My Secret, My Bully, My Mates by Miss L

"I never really thought of that. She always talks about being Luna and we all just ignore her, but she has no idea what we actually do." Sam breathes out. "We have to get rid of her though. Do you know how hard it was just to cup here without her? She obviously knew that you have Lil and Jena up here. Thanks for ruffling those feathers, by the way. She tried to talk her way up here too. Even her dad tried to intervene saying we can't play favorites." "Technically speaking you guys aren't playing favorites, Midge is. It's Kaley's fault for being a b*tch." Lil shrugs. "How did you shut her down?" Jena asks.

"Dad actually interjected and Cunningham looked pissed, like he didn't expect Dad to side with us." Cam looks thoughtful.

"We did not hesitate though, slammed that door and ran. So you two are stuck up here tonight." Sam pointed to them." We are not opening that door for anything." We all laugh. "It's still kind of early, can we do a movie or something? I don't think we can get any more done here tonight." I gesture to the piles of papers we have.

"Yes, Tiny let's do a movie night." Cam says standing from the couch and reaches for my hands, but instead of helpingto my feet he throwsover his shoulder as I screech." Old habits, Tiny, it's tradition for movie night." 1/5 "You guys are stupid." I roll my eyes but smile as he walks us into the hallway.

I hear my friends laughing atuntil Jena's 'Oh sh*t' letsknow someone threw her over a shoulder. Mateo saunters out with her mumbling expletives about cavemen.

"You canywhere near me, beefcake, and I will punch you in the balls." Lil says to I assOliver. Sam is a big guy, but I wouldn't consider him a 'beefcake.' We head into the media room and get set up to watch an action movie. Thank the Goddess that Luna Ava keeps this room stocked with snacks and drinks so we really don't have to go anywhere. We all find places on the giant 'U' shaped couch and settle in. I actually made it through most of the movie before falling asleep. Something about these guys, I just feel warm and safe and my body and brain just shut down.

I woke up warm and snuggled with the now familiar cinnamon and citrus scent all around me. "Why do I even have a bed here?" I mumble into Kotas shirt. "I can count on one hand the amount of times I've used it." "Why do we have our own beds?" Cam shifts behind me.

"Another great question.” I roll over moving to follow Cam out of bed.

"Five more minutes Smalls." Kota snatchesback and I laugh as he cagesin his arms.

"Dakota, I need to use the bathroom and get ready for 2/5 training. The girls and I have stuff to get done at the school today. Let go and move your butt." I reach behindand slap the side of his buttcheek and hear a sharp intake of breath, then he jumps out of bed, almost dumpingto the floor. "What the hell?" Cam's smile is from ear to ear. "Apparently, he likes to be spanked." Then he winks at me.

I can feel all the blood rush to my cheeks. My face is on fire with embarrassment. "I'm gonna go get ready." I mumble running out his bedroom door and straight to my own room.

Once there I head straight for the bathroom to shower. I don't stop to grab clothes I just need to wash off the feeling of shor unease or whatever this is. I hate feeling uncomfortable around these guys and the moments always cat the worst times.

I walk out to my room wrapped in a towel and drying my hair with another, not really paying attention.

"Yes Little Bit! Nice legs!" "Oh, F*CK!" I jumped wrapping the towel around his throat while planting him face down on my bed. Causing Jena and Mateo to jump out of bed as well. "What are you doing in here?" "I was just making sure everyone was awake, we need to get going so we can beat Kaley out the door." He grunts under me. "Nice reflexes by the way. Do you use a towel as a weapon often?" Search the Find Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

3/5 “Just be glad she didn't have her blades on her. You'd be a shish-kebob right now.” Jena laughs at his expression as I let him up. "I'm going to jump in quick to wake up, givefive and we can go. Is Lil ready?" "Yeah, she used Kota's shower. You two might as well move your stuff up here. I mean if Luna Ava hasn't already." "We do seem to have clean outfits each day." Jena says, walking into the bathroom laughing.

"I feel like we are on a recon mission, trying to find entrance and exit points." Lil laughs over the mindlink as I peek out the door from the third floor stairwell.

The coast seems clear and it wouldn't matter if it wasn't. If she thought we had started sneaking around to avoid her, she would try that much harder to attach herself to the twins.

"That's our next project. We need to hack into the contractor's computer and find out what the hold up is on the ve the Gunningham's house. It's been a year. Even if they did start over from scratch, it should be done by now.

They need to quit stalling." "On it boss." Jena chirps back as we make our way down to the kitchen.

"Would you stop that? I am not your boss, Alpha." This tJena giggles out loud.

"Is it bad that I am jealous that I can't hear your 4/5 conversations?" Sam asks as we walk towards the island where Lenny has a pile of foil wrapped goodness for us.

"Yes. You and your FOMO are something special. But we have to move, creatures are stirring and we don't want to be here for that. Thank you Lenny! You are amazing!" I say running out the back door and the rest of my friends following.

We get halfway to the training grounds before I slow down and open one of my wraps. It is still steaming, filled with eggs and veggies, cheese and ham and I do not hesitate to devour it in about three bites.

"So how is it you could sense or smell her coming from a floor away, but you didn't noticein your room this morning and almost decapitated me?" Sam steps up next to me, eating and for once serious.

"I really wasn't expecting anyone other than Mateo and Jena to be there and your scent is already all over my room so it wasn't something that madewary or on alert. I am always on alert for her, it's like second nature now. I don't know if I could turn it off."

Training was far more effective this morning as we all are getting our bearings. After the e guys all divide to their various jobs for the day. Oliver and Mateo decide to escort us to the school to see how we are set up and if there is anything they can do to help.
