Chapter 524
Well that wasn’t ominous or anything. I look at her, not even trying to hide the worry I feel. Why does this have to come down to me being able to handle the spell? I don’t even know what the spell is. “Let’s go, you’ll see. We have the rest of your team together. Gentlemen.” She places an arm around my shoulders. “Oh, you may want to let down your shield from the clearing so others can use it. There’s no reason to waste energy maintaining it while you aren’t here.”
I looked surprised. “What?! I totally forgot about that. How did you get through the barrier? When you get a little further along with your training I will show you. It was actually a great barrier though, I’m impressed. You make for a very quick study even with your lessons being fragmented.”
“Oliver has been a big help. He seems to get the magic better than I do.”
“Well, that does make sense. He is your anchor. When you get lost in the magic he will bring you back. We choose our anchors typically, it seems yours was chosen for you.” I look over my shoulder at the men following me. If he’s my anchor, that makes sense why I am drawn to him and why he can help me with the magic, but what about the other two? I don’t get too much further in my thoughts before we get back up to the patio and sure enough my whole team, the ranked leaders and all their mates are present. Even Ava and Brett are here.
“We are going to head to the first location, please stay in your vehicle until Elena and I call you out. Placements need to be precise. You all know your duties. This will take some time and energy on everyone’s part. Martha and Lenny are preparing for our return.
Everyone nods and we follow the witches around the front to all the vehicles that seem to have been prepped while I was hashing things out with my guys. As I am walking I smell Sierra before she even wraps an arm around me and leans in to whisper in my ear.
“It looks like we need a girls night, so you can fill me in on the last two hours of your life.”
“It’s been two hours? It didn’t even feel like ten minutes. And yes! I need to figure this sh*t out before I go insane. There is way too much going on to be distracted by the three of them right now.”
“Oh, so you’ve upgraded from two to three?” She smiles wickedly. “You have never done anything the easy or traditional way, why not three?”
“Ugh. You are not going to be any help are you?”
“Not right away, nope. Cause you are one lucky girl.” She looks behind me. “Yep, lucky.”
“Did you just purr? Don’t you have a mate?!” I elbow her in the side.
“I do and he is as amazing as the day I met him. He is my one and only and all of that. But you have some things to work out and I am totally here for it and I want details.”
I nod my head, “As soon as we are done with this, it’s a girl’s night.” I lean into her shoulder.
The Twins, Oliver, Sam, Sierra and I hop into the truck. Mateo and Jena join Elena, Gentry, My dad and Nickolas in another SUV. Lil is driving Nathaniel, Wyatt and a team of Elite warriors to cover us while we work. The rest of the former leaders are in a third vehicle.
We drive for about twenty minutes when I start to doze off. I lean into Dakota’s arm. He doesn’t move away, but neither twin has touched me or tried to hold my hand and I don’t know what to think of that. So I am trying to stay focused on the task ahead. Gentry said everyone knew their duties. I have no idea what the hell she’s talking about so I hope what I have to do isn’t super difficult, because I am screwed if that’s the case. As I come up with all the scenarios I can think of I fall asleep to the warmth of their bodies around me and all three scents filling my nose.
