My Secret, My Bully, My Mates by Miss L

“How do you figure?” Mateo asks

“He’s settled for power as the head of the school board in order to try and manipulate things for him and his daughter. It’s why he keeps pushing her on the twins, why he stalled the building of his home, hoping a forced proximity will help her chances. When we were younger at school she was always paired with Cam and Kota, even though she and I are a year younger than you guys. But she’s not the only girl, have you noticed the amount of female attention that has surrounded the guys lately? It’s going to get worse before it gets better.” I shutter.

“I hope you guys all find your mates quickly, some of these girls are nuts.” Jena grimaces. “I actually heard two people plotting to get pregnant so you would have to take them as chosen mates. You need to watch your backs and make sure you wrap it up tight.”

“Yeah, we’ve started to feel the crazy vibe.” Cam stares into the fire. “I just wish they wanted us for us though, or could even have the smallest respect for the fact that we want our mate.”

“So you’re sure that you will both share a mate?” Lil asks.

They share a look and then nod.

“Do you know who it is?” She questions with an eyebrow raised.

“No one knows, not for certain.” Cam tries to deflect.

“But that look on your face says you do actually have someone in mind.” She points between them. Neither respond or look up from the fire.

“We need a game!!” Sierra shouts suddenly, startling everyone..

“What did you have in mind?” Sam nuzzles her neck.

“The bonfire is supposed to be fun, not depressing and all we talk about is work, which right now is depressing. I want to know about all the new friends Sky has made, since I have lived near them all for years, but I don’t know anything.”

“As long as we can just sit here and keep drinking, I’m okay with that. This week has been rough.” Mateo sighs.

“How about ‘never have I ever?’ or Truth or Dare, but the dare is you have to kiss someone of the questioner’s choosing. We’ll keep it short and simple.”

“I feel like there is nothing of the sort when you are involved.” Lil laughs. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
