My Secret, My Bully, My Mates by Miss L

He’s crying. This massive, tattooed guy who is scared of nothing is crying into my shirt. My broody, moody Gamma’s never shown this much emotion in living memory, but with just the two of us, he’s breaking down and holding me tight, like I might disappear if he lets go. This is our thing, this raw emotion, this connection will stay in this room for only the two of us to bear. I let all my calming thoughts flow to him, like he does for me.

“You never looked this happy and healthy here. Even dead on your feet from lack of sleep and covered in everything that you could possibly be covered in from fighting in the forest, I could see the glow in your skin and in your eyes. You have put on weight, you have so much more muscle now. Being away has been good for you. That’s what made me angry. It was better for you to be away, you are better off without us.” He takes another deep breath in and lets it out.

“It’s not that it was better or worse for me anywhere. I had to get away for a little while. I just needed a break from the drama and to experience life and things outside the pack. To see what I was capable of on my own in a place that was unfamiliar without the safety net of you guys around. I wish it didn’t happen the way it did, but I can’t say I regret it. I was always going to come home. That has always been the plan it’s still the plan even if I have to leave again.”

“What happens when you become an Elite Warrior trainer and they keep you until you find your mate?” His hoarse voice is barely above a whisper.
