Once Rejected, Thrice Accepted
Chapter 56

"Ok, Olivia, we have our pizza, our sodas, and our candy." I stated smiling at my long lost friend as I sat down on our self-made inside picnic in the living room. "I also brought some paper, markers, and pens so we can go over all the ways we have snuck in and out of our old pack to see which are blocked or too well used now."

"Right." She nodded. She was looking better since she had taken a hot shower and had some of my clean pajamas on. They were actually a bit big on her making me a bit concerned because she was also on the curvy side which made her even more beautiful and now she was smaller than me who was barely at a normal weight.

"Are you sure about this? You can have a bit of a nap before we get started." I piled my plate full of pizza and pulled my bowl of ranch closer. It made me wish Lindy was here with us even more. She used to put ranch on everything especially when we had the crap pizza from school.

"No. The sooner we do this the sooner we can get Lindy here." She took a breath and shook her head like she was trying to shake away any negative thoughts still lingering. "I am so sorry I changed when I found out I was mated to Shane. In private he was so.. so sweet at first. He said he wanted what was best for me and being friends with the two losers of the school would only end up getting me hurt."

I leaned over and put my hand on her knee. "I get it. We were the three loser amigos, and you got a chance at having friends, power in popularity, and days without someone tripping you or shoving your head in the toilet. I was never angry with you. Just the crap situation."

She put her hand on mine smiling at me through her tears. "Thank you. Now let's feed our faces with some greasy food while planning a jail break." She laughed. "Remember all the times we talked about sneaking out of the pack? Now we are trying to get back in." "Yea. The irony isn't lost on me." Taking a big bite out of my pizza I smiled. "Let's make sure to get our friend and her sister out while leaving some gifts along the way."

She agreed so we got to work. Between stuffing our faces with sweets and pizza we drew the map of the pack lands including all the buildings, houses, and training grounds. They built another building on the outskirts, but she didn't know what it was for. No one is allowed in there except the Alpha and his visitors along with a few of the next in line to power.

"We need to see what's in there." I stated putting marks where I used to sneak out as she crossed them out stating they were closed, guarded, or used by everyone "It could hold all the battle information or when they plan to attack the royals. They cannot be the ones in charge. Females would never be able to do anything for themselves and those sick old perverts would be raping all the sixteen-year-olds they could replace."

"Agreed. I haven't seen anyone other than leaders go in there, but they have meetings at all hours of the day and night. It didn't start until Alpha Alexander was taken prisoner and you all refused to trade him for anything." She giggled. "Such a good idea on your part. I heard Shane bitching about them having you and that your ex-mate should have just fucked you every once in a while, to keep you there. He also mentioned wanting a piece of ruined and beaten bitch. I 'accidently' bit his dick that night."

"Well thank you." I was forgetting one of the best hidden spots we used but nothing was coming to mind as I stared at the map. "Do you remember that one Thanksgiving we snuck out to the lake with Lindy and brought some of my moms rum we had stolen?" "Hell ya." Throwing her head back sending her laugh throughout the room. "And we got so stinking drunk we passed out under the stars barely waking up in time to sneak back in before patrol caught us."

"Oh yea. They almost did. Thank goodness it was the older lazy patrol group." Just remembering some of our actual fun we had in that pack was warming my soul. "Most of the time in that pack it was absolute shit for each of us but together we made it better. I hope once we get Lindy here with her mate and you reject yours to join our pack, we can have those again. The guys won't know what to do with us when they replace us drunk as skunks somewhere random on the pack lands."

"Excuse me, Drunk?" Draco scoffed as he snuck into the living room. "I found what you asked for but Duncan intercepted and took it with him. Hopefully that was ok."

"Yea, its fine." I turned toward Olivia remembering one of our questions. "Why did you put her ear in the letter? Why would you do that?"

"Oh, that. Umm..." Draco sat down on the couch probably wondering the same thing making her shrink back but her eyes keeping their strength and stubbornness. "I found it. They were going to send it to you anyways with some kind of note lying about how she was dead, and this was the only thing left of her. I only took the ear with me, but I burned the letter. I didn't have time to spray scent cancelling anything, so they know its me."

Moonlight pushed forward. "They won't get you. You are safe here no matter what happens."

"Any friend of my sisters is a friend of mine." Draco stood up smiling at me. "The guys need me so I will be headed there. Ally will be headed here. She wants some opinions on outfits."

I groaned. "Fine but if she tries to make me wear pink, I am going to send him home naked."

He laughed and left.
