Chapter 132

“How long have you been hiding this spot?” Sierra sits next to me. We all dig in like we haven’t
eaten in weeks. This might be the equivalent for the guys who are used to full meals all of the time.
The never ending supply of PB and J sandwiches we lived on yesterday were not enough.
“Luna Ava has had it forever, she put the hammock up a few years ago when she kept finding me
back here reading.” I shrug at her. “It was always a quick place to get away from dad when he was
in a mood. I turned my attention to Xander who followed us in and quickly changed the subject.
“When are you guys taking off I have to make sure I find Warrior Nickolas and Osiston before you
all leave.”
“Once everyone is done eating, I think. The guys are packing everything up now. Warrior Brogan
was asking about you earlier, said you had a conversation to finish. Xander cocked an eyebrow at
me and I just laughed and rolled my eyes. “Are you going to explain, or just leave us all hanging?”
‘I can’t here, the walls might have ears, but he can tell you on your ride back” I wiggle my own
eyebrows at him conspiratorially.
His eyes glaze over for a brief second. “And, on that note, it is time for me to go. Walk me out?” He
looks right at me.
“Yeah.” I move to stand up and everyone else does the same. I fight another eye roll and move
forward to walk by Xander, wondering if they will ever let me be alone with him.
“We are going to have to find a way for you to come out, even if it’s with with the guys. I know my
mother would love to have you and you could see the torture we all go through each summer.” He
smiles at
“That would be amazing, considering you are stealing all of my friends this summer. Even Sierra
has to go home at some point.” I pretend to pout, trying to give my best Sam impression.
“Well then, we have to make it happen, since we will be the cause for that look” He smiles at me
again and it lights up his whole face. I return it easily. I feel like we could be really good friends, if
the guys stopped with their interfering jealousy. I’ll have to figure out how to give him my information
before they leave.
“Little One, you are going to have to explain how you make such good friends and such annoying
enemies.” Osiston’s voice booms at me from the driveway.
‘I will when you explain why everyone keeps asking how and why I know your first name.
“Wait! He gave you a nickname too?! Xander almost shouts.
“That is a good question, and I can only tell you that my wolf decides Osiston completely ignores
Xander.
“What?! What does that even mean?” I’m right in front of him now, straining my neck to look up at
him. “And can you squat or sit or something? This is ridiculous.”
He chuckles and squats in front of me and we are eye level. “You are special Little One, I will be
seeing you agaln soon.
“Can I give you something?” I ask and he looks at me skeptically. “Just give me your phone. | say
exasperated, holding out my hand.
He gives it over slowly. I plug in my information, save it and then flip to Xander’s contact and
forward him the info. “There now we can communicate.” I’m lookin at Osiston, but I’m speaking to
Xander as his phone goes off. He looks at the notification and the largest grin splits his face, like a
little boy on Christmas morning getting the first glimpse of presents.
Alpha Reggie walks over with LunaAnne, “You really are something special. I can’t wait to see what
you accomplish.” He grips my shoulder in a manly way
and then Luna Anne gives me a hug.
“Keep in touch, sweet girl.” She looks over my shoulder and smiles, hugging me one more time and
then moving on to the guys, then Alpha Lucas and Luna Ava.
Once everyone is packed up and on their way we start heading back into the packhouse and an
unease sets in my stomach.
