The Married Alpha and His Arrow

Too Good for the Troll Pt. 2

Heath laughed, “You are the one who’s not careful in this family. Going around getting stabbed and shit.” I said, “Hey! You’ve been stabbed too!” Heath laughed, “Touché. I don’t like you getting hurt. Did I take you away from your string?” I shook my head, “No, we did lunch. We had dinner plans, but Sally…” Heath sighed, “But Sally. Poor kid. I can’t imagine her pain, and I don’t want to.” I sighed, “She seems over it really. She said she knew they weren’t going to be forever.” Heath looked away, “That’s just tragic. I trust our goddess implicitly, but I have to wonder why she did this to Sally.” I sighed, “I’m sure Noah wasn’t supposed to be like this. He had choices and he made the wrong ones.” Heath said, “I’m kicking his ass when I get back. He will know you are NOT his. Not now or Ever.” I said, “Don’t tell him about my string… Please Heath. I’m so scared he’ll do something drastic.” Heath said, “I won’t tell him. When Haley confirms this isn’t tampered with…. Text me. Noah might be in pain when she rejects him.” Heath scoffed then added, “It will be telling.”

        I frowned, “What do you mean?” Heath said, “Noah doesn’t deal with our people when someone is rejected. I have had two of our people be rejected. The pain tore them apart. They were down for a week barely eating in sheer agony. I made sure they were somewhere private, so no one knows. Based on this tape… I doubt Noah will be in pain. He will be angry. If he truly loves Sally, as he should, he’ll be incapacitated. He doesn’t know that though. He doesn’t know how to portray being rejected as he has everything else in his life apparently. Now I question if he was even sorry our parents died.” I said, “How did your meeting go about that? To find out about our parents.” Heath frowned, “It was a bust. There was the start of a contract to kill our parents, but it was unsigned. The payment didn’t come through. They didn’t have a record of who wanted the contract in the first place. It was all anonymous. They were supposed to meet for payment and the contract signing. The caller never showed. The demons heard the next day our parents were already dead. Don’t worry Lex. I’ll never give up. I’ll find out who took them from us.” I sighed, “Or just took mom from us. You know cause dad’s possibly out there.” Heath said, “He’s not, but if he is… he’ll join mom shortly. I’ll kill him for doing this to us.” I didn’t say anything. I just rubbed Heath’s back. He didn’t mean that.  I agreed with him though. Our dad wouldn’t do this to us. Heath stood, “Thank you for telling me what happened with Noah.” I shrugged, “You’ve never asked before.” Heath said, “That’s all I have to do now? Ask?” I shrugged and nodded. Heath laughed, “Damn. I’ve been going about this the hard way.” He gave me a hug. “I’ll take care of Noah. Go be with your friends. Text me when it’s a done deal. Things are getting quite interesting.” I nodded and hugged him back, “I love you Heath.” Heath laughed, “I love you too Lex. Talk to me next time. Ok?” I nodded and we parted. I took off running back to my friends.

        I ran inside through the back door, and found Sally and Ted watching a scary movie. I snorted and crept behind the couch. I jumped up and screamed. Sally and Ted screamed, and I heard growls outside. “Damn. Forgot to close the door.” I laughed. I ran back outside the front, “Sorry! I just scared them. Snuck up behind the couch during a scary movie.” Kincade snorted, “Thanks for the warning.” I said, “Anytime.” I ran back inside and closed both doors. Ted was holding his hand over his heart, “LEXI SCOTT! You are LUCKY we all live a long time because you just scared a decade right off my lifespan.” I laughed, “Couldn’t resist.” Sally said, “Is everything ok with Heath?” I filled them in. Sally snorted, “Of course he can’t even tell the truth when my life has been threatened.” She went over to the game, “Let’s play.” We’d decided we’d do winners as a round. We had five cards each and whoever had the most was the winner and so on. After the first round, Ted had won, I got second, and Sally was last. Ted ran and grabbed the phone from the counter. He grinned as he dialed, “Hello, Noah. This is a flower shop. We were unable to deliver your flowers today. We couldn’t find your address, but I have a message I’d like to read for you.” He paused. Sally had her hands over her mouth. Ted said, “Great! Ok, the message is Hope you get better soon.” Ted paused, “Oh… You’re not sick. Let me see...Oh here’s there’s more. I know you’re not sick, but you suck in bed.” Ted hung up. Sally and I howled in laughter. I yelled, “OH MY GOD TED!” Ted said, “What? You gave me that nugget of pure gold! I had to use it.” 

        We went outside and grabbed our Noah picture. I hung it and grabbed the bow Haley’s left on the porch. I sank three arrows into him. One in each eye and the third in the middle of his forehead. Sally squealed, “You are so good!” I shrugged. Sally looked at her drink. Chugged it then stripped down to her underwear. She ran around the house screaming at the top of her lung, “THE TROLL IS NOT WORTHY OF SALLY f*****g QUAID!” We were laughing, and I could hear the guards laughing. Some were clapping. Opal shouted, “AMEN GIRL!” We went back inside. We all ended up in our underwear running around the house screaming at one point. The wolves were in hysterics laughing at some arrows that flew by. We’d taken to adding to Haley’s saying for running around the house. The more we drank, the more laps we ran while screaming things about Noah. Noah had gotten PISSED about the prank calls. A couple of them we were just laughing hysterically on. After twenty rounds I’d gotten to prank him again. I ran outside, “One of you wolves have to prank call the troll! I want to see what you’ve got.” They laughed and Joanie stepped forward, “I’ll prank call the troll.” Ted said, “YES GIRL! I love her! FUTURE BABY MOMMA PEOPLE! BEST CO-PARENTS EVER!” Joanie laughed. Haley popped in and looked amused. “The triplets are down for the night. Seems I missed a f*****g lot. Prank calling the troll?” I laughed, “He’s so mad.” Sally said, “He’s so mad that stupid vein in his forehead is probably popping out.” She started laughing. Joanie put the phone on speaker and dialed.

        Noah answered, “WILL YOU STOP CALLING ME!” Joanie said, “Excuse me sir? This is your phone provider? We are testing your service due to an increase in activity.” Noah sighed, “Fine.” Joanie said, “Great. If you could repeat after me.” Noah said, “Fine.” Joanie smiled, “I’m not the girl.” Noah said, “I’m not the girl.” Joanie said, “That you lost.” Noah repeated her words. Joanie said, “I’m the girl you failed to keep troll!” Noah shouted, “STOP CALLING ME!” Joanie hung up and gave us the phone back. We stepped back inside the barrier and Haley took it. Ted was running around the house screaming about Noah being a troll. Haley held the phone up letting Noah listen. She hung up. “You’d think he’d stop f*****g answering if he was going to whine about people calling him.” Sally laughed, “He’s too controlling. He wants to believe that he can make it stop.” Haley snorted, “Only if we want it to f*****g stop.” I said, “You know who we need?” Haley laughed, “Who?” I said, “Luna Reagan! I helped her put together a barbecue. She's fun!” Haley’s eyes narrowed, “Alright. I know her. I’ll be right back.” Haley popped back in with Reagan. “I give you Luna Reagan who is probably linking her very confused mate.” Haley closed her eyes and snapped herself a martini and drank two of them quickly. Sally squealed, “THAT’S THE SPIRIT!” Reagan said, “Umm… what’s happening?” I grabbed her three shots for her, “Catch up! We are getting our girl Sally over the troll!” Reagan laughed, “The troll?” 

           Haley said, “Lexi’s horrible ex. Sally’s soon to be rejected ex, and we begin project get Sally a better man. Mind you I was already f*****g working on that project. I have so many projects. I have one that clearly needs more attention before s**t hits the fan. WHY IS THERE NOT ENOUGH f*****g TIME IN MY DAY?” Reagan laughed, “I don’t know.” She slammed her shots. Haley smirked, “I like her.” Reagan said, “Good. I want to be friends.” Haley said, “With who?” Reagan laughed, “With you!” Haley turned shocked, “ME?!” Reagan said, “Yes, with you. Friends. You and me.” Haley laughed, “Did you hear that Lexi?” I said, “I did.” Haley smiled, “I’ve got friends.” Ted said, “GIRL! We have been friends for six years; you’re just catching up to the party.” Haley laughed and snapped us all strawberry martinis, “That calls for a f*****g celebration. To having friends!” We all clinked glasses and Haley slammed her drink, so we did too. Reagan laughed, “God. I needed this after my day.” I frowned, “What happened?” Reagan sighed, “The specialist I went to said we have a twenty percent change of having a pup.” Haley snorted, “Get over her b***h. I’ll fix you right up. If you want to go into heat, I’ll pop you home.” Reagan’s eyes bugged out, “No, you don’t have to do that.” Haley said, “b***h, no one makes me do anything. Get your sometimes furry ass over here and let me heal you. Then we have to snap everyone fabulous outfits and take sexy pictures of Sally to send to Noah. It’s important that he know what he’s f*****g missing.” Reagan laughed, “Oh alright. I don’t want to go into heat. I’m due for one around New Years anyway.” Haley nodded and a glow surrounded them. Sally smiled, “She’s just…. Awesome.” Ted laughed, “She is.”

        Once Haley was done healing Reagan. She popped over to me, “You first.” She snapped and I looked down, “DAMN HALEY!” She’d snapped me into a black one shouldered dress. It has material in strategic places with material missing all around it. Ted said, “OW OW! Me next!” Reagan woke up and laughed. While Haley snapped Ted into a new outfit while I changed Chase’s name in my phone. I changed it to My Guy just in case she saw the name. Ted was in an all black outfit too. Haley turned to Reagan and snapped her in an outfit. I laughed. Haley had clearly decided no more black. Reagan snorted, “Cameron’s going to eat his tongue.” Reagan had an off color red dress that was low cut with a belt around it. Haley snapped herself into a long sleeve dress with cuts across it. Ted laughed, “Your wolf will die!” Haley shrugged, “I’m not actually going anywhere in it. He’ll be fine.” Reagan snorted, “He will RIP it off you. If that’s what you mean by fine, then yes. He will be fine.” Haley turned to Sally, “You’re next!” She snapped and we all gasped. Ted shrieked, “SALLY QUAID! WHERE THE HELL HAS THIS BODY BEEN HIDING?” I said, “You look great Sally.” She looked down and twirled. She was in a skintight hunter green dress with a sweetheart neckline. She laughed and Haley snapped all our hair and makeup done. Ted took pictures of everyone individually. I sent them to Chase. Ted and I took some pictures together after I took some of him to send to Matt. We’d sent the both of them dozens of pictures of us together, with Reagan, and the whole group. 

        Heath called me. “Going for a record today big brother.” Heath laughed, “Noah is breaking things. Sally looks very nice in her dress. The fairy princess sent him pictures of her face and her finger… flipping him off.” I laughed, “Of course she did. Want a group picture?” Heath laughed, “Will Haley's wolf claw my eyes out?” I said, “Not if he doesn’t find out.” Heath laughed, “You guys are drunk.” Haley shouted, “WE ARE TIPSY!” Heath laughed, “You are, but only because you can’t get drunk.” Haley said, “Sorry we can’t hear you! We are about to dance around to Taylor Swift!” I laughed and Haley turned on a song called twenty-two. Followed by picture to burn. Where she took Sally outside and we burned the picture of Noah after we’d taken it off the tree. Ted bumped me, “She might have to use google, but the girl does break ups right.” Reagan laughed, “She does.” She looked down at her phone, “UGH! Annoying man! Haley, can you pop me back home? I don’t want to ruin this dress by running. Cameron insists I come home.” Haley popped, “Be right back!” She popped away. She’d actually taken a bit longer to pop back. She was giggling when she did. I said, “Haley?” Haley said, “Oh… Eric was with Alpha Cameron.” I heard several werewolf snarls. I said, “He’s going to follow you.” Haley clapped, “CATCH THE TIPSY FAIRY HAS BEGUN!” Everyone laughed. We went inside but came back out when we heard more snarling. Eric yelled, “WHERE THE f**k IS SHE?” Haley giggled. Kincade explained, “It’s a fairy protected house. You can’t see it.” Eric growled, “Angel… get out here!” Haley cackled, “But I’m winning!” Eric said, “You’re cheating.” Haley laughed. She hugged Sally, Ted, then me. She looked me in the eyes, “You can tell me anything you know.” I smiled, “I know.” Haley studied me then popped to the barrier.  “Let’s see how quick you can catch the tipsy fairy, Thor.” She popped away. Eric growled and shifted taking off after her.

        Sally fanned herself, “Her husband is hot. I want one that looks like that. Please war goddess.” I laughed. We went inside and found comfy clothes set out for us. Sally laughed, “She just doesn't miss a trick.” I snorted, “She doesn’t.” Sally said, “I want to stay dressed up. We look hot.” I made us all drinks and we went into the living room to watch Jumanji welcome to the jungle. We were all laughing. Ted found a drinking game, and that’s how we watched several more movies. I checked my phone. Chase had finally answered. I laughed. He’d wondered if I knew how hard he was. I texted back, “You still hard big boy?” He replied, “Yes, I’ve taken like three cold showers at your place. I’ll have to pay your water bill this month.” I laughed. I went to show Ted, but both he and Sally were asleep. I ran outside. Kincade came out, “Good lord you can hold your liquor.” I laughed, “I can. I’m going to see Chase. I’ll be back.” Kevin said, “We will come with you.” I took off running. I reached my porch and yelled, “SLOW POKES!” I ran inside to find a startled Chase. I jumped on him. I kissed him deeply. He pulled back, “Well Hello.” I grabbed his face, “I missed you.” He laughed, “Did you?” I wrapped my legs around him, “Yes! I missed you so so much! Missions are going to suck. Maybe I’ll just skip the planes and run REALLY fast back to you. I’m like…. super fast.” Chase laughed, “I have a private plane. It’s always available to you.” I laughed, “How rich are you? Jesus!” Chase said, “We are well off sweetheart.”

            I giggled, “I love that you call me that. My dad used to call my mom that.” Chase smiled, “I’m glad.” I kissed him again. He sat us on the couch, and we made out like teenagers. We were groping each other, but he didn’t take it any further. I smiled, “Not into sexy time?” Chase laughed, “Oh… I am, but you’ve been drinking. I don’t want you to regret anything with us.” I frowned, “I wouldn’t.” Chase said, “We can drink together sometime, and if that’s the goal of the evening we can have sexy time.” I pouted, “No fair!” Chase laughed and hit my nose with his index finger, “You’ll be fine.” I said, “Someone’s trying to make Heath think our dad is alive. I heard you met him tonight. He liked you.” Chase was startled, “Your dad? I didn’t meet your dad.” I laughed, “HEATH! Silly wolf. You met Heath. Well… you met the Hood.” Chase said, “I did.” I nodded, “Well, he liked you.” Chase said, “So you said. Let’s hope that doesn’t change.” I snorted, “He demoted the troll.” Chase laughed, “So now you all call him a troll?” I said, “Haley’s nickname.” Chase said, “Of course it is. I got reports of you all screaming it among other things running around Ted’s enchanted house. Your guards were sad they couldn’t see it.” I laughed, “You won’t be. We were in our underwear.” Chase growled, “WHAT?” I laughed, “Haley’s rules.” Chase rolled his eyes, “Is that why Alpha Conners was in my territory?” I snorted, “No, you saw her dress in the group photo, right?” Chase said, “I didn’t look at anyone but you. You’re captivating.” I snorted and pulled up my phone. “That’s so insanely adorable. Haley healed Reagan tonight. Cameron texted her multiple times demanding she come home. Haley popped her home, and Eric was with your brother.” I showed him the group photo.

        Chase coughed, “Oh good lord.” I said, “Haley said they could play capture the tipsy fairy.” Chase stared at me before he started laughing hysterically. “The most feared Alpha is running around the area trying to catch his tipsy fairy?” I nodded and started laughing, “It sounds silly when you say it that way.” Chase said, “This is the best thing I’ve heard all day. I need to get someone to film that.” I said, “Oh I doubt they are here anymore. Other than tracking down that bookie guy, what did you do?” Chase said, “I questioned a prisoner.” I said, “Did you get what you needed?” Chase frowned, “Not yet, but I will.” I nodded and grabbed his face and straddled him. He smiled, “Hello there.” I whispered, “I have a secret.” Chase smiled, “I can keep a secret.” I laughed, “Ok, but you can’t tell Chase.” Chase snorted saying nothing. I said, “I love him. Chase, I mean. You can’t tell him though because I’m scared. He’s broken down all my walls so fast. He’s invaded every part of me. I need him, but I can’t tell him. So no telling Chase I love him. Okay?” Chase stared into my eyes, “I love you so damn much Lexi Scott.” I giggled, “Our kids will be so cute.” Chase laughed, “They will. We are a damn attractive couple. Do hood members have human pregnancies?” I shook my head, “Nope.” Chase waited then said, “How long are your pregnancies?” I shrugged, “Depends can be four to six months. I don’t know of a wolf couple so I don’t know where we will be. Hood members with other hood members tend to four months. Hood members with human strings are usually six months. Then those that mix together with other supernatural's tend to be five months. So who knows? Not I.” Chase laughed, “You’re a cute drunk.”

        I said, “Pshhhh. I’m not drunk.” Chase said, “Oh sweetheart, you are quite drunk.” I said, “Nah! Hey! I’m hungry! Let’s go get food!” Chase smiled, “How about you change first? Then I’ll drive you to a twenty-four-hour diner around here.” I ran upstairs and grabbed sweatpants and a shirt for Chase. I came back down and held out my hands. Chase laughed, “Yes?” I said, “I want your hoodie. You smell so good! Your hoodie will smell good. I brought you a shirt from upstairs.” Chase laughed and took off his hoodie. “No need for the shirt sweetheart.” Chase had a shirt on underneath his hoodie. I sighed, “You’re so hot. WHY are you so hot?” Chase snorted, “Genetics. Let’s go drunkie pants.” I sighed, “I told you… I’m not drunk. You’re not remember things. Are you drunk?” Chase said, “Whatever you say drunkie pants. I have not had a single drink tonight.” He led me outside and opened my car door. “Such a gentleman. I thought those were dead. Or is chivalry that is dead? Whichever it is. It’s obviously not dead because you’re him. Maybe it’s because people don’t know about werewolves. You guys are nice. Eric dotes on Haley, and you dote on me. OH MY GOD! Sally needs a wolf! KINCADE! Are you single? My friend Sally is super pretty!” Kincade came out laughing, “I haven’t met my mate yet Luna Lexi.” I groaned, “Call me Lexi. Chassseeeee…. I’m hungry.” Chase laughed, “Alright.” He shut the car door and talked to Kevin and Kincade then got into the car. I poked his shoulder. He looked over smiling, “Yes?” I kissed his cheek, “I love you.” Chase smiled, “I love you too. It’s a secret though remember?” I nodded, “It is a secret. We can’t tell Chase.” I put my finger over my mouth and said, “Shhhh.” Chase laughed and turned on the car.

    “Hey! How did you know where the keys were?” I asked Chase. Chase said, “They were on the table beside the door.” We drove about fifteen minutes before we got out of the car. We got out and everyone stiffened when Chase walked in. We sat down. “You own this place too, don’t you?” Chase laughed, “I do.” The waitress came over. She smiled flirtily at Chase. I said, “Hey lady! He’s mine. Go get a new waitress. I don’t like you!” Chase laughed and the girl ran away. An older woman came over, “Sorry about that Alpha. She’s new around here and human.” I sighed, “Can I have water? Lots of water. Like five glasses...OHH a pitcher!” The waitress bit her lips, but couldn’t hide her smile, “Sure you can.” I said, “What’s good here?” The waitress smiled, “Our waffles are the best in three counties. It’s an odd combination, but our fries are good too.” I said, “I want all those things.” The waitress laughed, “Alpha?” Chase smiled, “I’ll have a burger and a vanilla milkshake.” My eyes lit up, “OH ME TOO! I want a burger and strawberry milkshake.” Chase laughed. The waitress said, “So no waffles?” I shook my head, “Waffles, fries, burger, milkshake and… oh do you have onion rings? I LOVE ONION RINGS!” The waitress said, “If you can eat all that I’m going to need to know how you’re such a tiny thing.” I said, “Oh I can. I run...a lot. I’m very fast. One second I’m there the next I’m a mile away.” The waitress left and returned with six waters and a pitcher. I drank them all. 

        Chase was trying not to laugh. I said, “So what don’t you own around here? OH I need to run to my P.O. Box when we are done here.” Chase said, “I own a lot around here, but you should say we. What’s mine is yours. Where’s your P.O box?” What’s mine is his? God… is he going or ask me to marry him? I’d marry him. I shook myself “It’s about fifteen minutes from here in the other direction.” Chase said, “Not my territory, but we can pick it up.” I smiled, “Thanks! Kind of important for sexy time.” Chase laughed, “Oh god... Do I even want to know?” I laughed, “Gotta pick up my birth control.” Chase snorted, “I probably should’ve asked you about that.” I said, “You should’ve. Guys should be just as responsible as women.” Chase nodded.
