My Secret, My Bully, My Mates. novel Chapter 123

Chapter 0123

I finally had to step away to get some water and take a break. I was standing at the island in the kitchen, chugging a bottle of water and heard voices from the back hallway that leads to the garage.

“I just don’t know why she wants to keep it a secret.

If I was her, I would tell everyone."

“I know, right? There must be something else going on. We'll have to pay really close attention."

Definitely Marnie and Jeanie. I hear footsteps coming towards me, so 1 scramble back towards the fridge and act like I’m getting something out. They don't even notice me and just keep walking and talking.

‘‘She’s probably lying, everyone knows they want their mate. I have heard that all the rumors about them sleeping around are bullsh*t too. That they are actually waiting to give up their V card to their goddess given mate. Which is totally romantic! Who knows. They wouldn’t all of a sudden decide to hook up with her randomly at a party with the Alpha King here either. No one is dumb enough to believe that"

Marnie says.

“I don’t know. She likes to exaggerate, but would she lie about mates? She's been talking about them being her mates for years.” Jeanie asks.

“She can’t even tell who her mate is for three more years, there’s no way.” Marnie scoffs. “But I’m not going to stop her from laying claim to them, let her live her fantasy for as long as she can. Cause there is no way she’s going to be Luna, she wouldn’t be able to handle the job. The Moon Goddess wouldn’t make us all suffer like that, she’s awful now, can you imagine if she had any real authority?” She giggles and Jeanie joins in. “We just need to stay on her good side for a few more years, then the truth will come out. She’s probably actually mated to some worthless Omega who's abusive. That would be karma, wouldn’t it?"

Micah. Can I please just walk with you to shut him up?” He almost begs.

“Sure, I guess. Does that happen a lot, your wolf being territorial like that?” We start our way to the Staircase leading to the second floor.

“Only with you Bite Size, only with you. And it’s crazy, because I feel like Mateo, like I need to protect you, like my wolf’s whole mission is to keep you safe.

We haven’t even been this protective over a girl we want to hook up with, no offense.” He adds quickly at the end, eyes wide looking terrified that he offended me.

“None taken, and to be honest, I feel the same. You seem to make me calm and centered, like my best friend or my other half, but not in a mate way. Is that weird?” I look up at him and he is smiling, like actually smiling. It is blinding, and jaw dropping. “Oh man! Your mate is in trouble!” I giggle at him.
