My Secret, My Bully, My Mates by Miss L

"I think we should move Mike. His presence here, so close to you, is not good for anyone. He thinks that he will survive this because of magic or whatever. He thinks that his mother will save him. He thinks that he will have you, still. If he is here, it's a beacon straight to you." The deep growly voice of my father comes from the back of the room and I just stare. "We have a location on our Eastern border, it is not something that is general knowledge, but it is something the former Alphas had for particularly nasty prisoners that they didn't want in or near the packhouse. It will place Mike the furthest from the mainland entrance and from the Alphas."

I just stare. I have no thoughts in my head at all. I heard my father's voice and saw him speak... to me... but I still can't process the idea. Where the hell did this 180 come from? All it took was his second chance mate to treat me like a person? Or Maybe it's because I am one of his Alpha's now and his sense of duty and loyalty are still just ingrained in his job.

"What do you think, Love?" Cam pulls me out of my shock. "What does your gut say? Keep him close or get him as far away as possible?"

"I think that it would ease everyone's mind if he was gone. The packhouse needs to be our safe space. I think I would like our warriors close when they aren't on duty, though. Can we fit all the warriors in the ranked housing? I don't want everyone scattered when they are off duty. With all the mind control stuff that Adrielle is capable of from a distance, I want to know where everyone is all the time."

"I think that can be arranged. Ava and I will take on that organization." Brett raises his hand from near the door. "We'll let you know if we come across any complications."

They don't leave the school, but we have allowed them to use the playground and outdoor eating area to give them a small bit of freedom. Only time will tell where their loyalties lie." Kyle says from near the window. "All of the fighters are being contained in the small fighting arena. We have temporary shelters set up for them, but we are still working through them with the healers. Many had injuries and all of them had the tracker implanted. They all seem very dazed and confused as they come out of whatever chemical control they had. We just don't know if there is any other magic going on."

"I have a couple more questions for Gentry and Elena, and then the rest of us can start to work on this fire situation."
