Chapter 82
When we talked about Heath having eyes and ears in my pack, we weren’t kidding. A text I wanted to ignore sat unread for two days before I finally relied. Not that it was needed. He didn’t ask questions. There was no request.
‘Flying into your pack on Friday, make sure you have everything ready.’
Groaning, I was now leaning against the pillar of the front porch of the pack house waiting for this bastard to drop from the sky like he usually did. I was glad my mom was currently working in town. He liked to harass her a little too much for my liking. Dad was standing against the door, his arms also crossed over his shoulder.
Sam was sitting in the swing and Kev was kicking it, trying to get it to tip over. Finally, Sam squeaked and I growled at the two of them.
“Would you two quit acting

I stood up from my chair, staring at him. My mind was trying to sort out what he was saying. He wasn’t here for me or for the pack. Heath was here for Skylar. I opened my mouth but no words came out. Luckily, Sam was a little more than willing to ask questions.“What? Why? I thought we could use her against her father? She has a ton of information right? Who the hell would take on that kind of job?”Heath shrugged. “I have some mercenaries in the area I trust. I needed to convene with them and give them the information. A few of my guys spotted her running in the National Park about an hour or so away. Apparently, she runs pretty religiously out there. Anyways, I just thought it would be best to nip it in the butt. Even if we used her, we could never fully trust her. I’d have to kill her eventually anyways.”Niru was howling in my head. ‘Say something you fucking idiot! We need to go! We need to warn her! Fu

The other two wolves left stepped back, now understanding that Skylar was far too much for them. Her head cocked to the side, watching them with fascination as they continued to try to step back. However, she stepped forward every step they took back. One of them tried to make a break for it but the air shifted and I felt the command fill the area. It was suffocating and I realized, it was her. She was the source of the intense command. This was so much more than just a powerful werewolf, or even powerful Alpha. The two mercenaries now moved toward her. With just a glance at their eyes, you could see they were fighting her against their will. She was forcing them to fight. Forcing them to finish what they started. I wanted to step forward but Niru held me back. There was a sliver of fear that wormed through him and then me. Fear of our own mate. It didn’t take long for her to dispatch the last two. Not once did she shift or even attempt to shift. She stood amongst the wolves she kill

It had been shocking going from the garage to the main floor but this room was too much. For a moment I thought I stepped through a portal to a medieval castle. The gothic style windows to the black walls were incredibly polarizing to the very white rest of the house. Even the bed was four poster carved wood, a covered top, and the black sheer fabric hanging off it. Somehow though, none of it looked tacky, which you would expect. It looked expensive and elegant.Walking over to her bed, I placed her gently on it. She was covered in dirt, leaves, and blood. I doubted she would appreciate being under the covers like that but also I wasn’t about to change her. Mate or not, we didn’t know each other and as Niru said, she was not of age. We had our lines. The fact that she had been sold off before her eighteenth birthday was disgusting enough.‘On par from what we have heard about Alpha Cross.’I hummed and checked her forehead. She w

Stepping back, I sat down on the chair. Skylar sat up slowly and looked around before her eyes fell back to me.“What are you doing here?”I cocked my head to the side. “I…brought you back. You passed out and you had a fever. Do you not remember…?”Her exasperated sigh filled the room. “Let me rephrase my question. What are you still doing here?”“I…” I cleared my throat when my pitch went a little higher than normal. “I wasn’t about to just leave you when you passed out. You were really weak. I wanted to make sure everything was okay.”She blinked at me a couple times and I could read her confusion loud and clear. I realized it might be because no one else has shown her care. That made my heart sink. Skylar swung her legs over the edge of the bed and when she got up, she started to sway. I quickly stood and grabbed her arm, steadying her. The look she g

“Now that we have introductions out of the way, sit down so you’re not standing there like an awkward turtle.”I was struggling not to laugh as she ordered me around. Skylar went back into the kitchen and I sat down in the chair at the kitchen island. She filled a pot with boiling water and set it on the stove.“Do you have any allergies or stuff that you refuse to eat?” Skylar didn’t look at me as she asked.“No allergies. Not a fan of carrots though.”This made her turn, an eyebrow raised. “Carrots? That’s like…a basic vegetable.”“I know. My Grandmother used to make this dish every time we would come over. I guess she thought I had issues eating my vegetables and so made something sweet for me? I don’t know. She would roast carrots until they were pretty much mush with maple syrup. They were disgusting.”The look on Skylar’s face made me laugh

Niru was chuckling in the back of my head. ‘Told you.’ Sighing, I nodded slowly. “I do.” Grabbing the shirt I was wearing and holding it up to my nose, I took a sniff. “This is his, isn’t it?” The fork dropped on the floor and Skylar looked at me, surprised. “How…?” “I can smell him. Mint and Lime. He’s of age then?” She stared at me for a long time before answering. “Yes. He’s twenty-four. He was actually starting at the knights training just when you were leaving. There would have been a chance to run into each other but I guess you never did.” “No. I would have known if I had.” I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples. “When did you find out?” Skylar diced up the seasoned chicken and threw it into a hot pan on the stove. “Recently. I thought Justin might be our mate. It just…was a feeling. Plus Raine felt it as well. But once you entered my dreams, there really wasn’t anyone else you could be. I could smell you too. Like cloves weaving into the dream where it didn’t belong. I’m

I let out the breath I had been holding. For now, I felt like I was safe. There was a distinct feeling that I needed to thank her wolf for giving me a chance. Skylar’s personality was very much independent and willing to push anyone away. Raine must be snipping at her to try and make some kind of effort with me.Skylar got up and took her plate around but I rose as well. She started to put the leftovers in a container while I rinsed and put the dishes in the dishwasher. Her curiosity seemed to get the better of her and she chortled behind me.“Do you normally do dishes?”I nodded. “Depending on the day. We don’t keep staff on except for one of the cleaning services out of town. We hire them to come in and clean a bit. The cooking and everything else is left to the three of us living in the pack house.”“Is that…usual? ‘Cause it definitely wasn’t in our pack.”This made me laugh. &ld

‘How the hell did I get here?’I stared up at the unfamiliar ceiling. It was the same color as my ceiling at home but the room was completely different. Honestly, just in terms of color, furniture, and art, everything in this room was better than my room at home. It felt…good. Not that I belonged here but that I didn’t get the weird feeling. That feeling I was somewhere I shouldn’t be when I slept away from the pack house. It was still disconcerting.‘You’re overthinking this.’ Niru was annoyed as my mind continued to run.‘I’m not. If I got used to this…if this felt normal…then I wouldn’t mind spending time away from the pack.’Niru grumbled. ‘It’s good to step away once in a while. Take a vacation. You never relax.’‘Of course not! I’m Alpha! I never…’‘Your
