The Married Alpha and His Arrow

Getting Some Answers Pt. 2

        Matt said, “Did you not see your sister-in-law in the pictures?” Matt zoomed in on Reagan on his phone. “How the hell did she get there?” Matt said, “Probably the popping fairy princess.” I sighed and called Cameron. “Chase.” Cameron answered, “I’m not alone.” I said, “Oh, who’s there.” Alpha Eric said, “I am.” I wanted to groan. I had to change what I was going to say. “I called because I wanted to hear how Reagan’s appointment went with that specialist. She had that going on today, didn’t she?” Cameron said, “The news she got wasn’t great. She was distraught, and when Princess Luna Conners popped into to get her and I was told where they were going; I was actually happy. Reagan was so down; she needed a girl’s night. The Fairy Princess healed her tonight though.” I said, “Oh, that was kind of Haley. I’m surprised Reagan doesn’t have you upstairs.” Cameron said, “She might if she was here. The fairy princess popped her away to some breakup party. Reagan has been drunk testing me. Apparently, the princess used google to know what the steps were used to getting over a breakup. They have charmed ice cream that can’t melt. A TON of alcohol, and pizza that can’t get cold.” Matt said, “I want all of that. She has to plan ALL the parties.” I laughed, “Well, I’m not sure what steps google lists, but I am glad Reagan is having fun. I’m also glad Reagan was healed. I know how much that will mean to her.”

        Matt linked me, “Should bring up the flying arrows so Alpha Conners doesn’t get suspicious about you and Lexi.” I linked Willow, “What did you tell Alpha Conners specifically?” Willow said, “That our Beta Male informed the Beta there would-be arrows flying and yelling going on.” I said, “My people informed me they told you Alpha Conners to watch out for flying arrows. Seems Ted and his friends are drunk. Yelling things about a troll, and what not.” Alpha Conners laughed, “Our young warriors have made it into a game. They have to dodge the arrow. Our pack doctor is beside himself.” I snorted, “You aren’t going to stop them?” Alpha Conners said, “They can’t get seriously hurt. It’s something you do when you’re young and dumb. If someone gets hit with an arrow, they won’t do it again. It’s how they learn.” I laughed, “Well, glad you know. Little brother, I can’t wait for news about my future niece or nephew to reach my ears.” Cameron laughed, “Her next heat should be around New Years. Don’t expect us at your party.” I said, “You have to host your own damn party! You’re an Alpha now.” Cameron laughed, “Goodnight Chase.” I smiled, “Goodnight little brother.” I hung up. Matt said, “Ted said they had to get dressed up according to Haley. Then they sent Noah pictures of how good Sally looked. He had her in seductive poses. Haley snapped a rose for a picture and had Sally put it in her mouth and laid down on the couch. Apparently, they sent him over fifty pictures of sexy sally. Oh… Ted’s mom is calling me.” I snorted, “Hope you aren’t in trouble. Willow, go ahead and head back.” Willow nodded, “This is the most fun guard assignment I’ve ever had. I wanted to thank Derrick for suggesting me.” I nodded, “I’ll let him know.” Willow left in a hurry.

        Matt answered the phone, “Anna, how are you?” Anna laughed, “Oh… my son is causing problems here.” I raised an eyebrow. Matt said, “Would this happen to be about sexy drunk fun pictures?” Anne laughed, “It is. The princesses wolf will s**t bricks about her dress should he see it. According to the stories about him I’ve heard from my Ted. Now, our former lieutenant.” I dropped my phone I’d been using to study Lexi in her sexy pictures. Heath had already demoted Noah? Anne continued, “Is throwing a fit. They’ve been blowing up his phone with prank calls. Moron won’t stop answering. He’s such a Control Freak. Anyway. My boy… he fancies himself a photographer. He’s actually very good. We sent him to camp every summer for three years when he was in high school. Him and Lexi. He refused to go without her. He does have an eye for it. Sally looks beautiful in his photos.” I linked Matt, “Ask what Noah is doing?” Matt said, “Why is your lieutenant upset? His string looking beautiful is nothing to upset over.” 

        Anne laughed, “Oh… you’d think he’d be quieter about it all. His father has been trying to calm him down. His mother, poor thing, left the scene in tears. His brother called him a f*****g moron and left to go after their mom. He’s the only semi decent egg in that family I tell you. It’s his mother’s DNA fighting for him, I just know it. My own Tony, you remember Ted’s father, is out there trying to calm Noah down. He broke everything in he and Sally’s place. Even kicked the door off. Said she’s never dressed up like this for him. He was FUMING mad the princess sent a picture of her face and her middle finger. Said he’d teach her to disrespect him. The hood himself knocked some sense into him. He told him never to threaten the princess of the Hackura again. Seems the dolt forgot about that side of her family. It’s most exciting. The boy deserves it. We all think so. I myself never bought his cockamamie excuse about Lexi. Poor girl. I see her as my own. Joined at the hip with my Ted all their lives until that wretched man broke her heart and forced her to stay away. Lexi’s brother gave him what for though. Told him to leave her alone or else. Her brother’s or else… is something. Let me tell you Matt my boy. I was cheering right there from my window. Tony says I’m addicted to drama. I told that man, he had to know our son got it from somewhere. It’s OBVIOUSLY me. My Tony bless his heart is a peacekeeper.” Matt laughed, “Well, you go enjoy your show. I’ll check on Ted later.” Anne said, “See that you do. My little boy has never been away from home this much. You all come visit you here? Maybe you can get my boy to come see me tomorrow? I do miss him. I’m so very proud of his business. I made Tony go get the supernatural news. They were featured in it. It’s so amazing!” 

        I nodded to Matt leaving him to talk to his soon to be mother-in-law. She was just as chatty as her son. I see where he’d gotten his gift of gab. I was about to shift when I saw Derrick staring at his phone. “Derrick?” Derrick straightened and put his phone away, “Alpha.” I said, “Are you alright?” Derrick said, “Yes… no… I don’t know. This girl… Sally. Can I meet her?” I shrugged, “I’m sure you will. She’s going to be gone for a few weeks though.” Derrick’s face fell, “Oh.” I said, “She’s going to reject the troll they are shouting about. She’s not even sad about it anymore. Haley is going to take her to a different realm to get some space and distance. She will be back soon though.” Derrick said, “Well… when she’s back.” I said, “I don’t see why you couldn’t.” Derrick smiled, “Ok… thanks Chase.” He took off. The hell was his deal. He’d never mooned over a girl’s damn picture before. I thought about… could he...no. I shifted and ran to Lexi’s. I was halfway there when I felt someone following. I sighed. It was my dad. I ran to the border and sat there for a while. Then I ran the entire border of my territory. I lost my dad and doubled back to Lexi’s place. I walked in her front door. Lexi had sent more pictures. Ted had put her in seductive poses too. I groaned and dragged myself upstairs to Lexi’s shower. The cold shower nor relieving myself was helping. By the time I’d taken three cold showers and jerked off countless times; I gave up. My mate was just hot. That dress did things to me. Her full pouty lips with red lipstick was... f**k! My phone buzzed. Lexi had answered me. Maybe I could get some phone s*x. Maybe that would help me.

        I was walking through the living room when Kincade linked me, “Incoming.” I whirled about to head out the door to help my pack fend off an attack. Instead Lexi zoomed into the house and practically tackled me. I’d barely braced myself in time not to send us both to the ground. She kissed me. Bolt and I both wanted more, but I could tell she was very drunk. I didn’t want to take advantage. She’d mentioned sneaking away, but not having s*x. I should’ve f*****g asked. Kevin linked me, “You got her? Alpha Conners was here.” I said, “I got her. I’m sure it was to get Haley.” Lexi started talking about missions and missing me. I told her she could use my plane. If Kevin and Kincade were going with her, she might as well. They’d tell me where she was in their reports anyway. Using my plane would be faster getting there and getting home. I smiled when she said her dad called her mom sweetheart. It’s what my dad called my mom too. I’d always grown up wanting to call my mate that. We made out for hours. My d**k was very unhappy with my brain’s choices to not have s*x with her. When I explained to Lexi my position on sexy time tonight. Her pout almost made me reconsider. Then she started talking about thinking her dad was alive. Then she said I met him. I most certainly didn’t meet her dad. She clarified I met Heath. Oh god… she was the most adorable drunk. She said he liked me. Odd. I didn’t get the impression he liked me. He even seemed upset with me about something. Respected that I’d come, but I did NOT get a like vibe from the man. He even said he was surprised I was there. None of that read that he liked me. She started ranting about Noah being a troll. She told me it was Haley’s nickname for Noah. Of course it was. I still liked mine. Dead mother fucker. I growled when she told me they were running around in their underwear. Opal and Willow would’ve had to guard them if the guards could’ve seen them. Only I would see Lexi in her underwear. She said they were playing by Haley’s rules. I’m sure that’s why Alpha Conners was here then. Lexi laughed saying Haley popped Reagan home and Alpha Conners saw her dress.

        Dress? What dress? I hadn’t really looked at anyone but Lexi in the group photos. Lexi zoomed in on Haley and I almost choked on my own spit. Was Haley insane? Alpha Conners would destroy that dress. f**k, he’d destroy any man who LOOKED at her in that dress. I was going to delete all the group photos from my phone, so he never knew I’d seen it. Lexi told me the Conners were playing catch the tipsy fairy. I linked my warriors on border patrol on that side of our territory, “If ANY of you see Alpha Conners chasing his fairy princess around and don’t get videos of it; I’ll give you the worst patrol duties for six months.” They all snorted, “We haven’t seen them yet. We will keep an eye out.” I said, “His tipsy fairy is popping away from him.” They were all enthused. Lexi asked what I’d done with my evening. Mostly questioned Wyatt. She asked if I got what I wanted. I hadn’t yet, but I would. Lexi got back in my lap and clapped both her hands on the side of my face. I laughed. She told me she had a secret I couldn’t tell myself. I didn’t know what to say to that. Before I could answer she told me she loved me. Everything in me froze and happiness exploded from my very core. She told me she was scared, and that she needed me. That was good. I’m fairly certain I needed her more than I needed air. She started talking about us having pups. My d**k was going to fall off from the lack of relief. Was that even possible? 

        I asked about hood pregnancies, and it seemed we’d be a test group for a wolf and hood member. I disliked that. I wanted to know. I dealt with details not unknowns. I didn’t like unknowns. Lexi was the cutest drunk person I’d ever run into. She was denying she was drunk though. She jumped up saying she wanted food. I was not taking her out in that dress. I’d be shot before men out at this hour saw her like that without my mark on her neck. I could take her to my diner. It wasn’t far from her house. She ran up the stairs using her speed. I went over to the table beside her door and I grabbed her car keys. I heard her come back down the stairs. I turned and had to withhold a groan. She was in sweatpants and a strapless black bra. She held out her hands expectantly but didn’t say anything. I asked what she wanted and couldn't hide my smile that she wanted my hoodie. She liked how I smelled. She’d even brought me a t-shirt. I laughed giving her my hoodie. I already had on a t-shirt underneath it. She started going on about how hot I was. At least I had on a shirt. She’d come down taunting me with her boobs and abs. I answered her and ushered her out the door. She was still not conceding she was drunk. As she rambled about gentlemen and chivalry being dead but not dead. She yelled at Kincade asking if he wanted to date Sally. God, I hoped not, or my Gamma would flip s**t. He was gaga over the girl. Lexi told me she was hungry, so I shut the door to her car. Kevin stepped, “I’m offended I don’t get asked if I’m single.” I laughed, “She doesn’t mean anything by it. She’s very drunk.” Kevin snorted, “She should be passed out possibly deathly ill with the amount they drank. Thank GOD they are supernatural’s. Beta Matt is in the kitchen watching over Sally and Ted to make sure they are ok. Mind you, he’s doing that while talking on the phone with TeleTed… who has not realized Beta Matt...is in the house.” I laughed, “What can you do? Keep an eye for my dad. I had to shake him before coming here. I don’t want him to know about Lexi.” Both nodded, “Yes, Alpha.” 

        I walked around to the driver side and got in the car. Lexi started poking me with her finger when I got in the car. I asked her what she needed, and she smiled the most innocent adoring smile I’d ever seen. She told me she loved me again. I responded and reminded her it was a secret. She nodded seriously and said we couldn’t tell me. Oh good lord. If she remembered this…. It would be very interesting. I drove us to the diner and helped her out of the car. Everyone tensed except one girl who licked her lips. Goddess don’t let her come to the table. I took my usual booth and groaned when the girl I’d never seen before sauntered over. Did she think I found that remotely attractive? In the girl’s defense all she did was smile at me before Lexi snarled at her to go away. I was getting used to being insanely hard, but when Lexi called me hers. I twitched in pain. My d**k and Bolt begged me to use my office here to claim her. I couldn’t do that thought. Lexi was special. A member of my pack came over and we ordered. Lexi ordered a lot of food. The waitress looked at me. I linked her, “Have to go boxes ready.” She nodded and left. She came back with a tray full of waters and a pitcher Lexi requested. Lexi downed all of them in less than sixty seconds. The waitress linked me, “Well, one of those was for you.” I linked back, “It’s not a problem.” The waitress linked, “Your new girlfriend is very cute Alpha. She suits you.” I just smiled.

        Lexi asked what I didn’t own and then said she needed to go to her P.O. Box. She had a P.O Box? For what? I told her she should say we. We owned things. Everything I had was hers. Hopefully soon, I could propose to her. Then she’d have my last name too. My stomach dropped when Lexi told me where her drop box was. It was in Sophia’s territory. We shouldn’t run into any of their pack at this time of night though. She told me she had to pick up things for sexy time. Oh dear god. What did she order? What kind of kink was she into? I was here for any and all of it. My d**k officially hated my mind and where it was going. I turned red when she mentioned it was for her supply of birth control. She absent mindedly put her pill pack on the table. Her period was going to start this week. Based on the pill colors. She only had three days of a period. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t asked her about this before. I didn’t even know if hood members' ovulation cycles were like humans, or if they were like other supernatural’s. I had been quite careless about this. I spit out the water I’d finally snagged before she’d drank it when she said I’d needed to get condoms if she had to take an antibiotic. Wasn’t something werewolves tended to worry about. I didn’t have s*x with humans, and we can’t get diseases. I guess that cleared it up. Hood members ovulated like humans did. f**k! I was going to have to buy condoms. Correction. I’d make Matt have someone buy them. Lexi started talking about Noah’s family. She said his brother wasn’t so bad, and their mom was always sad. I’d be sad too if my son was such a piece of s**t. I’d have stopped that though. I’d have kicked my own son's ass for treating a woman the way he did. Or men if he was into guys. He would not treat those he was interested in the way Noah treated women. Period.

        The waitress brought out our food and Lexi literally had all of her plates of food eaten in less than seven minutes. The waitress linked me, “I guess we don’t need boxes.” Lexi hissed in pain when she chugged her milkshake. I was so angry with myself for not reminding her not to do that. She then requested chocolate cake. Not a piece, she wanted a whole cake. Our waitress laughed, and linked me, “She’s not your girlfriend… is she Alpha? She smells you, and you smell good to her.” I Linked, “On the downlow because of Sophia.” She frowned as she walked away to get Lexi’s cake. She linked me as she got the cake together, “You should tell her Alpha.” I replied, “She doesn’t want to know. I was going to tell her, but she pleaded with me not to.” The waitress sighed, “Well… our future Luna is beautiful.” I smiled, “She is.” Lexi ate her cake, and decided she was full. I laughed. She could put away food like a champ. I told her we needed to go to her P.O Box. She started talking about being cautious again. I wanted to curse Sophia and Wyatt to hell. If not for them I could tell her to f**k being cautious. We could have a pup as soon as she wanted to. Lexi started rambling about how everyone needs a wolf. She then said her brother needed one. Everyone knew the hood’s string had died shortly after he’d found her. I told her Heath would find happiness again. A leader had to have heirs. Their goddess would give him another string.

        I couldn’t help my body tensing up as we entered Sophia’s territory. My jaw locked and Lexi told me to calm down. I couldn’t. I wanted to get out of the car with her, but I didn’t want anyone to see me with Lexi. They could say something about my wife. Who wasn’t my real f*****g wife. Matt linked me as Lexi disappeared inside, “Umm I thought you were cool with Sophia for the moment. Our warriors just told me you crossed into her territory. No killing Sophia without me.” I snorted, “Lexi needs to pick up her birth control. We will be back shortly. I don’t currently have plans to kill Sophia.” Matt said, “Oh ok then.” I said, “I need you to procure condoms. Just in case for me.” Matt said, “That… is the strangest request any Alpha has EVER made of their Beta.” I sighed, “Well, Lexi is apparently like a human with being able to get pregnant. What would you have me do? Knock her up because she has a cold or something?” Matt said, “That would be bad because?” I said, “Oh gee, I don’t know Matt. Oh wait...I’m still married! Because my stupid f*****g annulment papers won’t get signed.” Matt said, “I see your point. I will procure your just in case condoms, you little Alpha weirdo you.” Lexi came out with a box in her hand. She got in the car. She must have gotten candy too. The box smelled sweet. She asked if I saw anyone. f**k! Was someone inside from Sophia’s pack?

            I told her I hadn’t. She finally admitted she was drunk because she thought she saw someone familiar inside. s**t! Was another past mark of hers in town? Wouldn’t they have tried to hurt her? I shook myself and drove us back to her place. She rambled some more, and then said she’d fight someone for me. I did NOT want to think about her fighting Sophia. She said she’d do it her style. Her style was apparently a secret. One that she wasn’t going to tell me not to tell Chase about. I led her inside and she set an alarm on her phone. I waited for her to fall asleep and soon followed her. I woke up to Kevin linking me, “Your dad is running the border.” I groaned, “Let him then. If he gets closer. Let me know. Kevin said, “Will do.” I got up and made Lexi an omelet. I opened her fridge and found some Gatorade. Normally I’d look for Advil or something, but she wouldn’t have any in the house. I went back upstairs and handed her the glass of Gatorade as soon as she spotted me. She didn’t even know how she’d gotten here. I laughed. She didn’t remember that she’d told me she loved me and that she needed me. I recounted last night's events for her. Lexi asked if Kincade could be Sally’s second chance mate. I brushed that off. No, he’d have noticed when he met her but… oh f**k me. Was that Derrick’s damn problem? I guess time would tell. Lexi ate my omelet that I’d made for her. Her little moans of delight were killing me slowly. She left quickly when she was done, and I grabbed her dishes and began to clean up the kitchen. I could smell Lexi, her freshly brushed teeth when she came back to kitchen. Quickly followed by the scent of her arousal. She kissed my shoulder blade telling me to take her back to bed. She did not have to tell me twice. Seeing her in that dress then in my clothes had been pure torture. She had no idea what seeing her in my clothes did to me. She didn’t get it because the clothes were baggy on her. She could wear a garbage bag and be beautiful. I wanted to take my time with her, but she was impatient. That was it. I was going to plan a quick vacation for the two of us. Somewhere I could keep her with me, and not all the running around hiding her. Or losing my f*****g dad as a tale. I couldn’t manage it right away, but I’d work on it with Matt today.
