Filed To Story: Secret with Betas Daughter: Skylar Story Series
Why am I even considering this? None of them deserve my help or consideration right now. So why can’t I just storm out like my logical brain wants me to?
I groan. “Fine. I need some things so I can work. Some of us do spend every waking minute taking care of this pack, not just pandering to the princess’ every want and need. If I am in this room, I am his protection detail, no one comes in without my say so. I still want the Gamma here for the Luna. Beta Daniel can be your go between to get you guys set up to run the pack. Mateo should begin working as your Beta as well learning the ropes since you guys are all being thrust into this sooner than expected. I want two of my warriors at the doors to this wing and at the hospital entrance. If you can’t handle my demands, then I am leaving.”
Cam and Kota don’t even look at each other before they nod.
“Whatever you need, Skylar.”
Cam says, and it sounds so patronizing, but it’s what I asked for.
“I think we are going to need a bigger room. I’ll just step out and…”
“You stay put! You do not leave this room until Gamma Brett is with you. No offense but I don’t even want you going to the bathroom alone. This is the perfect time for anyone to try and attack you and if you get hurt or worse, the shock and pain might kill the Alpha.”
Her hand flies to her mouth. Clearly this is not something any of them considered based on all of their looks. I just roll my eyes.
“The most efficient way to kill an
Alpha is to take out the Luna first. This is why get paid the big bucks and apparently get no sleep. You aren’t my first Luna detail and it can get pretty bad. I would like to avoid the worst possible scenarios.”
I rub my eyes. “Are you going to get everyone set or should I figure that out?”
“Gamma Brett is on his way and Beta Daniel is out in the lobby waiting for orders from the boys.”
Luna Ava chimes in. “What else do you need?”
“I will contact my team and they can coordinate with Delta Kyle and get warriors on the doors. I also would like Lenny here in the hospital to prepare food for all of you. She’s the only one I trust and having her here will make it easier to protect her. Have Beta Daniel go and get her. Everyone close to you will need to be protected from whatever the f*ck you all got yourselves into.”
I am not holding back my absolute irritation any more I guess. I am also a masochist and I want to see if they put a warrior on Kaley.
*** Alright, sh*t just continues to go down. I’m stuck at the hospital until the Alpha wakes up. Or until I can find a legitimate reason to just walk out. This is what I need…”***
I go through what I need from my team. They help me fill in any blanks and get a solid plan set. They divvy up and take on tasks like we always do on a mission. This well oiled machine just operates and I couldn’t be more thankful for all of them just going with everything that has been thrown at them since we got here.
***”You are too f*cking nice. I would have punched them both in the teeth.***
***”So, helpful Lil. Elena said to go with my gut, and I am. Let me know when everyone is set. I also have
Lenny coming to the hospital to keep her safe and so she can take care of the Alpha family personally. You guys are out of luck for prepared meals for a little while. I would also like a laptop with all your best access, Nathaniel. I’m going to need to have something to do while I am stuck here or I might bust some heads. I might as well be on surveillance duty.”***
Of course they all laugh at me, I’m usually too antsy to do the sit down surveillance stuff. This is going to suck.
***”I’ll sneak you in some whiskey, Midge. That will take the edge off.”***
***”Or make me more violent. I appreciate the thought, Wyatt.”
11***
***”So does that mean the birthday barbeque is off?”*** Jena asks.
****
I guess, unless I get some kind of ‘get out of jail’ card, I’m stuck here. And we are all on mission right now. So it’s not great timing.”* ***”On it!”***
***”Wait! Lil, what does that mean?”***
None of them answer me. F*ckers.
I go back to sitting on the cot and lean my back up against the wall, pull my knees up to my chest and just stare at the Alpha. The three of them want me here, fine, but I don’t have to play nice and friendly. I want to link Sam and Oliver, but the twins don’t know that I can yet and I don’t want to slip them information they shouldn’t or wouldn’t know. They do deserve an update from me though.
I rub my hands over my face. I have to play this right and to do that I need to know what kind of hold Kaley and Kevin really have on them, but I don’t know if these three will be able to tell me anything anyway. I decide to let Oliver and Sam know what’s going on, but make sure they know they can’t interfere unless they get directions from the twins, Luna or their dads. Naturally they were both pissed.
“My team is organizing.”
I decided to start a conversation. Luna Ava has pulled up a chair next to the Alpha and is holding his hand and stroking his cheek. The way she looks at him is so amazing. I know it isn’ just the mate bond pulling her towards him. They are so in love it makes me jealous. I can’t wait for someone to look at me like that. “What is the status of the Gamma and Lenny? My warriors are in place and haven’t seen them yet.”
I don’t take my eyes off the Alpha.
