My Secret, My Bully, My Mates. Series

I did NOT mean for that to fall out of my face.

Sierra starts laughing, "The rooms are sound proof, but I'm glad to know you can play along."

I shot up from my seat walking my half finished breakfast to the sink, took a deep breath then I turned around, "Just make sure you clean the arm of the couch and the back of the couch too." I winked at her and then took off. I can't believe I just said that out loud. I head to the office to check on Nathaniel before anyone can stop me.

They were terribly loud though. I wondered why neither of the twins said anything. None of them could hear it. Just another freak thing about me.

I knock on the door as I walk in. "Hey! Have you found anything about our hallway intruder yet?"

"Nothing, but there is a glitch in the feed around the time when we all would have been getting back from the celebration. Watch."

He pulls up the feed and plays it for me and if I didn't know to look for it, I never would have seen it. In the bottom right corner is a small flash of what looks like static, but with a shimmer. No interference I have everseen has ever shown as a shimmer.

"Someone used magic to cloak themselves?"

"Yep, and obviously doesn't care about having to reset the little dream bundle as often as needed because of their cloak. I did talk to Gentry this morning while you were training..." "How did you know I was training?"

"One, I run surveillance, that's my job. Two, you are a slippery sneaky one that likes to get lost, so I put a tracker in your weapons belt. I know when you are more than a hundred feet away from me. And don't give me any privacy bullsh*t. Losing you to Mike was scary for all of us. We just handled it in different ways. Wyatt trails you like your Gamma, Lil sticks to your ass almost as close as your Alphas and I track every move you make from here. Just like your guys here, you mean a lot to this team. And whoever is trying to harm you knows that, which is why they're doing minor things to everyone."

"I wish we could figure out this spell sh*t too. I mean We showed the guys videos of Kaley actively framing me and they didn't see it, couldn't see it, I don't know. I can't believe they would ignore it or disregard it. But maybe under whatever spell that's exactly what they would do?" I rub my face. That day has been bugging me since it happened. "Ava heard what Kaley said to Jena and I but she said nothing, didn't defend me or back me up or even just confirm that Kaley was being a b*tch to the pups. Or even that Gwen took her to the cells. She just looked at me like she was disappointed."

"Yeah, I thought about that too. I was watching you mostly and messing with the videos, so I didn't see much, but with the new 'cloak' theory I might have something." He pulls up the video feed from the four different angles. "You didn't notice anything from the room and I didn't see anything live on the feeds, but magic generally doesn't show up on the electronics, but look at this..." He pulls up the feed where Lucas shows me the fake camera.

"Yep, I remember that. Everyone seemed really angry at the sight of a camera. Especially since we had been placing them everywhere...with their permission. I thought it was weird then too."

"Yeah, but watch this..." He backs the

video up about thirty seconds. It's when I am asking why I am being treated like a traitor and giving off my Alpha aura. I was so irritated never noticed. I had them all

submitted, even Lucas. I demanded

on

an answer and from the look their faces, I was going to get one. Until the shimmer on the screen. Then the twins' faces morph and they come out of the submission, like it didn't affect them anymore. "Did you see the shift?"

"Yeah. My aura came out, I had them submitted, and then it just broke. How did that happen?"

"Look at the floor. You all were divided, but not until this moment."

"Huh?"

"Up until then, Cameron, Dakota and Lucas were all behind the desk, but Ava was leaning against the side,

halfway to you, and halfway to them. She didn't shift until she stood up and stepped back after you

submitted them. I bet there is some kind of spell or maybe even one of those little bundles like we keep finding on the doors hidden near or, more likely, in the desk. But it didn't seem to be activated until the whole Alpha family was completely behind the desk. We need to check the office, because your twins have been using it without any problems that I have noticed, but if there is something there, it needs to go."

"Great! So it's probably my fault they turned on me by activating the asshole spell." I rub my face again. "I'll go find Elena and hopefully Gentry. I wish there was a way to do a sweep for magic like we do for heat signatures. I'm kind of over finding things randomly, this is taking up so much time." I roll my eyes.

"We also need to figure out if that shimmer means there's magic in the room or if there is an actual person in the room hidden."

"Uh huh huh." I whine. "You are supposed to be helping me solve problems, not give me more questions."

"I am helping, just the long, highly

detailed way around." He laughs. "Also, no sign of Kevin, so I don't know if that is a good or a bad thing. Kaley has been around, but really out of place think. She goes to the training grounds, but sits in the stands. She doesn't talk to anyone and I can't tell who or what she's watching, but we can all probably guess. She's been by the packhouse too, but I really only see her in the kitchen and dining room for meals. Her behavior is off for sure." Content

"I wouldn't even know what to do with her anyway."Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"What are you talking about? She abused you for your whole life. Tried to kill you or seriously injure you enough to leave the pack. She clearly pegged you as her competition for some reason and really early. I would beat her all the ways she beat me, if I was you."

"But, there's something so wrong with her though. Don't get me wrong I know she deserves to be punished, but what if she was put up to all of this by her dad playing some really long game? What if she's possessed like the twins and their parents were? All her screeching and yelling and demanding was just for show. That I'm sure of and what in the world would make her think I was any kind of competition?"
