“Don’t look like that. You didn’t say anything wrong, but as you said having a fresh set of eyes
always brings new light. Sometimes we get so familiar with things we don ‘t actually see them. Like
you mentioning only one exit in the safe room. It seems common sense to have multiple exit points
the way you said it, but no one else thought of it. We have always put focus on the outer border, and
that has worked just fine. I’m not so full of myself as to think I have all the answers all Of the time.
so thank you for your insight my dear.” He smiles at me and I can’t help but smile back. “Well this
has been a very enlightening evening, but we are off to bed. My patrols have joined yours, so just
let someone know if you plan on coming or going in the wee hours of the night.” He looks right at
me and winks.
“Nope,” I jump at the voice behind me. “Tiny has no plans in the morning. Goodnight sir.” Cam says,
then reaches for my hand, something none of them have ever done. I take it and stand, saying a
quick goodnight to everyone while letting Cam lead me and the rest of our group inside.
Just before we cross into the kitchen I hear Alpha Reggie ask, “Do they always flankher like that?”
“Uh, huh, and I don’t even think they realize that they are doing it…” I didn’t hear the rest of Alpha
Lucas’ comment as we made our way.
We head up the main staircase, Cam is not letting go of my hand under any circumstances.
“Hey, Skylar.” We stop just before the door to the third floor and turn around to see Prince Xander
right behind our group. “Can I walk you to your room?”
“She stays on the third floor.” Kota responds a little curtly.
“Oh, okay. Um, who are you sitting with during the trials tomorrow?”
“Don’t.” I whisper to the guys as Cam’s hand tightens around mine. To Prince Xander. “I’m not sitting
with anyone tomorrow.” He looked confused, so I decided to elaborate. Pm joining the trials, so I will
be on the ground with the warriors. Pm not really the sit-in -the-stands-and-watch type.” I just keep
the conversation going as if we aren ‘t being eavesdropped on by all of my friends. “We’ll see you
tomorrow for breakfast. I smile at him and place my hand on his forearm for a brief second. I do like
him and had fun talking to someone other than my usual guys. He really is very handsome, but I
just don ‘t have that same pull I have with the guys. It would be nice to be on friendly terms with the
Alpha prince though. “Goodnight Prince Xander.” I smile one more time and turn back to the door
before anything else embarrassing happens tonight.
Kota lets us in the stairwell and we all file up. “Man, I am beat. What time do we have to have Little
Bit down to the training grounds?” Sam asks from somewhere behind me, breaking the silence.
“Warriors arrive at 10 and the trials start at noon.” Cam calls back “Oh and Tiny, Delta Kyle wanted
me to tell you, that you are not allowed anywhere near the training grounds before 9:30, so you are
hereby forced to sleep in and lay around, no matter what time you get up.” A soft chuckle runs
through him.
“So, what do I do when my body decides 4am is the time I need to be up? I will go nuts, just sitting
around waiting for the rest of you to come out of your comas.” I ask a little flippantly.
“Corne find one of us and we will snuggle you back to sleep. Oliver whispers in my ear and it gives
me goosebumps, but I’m not sure if it ‘s a good or a bad thing,“Alright, TIny has her room officially
now, someone can crash in Kota’s room, two of you on the couch and Sierra, you can decide who
you’re spooning with tonight.” Cam laughs again.
“Where is Kota going to sleep?” I asked after doing the math in my head.
‘We usually share.” The twins say in unison.
“We don’t spend many nights apart, never have.” Kota explains. Now I know why I was able to sleep
in his room then.
“Okay, goodnight boys, Sierra.” I say before turning towards my room. It’s so crazy to think I have a
room in the packhouse.
