My Secret, My Bully, My Mates by Miss L

“So what are we doing? What can I expect from this magic thing, Bitty?” Oliver asks as we head back to where my semi-hidden hammock is.

“Really, I can’t do much with magic, but I’m focusing on how to sense it and have been able to start manipulating elements a little with it. Magic is really hard. Do you remember learning to shift for the first time?” He nods at me. “It’s kind of like that when I use magic. Somewhere in me I have the capacity for it, but because it isn’t my first nature the learning is slow and draining. With the Rogues using magic, sensing it is my main focus and Elena agrees. If we can avoid things and people that are being manipulated and controlled by magic, we can keep more pack members safe. What happened to Jena’s pack and Tyler’s pack is unacceptable and I believe magic is going to be the Rogue King’s weakness.”

I didn’t think about it at the time, but I don’t sleep well so I’ve had time on my hands.”

“What do you mean you don’t sleep well? You slept fine last night.”

“I have always slept better with you guys around.” I smile at him. “I’m pretty sure it’s the only time I actually hit a deep sleep really. You guys are just my people, you’re safe, home.” He pulls me into a hug and I can hear his wolf purr softly in his chest.

“That was the ego boost we needed. Now he isn’t going to shut up the rest of the day.” Oliver laughs. “So what do I need to do?”
