“I did not orchestrate the bad situations, but I did influence the reactions and lack of actions towards your situations. I am sorry, but I needed to know if you were worthy.”
“F*ck you! You can take your disembodied voice and f*ck right the f*ck off.”
“I understand your feelings might be more harsh towards me, but do know that my intentions have always been good. I want to save as many of my innocent pups as I can and you are the only way.”
“Are you going to tell me how to win in this war that we have been flying blind in for years. Or do I just get to keep making things up and finding out what works?”
“Your body and mind will be ready soon and I won’t need to explain anything, you will know what to do when the time comes. For now, your mates are getting worried and they need to see that you are alright. I will speak to you again soon.”
“What in the hell is going on?” That question is gravely as it comes out of my actual mouth.
“Oh thank the Goddess! I don’t thinkl could have taken another day. I thought we hurt you Sweetness.”
“What happened?” I try to roll over, but I am being held in place by a massive arm and leg holding me down.
“You’ve been asleep for days, Love.”
I tilt my head and can see Cam seated in a chair next to the bed. I appear to be in the center, with Oliver wrapped around me like a twist tie. “You were fine the first day and we just let you sleep, taking turns to stay with you.”
“The second day you broke out in a sweat and had the kind of fever that made your whole body turn red.”
Dakota continues the story. “We even carried you to the bath and dunked your body in an ice bath, you didn’t move a muscle. We only knew you were okay because your breathing never changed.”
“Then you decided that you didn’t have enough party tricks so you decided to turn into a glowstick.”
Oliver grumbles into my hair.
“What does that even mean?”
He shifts me and I notice my muscles still don’t want to work right. He turns me to face him.
“It means that your body started to glow, but from under your skin. Gentry said it was probably whatever enhancements you were supposed to get when you mated. So we waited and worried. You did drink for us, which must just be your body’s natural self preservation.”
“We started taking shifts to keep an eye on you. Yesterday, the three of us all collapsed and when we came to, there were some differences.”
Dakota says playfully.
“What do you mean?”
“Just tell me you liked Oliver’s tattoos. You thought they were sexy right?”
“What are you babbling about?” I roll my eyes as he moves into my view, pulling his shirt off of his head.
“OH SH*T! What happened to you?” I try to sit up but my body won’t move. “Oliver, let me up. I want to see.”
“I’m not holding you down Bitty. That’s the problem, you really haven’t moved much. I don’t know if it’s because you’ve been sleeping, your new powers or all the things we did to you. Maybe a combination.”
I look back to Dakota and then Cam, who also peels off his shirt. He literally has to peel it, like it doesn’t. fit anymore. I gasp. “Oliver got his over time, how in the hell did you. two manage to do that in days. Wait, how many days? I feel like Lam sleeping through this whole war.
Maybe no one needs me at all.”
I say half joking to myself.
They are both in black pants, that’s all. They are bigger, more muscular. They already took up a ton of space, now it’s going to be worse. The tan skin of their arms and upper chest is covered in tribal tattoo artwork. They look mouth watering.
“Apparently whatever spell you have over us decided that you preferred Oliver’s tattoos and we all needed to match.”
Dakota laughs looking down at himself. “I actually have gotten used to them now. I see the appeal. I’m just glad I woke up like this instead of having to sit through them actually being inked on.”
I smile. “Is that the only thing that is different? I thought we were supposed to get new powers, more powers, whatever. I feel like a guinea pig just waiting to see what each experiment results.”
I really want to move, but my body is heavy. I guess that’s a good sign though, I can feel my own heaviness.
“Apparently no one can tell the three of us apart anymore.”
Cam says. “I mean that isn’t unusual for us,” He points between him and Dakota. “But now with the eye color, the tattoos and the size change, even mom doesn’t know who is who and she was pretty good at guessing when there were only two to pick from. I think three is messing with her head. She kept giving us funny looks all day yesterday.”
