Page 48 of My Bad Boy Alpha

I glanced over at him and gnawed on my inner cheek, spotting Stone helping his warriors to the medical center with Sina’s mates and Maxine’s mate.Sina gently tilted my chin back toward her.

“Is that true?”she asked.

“Yes.”

“What kind of visions are they?”

I shrugged.“I see her and talk to her.Mostly through dreams.”

“Daydreams?”she said, brow arched.

“Sometimes.Is that bad?”

After Sina released my chin, she frowned and looked at Maxine.“No, it’s not bad.But I’ve never spoken to the Moon Goddess before, and I have visions.I can connect with other Paragons, too, though I can’t seem to form a connection with you.”

“Does that mean I’m not one?”

“I’m here!I’m here!”Olenna shouted from the edge of the woods.She leaned over her knees, breathing heavily, and waved with one arm.“Sorry I’m late to the party.But it seems like you took care of business all by yourselves.”

“The fuck would you even contribute to a war, Olenna?”Carve growled.

She narrowed her glare at him and scowled.“I’m not here for you, so fuck off.”Just as he was about to respond, Olenna slammed her open palm into his face and shoved him back with it.“Get lost, piece of shit.”

When he finally grumbled and stormed off, Olenna turned back to us and widened her eyes when her gaze landed on me.“Holy … moly, what is going on with you?Why do your eyes look like that?”

“We don’t know,” Maxine said.

Sina sucked in her inner cheek.“I would just keep an eye on it.Seems like it’s fading.”

“Keep an eye on it?!”I exclaimed.“How am I supposed to do that if I can’t even see it?”

Maxine snickered.“Good point.”

Sina smiled and leaned her forearm on Maxine’s shoulder.“I’m sure it will be easy for Stone to keep track for you.He’s obsessed with you.”

“Mesmerized,” Olenna hummed, her gaze flickering over to Carve for a moment.

A burst of butterflies fluttered in my belly from the way they exchanged a quick glance.

“Youcan be mesmerized too,” Maxine said to Olenna.“If you ever let Carve?—”

Olenna pointed a finger at Maxine.“Hey.You finish that sentence, and I will personally cut off your mate’s horn tonight in his sleep.And I know how much incubi use their horns to get off.Don’t test me, Maxi.”

Maxine giggled and bit back a smirk, as Stone returned.

“So, Stone,” Sina said, glancing over my shoulder, “make sure you record when this happens with her eyes.What she’s doing.The emotions flowing through her.Times of day.That sorta thing.”

“Thank you for your input, but I can take care of my mate myself.”

“Just looking out for her.”Sina smiled.“She’s one of us now.”

“One of us?”I asked, wondering what she meant.

A Paragon?No.A wolf?I had always been one of those.

“One of the girls.”She grinned.

Warmth exploded through my chest, and I bit back a giant grin that desperately wanted to cross my face.I had never ever had a group of friends, never mind a group of close girlfriends.I didn’t want to scare them away already.
