“I think that’s the point though. You finally saw the ripple when the three of us literally sat on you and made you stay still.”
He starts laughing again. “It’s not always on you to fix things and if we are truly equal, then you have to let us help you, let us in on your thoughts. This is our pack now, not just Cam and Kota’s. All four of us carry the same weight, it’s already been a lot and we are just getting started. The answer to every problem is ‘how are WE going to fix it?’ If I have to believe that I belong here as much as the rest of you, then you have to believe you aren’t alone anymore and Cam and Kota have to believe they are enough.”
Both twins gasp and turn to look at him.
“Don’t act surprised. Bitty’s right, we are here cause we aren’t done hashing sh*t out. She’s still stuck in her own world, I am still in my Gamma mindset and the two of you are wondering why you needed two more people as Alpha’s to run this pack. Well, I don’t know if you noticed, but our mate is so special and rare that she’s a magnet for the worst kinds of trouble. There was no way only one or two mates were going to survive the never ending torrent of bullsh*t coming our way and she’s so much more than a Luna.”
“I’m actually glad there are three of us.”
Cam starts and I have no idea where he’s going with this. “I would feel inadequate next to her if it was just me or me and Kota. At least with the three of us, she lives on a pedestal and we can be compared more equally.”
The tube shimmers some more.
“Oh, yes!! I totally saw that!” Dakota goes to move and I grip his hair. To keep him in place. Our insecurities are still there, not quite resolved. We kept talking, letting out all our doubts, many I didn’t realize any of these guys carried around and we would be readdressing later. As the funnel dies down we the the surrounding area, it’s very dark. If we didn’t have our wolf’s sight we wouldn’t be able to see our hands in front of our faces.
“I wonder where everyone is.”
Dakota whispers.
“I wonder if everyone is okay.”
Oliver adds.
“I hope Mike is strung up in a cell.”
Cam grumbles.
“I want to know how long we were really in there.”
Dakota goes to move but I stop him again. “Wait, we don’t know what happened. We can’t just blindly walk around. There could be traps or guards that aren’t friendly if things didn’t go our way.”
“What are you thinking, Tiny?”
“It’s obviously been long enough that there isn’t someone standing watch. I’m actually hoping that’s a good thing.”
“You’re thinking that if our side somehow lost they would have put a guard here.”
Cam’s following my train of thought. “Yes, but there are plenty of places around here to hide out too, so we can’t be too comfortable either.”
“You’d think one of your team would be here too. They are more protective of you than we are.”
Oliver smiles at me.
“I know my team and they wouldn’t leave us without some kind of protection or overwatch. Nathaniel knows we’re out, but the question is, do we sit here and wait or head towards the packhouse? We don’t know what’s happened or what could still be going on. If we leave this spot will we be putting others in danger?”
“Can you still link them now that your warrior link is gone and you are marked?” Dakota asks.
“I don’t know, I didn’t even think to try.”
I take a deep breath and feel for that link in my head. I can feel Jena, but that might be because she’s mated to my brother and a part of my pack now. I search deeper for Lil, Nathaniel and Wyatt. I’m nervous as I search for them and almost give up, but then I get it. A spark, that little light that lets me know Lil is there trying to push through. I reach for it in my mind and tug. ***”Oh sh*t, Midge!!! Where the f*ck have you four been?****
***”We didn’t go anywhere. We got locked in that tornado thing and it took us a little bit to get out.****
***”Uh, no. Your windstorm took off with you like Dorothy. You’ve been gone for weeks.****
“Lil, says we’ve been gone for weeks.”
A chorus of expletives come from all my guys.
***”Where are you guys? Is it safe for us to head to you?”***
***”Yeah, we’re good. Lots to tell you. We’re all at the packhouse, everyone’s gonna be so excited to see you.”
***”We’re on our way.”***
