I laughed, “Isn’t that enough?” She replied, “For how you feel? No, I’m going to need more. Cole, Parker, Bradley heard it from me when I was talking to someone when they were little. It’s not a secret, sadly.” My dad made noises of annoyance. Aunt Haley asked, “WHAT?! It would be nice sometimes if it was a damn secret instead of EVERYONE f*****g know my business all the time. If people had to search for trauma to throw in my face it would be pretty damn nice, but do bitches have all the stories to throw at me? They do.”
She added, “A f*****g cunt told TJ about it. You can’t control every facet of everyone’s life. So, let’s not try. There is no need to feel bad because s**t happens and you didn’t say it to hurt them or to upset anyone. Your motivations matter here. You did nothing wrong, and there’s no crisis for me to solve. You just put everyone on f*****g notice that if I don’t like their damn feelings my ass is popping to them until everyone understands I solve the motherfucking crisis’s. Capiche? I’m told that means I’m asking if you understand me..”
My dad busted up laughing. She said, “Yeah, your feelings count in my new life motto too so you all just watch the f**k out. I’m going to be ALL up in everyone’s business. I’m told that doesn't mean your literal businesses.” I put my hand over my face and started laughing.
I said, “You got it all right and I’m duly warned.” She said, “Good.” She popped out and I looked at my dad and we both just started laughing. He said, “I’ll make sure everyone knows she’s about to be all over us.” I replied, “You should use that feeling to do it back to her.” He asked, “What?” I pointed out, “It would be fair in her mind for you to do the same for her.” He winked, “Thanks, son.”
Maddox shouted, “H!” My dad said, “That’s new.” Lincoln jogged after him. He said, “My god, did he up his cardio? Come back here! Stop running so fast.” My dad started laughing. He commented, “You could run more, Linc.” Lincoln gasped, “I am telling my mother you said such blasphemous words.”
Maddox said, “I want the bounty hunter community to go DOWN!” My dad said, “I think I missed something.” I snorted, “You did.” I told Maddox, “They are going down pretty hard. We will have Uncle Gunner look into whoever is looking for the shifter with the Yule Cats. You can have them.” Lincoln gasped, “You made us run over here AT A DEAD SPRINT because you wanted to kill people? My god, I could be taking a nap you dick.” I snorted and my phone beeped.
Kingsley: I’m going to see Melanie.
Me: I’ll see you in black mountain then.
Kingsley: We’ll see
Me: What the f**k does that mean?
She didn’t answer so I groaned. My dad asked, “What?” I said, “My mate is going to Black Mountain.” Lincoln hummed, “Me wonders where H is going to go? I bet stay here. Don’t you, Maddox.” Maddox huffed, “No.” Lincoln said, “I thought mated and getting ALL the s*x you’d have more fun.” Maddox ground out, “People want to KILL my mate.” Lincoln grinned, “And I have someone in the dungeons for you to beat up that was mean to our mates and children. LET’S GO! ONWARD!”
My dad waved, “Bye, H.” I snorted, “Bye.” He asked, “Do I need to be worried? Are they going out for the Resistance?” I groaned, “f**k! Come on dad! I just thought she was doing something crazy with Melanie.” He gave me a look like he didn’t believe that which I didn’t either. Lincoln yelled, “Our mates have done things in black, but admitted it is on off stuff. They said there was usually an element of danger. So take that how you wish.” I opened a portal to EJ and Alexander's office.
Alexander’s surprise reached me in the bond but I just sat down. He hung up his call while looking at me. EJ asked, “H, what are you doing here?” I answered, “I was texting my mate, and she said she was coming to see Melanie. Melanie is here, so I am here. What’s going on?”
Alexander muttered, “We don’t know. My mate’s been planning so hard she woke me up.” EJ snorted, “He was convinced he was actually planning something.” I laughed, “I see.” I sent a warning through my family then texted Uncle Gunner.
Me: I’m going to need you in Black Mountain. Melanie is planning something and my mate is involved. You’ll probably need to track them down at some point. My mate should have her phone on her since she was texting me on it. I know Gabe’s mate isn't involved in this plan since they are having s*x so no need to worry about her.
Uncle Gunner: A challenge. I’m coming.
A portal opened and Uncle Gunner and Uncle Harper came through. Uncle Gunner said, “I am ready to try to track down multiple mates should you feel the need.” Alexander answered, “Did you have your Hackura Ceremony? Can you feel Kingsley?” No, and that felt like a very big mistake today.
I answered, “We haven’t had it yet. I was thinking after the holidays if her mission wrapped, but we might have to have it sooner. I can feel her through the mate bond, and ever since she showed me her other side we are connected.”
He asked, “Is Melanie connected to her then too?” Not to my knowledge. I shrugged saying, “No, this was a mate thing that her other side did when I met that side of her.” EJ asked, “And that other side is?” I laughed, “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” Uncle Harper sent me he would believe me no matter what I said. I sent back he wouldn't and he rolled his eyes.
Dylan Frost burst into the room. He happily announced, “Oh, but I would believe you.” He was the literal only person I wouldn’t doubt that wasn't a Fairy. He did have Fae blood, be it a smidge, though so maybe that was key.
He continued, “These fuddy duddies are no fun; however, I am the epitome of fun. I am REMISS that I did not know our very own crown ninja assassin prince found his mate. Not only that, but people do not know what she is. Now that I know my Beta detective skills are on the case.” The only way he’d guess is if he said it as a joke and I wouldn’t tell him he was right.
Alexander asked, “Why are you here?” To cause chaos. That was literally the answer to why he was here practically every time he came. Dylan smiled, “Well, MMSGAP I’m always around. Get used to it. Or I will stop telling you helpful things like your mate went through the window in her office and is now in the pack house.” She did know there was a front door, right? She did know that was a thing she could use.
He continued, “Visiting a partial fairy and former fake hunter and his mate.” EJ and Alexander stood. Alexander asked, “She’s with Nate and Paisley?” Dylan nodded, “Should you not be able to figure out why, come back here and I’ll listen to the details. I’ve got a pretty good idea already, mind you, but it would be no fun to tell you now. Though you should know. I’ve been around you all long enough there’s a bit of common sense in that brain, and I lined up the pieces for you so nicely. You’re welcome.”
I asked, “Why?” Uncle Gunner said, “What he said.” Dylan pouted, “Telling is no fun.” I disagreed, “It will be so fun. You can regale me with all your knowledge.” He cooed, “You do speak my language. I’ve noticed that about you. You’re the mover and the shaker of puzzle pieces. Nate’s sisters are missing. MelAshley must have found them.” Are you f*****g kidding me? I texted Kingsley.
Me: Are you going out for the Resistance?
Kingsley: Surely you know I can’t answer that.
Me: Yes, you clearly can. How? I’m not sure.
Kingsley: Maybe I’m counting on hot post mission s*x.
Me: Count on it and stay safe or I'll spank you ass so red you won't sit for a week.
Kingsley: I feel like you think that's a deterant but it sounds funs.
Me: Stay safe. That's a demand not a request.
Kingsley: Always, big boy.
I said, “They are going out.” Dylan squealed, “That’s what I’m talking about. I now know things about your mate.” I asked, “Like what?” He answered, “She’s a seasoned woman in a relationship. She communicated so relationships aren’t new to her. That’s good. You need someone in step with you because you’re so ahead all the time. Then you have her being on a team probably in control and giving control so she gave you detials. A yin to yang. She's bobbing and weaving. We applaud her. She also made you smile which makes me want to shake her hand. Oh look, everyone joined us.” My dad put his hand on my shoulder. I was better equipped to handle my mate going out, but I knew this was going to be a risk. They were rescuing people that obviously weren’t easy to find.
I locked eyes with my Uncle Harper and he nodded that Uncle Gunner was trying to get answers. Said Uncle was typing away. Having faith in Melanie running an operation was something I wasn’t used to having to do. Normally it was me, dad, mom, or my Grandpa running people. I had faith in Melanie, but I also knew if someone touched one hair on my mate’s head they were dead.
Happy Thanksgiving!!! I told you I'd get this done. I burned midnight oil and used nap time to my advatange LOL I came totally prepared to get this out!
Who do you think is going to get Harriah and John? The Hackura or K? Who wins this race?! I'd say poor John and Harriah don't know their time left in the world is short, but they suck so... H is not having good feelings for Kingsley's family. ANGELS HAVE BEEN HANDED OVER! LUCIFER IS PISSED!!!!!!! They are on the hunt for who taught Melanie hacking. Do you they think they get a list before Charles comes in? Haley has a new motto for dealing with things. This should be fun :) Because the Hackura also adopt this motto (for now) We are going into rescue Nate's sisters!
