My Secret, My Bully, My Mates.

Chapter 0274

Before we get any further in the conversation, there’s a knock at the door. I just shout for them tocome in and Xander, Oscar and Mina all look at me like I have lost my mind.

“What? No one gets on this floor, I know food is coming for us. We should take bets as to who isdelivering. I think it’s Barty and he has probably been with our food for the whole preparation anddelivery.” I roll my eyes as I get up and head to the door, because whoever is on the other side mustthink along the same lines as the rest of my friends since no one came in.

I don’t wait for a response as I slowly open the door. “Oh, Barty, what a surprise to see youdelivering our food!” I say loud and mockingly, giving him a wink so he knows the sarcasm is notdirected at him in any way, he just got caught in the crossfire.

“Hey, settle down. At this point we only know there is a threat, and it’s close. No one has a clue whoor why right now so everyone is a suspect.” Mina chides me with a smile. I stick my tongue out ather in response.

“So what do we know?” I ask as Barty closes the door and wheels the tray over to the sitting area.“This attack doesn’t seem like a surprise to you or your dad Xander, but the rest of the Alphas hadtheir panties in a wad. You dad also mentioned hypotheticals when you guys were at Blue Crescent.This isn’t the first attack is it?”

I don’t even hide my curiosity and Mina jumps on the question wagon with me. We talk into the nightand don’t even notice how much time has passed until Osiston comes into my room unannouncedtelling the guys to head to Xnader’s room and Mina and I to stay in mine. It doesn’t escape mynotice that we are being kept in pairs.

“It’s one in the morning, you all need your sleep after the events of today. Mina, you will be travelingwith Skylar to the Warrior camp, rooming and sharing a schedule since you are both still attendingschool. We will leave right after breakfast, 8am sharp, do not be late, any of you. Mina, things are

being packed for you and your training gear will be provided. None of you are to travel alone,anywhere, including the bathroom, showers, everything. We don’t know the nature of the attack orthe reason behind it. All of you are important people so any of you could have been the target.”

“So are we under guard then?” Mina asks.

“In a manner of speaking, yes. We aren’t advertising what is going on, but you all are to keep trackof each other. For obvious reasons we are keeping Xander and Oscar together, which leaves thetwo of you, but that works in our favor in several ways.”

“Wait! What’s obvious about Xander and Oscar?” Mina cuts him off and I flinch a little at the lookthat crosses his face from the interruption.

“We’re mates, Mina.” Xander says confidently and her eyes go wide.

“How does that work exactly? Being the prince and heir and needing to continue your family lineand all that.”

“We haven’t found our female mate yet. We know we have one, but that’s all we know.” Oscar stepscloser to Xander and laces their fingers together. The show of support is sweet and I get the feelingthey will get that question a lot if people replace out about them before they understand Xander has twomates and they are not looking forward to it.

Mina doesn’t even question it past that though. She just takes in the info, nods and moves on withher questioning. “So how does this work in our favor then?” She points between the two of us.

“Before you interrupted, I was about to explain.” Osiston deadpans and then moves on like it neverhappened. “Skylar has had a lot of attention surrounding her arrival here. We don’t discuss it, reallyit’s no one’s business and I will not be questioned any more, but your presence will help since it willbe, on the surface, identical to her arrival. You have a late start and need to finish school while you

are training. You will transfer to all of Skylar’s classes, she will get you caught up on everything.” Heholds his hand up. “Before you interrupt, she is taking higher level classes than you are, so you willstep up. Now all of you go to bed, set alarms, anything that happened today is not to be discussedoutside of your group or outside this castle, literally. Go.”
