My Secret, My Bully, My Mates. novel Chapter 488

***”Yes…It was. But with the brand I don’t have any desire to do anything like that. Nothing romantic crosses my mind.”***

***”Would you still feel it though? If I kissed you right now, would you be able to understand what it means?”***

***”I don’t know. I’m sure people have tested it. Lil actually said she and Wyatt did.”***

***”I would like another chance to show you what a first kiss should be like.”***

I think I might have stopped breathing again. I have no idea what the look on my face is, but clearly I am scaring Oliver, he backpedals.

***”Bitty, we aren’t mates. I don’t care what anyone says, we both know it, but there is something here. And I will be honest, this is because I care about you, but I also kind of want to rub it in that you will always be mine in some way. I think it might get us the in that we need to save the twins. Do you trust me?”***

He nods, but doesn’t look happy, then steps back from where I am standing just as Alpha Lucas collides with me. We both go rolling, but he has me caged in his arms. I knew he didn’t want to hurt me, but he is under command to fight me. Again, whichever one of them is controlling this doesn’t know what kind of fighters we are. I can hold my own against an Alpha and Alphas aren’t supposed to hurt pack members. It goes against the Moon Goddess' laws. Not everyone knows that, but when you study with Alpha Reggie as much as I have you pick up a couple things.

When we finally stop rolling, I am able to break from his grasp and run towards the first thing I see… The obstacle course. We weave in and out of the legs of the structure, then I climb on top and he follows. He is agile and can keep up with me, but I have been doing this course for so long that I could probably do it in my sleep. We run everywhere all over it, up, down, in and out. We jump so many times I can hear the wood start to creek from the force and his sheer weight. The thing is sturdy, but I am probably one of the biggest people to really pound on it, and that isn’t saying a lot. Maybe it wasn’t meant to have one of the biggest people in our pack slamming around on top of it.
