Chapter 0227


    “How do you know they are for me?” | look at each identical one. “There''s no indication that they


    are."


    “Because | collected them myself. | told them | would see you today and | know none of us can


    really have any regrmunication, but | also know what happened between all of you and how


    everything was left. | thought maybe when | had a chance | could y go between. No one checks


    me or my things, perks of the title.” He shrugs. "So | could, at the very least, get basic information


    back and forth when | am able to see you which will be a hell of a lot more than them.


    And with my regr trips back to your pack, because of the attack, | can even help during the


    school year when they go back."


    | nod my head slowly, not really sure what | was agreeing with and hold the letters to my chest.


    Some were definitely thicker than others. That made me smile. | should try to guess who wrote each


    letter before opening it to see how well | know them.


    | feel like we made it back to the bunkhouse in record time, | wish | would have been able to spend


    more time with Xander. Especially now that | know what | do. He’s really the only person | can talk to


    about it that is in my age bracket. | obviously won''t be able to talk to him about it in public, like the


    Elder''s conference and | don''t think I’m supposed to say anything to the guys let alone put it ina


    letter that can be lost or taken. What the hell am | supposed to do with all of this information? |


    mean seriously, did Alpha Reggie know what he was doing dropping this bomb on me and then just


    letting me stew with it on my own? Ugh.


    And now | have secret letters from the guys. What has my lifee to?


    Before | can get too lost in my thoughts, my door opens and | slide out and start to head toward the


    door when a hand wraps around the small of my back. — “Wha..?” | look up over my shoulder.


    “Xander, what are you doing"


    “Dad said someone was giving you a hard time, | want to know who and | want to make sure it is


    apparent you have friends in high ces."

    “Don''t you dare! | can handle this on my own."


    “Umm, you shouldn''t have to ‘handle’ anything like that.


    Every warrior is here because they were chosen, you have all earned the right. Second, tell me


    Oliver, Cameron, Dakota, Sam or your brother wouldn''t do the same thing."


    “Ugh!! There are times when | kind of hate all of you, you know that?"


    His mouth twitches in a half smile, that, I''m sure, he uses to get his own way frequently. “You love


    every ridiculous thing about all of us, and I promise | won''t say a thing.”


    | don''t get a chance to respond as Barty opens the door for us. We walk into the foyer and | figure


    that’s where he will leave me, but no | couldn''t be that lucky and I''m starting to think that Sam put


    him up to pushing myfort levels based on the look on his face.


    He walks me straight past the stairs and right into the mainmon area where a majority of the


    warriors are lounging after dinner. “Where are your friends? | think you mentioned Lillian, Wyatt and


    Nathaniel."


    “Were you instructed to vet my friends for me too” | figured this trainwreck ising whether | want


    it to or not, so | might as well get it over with sooner rather thanter. | have no idea how far Xander


    will go to embarrass me. He just shrugs nomittally. "Fine, they''re over here."


    | lead him to a corner where the three of them are just sitting and talking and not doing a very good


    job of pretending I’m not walking over to them with the Alpha Prince.
