‘Bring your Alpha.’
I smiled.
“Well, then I have to accept,” I agreed.
“You do. And just so you know, she knows. So when she tells me to bring my Alpha it’s not in a way like ‘Bring the Alpha of your pack’, but as in ‘Bring the Alpha you have staked claim on’. Just so we understand each other,” Amie said. I looked down at her.
“You told her?”
“She more or less guessed and I confirmed. I like people knowing,” she told me.
“I like it as well. Can’t wait until everyone knows.”
Chapter 55
Amie
We were back at the stadium. Three games remained and I couldn’t wait for it all to be over. I had been looking forward to participating in the game for as long as I could remember. All the drama and the worry and everything else that kept happening had me feel like I was done with it. I just wanted to go home, shut myself away with Finlay in his house for a week and pretend this month never happened. I couldn’t do that until we had finished the tenth game. So that was my goal. Finlay had told the pack about the new threat and I could feel them closing rank. I should make Finlay go to the different meetings of the packs, I had all intention of forcing him to be social when we got here, but now I hesitated. I didn’t think I had it in me to handle him finding his mate on top of everything. Which made me a hypocrite. I sighed.
‘Hey, Red. What’s wrong?’ Finlay mindlinked.
‘Nothing, I’m just having a little issue with getting into the right headspace,’ I told him.
‘Do you need to sit this one out? It would be understandable,’ he asked.
‘No. I will be okay.’
‘When we get back home we will take a vacation,’ he said. I smiled.
‘I don’t think I want to leave the pack so soon again.’
‘We can hide away in one of the caves on pack land,’ he suggested. I laughed, making others look at me.
‘Thank you, I needed someone to pull me out of my pity party,’ I told him.
‘If anyone deserves to have one of those, it’s you. Let me know if you need another laugh and I will trip Sam or something,’ he said. Before I could respond, the speakers came to life.
“Welcome to the eight game. Today will be a test in agility.”
“That will be it for my brother then,” Finlay mindlinked us. We all tried our best to not laugh.
“The game is to be performed secluded. Ten identical rooms have been set up. By now you know the drill. Wait until your pack is called. Please follow the rules given, if you break them, there will be punishments. We wish you the best of luck.”
‘Time to break out the cards again,’ Ramses said and took out the deck. We got as comfortable as we could and tried to focus on the cards. Every now and then, Sam would make us move around.
“Blue mountain pack, you are up,” an official told us. We packed away the cards and followed him. He let us inside a room with the instruction to stand within the marked area inside the door.
‘The last time we got that direction, I almost had my head taken off,’ Sam said and made sure we all stayed inside the marked square. The room was again about sixteen square feet and on the other side of it, there was another door with a marked area in front of it.
“Welcome to the eight game. In front of you, you have an empty room. The room has lasers across it. If a laser beam isbroken the red light will light. The objective is for each member of your pack to make it across the room to the other marked area. Once a member is across, a green lamp will be lit. Once five lights have been lit, counting both red and green, the game is over. You have two hours to complete the game. When the two hours are up, a red light will be lit for all members who aren’t standing in the marked area across the room. You can use anything you find in the room or have with you. Good luck,” the speaker said.
“Can you see the lasers?” Finlay asked.
“No,” Sam said, and the rest of us shook our heads.
“That will be an issue,” he pointed out.
“How do we make them visible?” I asked.
