Forbidden Bonds

Chapter 26

Sebastian

The next few days, Sebastian spends time with Skye, trying to repair the damage he'd done to their relationship. The day the other alphas are supposed to come arrives fast. "Skylar," he says, "Alpha Silverstein is almost here. Do you want to go meet him with me?"

Skye looks at him nervously, "O...okay," she reluctantly agrees.

He takes her hand and they make their way to the main packhouse. A few minutes later, Alpha Silverstein arrives. "Alpha Sebastian!" he booms, "It's nice to see you again!"

"Nice to see you too, Alpha Silverstein!" he answers, just as enthusiastically.Skye hides behind Sebastian, startled by how loud both men are.

Alpha Silverstein's eyes stop on Skye. "Who is this?"

"Alpha Silverstein, this is Skylar. Skylar, Alpha Silverstein."

"Ah, so you're Skye!' Nice to meet ya!"

"Hi," Skye squeaks out, nervously, still hiding behind Sebastian.

Charlotte comes out of the packhouse. "Alpha Silverstein, how are you?" she asks, hugging him.

"Luna Charlotte, always nice to see you around!" he answers, "I'm doing well, how bout you?"

"I'm good, did your wife come?"

"Yes, I think she followed an omega up to our room."

Skye

"Skylar," Charlotte asks, "do you want to come with me?" Skye nods and limps over to Charlotte, taking her hand and following her into the packhouse. Eventually, Charlotte stops at a door and knocks.

"Come in!" a woman's voice answers.

"Juniper," Charlotte says, "how are you?" They hug each other. "It's so good to see you again.

"Charlotte," Juniper answers, "I'm good. It's good to see you too."

Skye tugs on Charlotte's sleeve. "Oh," Charlotte says, "Juniper, this is Skylar. Skye, this is my friend Juniper."

"H...hi," Skye says quietly.

"Are you okay?" Juniper asks, "You look a bit peaked."

"I'm o...okay."

Charlotte looks worriedly at her. "Are you sure, sweetheart?"

Skye nods. "T...they're l...l...loud."

"My husband and Alpha Sebastian?" Juniper asks.

"Y...yes."

Juniper laughs, "Yes, they've always been that way."

"O...oh." Skye sits down on the bed. "I...is he a...angry a..at me?"

Charlotte and Juniper look surprised. "Who?" Juniper eventually answers.

"A...Alpha S...Silverstein."

Juniper looks at Charlotte, confusion written on her face. "She overheard Sebastian and your husband on the phone. I imagine he didn't sound too happy."

"Oh, yes, he told me about that phone call. He's not angry with you, Skye. He's angry that Alpha Sebastian kept you hidden, that's all."

"W...will S...Sebby g...get in t...trouble b...because of m...me?"

"That's up to my husband and the other alphas."

Skye lets out another whimper before grabbing onto Charlotte's sleeve again. "Honey," Charlotte says, "it's okay. You just have to meet the alphas. You don't have to be there when they're discussing Sebastian's indiscretion."
