Filed To Story: Secret with Betas Daughter: Skylar Story Series

“It’s hard to sleep when you guys are arguing right above my head. Are we free to move around the packhouse now? Osiston said they would let us know when we could come out of the lockdown.”

I stood and stretched. That was some of the best and longest sleep I’ve had in forever.

“He told you his name?! The rest of us get to call him Warrior or Sir. And, yes, I do have to leave with my father, but we will be in touch. This situation Is unusual and until we figure out who the target is or who the intruder is, we will have to keep working together. The castle is only a couple hours from here by car and 45 minutes by boat, so we could be here quickly if you need us.”

“You are the second person to ask me about Warrior Osiston’s name.”

I yawn. “Does he really not allow anyone to use it?”

Skipping right past the jealousy in Kota’s voice. “Do you know when you will be back this way? Or, well, I guess the guys are coming to you this summer for training. So it will probably be after that at the earliest with all of the things going on now.

That will be weird to not have any of you around.”

It finally dawned on me that, at some point they will all be leaving, Sierra included.

“Warrior Brogan, usually goes by his last name, if he lets you call him by aname that is. My father occasionally calls him by his first name, which is the only reason I know it. He really introduced himself with his first name?”

He sounds shocked.

I just rolled my eyes and headed toward the elevators.

“Can we really go eat? You were right Cam, I am starving.”

Cam gives me alittle smile at the acknowledgement when I pass him. Everyone shuffles to join me, the elevators ding and we all pile in. Kota pulls me back towards one of the corners and places me directly in front of him, wraps an arm around my waist and locks my back to his chest. Cam stands next to me and grabs my hand, interlocking our fingers.

Oliver stands in front of me and Mateo in front of Cam so I am completely boxed in. I’m glad I’m not claustrophobic since I am barely taller than their elbows. I can’t see a thing. I resist the urge to roll my eyes and huff, it’s a real struggle though. I am fully capable of protecting myself. The Luna’s, who are probably just as equally skilled at fighting, should be the main focus, not me.

When we get to the first floor there is a steady hum of commotion. Clearly everyone has been released from the lockdown and is in need of a quick meal and to get outside. Our wolves don’t like to be cooped up like this. At least we all got to be together, I feel bad for mates who were separated or parents and kids who were separated overnight.

We all grabbed food and headed out back, but instead of going to one of the patio tables, I headed straight towards the Luna’s garden maze. There aren’t any tables back here, but most people won’t go back here and we can get a little freedom from the commotion of the packhouse while still getting to be outside. | head straight toward my shady spot, with the hammock. I’m not dumb enough to sit in the hammock though, knowing the guys are going to want to sit with me and I will not tolerate them breaking my favorite reading spot.

“How long have you been hiding this spot?” Sierra sits next to me. We all dig in like we haven’t eaten in weeks. This might be the equivalent for the guys who are used to full meals all of the time. The never ending supply of PB and J sandwiches we lived on yesterday were not enough. “Luna Ava has had it forever, she put the hammock up a few years ago when she kept finding me back here reading.”

I shrug at her. “It was always a quick place to get away from dad when he was in a mood. I turned my attention to Xander who followed us in and quickly changed the subject. “When are you guys taking off I have to make sure I find Warrior Nickolas and Osiston before you all leave.”

“Once everyone is done eating, I think. The guys are packing everything up now. Warrior Brogan was asking about you earlier, said you had a conversation to finish. Xander cocked an eyebrow at me and I just laughed and rolled my eyes. “Are you going to explain, or just leave us all hanging?” ‘I can’t here, the walls might have ears, but he can tell you on your ride back” I wiggle my own eyebrows at him conspiratorially. His eyes glaze over for a brief second. “And, on that note, it is time for me to go. Walk me out?” He looks right at me. “Yeah.”

I move to stand up and everyone else does the same. I fight another eye roll and move forward to walk by Xander, wondering if they will ever let me be alone with him. “We are going to have to find a way for you to come out, even if it’s with with the guys. I know my mother would love to have you and you could see the torture we all go through each summer.”

He smiles at “That would be amazing, considering you are stealing all of my friends this summer. Even Sierra has to go home at some point.”

I pretend to pout, trying to give my best Sam impression. “Well then, we have to make it happen, since we will be the cause for that look” He smiles at me again and it lights up his whole face. I return it easily. I feel like we could be really good friends, if the guys stopped with their interfering jealousy. I’ll have to figure out how to give him my information before they leave.

“Little One, you are going to have to explain how you make such good friends and such annoying enemies.”

Osiston’s voice booms at me from the driveway. ‘I will when you explain why everyone keeps asking how and why I know your first name. “Wait! He gave you a nickname too?! Xander almost shouts. “That is a good question, and I can only tell you that my wolf decides Osiston completely ignores Xander. “What?! What does that even mean?” I’m right in front of him now, straining my neck to look up at him. “And can you squat or sit or something? This is ridiculous.”

He chuckles and squats in front of me and we are eye level. “You are special Little One, I will be seeing you agaln soon. “Can I give you something?” I ask and he looks at me skeptically. “Just give me your phone. | say exasperated, holding out my hand. He gives it over slowly. I plug in my information, save it and then flip to Xander’s contact and forward him the info. “There now we can communicate.”

I’m lookin at Osiston, but I’m speaking to Xander as his phone goes off. He looks at the notification and the largest grin splits his face, like a little boy on Christmas morning getting the first glimpse of presents. Alpha Reggie walks over with LunaAnne, “You really are something special. I can’t wait to see what you accomplish.”

He grips my shoulder in a manly way and then Luna Anne gives me a hug. “Keep in touch, sweet girl.”

She looks over my shoulder and smiles, hugging me one more time and then moving on to the guys, then Alpha Lucas and Luna Ava. Once everyone is packed up and on their way we start heading back into the packhouse and an unease sets in my stomach.

really need to run guys, can we just go to the arena for a little bit? please? I need a couple Of hours, we slept for a whole day.”

I look at each of them. “You don’t all have to come, but I can’t go by myself even if you would allow it. Luna Ava said not to do anything alone right now. please?” I shake my hands out to try and get rid of some of the jittery feeling. The closed in feeling is making me anxious. I don’t like feeling trapped, even if it’s for my own safety. “Why don’t the rest of you run along and Cam and Kota can help me, since she doesn’t need all of you to tag along with her. I left a few things up in my room and could use a couple of strong men to help me.”

Kaley’s high pitched voice cuts through like a dull knife. She’s strutting up in what should be a shirt, but she has pulled down to act as a very short dress. “You can both help me gather my things and then escort me to my house?’ She’s smiling at them like a stalker looks at a celebrity. “It will give us some quality time together too.”

She simpers. “What could you have possibly brought to the party that would require help from two guys?” Sam asks, not hiding his absolute distaste for her suggestion.

‘IA girl just needs a strong hand or two, that’s all_ And I would really appreciate the help.”

She flips her hair and flexes her eyes at Sam daring him to contradict her again. The problem is, she doesn’t seem to know Sam very well and he absolutely loves that Idnd of challenge. “Oh no, I totally understand, you need a schlep. Micah!! Hey, Micah, Come here a second!” Sam shouts over the crowd of people hanging outside the packhouse, I’m sure to catch a glimpse of the Alpha King leaving. Micah walks over slowly, eyeing us suspiciously. What’s up Sam)” “Kaley here needs some assistance with her things and you are a perfect man for the job. You know, always wanting to step in and put a hand on… I mean, lend a hand to Our female pack members. You can follow her up, grab her stuff and get her settled back at her house, right? Thanks man! Appreciate the help. We have our own assignments to get done. Sam turns with Sierra and starts to walk away, not even looking over his shoulder to see who is following. But none of us are dumb enough to stick around and let her try and wiggle her way into our group again.
