My Secret, My Bully, My Mates by Miss L

Skylar POV I am roasting. That is the first thing I think when my brain starts to cback to life and I am sore, but not where I thought I would be. I slowly open my eyes expecting the twins to be smothered around me, but it's not citrus and cinnamon that I smell. What I smell is sweeter like a tulip, then I get a hint of fresh cut grass, then pine.

I am not in my room or the twin's room. I slowly open my eyes and I can't move my head and almost jump for a second when another scent hits me. Jena's sharp and warm nutmeg scent. The spice blends with the others surroundingand I am almost overwhelmed.

I can feel my heartrate pick up. I know Jena is here with me, but where is here? Search the (Find)website on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

"Jena. Hey Jena. I can't move. Where are we?" "Huh?" Her groggy voice comes through the link, but she's awake enough to respond through the link.

I can hear rustling next toand then a sharp intake of breath. She's stuck too.

"Who else is here? I don't recognize any of these scents, but they don't smell hostile. My wolf says we're safe." "Mine too." I reply, but given our history Jena and I need to see, feel and hear that we are actually safe. "Okay, I have a headache now, are you two okay?" Mateo's voice comes low across the room that I am now realizing is dark.

"Mateo, what's going on? Where are we?" I try to keep the panic down, he's here too, we aren't alone. "You're in one of the guest rooms, we couldn't get your new fan club to let go of you two." He chuckles. "You have no idea how complicated that twas to get you guys through the trapdoor. Speaking of which, we need to talk about that design, Shorty. We should be able to carry an injured, or in this case, unconscious, pack member in and out of the tunnels." I sat up slowly, not wanting to disturb the little pup next to me, Lily. "That was actually the prreason for the design. The only reason to go to the packhouse would be to harm the Alpha and Luna or to kidnap them or someone from the Alpha's family. So it worked exactly as it was supposed to. If a pack member was so injured they needed to be carried, they could ultimately stay in the tunnels safely, heal and get the medical attention they needed and then join the fight again if possible. It is designed to have supplies, we just haven't gotten that far yet. We had to work in secret, obviously we did our jobs well." "Yep, I think Cam and Kota are going to have swords with you. They aren't used to things slipping under their noses." "Luna Ava, Delta Gwen and I are sure that someone in our ranks is double crossing us and they are close to you guys, we have to prove it though, and like everything else around here that is proving to be the hard part." He stretches and I really look around for the first tnoticing I am surrounded on all sides, by pups and Jena. We are lucky the Luna keeps king sized beds in all of the guest rooms. I have Lily right next to me, little Stephanie is on my other side and Ronan is sprawled awkwardly across my legs, but he is out cold, so he must be comfortable.

Jena has Sebastian across her chest, which explains why she hasn't sat up yet. And Juliana on her other side. I look back at Mateo and he is wincing through stretching.

"Did you sleep in that chair?" "Yeah. Neither of you have been away from us for a night. I still don't know why she has them, but Jena has nightmares and I didn't want her to wake up panicking from whatever memories and then also from being in a different room. You clearly weren't prepared to wake up here either. I don't know if I have ever heard your heart rate go that fast before." There's a knock on the door before any of us can respond. Dakota pokes his head in.

"I thought I heard voices, are you guys alright? The healer is here to check the pups out, but they are under strict orders from my mom to check both you and Jena too. Don't argue. We let you all sleep as long as possible, but they are done with everyone else now." "Okay, just give us a minute to get everyone up and around, where do they want to see us?" "Down in the living room, we have a makeshift hospital set up. It was faster for sof the warriors to chere to be treated and find their kids." I nod, "Alright give us ten, unless you want to help." I give him a rye smile. I've seen him play with the kids at training, but this is completely different.

He surprisesthough and walks right over and gives Ronan a little shake.

"Hey, bud let's go get you checked out okay? The healers want to make sure you're nice and strong for the next battle." Ronan blinks a few times and then nods and crawls off the bed to stand next to him. "Giveyour little clinger." He points to Lily. "I'll carry her down. She wouldn't leave you last night. It was hard to get the two of you out of those secret tunnels of yours. Even with both of you being small." He tries to pinwith a look and Lily didn't hesitate to go to him and wrap her tiny arms around his neck "Like I told Mateo, that was the point. You ready?" I look at Stephanie then back at Jena who was finally able to get Sebastian up and off of her. Juliana holding her other hand.

They are all still really little. I think Ronan is the oldest at five. They are all first born kids of warriors explaining why they have no siblings yet.

We walk out into the hallway and Cam is waiting for us." You're awake! Let's go, Lenny wants to make sure sfood she gets to feed you so before it's all gone. The warriors have been eyeing your pancakes all morning. He reaches down and picks up Ronan, giving him a toss before moving him to his back. "Can I have a ride too?" Sebastian asks, looking at everyone.

"Gotcha!" Mateo snatches him up and flips him over his shoulder, Sebastian squealing in delight.

We all head down and into the open living room where there are three om up and Various mobilement, tape, garbage, medical herbs, slaves, creams, you nit, are strewn about. "Oh! Well isn't this a sight?" Luna Ava stops in her tracks looking at us, her hand on her chest. "Wha..? Huh? Oh. I see." Alpha Lucas walks in behind her, a huge smile breaking across his face.

I'm not sure if any of my other friends caught the conversation before J Luna Ava got our attention. Det's get you all checked then we can have breakfast on the patio. Lenny makes the best pancakes." The check-ups went as expected. The kids were more anxious about the 'bad guys' and if they would be coming back and how soon their parents could cand get them.
