""That's wasn't very funny ya know.
"" Axel said with a playful glare.
He tried to keep a straight face, but a smile broke out and we all started to laugh again.
""Really? Because I thought it was.
"" I said with a smirk.
He stuck his tongue out at me and poured his milk and me a glass as well.
I thanked him and he smiled at me then left to go sit at the island.
""So what are we gonna do today?"" Elyse asked.
""Video games!"" The twins yelled.
""You guys always play video games.
"" Mark said laughing.
""They are really fun.
"" Stephan commented.
""Ya come on.
Skylar and I will kick your asses.
"" Elyse said with an evil smile.
""Your so on.
"" Ryan said.
I laughed and made my way into the game room, but of course I was stopped by Axel.
""Can I help you?"" I said in a fake irritated tone.
He just smirked at me and pulled me into his chest.
""That little action you pulled this morning, will not go unnoticed.
You're gonna get it later.
"" He added a wink after that.
My mouth fell open and he chuckled.
""You might be a little sore in the morning.
"" He whispered after he laughed.
I growled and he just smiled innocently and threw me on his shoulder.
I yelped in surprise and he made his way to the game room.
He's in so much trouble.
I thought to myself.
""No, that would be you.
You're in trouble.
"" Axel said while poking my side.
""Stupid min-linking thingy.
"" I said out loud.
He laughed and kept on walking.

"Chapter 29: Okay, deal
Skylar
Well right now, we are playing halo 4, and it's Elyse and I with some computer players against Mark, Axel, Caleb, Stephan, and the twins.
""You're cheating! There is NOO way you girls are winning.
"" Ryan starts complaining.
""Ya.
I have to agree with him.
"" Mark says frantically pressing buttons.
""You know""¦just because we are girls, doesn't mean we can't beat you guys.
"" I said.
""Ha!"" I just shot Turner.
*evil laugh*""Boo ya!"" Elyse yells giving me a high five.
""Cheaters!"" Axel and Stephan yelled.
""Are not!"" Elyse and I yelled back at them.
""Uh huh!"" ""Nu uh!"" ""Uh huh!"" ""Nu uh!"" This went on for about 5 minutes.
Until I blew Axel's head off.
""In your face! Girls rule!"" Elyse and I busted out into laughter.
""How are they this good?"" Mark asked Caleb.
""How do I know.
"" He said back to Mark.
""Have you guys ever played this game?"" ""Nope.
"" Elyse and I said in unison.
""I'm just pushing random buttons, and it seems to be working.
So I'm just gonna keep on doing it.
"" I said smiling.
""Same.
"" Elyse agreed.
A couple minutes went by and I turned to Elyse.
I gave her my ""I-have-a-plan look.
"" She nodded and giggled.
""Hey guys?"" I asked scared.
""What?"" They said still trying to beat us.
We need 2 more kills, then we officially win.
""Um, did you guys hear that?"" ""Hear what?"" Axel asked.
""Ya I heard it too.
It sounded like the door opened.
"" Elyse said worried.
""It smells weird too.
"" I added.
The guys stopped playing and sniff the air.
""I don't smell anything.
"" Caleb said.
""Are you sure.
I do.
"" I said scared looking around.
The guys put their controllers down and looked around.
I gave Elyse a look and we moved our players so I was in front of Axel's player and Elyse was in front of Ryan's player.
We both nodded and got our guns ready.
""Are you guys sure? Because I don't-wait a minute.
Why are you girls smiling?"" Stephan asked us scared.
""Guys""¦they're smiling.
That means""¦uh oh.
"" Turner said pointing to the screen.
Elyse and I laughed and push the X button.
Axel and Ryan got blown up and the girls win!""We won!"" Elyse said jumping up from the couch.
""I know!"" I yelled and I gave her a hug.
I turned around and looked at the guys.
""Okay.
Now, we are cheaters.
"" I said laughing.
""That's not fair! Rematch!"" Mark said whining.
""Come on! That was totally unfair.
"" Axel said in the same tone.
""Nah.
We don't feel like it, we are tired.
"" I said smirking to Elyse.
She nodded and we walked out with our arms linked together.
We heard growls and knew it were the boys.
I whispered to Elyse.
""Come on.
Lets go find the water guns.
"" She laughed and agreed.
We ran outside and looked by the pool in one of the sheds.
""Hello Luna.
Elyse.
"" A lady bowed to us.
""Are you looking for something?"" She seemed really nice, she had a nice figure with blonde hair and green eyes that sparkled in the sun.
She was gorgeous, I wished I was that pretty.
""Um yes actually.
Do you know where the water guns are at?"" I asked her.
She laughed and nodded.
""They are over in the bucket there.
"" She pointed to the other side of the shed.
""Cool.
Thankyou so much.
"" I said smiling.
""Anytime Luna.
"" She bowed again and walked away.
We scurried over to the bucket and pulled out 2 super soarers.
We ran over to the pool and filled them both up.
I heard the back door open, so we hid behind the pool.
""Where did they go.
I can smell Skylar's scent, but I can't find her.
"" Axel said looking around.
""Lets go search over there.
"" I saw Turner point.
""Lets get 'em.
"" Elyse said.
We moved around the pool and I set my phone on one of the tables.
Elyse and I jumped out behind them.
""3.
"" I started off to count.
""2.
"" Elyse said next.
""1!"" We both screamed and squirted the guys.
They turned around and we started to spray them again.
By the time we were out of water, the guys stood their with their mouths wide open and soaking wet.
""Look at them Elyse!"" I said on the ground laughing.
""I know! They are all wet.
"" She said falling on the ground dying of laughter.
We were so busy laughing, we didn't realize that we both got picked off the ground and were being carried over to the pool.
I wiped the tears coming from my eyes and looked up.
When I looked up, my eyes popped open.
""Oh hello Skylar.
How are you?"" Axel said smirking still carrying me over to the pool.
""Put me down.
Now.
"" I said.
""No I don't think so.
You got me all wet kitten.
"" He said with amusement.
""Please? Te quier
o mucho.
You are so sexy and really strong.
"" I said pleading.
""Aw thanks babe.
I love you too.
"" He said then dropped me in the pool.
Right as I came up from the water, I saw Ryan drop Elyse into the pool as well.
I turned around and saw Axel standing their with his arms crossed, dripping wet from the soaker, and a smug smile.
I walked over to the edge where he was standing.
""Hah.
Very funny, now help me out.
"" I said smiling at him.
He stuck his hand out and I grabbed it.
I got out, but that was after I pulled him into the water.
I snuck up behind Stephan and Caleb.
I pushed them into the water next to Axel.
Axel starts to laugh and the twins and Mark jump in.
Axel turns to me and I wink.
He rolls his eyes and starts talking to Ryan.
I was about to jump in when my phone starts ringing.
StephanI saw Skylar about to jump in when her phone rings.
""Hello?"" She asks.
I wait a second and her eyes go big.
She turns to me and I can see fear clear as day in her eyes.
I think Axel felt it too because he turns to her and his eyes start to get darker by the second.
She sees Axel out of the corner of her eye and masks her fear.
""Hey Stephan.
Can you help me with something in the kitchen.
My mom needs to know what spice to use in this salsa thingy she is gonna make.
"" ""Sure.
"" I said.
""Are you okay Skylar?"" Axel asks concerned.
""Ya I'm fine.
I'll be right back.
"" She smiles and turns to walk into the house.
Everyone turns to me and looks uneasy.
""I think it's Tyler.
"" I said quietly.
""Ohh.
"" Everyone says.
Axel has informed the entire pack about the deal Skylar might make with Tyler, and everyone is watching her like a hawk.
He even has some guards secretly following her and she hasn't noticed yet.
Hopefully it stays like that.
""Stephan.
"" Axel says to me going to alpha mode.
""You need to listen to that entire conversation.
Don't miss out on a single detail, got it?"" ""Yes alpha.
"" I said nodding.
I went into full bodyguard mode.
Axel assigned me as Skylar's bodyguard every time she went out, but we have gotten close.
So Axel said I could be her personal bodyguard at all times when he is not around.
""He is not getting our Luna.
"" Mark said going into full beta made.
""No he isn't.
"" Caleb said going into full Third mode.
""And if that little asshole touches her, he is dead.
Along with the other 2 guys.
"" Elyse said.
Right now, she is in full bestfriend mode.
And I haven't seen her like that since the incident at the mall.
And when she gets into her full bestfriend mode and the bestfriend is in trouble, it isn't pretty.
She had been extremely overprotective of Skylar.
Almost as much as Axel, but no one could ever beat him on that.
He is scary overprotective of her.
I nodded to everyone and walked inside.
She is sitting in the living room with a few tears that are starting to show.
She put her finger over her mouth and turned on the speaker.
""How about I make the deal.
"" Tyler said.
""What?"" Skylar spat.
""How about.
You just come with me and I will leave your family, friends, and Axel alone.
"" ""You can't take me away from Axel.
"" ""But you're my mate, and I want back whats mine!"" He yelled.
""He is my mate, not you asshole.
"" ""Listen Sky.
You shouldn't really call me names, I can easily start a war.
You will come home with me either way.
So hand yourself over the easy way and no one gets hurt.
Or, I can kill everyone you love and you still come home with me.
"" ""But-"" she started to talk before Tyler cut her off.
""Skylar!"" He yelled.
""Fine.
"" She said defeated.
I felt bad for her, she looks so vulnerable, so innocent.
I can't believe this man has broken her, and made her entire life hell.
It's awful seeing someone so sweet and kind like this.
Ya maybe she is crazy, scary, and mischievous, but that's what makes her Skylar.
That's why we love her.
""Good girl.
We will meet at the clearing on the northwest part of your territory at 10 pm sharp.
Not any sooner, not any later, or else we start a war and the people you love will die.
"" ""Okay.
"" She said quietly.
""Now, I will see you tomorrow baby.
And remember, come alone.
And I don't care about Cody and Jake.
Just leave them in the lock.
I don't want you to bring any attention to yourself.
"" ""Okay.
"" She repeated just as quietly.
""Good.
See you soon kitten.
Adiós.
"" He laughed evilly.
""Bye.
"" She spat and slammed the phone down after ending the call.
She picked it up and threw it at the wall.
The phone shattered and I turned around and saw her crying.
She didn't even try to stop them, she just let them fall freely.
I ran over to her and pulled her into my chest.
I held her in my arms and she continued to cry on my shoulder.
""Shh, it's gonna be okay.
"" I whispered into her ear.
We sat there for about 10 minutes and she stopped.
""Lets go back to the pool.
It might be the only fun I will ever have for awhile.
Or forever actually.
"" I nodded and we headed back.
She was extremely quiet and that glint in her eye was gone.
Every time she was happy, her eyes sparkled brightly.
But now, they hold sorrow and misery.
She looked terrible.
When we got to the pool, she jumped right in.
Probably to cover up the tears that were escaping again.
She did her little fake laugh she does when something isn't going right and she doesn't want anyone to know.
Axel looks at me and nods then wraps his arms around her and pulls her close.
""˜She is meeting him at the clearing northwest part of the territory at 10 on sharp.
If not, a war is gonna break out.
' I mind-linked him.
""˜Okay.
Thankyou, I will tell all of the warriors and guards about it.
A war is gonna break out anyway.
Thankyou very much Stephan.
' He replied.
I nodded and got in the water.
Tomorrow night is gonna be a long night""¦"
"Chapter 30: Meeting time
Skylar
Today has been probably one of the worst days of my life.
All day I have been extremely quiet and I have locked myself in my room.
Axel came up many times asking me if I was okay.
I just gave him the same excuse every time someone else came up and talked to me.
""I'm having lady problems.
"" It has gotten so bad me not talking, that they even called my brothers and their mates, my parents, and the pack doctor.
Yes""¦Axel kept calling the
pack doctor every 10 minutes.
He finally decided to just stay in the house all day if Axel needed him again.
The only person I would talk to, was Stephan.
Since he is the only one that knows whats going on.
""What time are you meeting him again?"" Stephan asked me.
""10 pm sharp.
"" I replied quietly.
""Okay.
So, you and I are going to walk to the clearing I'm meeting him at, and once I see him I'm gonna be like ""˜hey, I just want to be alone now.
I'll be back in about 10 minutes' or something like that.
Then you are gonna say ""˜okay' and leave.
"" Stephan nods looking sad and worried.
""I'm only doing this to save lives Stephan.
I don't want to go with him, but I have too.
Lo siento.
"" I sob quietly and he pulls me into a hug.
I grab a fistful of his shirt and cry on his chest.
He holds me close not wanting to let me go.
I stop after about 5 minutes and look at the clock.
""Come on.
It's 9:30.
We should probably go.
"" I said regretting it already.
""Okay.
"" He replied quietly.
We made our way downstairs to see Axel, Mark, and Caleb passed out on the couch.
I give them each a small smile and head out the door.
But before I made it outside of course, I was picked up and slammed into a chest.
""Where the hell do you think you're going? You locked yourself in our room the entire day without talking to any of us and now you think that you can just up and leave us?"" A very pissed off Axel asked me.
""II was ju-just going for a w-walk.
"" I stuttered out feeling terrible for lying to everyone.
I looked down and heard Axel sigh.
He turned me around and gave me a giant hug.
A couple tears slipped out of my eyes and landed on his shirt.
I clung to him for dear life.
""Are you okay babe?"" He asked me.
He was concerned but for some reason, he had this look in his eye.
I couldn't put my finger on it, but it looked liked""¦.
.
he knew something.
Crap.
.
Think of something Skylar! ""Ya I'm fine.
I just feel terrible because I haven't talk to you guys at all because I don't feel good.
"" That could work""¦""Oh.
It's okay, you didn't feel good.
Don't feel bad.
"" He said while kissing my forehead.
I nodded.
""I'm gonna go for a walk to see if it will help with my stomach.
"" ""Okay.
"" He paused.
""Stephan.
"" He said sternly.
