"Leo?" I looked up. It was Claire, Emileah, and Sahara. They looked down at the burning pile at my feet. Claire stepped forward to question me. "What are you burning?"
"The Rez Rogue shirts, the few that I could scrounge up. And a few posters. Plans that I had drawn up-"
"Did you go find this stuff by yourself?" Claire asked sounding a little concerned.
"No, Hunter helped me. He had a few shirts stashed at his house still." I explained and turned back to the small flame.
"Are you okay with this?" I glanced back at her quickly then turned away again.
"I'm fine." Emileah made a sound indicating she didn't believe me. Sahara scolded her though Emileah paid her no mind. She was being infuriating. "Did you want to say something?" Emileah's amused look dropped. She took two steps toward, evidently thinking I'd shrink back from her.
I wouldn't give her the satisfaction.
"Yeah, how's it feel to finally be on the flip side of Leah's wrath?" She said it very darkly, eyes narrowed.
"Emi-" Claire started but Emileah silenced her with a hand.
"He needs to know." I need to know what?
"No he doesn't!" Sahara said and it startled the rest of us considering she never raised her voice to Emileah who was looking quite surprised as well. "Just leave him alone." She said, returning to her meek sounding voice. "He's got enough to deal with, this won't help anything." I looked between them, confused as ever. I wanted to question them but I knew no one was giving me much to work with yet.
"Speaking of, when are you guys leaving?" Claire asked and Emileah sighed in aggravation. Sahara glanced at me nervously. It took Claire a few seconds to realize she had said too much I my presence. "I mean uh-"
"Forget it, cat's out now." Emileah said I frustration. "Mom gave us a few weeks, month and a half at most."
"Yes, our parents agree that we've been docked too long." Sahara added. My eyes widened. This had been the longest amount of time that the policing pack had stayed in one place. I could only wonder what had happened in the past month in terms of the Haven attack. Everyone was remaining tight lipped around me. Emileah was studying me.
"You hear that Leo, you've only got a few weeks to prove you're loyalty or you're staying here. I suggest you get to work." With that Emileah snapped her fingers and the other two girls were following her away.
I knew now why Tre always said Emileah was an alpha born and bred.
A/N: This is prob the shortest chapter ever but I don't wanna start combining scenes like I did in the other three stories. Soooo randomly small chapters it is!
