(Kyle’s Point Of View)
“Well, got to go, mom and sis,” I said. Cassie and my mom both said, “You never told us who you and the boys were meeting.” I replied, “Oh yeah we are going to meet her cousin Alexander bye.” Then I walked away to find Ben and James. I found James in the kitchen scarfing down a whole pizza by himself.
When James noticed me, he said, “Don’t worry Kyle, Ben will be here in about five minutes. He is getting the third degree from his mom and brother.” I replied, “Alright but he better be here in a few minutes or I will make him regret it.” “Make who regret what? Are you two ready to go yet?” Ben asked.
“You would be the one regretting it if you hadn’t come so quick,” I said. “Now let’s get this show on the road we have to meet him at Dominic’s in twenty minutes,” I stated. And with that, we walk out the door and to the garage to choose our transportation. I chose my favorite car my 1956 Jaguar roadster black with tan interior. Whereas James chose his 1965 Harley Davidson motorcycle. And Ben chose his 1995 Ford F-150.
By the time we get there, he is already at a table with two full plates of wings and a pitcher of Coke a Cola in front of him. We proceed to sit down at the table with him. And immediately a waitress comes and places three more glasses on the table in front of us. “So Kyle you’re probably wondering how I knew you were an Alpha right?” Xander queried. “Well seeing as you’re a warlock I would think that you had been trained to spot other supernatural creatures,” I replied.
He responded with “Well you would be wrong, I knew you were an Alpha because I served in the army with your cousin Frank, And we both shared a lot of stories about our families.” “Well damn he never said anything to any of us,” James noted. Xander nodded his head and said, “Well time for questions, Question one Kyle is Daphne your mate? And Ben is my sister your mate?”
“Yes Daphne is my mate so ask me any questions you want. And I will decide if I will answer it or not,” was my response. While Ben replied, “Yes your sister is my mate and the same goes for me as for my alpha.” And James said, “Hey I’m just here for moral support.” We all just laughed after that because he was the only one of us wolves here that hadn’t found his mate today.
And then Xander got a serious look in his eyes. “So question two Kyle when are you going to tell my cousin that you’re a werewolf and Ben the question is the same for you but about my sister?” Xander asked. I answered in the most honest way I could, “I will tell her as soon as possible but I am not sure if she will accept me.”
“I’m worried about just getting to know your sister and seeing if she will even give us a chance. Once I know if she is willing to give us a chance then I will tell her.” was Ben’s reply. Xander smiled and said, “That’s what I was hoping to hear. Now for question three. What is the name of your pack and how far is it from here?”
“Our pack is called the Silver-wolf pack and it’s about ten miles from here. By the way, what is the name of your coven?” I replied. Xander’s response was “Good it’s not far from us and my coven is called the Golden Crescent Coven.” “So we are neighbors. That’s great so Daphne and Alexandria can visit their family whenever they want,” I stated.
We made some small talk while we ate. Then we got down to more business, “How do you plan to introduce yourselves to my family?” Xander asked. “I am not sure yet, but I was planning on following Daphne’s lead,” I said. James just told Xander, “In every aspect of their life he is going to follow her lead.”
We all laughed at that and I blushed to the roots of my hair. I said through the mind-link to James “You are so dead.” He just laughed at me and said, “Whatever you say alpha.”
Then Ben chimed in saying that, “The Alpha can do whatever he chooses as long as his mate says it is ok.” “Well, Ben you will not only need your mate’s approval but mine as well to do what you want,” I told him.
(Daphne’s point of view)
“Hey, Alexia, how much longer do you think it will be until Xander gets home?” I asked. “Probably about an hour,” she replied. “He has been gone for approximately three hours now. And I’m getting hungry do you want to go to the kitchen for some snacks?” I responded.
She looked at the time and said, “Sure why not? But let’s not get caught by our parents. That way if they are talking about the boys, we can maybe overhear something.” “Let’s go then I’m hungry and curious,” I told her. So we tiptoed down the hall and stole quietly into the kitchen.
“So what are you hungry for?” She asked. “I don’t know maybe some Ice cream,” I replied. “But I’m cold,” She said, “It’s like seventy degrees in here, and you’re cold,” Was my response. She looked at me like I was crazy and said, “So, what does that have to do with it? I’m always cold at night and you know it.”
We quietly argued for about five more minutes before we heard our parents. “Shush Alexia, I hear our parents in the other room,” I hushed her. “Angelo I’m glad that we have a good relationship with their pack, but I’m still worried about our girls,” Uncle Drake said. I looked at Alexia in shock that he had said pack. “You think I’m not worried about our girls?” My dad said. Alexia just started to pick at her fingernails.
My dad sounded very angry. “Now you both know we’re all worried about our girls. But you two need to stop with your d**k measuring contest,” My mom said. My aunt agreed with her “Yeah the girls don’t need to come down and see that.” They both blushed and said, “We are not having a d**k measuring contest.” Everyone in the other room started laughing. As Alexia and I started to laugh silently, but still confused.
“Kyle and the boys are werewolves?” was my thought. She asked me “Do you think the boys are werewolves and if so, why were we not told?” “I think they are, and I think that we weren’t told. Because they were waiting for us and the boys to get to know each other better,” I told her. “Ok, but when were they planning on telling us?” She asked. “I honestly don’t know, but maybe in the next few weeks,” Was my response. My mom, Dad, Aunt, and Uncle all started to go upstairs. So we headed back to our rooms.
(Kyle’s point of view)
“See you later Xander,” I said. “Bye Kyle, I hope my cousin doesn’t give you too much of a hard time. When next you see her,” He laughed. I just asked him, “What all do you think she knows by now?” Before he got in his car he responded, “Probably that you boys are werewolves. And if she knows that then my sister also knows.” Ben blanched at that and asked, “How much trouble do you think we are in?”
“Let’s just say that I don’t want to be either of you gentlemen,” Xander responded. We all then said goodbye as I had my sister bugging me in my head. James was laughing his ass off the whole time. “Shut it beta or sleep in the dungeon tonight,” I said with a sadistic smile. He paled and said, “Sorry Alpha, but you know it is just so funny.” Ben looked at him and told him, “You will rue the day you laughed at me and the Alpha.” We got in our vehicles and headed home. “Cassie please be quiet we are on our way home now,” I told her through the mind-link.
Her response was, “Brother we have had some calls from the Golden Crescent Coven tonight. And Dad said that we have an alliance with them.” “That is my mate’s coven. So why is there a problem?” I asked. “We didn’t know that Daphne was a witch,” My Dad said. “Yeah and her cousin is Ben’s mate,” I told him. My mom asked, “How far away are you?” I responded, “About ten minutes away why?” “Ok because we need to talk to you some more before you go to bed,” Was the response I got. “Ok see you in a few minutes,” I told them.
“See you then” they replied. A few minutes later I got home. And the first thing they said was, “Please come into the living room all of you?” We all filed into the living room. “So what is this all about?” I asked. They looked at each other. Before my mom started by saying, “We spoke to Daphne’s dad and uncle who are understandably worried about possible attacks on Daphne and her cousin Alexandria. Because they are not werewolves.”
“Who would these attacks be coming from?” I asked. My dad said, “From those that don’t agree with you having two witches in your pack. Let alone one as your Luna.” Ben and I just stared at them in shock. Then I said, “If anyone in the pack has a problem with my mate and her cousin then they can leave the pack. And if anyone outside this pack has a problem with my mate and her cousin then they will have a huge fight on their hands.”
“You better believe it,” Everyone intoned. “These possible attacks could also come from rival covens of theirs,” James suggested. “Or other super-naturals that don’t want witches and werewolves joining forces,” Ben’s Dad said. My response was, “Well too damn bad for them, but we had joined forces back around great grandpa’s time.” “I know that, but they don’t,” my mom said. Everyone laughed and said at the same time, “They won’t know what hit them upside their heads.” “Let’s give them hell, and if they’re from there we send them back,” Was my response.
(Daphne’s point of view)
We were talking in my room when we heard Xander pull up outside in the driveway. “Mom, Dad, Aunty Marie, and Uncle Angelo I’m home,” Xander yelled from the entryway. Alexia and I looked at each other and tiptoed down the hallway. To see if we could hear what Xander had to report. My mom asked, “So, what do you have to report?”
“Well you probably already know this, but they are from the Sliver-wolf Pack. And they are trying to see if the girls will give them a chance. Before they tell them that they are werewolves. And that Kyle happens to be Daphne’s mate. Or that Ben is Alexia’s mate.” I gaped at Alexia and she looked as shocked as I felt. “Kyle is my mate” I whispered.
She whispered back, “And Ben is mine I guess, but what do we do about it?” Meanwhile, Xander was saying, “I think the girls will be in the best of hands with those two gentlemen.” “Do you think Kyle will be the mate I’ve been dreaming of?” I asked Alexia quietly. She replied, “I don’t know honestly, will Ben be the mate I’ve always wanted?” “I guess we will have to give them a chance to get to know us and find out,” I told her. “Yeah I guess so,” She responded.
(Kyle’s point of view)
“Ben get some sleep because as of tomorrow you have some guarding to do,” I told him seriously. He responded, “Yes, Alpha I will happily guard our future Luna and my mate at the same time.” “What do you mean by that?” I demanded. “Just that my mate will be at the bakeshop with our future Luna tomorrow,” Was his quick response. “Goodnight delta,” I said. “Night Alpha,” He replied with a small laugh. As I went to get ready for bed I wondered what Daphne was doing.
And what type of clothes she wore to bed. As I was thinking about her I hear a phone ring down the hall. “Who is calling at this time and will someone please answer that phone before it wakes up my little cousin,” I asked. Just then the phone was answered by James. “Alpha Daphne is on the phone for you,” He said. “Why didn’t you tell me? I’m coming,” I replied. I ran from my room and straight to the phone. “Hello Daphne, how are you?” I asked.
She replied, “Hi Kyle, I’m fine I was just calling to tell you that Alexia and I have decided to give you and Ben a chance.” “So you know?” I queried. She responded, “Yes, we know that you boys are werewolves and our mates. But that doesn’t mean we are going to give you an easy time of it.” “We understand that it going to take time for us to gain your trust,” I responded.
Ben had been told that my Luna was on the phone. And now he was right behind me mind-linking me asking what Alexia said about him. “Daphne, Ben keeps bugging me wanting to know what Alexia thinks of him,” I told her. She responded, “Alexia is right here should I put her on so she can tell Ben herself?” “Sure why not but don’t go far as I still want to talk to you,” I told her and handed the phone to Ben as I heard Alexia’s voice.
After about five minutes Ben handed me back the phone and said, “Night Alpha see you in the morning.” Then he walked away singing. I put the phone to my ear saying, “Do you know what just happened.” Daphne laughed “Let me guess he walked away singing Dancing in the rain.” “Yeah, do you know why though?” I asked, “Yeah Alexia told him that it’s one of her favorite songs ever made,”
She replied. “So what is one of your favorite songs ever?” I queried. She responded, “Mama Liked the Roses by Elvis Presley. And you what is one of yours?” I had to think about that one. “If I had to choose just one I would say My Way by Frank Sinatra,” Was my reply. She laughed and said, “Good one Alpha well goodnight I have to get up early tomorrow for my shift.”
My face fell a little when she said that, “Goodnight beautiful. My sister and her friends might be there tomorrow around lunchtime.” I could hear the blush in her voice as she said, “So will my little brother and his friends, and before you ask Jack is only six.” We said goodnight one more time before hanging up. I then went back to my room to take a cold shower as just hearing her voice got me worked up. Then I walked naked to my closet to grab fresh boxers and a t-shirt and went to sleep.
(Daphne’s point of view)
After hanging up with Kyle I went back to my room. So I could shower and get ready for bed. After my shower, I walked to my closet and got out my comfy clothes. Because believe it or not it was that female time of the month. Honestly, all the women in the house were on their periods right now. I know it seems funny but it’s true. As for what I wore to bed it was an old pair of Xander’s sweatpants and a t-shirt that belonged to my dad.
I donned my choice of pajamas and curled up in my queen-sized bed hugging my body pillow that Xander got me for my birthday. As I drifted off to sleep Kyle was on my mind. When I woke up the next morning. The first thing that came to mind was that I was going to meet my mate’s sister today. So as the bakeshop has no designated uniform other than jeans and a decent shirt. I chose to wear my favorite Poison shirt underneath a long-sleeved cardigan. And my favorite jeans were blue and had a rose pattern on them.
Even though my favorite flower is a tiger lily. I put my hair up in a ponytail and applied a little Chapstick. And I was ready to go, so I walked down the hall to the kitchen for breakfast. What I didn’t want to see was Xander making out with some bimbo coven member named Felica. And they were right on the counter. I shrieked and said, “Get the hell off the counter, and don’t ever let me see you doing that again.”
As I said that everyone came streaming into the kitchen. “What the hell Xander?” Alexia asked. “Xander not the appropriate place to do that,” My dad said with a laugh. “Alexander Johnathan Medicini What are you doing on my counter?” was my mom’s remark. Xander paled and said, “Sorry aunty but I don’t want to have any girl in my bed but my mate. And Felica thinks the same, so we didn’t know where else to go.” “Well go somewhere out of the house next time you do have a car don’t you?” my mom responded.
(Kyle’s point of view)
When I woke up my first thought was “What was Daphne thinking and what is she wearing right now?” I know it’s silly to think about stuff like that when you first wake up. But hey what can I say but that is what came to my mind. “Hey Alpha, you up yet?” Ben asked via mind-link. “Yes, delta what do you need?” I replied. “It’s almost time for the future Luna’s shift,” He responded.
“Then let’s get going I will meet you at the front door,” Was my immediate response. “Sure thing Alpha,” he said. I quickly got dressed in my favorite dark blue jeans and a Guns & Roses t-shirt. Then I ran down the steps to the front door. “Let’s go, Ben, I don’t want to be late,” I told him before jumping into my 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
He was quick to slide in beside me. “James you’re in charge until I return,” I told him. Then we drove off towards the bakeshop. It took us fifteen minutes to get there but just as we were pulling in I saw as Daphne, and Alexia walked into the bakeshop.
