumb enough to step close to us.
“You are no longer welcome on our pack grounds or in this pack house, leave and do not return. I don’t know how you get away with threatening a future Luna, but we won’t stand for it.”
Again, no sound from any of the ranked members watching from the porch. That’s when I see it, a flash.

The smallest thing, I never would have noticed before, like a bubble that catches the sunlight just right and reflects a rainbow. There is some kind of barrier up, maybezan illusion so they aren’t seeing what is really happening, but if that’s the case then he has underestimated my abilities. I don’t understand why it seems to be working the most on the Alpha and just occasionally on everyone else. Even Sierra is stuck on the porch. Mateo looks heartbroken, but Oliver is staring right at me. Our bond clearly stands the test of all boundaries and barriers.
I shake my head slightly at him then shift my focus and step forward, I can feel the wild smile on my face growing menacingly. “You have chosen the wrong enemy.”
I say allowing my full beta and royal auras out together.
They both begin to sink to the ground as if & weight is pushing on their heads. Neither can fight it, eyes wide looking terrified for the first time. They may have Delta blood, but they don’t have an aura to even resist me. Kaley’s nose starts to bleed.
“You will never be anyone’s Luna. You will both pay for your crimes against this pack.”
I turn and we all walk away. I’m still too numb to cry and like Lil said, we have sh*t to do.
Weeks go by, nothing is right. Everyone is tense and the whole pack is reacting to the tension. We keep our distance as best we can, but my team and the guys cross paths regularly during training and running patrols.
Oliver has tried to talk to me a couple times, but I just head in the other direction. He knows things shouldn’t be like this. I’m pretty sure he’s the only one who saw through whatever enchantment was on the packhouse. I just can’t do it, he is the only one who sees the problem for what it is. The rest are just angry and aggressive, but we still don’t know what they believe.
The Elite warriors fully run pack training now. None of the ranked guys show up at all, not even Delta Kyle, and I haven’t seen Sierra since the night we left and I can’t get a hold of her, but that doesn’t stop me from messaging her and Mina every night. With no response from any of them.
I am surrounded by people and have a job to do and I still feel so isolated and alone. The depression is taking its toll. Jena and I have started staying together again. The nightmares are so bad that we sleep in the same bed most nights holding hands. We need our guys, but something magical is keeping them from us and we can’t risk being pulled in.
I was able to link Osiston and fill him in on what is happening. He said he will inform Alpha Reggie, but they aren’t going to send anyone and possibly cause suspicion. He agrees something magical is going on and will have Elena work on it.
I have been trying to use my magic and even that seems to be tied to how I feel and I can’t make the most basic things work. I am sitting out by the little fire pit in the backyard of the house we are staying in, just trying to move the ashes around.
“You don’t really want to and the magic knows it. It won’t work for you like this.”
I jump from my spot on the ground, fully ready to fight Oliver.
He has his hands up. “I just want to talk, I need to know your version of why you left. I know what I saw and what we are being told are two different things. “You aren’t a traitor, but you are more powerful than you let on. Talk to me Bitty.”
He walks next to me and sits facing the unlit pit.
I wave my hand flippantly, but it ignites, much to my surprise and Oliver’s.
“Hey! Some warning next time please.”
He adjusts back to a sitting position now that the flames are at a normal height.
“I didn’t do that.”
I whisper. “I mean, I didn’t mean to do that.”
