Chapter 94 – Secret with Betas Daughter: Skylar Story Series

Posted on March 16, 2025 by admin

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

I’m completely lost in my own thoughts when a flash of yellow sits down beside me, Marnie, followed by Jeanie in bright blue and they both lean into me, but looking around skittish like they don’t want to get caught talking to me. Which is probably true.

“We cannot fail the patrol thingy. What do we need to do? Today was awful, but I can’t have a bad report and if Kaley’s dad can’t rig it for us, you have to help us.”

Marnie”s eyes look almost wild in her real panic.

And they keep looking around to see who’s watching us, not actually making eye contact with me.

“Umm.”

“Please? We know we are terrible and we are the last people that you should help, but we can’t fail again.”

Jeanie pants at me. “We don’t even care about Kaley, she set us up.”

“I guess, I could give you some pointers, but it’s really hard since you guys don’t actually participate in regular training. Your conditioning isn’t where it should be.”

“We will literally do anything.”

Marnie flashes her hopeful crazy- looking smile at me. “Like show dress to get guys to notice you or how to get them excited or you the best way to go down on…”

“NOPE! Nope, nope, nope. Stop right there. I have no idea what your skills are, but I want none of that.

Make sure you get a good night’s rest, drink water and eat well today. That should help with the fatigue I saw in Marnie this morning. Wear dark colors, the idea is to not be seen in that situation. And show up and participate in training every day. After that it’s about being consistent in your training. You need your cardio and strength to get through this.”

This is so weird, I have no idea what to make of this situation at all. I’m talking fast, I just want them to get away from me.

“Okay, Thanks!”

They say together, popping up from the seats next to me and leaving just as quickly as they came.

“What was that all about?”

Oliver’s timber growled behind me. I stiffen, but don’t look up.

I can’t deny the calm that washed over me as he came closer, and of course the irritation that followed at the realization. I took a deep breath, taking in the honey scent, resisting the urge to roll my eyes and turned to him. It’s so strange that such a sweet smell comes from such a menacing person. If I didn’t know him, I wouldn’t want to cross his path on a good day with the way school his face into an indifferent mask that borderlines hostility.

“Sam told them that Sierra and I were evaluating their performances during patrols and they came to ask for help. I guess they are worried about failing if Kaley’s dad can’t rig anything in their favor. They’ve probably never had to truly work for something before”

I shrug, turning to put my book back in my bag.

“Huh. You need to eat something, you are not gaining weight fast enough and you are tiny enough as it is.”

He slides a tray with a sandwich, chips, veggies, fruit and water on it towards me, then turns and just leaves.

I just blink and take another deep breath and try to remember that he is taking care of me in his own caveman way. It’s a sign of him trying to mend fences that he came over in the first place and as much as I want to throw it away to show 1 am still angry with them and I don’t want to prove he is right.

But I am hungry and the doc said I wasn’t eating enough for my activity level, so I eat everything, quickly, then get up to throw my stuff out and head to our next class without a backward glance. The presence of six bodies behind me tells me I have a full escort this time.

The next couple days are more of the same mundane routine, but I really don’t mind routine. Sometimes with all the chaos, having expected things happen the way they are supposed to is calming and reassuring.

Marnie took my advice and while she wasn’t any better, she wasn’t as big of a pain as she was on day one and she seems to be really trying. Sierra said something similar about Jeanie Friday morning.

“So after training tomorrow morning we are getting ready in the Luna’s suite for the mating ball. You have zero choices in this matter and I don’t want to hear about it. We also have to be ready by 7pm because Martha wants to see us at the diner first before we head over to the ball.”

Sierra looks over at me like I might explode at her for telling me what our plans are for this stupid dance. The casual way she just throws more things we have to do before actually attending the ball is wearing my nerves though. She has talked of nothing else all day and I don’t think we have discussed the same thing about the ball twice as we walk between classes. I am also doing the mental math and do not understand the amount of time she has allotted to get ready either.

I have made my peace with going with her and the guys and I have determined myself to have a good time, even if it is for Sierra’s sake alone. I can see her almost vibrating with excitement about the whole ordeal. We have one more class for the day and then I can get to the gym. Sam, Mateo and Sierra have been taking turns ‘hanging’ out with me there.

After what happened last time no one, including Luna Ava and Delta Kyle trust me in there by myself. None of us really talk, just work. The twins and Oliver have yet to take their turn though and I can’t decide if I am more happy or disappointed in the amount of space they are giving me. | Tonight was Sierra’s turn, she asked if we could use the packhouse gym for convenience, and the topic returned to the ball. This time we are discussing the after party that seems to be happening at the packhouse. We apparently have to have a different outfit for this party than the dresses we are wearing to the dance.

“The Luna has us covered though. She told me this morning that our ‘after- dresses’ will be hanging in your room and we should be able to quickly doa wardrobe change before anyone notices we’re missing.”

She keeps rambling as my eyebrows rise farther into my hairline and | am momentarily stuck mid squat.

“Are you serious? I am already wearing one dress that you chose for me. Why does there have to bea second monkey suit?”

“First, monkey suits are for the boys. Second, I don’t argue with the Luna.”
