My Secret, My Bully, My Mates by Miss L

"Midge! What are you doing? Tis of the essence here!" "Lil, your timing is terrible, you know that?" "Why? You banging your Gamma?" "You know I'm not, asshole." "Then move your ass, you can ogle your boy later." I take a deep breath and press my forehead to Oliver's chest. "Can we table this? Lil is being insistent that what she has is tsensitive. I also feel like this is a conversation for all of us to have together and shots will be needed." "Shots? You have grown up haven't you?" "I had to learn how to keep up with college kids and stay safe, so yeah a little. We should maybe sneak out and do the bonfire tonight." "Why not? Let's go see what your team found." "We really should go clean up first." SeaR*ch the FindNøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

"Nah. They interrupted something, they should know that. It will also help to spread srumors at school." He winks at me.

I just shake my head, picking up my book, packing it back into my bag and we head out. He won't let us walk though and heads towards a black jeep.

"Is this yours?" He nods. “When did you get this? I thought you guys went everywhere in the truck." I copy him and climb in as he starts it up and pulls out of the driveway.

"We still take the truck when we're together, but we have been divided a lot over the last year really getting into our individual training and jobs. Like I said, lots of changes. I don't know if all they guys are going to cclean, you just need to know we were all in a dark place for a while after you left. For me, it was getting to you so late. The twins actually didn't speak...to each other... for almost a month. No one knows what happened there, but they stopped sharing a room too, and I've never seen them sleep separately in our lives. They did until you got back." "Yep, drinks are needed, especially if we are going to trade horror stories like that." We pull up to the school and head into the office. We get strange looks from the few people in the hallways as we enter, making us both laugh.

For only two people. Lil and Jena have a flurry of things going on. Papers and blueprints are spread out everywhere.

"What is all this?" I ask, heading straight to the desk tracing my fingers on a stack of blueprints..

"We have them and we will be able to get the house built in a month. Cunningham is using pack funds to pay for this big ass house." She points at plans in front of her. “That he wants and he has no actual permissions from the Alpha or anyone that should have signed off on it. The original report shows that there was suspicion of foul play and arson, but no one followed through on the investigation and everyone just skipped to rebuilding the house." She hasn't made eye contact yet, she is back to typing on her computer.

"That's strange, I don't remember anyone saying anything about foul play and the guys and I were all a part of the teams that took care of the damage and cleared out the areas to make room for the rebuild. Cunningham's house was one of five that were really damaged to the point that the families needed to vacate." Oliver supplied.

Both of them looked up at us finally with different expressions on their faces. "Not banging your Gamma, my ass! What were you two up to?" "I told you magic can get a bit messy.” "That's what we're calling now?" She laughs.

"You know none of us can do anything like that, stop." "Like what? I want to actually hear you say it." Why my friend insists on embarrassingI don't know. "Your Gamma is a hotty, none of us would blyou." My eyes go wide. "Stop teasing her and her Gamma. Even he's blushing.” Jena chuckles.

I clear my throat then ask, "Where did the other four families go? We didn't kick them out of rooms at the packhouse did we?" Trying to change the subject.

"No, their houses were fixed within six months. They all stayed at the packhouse while we rebuilt one house at a tand vacated as soon as they could. The Cunninghams project was the last to be started. Kevin said he was being generous and allowing the lower, more needy pack members to be taken care of first." Oliver rolled his eyes, going with the subject change. "He just used it to stall, we all know that. As people moved out of the packhouse they slowly took over more rooms on the guest floor, then there were constant problems with plans, or inspections, or materials. Kevin actually spent about two weeks going through each piece of lumber that was delivered and if he found anything wrong he would send the whole delivery back. We had a lot of angry suppliers. My dad had to placate them and then finally kick Kevin off the construction site because people were quitting." "So, that begs the question 'why would it take more than a year for one house when four others were completed in six months?' Why did no one else catch this, or allow it in the first place?" Lil asks.

"I honestly think that they make so much noise and cause so many headaches, that having them focus on the rebuilding of their house was a break for so many people. While being a massive irritation for others. And Kevin was incharge of the rebuild project so any complaints about him didn't go anywhere." Oliver shrugs.

"But you guys can't even relax at hwith them around. It used to be a safe space to be normal away from pack members and now you don't even have that. They are everywhere, trying to insert themselves in everything. I mean, just listening to Kevin try to insert his opinion about training programs when he doesn't even train himself is painful." I don't know why I'm pleading with them, they get it.

"That's what we are going to fix." Jena looks like Christmas cearly. "He expects the pack to pay for the full rebuild of his house since it was damaged in an attack Then an recommendations for 'necessary improvements' were made. Recommendations that cfrom an uncertified inspector Kevin hired personally, mind you. And before you ask, yes I have concrete proof. With that knowledge alone he isn't eligible to have the pack pay for the extra expenses. So we are going to build his house as originally planned, when it was torn down." "How long will that take? And how do we keep Kevin from stalling again?" I ask.

"We take over the project. Oliver, I need you to reach out to the company who is in charge of construction. We need a meeting tomorrow morning, right after m training. I also need to meet with Alpha Lucas to get a couple of things ve approved. If we can get everything finalized it should take a month if we all help with labor to get framing and walls up. I know everyone I talked to is completely over this project and are all hands on deck to be done with the Cunningham's BS. They have been hateful and rude, blaming problems on workmanship and incompetence. They have burned bridges thinking they can because they have the Alpha in their pocket." X
