Three scents hit me as I approach my door. “Are you all going to shadow me now?” I ask irritated, opening it.
“Hey, to my knowledge I didn’t do anything wrong, so explain or relax, Bitty.”
Oliver crosses his massive arms, tattoos flexing making him look like the scary protector he is.
“It’s nothing. I’m not in a great mood this morning, sorry.”
It’s the best he’s going to get right now, because I still feel the unhelpful sensation that he is only here with me by force.
“We wanted to tell you that we finalized everything for our dad’s celebration. We didn’t want to do it on Mateo’s birthday. Reggie agrees.”
Cam starts.
“We are going to do it in the morning and want you to sit with us and mom. I think other than mom, you were his favorite person and you should help us send him back to the Goddess.”
Kota finishes the statement.
I had the very dark thought ‘I already did’ float through my mind, but I am keeping that to myself. I don’t want them to have more ammo for thinking a traitor now. Instead, said “Sure.”
Then walked past them, down the stairs and headed toward the kitchen. Elena is there helping to get things ready to take over to the school. She said she could add some things to their food to counter some basic spells that were probably cast on them.
“Here’s some breakfast Skylar, eat up. No more losing weight for you.”
Lenny scolds me and I roll my eyes playfully at her.
“Okay! I’m here to help!” I groan as the screech filters in from the front door. I head over to Elena and Lenny packing up totes full of supplies as far from the hallway entrance as I could be. “What can your future Luna help with today?” She asks, walking in the room like we aren’t in the middle of preparing for war.
“You aren’t the future Luna and you can help Lenny carry supplies to the school. Our new residents need them.”
Oliver says not looking at her.
“That’s Omega stuff. I was thinking more along the lines of signing documents or planning for the party after the Alpha’s celebration.”
She smiles as if she is brilliant.
“We are about to be under attack. There are no Omega’s here to help and all pack members should be willing to participate in giving aid to people who come to us in need anyway.”
Cameron looks at her like he’s never seen her before.
“The only people who are here are warriors who stayed to fight and protect the pack. If you weren’t planning on fighting, I don’t know why you chose to stay instead of evacuating.”
Dakota shook his head. “No one said anything about a party either, we don’t have time or supplies for that.”
“What about the ball?” She actually sounded horrified. “We’re still having the ball after the trials right?”
I had to step in here, she’s an idiot and I feel dumber being in the same room. “No, the trials were bullsh*t to begin with and we lost our Alpha due to equipment that was sabotaged.”
I pin her with a glare. “All focus is making sure our warriors and lands survive the fight coming at us. So either be helpful or lock yourself in your house until it’s all over so no one trips on your being in the way.”
She growls at me and starts to say something. “She’s right Kaley. If you aren’t going to fight you will get yourself and or someone else hurt trying to protect you. Go home.”
Cameron repeated his words from last night.
“If it is that dangerous, I should be here in the packhouse where I will be the most protected and the safest. I will just go grab some things and be right back.”
“No! Go home and stay there. You will be in the way here. We are trying to save this pack, there is no room for you here.”
Oliver starts to raise his voice. “Didn’t Mateo just find his mate? I will just take her room since she doesn’t need it.”
She shrugs and smiles, thinking she found a work around.
“First, where did you get your information? Second, there isn’t a room available.”
I responded.
“Everyone in the pack talks when someone gets their mate.”
