“I don’t know if I ever have, but there is a first time for everything and you seem to be the one the Moon Goddess chose for firsts.” Cameron says with a smile. “I’ve also never heard of mates like this, two brothers and a bonus mate.”
“I’m actually still trying to figure out why I’m here, trust me. I thought I was just going to be her Gamma. I knew she was going to lead our pack, but this is way more than I expected.”
“You get her, you always have. You understand the magic side of her…”
“Still standing here, you do know that right?” I laugh at their musings. “Who knows why the Moon Goddess decided this,” I gesture to the four of us, “was necessary, but we should expect more bullsh*t even after we deal with Mike. I can ask Luna Anne if she has heard anything from the Moon Goddess about all of these firsts. Maybe she can help.”
“I know another first I would like to get to sooner rather than later.” Dakota wiggles his eyebrows at me and mine shoot into my hairline.
“Knock it off. We have plenty of time later for that. We aren’t going to attack her now. We need to deal with Mike and his goons attacking us.” Oliver chides him, but I don’t miss the wave of want rolling off of all of them.
“F*ck I forgot about that guy.” He rolls his neck like a petulant child. “So how do we get out of the wind storm?”
“I don’t know. I thought it would let us out after we all marked Skylar. I mean Elena said the rest of the mating stuff could come later. What do you think, Sky?” Cam looks at me like I would have any idea what the hell is going on.
“I don’t know. You all have marked me, I have returned the favor, I figured that would have stopped this storm. I wonder if this isn’t a part of our magic, but Adrielle’s. Do you think she is a part of this with Mike? I know she was the one who made the prophecy. Could we be in a trap?” I turn to look at the wall of dust and debris swirling around us. It’s a tube going straight up to a darkening sky. “How long have we been in here?” I muse out loud.
“No idea, but obviously long enough. Let’s see if you can manipulate the wind at all. Maybe it’s a natural protection you didn’t know you put up around us.” Yep Oliver gets me, or at least the magic part of me. I raise my hand but nothing happens, I can’t even feel a pull to the wind element. I look at Oliver a little panicked. Wind was the element that was easiest for me. What is happening? I can feel the fear or uncertainty rise up in my chest and it brings on the warmth that lets me know my fire is right under the surface. Well that’s good I guess. I still have my raging element.
He steps towards me, placing his hand on my shoulders. “It’s okay we’ll figure this out. Maybe this is why we are still here. You’re marked now, so your magic has changed.”
