Lucy Pov
Mitchell groans underneath me and I become very aware of the fact I was crouched over him completely naked. Ace growls as he rolls and as awkward as it was going to be for poor Mitchell to open his eyes to my breasts hovering over his face, I was too scared to move in case they attacked. I knew they wouldn’t while I was positioned above him so I wasn’t willing to move just yet.
Mitchell sits up completely oblivious to me hovering over him. Ace growls when Mitchell smacks his face into the side of my breast. Tyson stalks off when I hear Mitchell’s voice.
“Ah Lucy, why are you naked?” He asks and I move so I am sitting in front of him between him and Ace. Mitchell sits up and we must have been a strange sight to see. I have never shifted before yet I was used to seeing other people naked all the time, but being naked myself I felt extremely exposed. I hear the front door bang as it smashes against the wall. Tyson rushes out with a pair of shorts on and a handful of clothes. He tosses a shirt at me.
“Put it on” He snaps and I raise an eyebrow at him.
“Lucy put the fucking shirt on” He growls as he hands Ace a pair of shorts before tossing pants at Mitchell.
“Stop looking at her” Ace barks at Mitchell.
“I have a mate chill out” Mitchell says behind me as I pull the shirt on, I was half tempted to leave it off as big fuck you to the pair of them but I wasn’t comfortable being this exposed to the world, though Mitchell had seen plenty of my boobs before when we had sleepovers. No girl can keep their titties in a tank top while sleeping, he had seen plenty of nip slips or full on boobage exposure.
“Not Like I haven’t seen her naked before” Mitchell mutters and Tyson steps toward him and a furious growl rips from him.
“When the fuck did you see her naked?” Tyson growls but I could hear the warning behind his voice if he answered wrongly.
“Relax I am not interested in your mate, I used to be, not since I found mine though, and to answer your question when she would sleep over” Oh my god Mitchell stop talking you are digging us a bigger hole to climb out of.
“You slept at his house naked in his bed?” I facepalm at his stupidity.
“No, he meant he has seen pieces of me, you all have long before you knew I was your mate. Hard to contain all this. I have known Mitchell just as long, he has caught glimpses of me before and we always slept head to toe” I tell them, wondering how the fuck their minds could go from wanting to kill Mitchell to this topic.
“Yeah mum was always funny that way, doors open and head to toe so Lucy could kick me in the face all night” Mitchell chuckles.
“Pretty sure they still want to kill him,” Lucille tells me. It was so strange hearing a voice in my head that wasn’t my own.
“Well technically we are the same person, therefore your own voice. I am just the more sordid unrestrained version” She tells me.
“What a word choice to describe yourself” I tell her when I hear a menacing growl snapping me back to the issue at hand. Tyson had moved closer and was about to grab me. I could see that having a wolf thing was going to be a distraction.
“You just need to learn to focus on your surroundings while talking to me instead of trying to find me to speak to me, multitasking” She says. Tyson’s hand wraps around my wrist but I twist out of it.
Tyson glares at me and Mitchell remains still behind me, he knew I was the only thing keeping them away from him.
“Lucy come here” Tyson snarls, his lip pulling over his teeth slightly as he glared at Mitchell pressed against my back.
“No, not until you give Mitchell his car keys and let him leave”
“That’s not happening” Ace says with a snarl as he folded his arms across his broad chest and glared down at me.
“Then we will remain right here. I am not moving because the moment I do, you will hurt him” Ace reaches for me but I slap his hand wondering if Lucille would shift again if needed. I wasn’t sure how to force it.
“Right here Luce, I have a bone to pick with him anyway I don’t mind delivering on that threat earlier of taking his hand, at least then the jerk will know to keep them off other girls” She says.
“Wait, you know?” I ask her, remembering to focus on my surroundings.
“Yep, I have always been here Lucy, I was just blocked off, I still saw and felt everything you did though sometimes it was hard to see” She says.
“So you know everything about me?”
“I am your wolf, we are one now. You will never have to fight a battle alone again, lucy. I am sorry I failed you” She says but I shake my head.
“Weird huh, talking to a wolf?” Mitchell says behind me.
“The weirdest” I tell him.
“Yeah I spent two weeks talking out loud to myself, should have seen the looks I got at school before I realised I was speaking my mind to the world” He laughs.
“Wait, was I doing that?”
“No, Luce, I could just tell by the distracted look on your face” Mitchell says. I let out a breath but Tyson and Ace were observing us. Mitchell’s phone starts ringing on the ground behind Tyson who turns and picks it up.
“It’s his mother,” Tyson says and I hold my hand out for his phone.
“No, not until you move off him, you are practically sitting on his lap Lucy”
“I want his car keys” I tell him and his jaw clenches as his eyes dart to Mitchell before going back to me.
“That is not an option” He says when I see his eyes glaze over. Ace’s do too and I reach over snatching the phone from Tyson’s grip and passing it to Mitchell. Tyson’s claws slipped from his fingers and he looked like he was about to do something. Ace however was still locked in a mindlink and by his expression he looked pissed off before his eyes brightened to the normal silver colour.
“Ryker is on his way” Ace says looking at Tyson and he curses. Not even two minutes later I hear a car on the gravel driveway. A few more minutes passed when I stood up and so did Mitchell. Tyson instantly lunges at Mitchell to grab him as Ace rips me toward him. A growl escapes me and I elbow him in the stomach making him let go before elbowing him in the face. I then shove Tyson and got back between Mitchell and him. The car stops Ryker jumping out with Jacob.
My stepfather looked as murderous as Tyson and Ace and I grab Mitchell’s arm as he approached.
“Why is he still here” Ryker snaps at Tyson and Ace.
“No one is touching him” I blurt out and my father snarls at me.
“That’s not for you to decide Lucy, grab him Jacob” Ryker says and Jacob rushes over. I growl at him baring my teeth and he stops.
“Lucy enough stop this” Ryker snaps at me.
“No! You don’t get a say, he is my friend. I forgave him for his part, he handed Josie over for fucks sake. He isn’t going to do anything”
“You’re right he isn’t because he is coming with me, now stand down or I will make you” Ryker says coldly. Mitchell sighs behind me.
“Where is mum?” I ask Ryker.
“At home with Ryden and Rayan, no move”
“No!” I tell him and I feel Lucille come forward, Ryker blinks at me before his eyes dart down to realise I only had a shirt on before flicking back to my eyes, he steps forward cocking his head to the side and observing me and I knew he could feel her.
“She has a wolf” Tyson tells him. Ryker clicks his tongue before nodding to Jacob in front of me.
“No, you can’t dad. He did nothing wrong”
“He betrayed the pack, Lucy.”
” Like you wouldn’t if it was mum”
“No I wouldn’t, I would have sought fucking help if our roles were reversed. He made a stupid decision that could have cost your life”
“I will go with them, Lucy,” Mitchell says, touching my arm. Ace growls at him but doesn’t do anything.
“What will you do to him?” I ask.
“Avery is on her way, she will get in their heads and see who is telling the truth and who isn’t. If what he claims is true, then I will think of letting him home. Argue with me Lucy I will banish him”
“Melana?” I ask.
“Josie said she left the City, we have no idea where she is” Jacob says and Mitchell slips out from behind me. “It’s fine Lucy, Avery will see okay” Mitchell says, kissing my temple before stopping next to Jacob.
“You two I will deal with later” Ryker tells him walking back to the car. Mitchell hesitantly gets in and I go to go with him when Tyson grabs me, tossing me over his shoulder.
