The Alpha and His Hunted Kitsune Princess

Done Running Pt.3

Remi said, “Preston must be happy.” Sora sighed contentedly in my head. I jolted, “What in the subject change are you doing?” Remi chuckled, “Let my Gamma blood go all Gamma on you. Preston’s sister in law is home and his brother is settled. The Resistance chick, who is definitely Ashley, obsession with making Alpha Alexander happy has had benefits for Preston.”

Remi gasped, “OH! I heard TEA about that.” I asked “Huh?” Remi giggled, “Some Merida chick is slated to die.” I admitted, “Ok, I think you’ve officially gone off the reservation with your diversions here.”

Remi chuckled, “Nuh huh. Remember when I told you about that Witch that set the bar in hell for your crush Preston?” Sora made a noise of anger. I gritted out, “Yes.” Remi said, “Well, her name is Merida and she gonna die.” She’s emphasized the double n to sound like a scary movie line we’d watched together.

I snorted, “I can’t believe she’s not dead already.” Remi snorted, “Really? The Hackura like to torture people. It’s kind of their thing.” I conceded, “True. I’m surprised she held up.” Remi cooed, “Whose your favorite gossip?” I answered without hesitation, “You.”

Remi shouted, “I know that’s right!” Karl muttered, “Remi? What’s going on?” Remi cooed, “Nothing my lovely husband. Go back to bed.” Karl huffed, “Don’t cause chaos if you’re sending me back to sleep.” I heard a kiss then Remi said, “No physical chaos.” Karl groaned then I heard a door shut.

Remi said, “Now, I’m out of the bedroom and he can’t complain. Anywhooooo, the doctors in the Hackura realm kept her alive. Once when the evil Witch's heart almost gave out, the Fairy Princess brought her back.”

I snorted, “Wow. They really don’t like her.” Sora agreed, “We hate her and she’s the worst. She’s LUCKY I can’t RIP HER TO PIECES! I would make it hurt.” Remi knowingly teased, “How does Sora feel about all that?”

I answered, “You know how she does. She wasn't MERDIA,” Sora took over to say her name angrily, “to die in some terribly horrible way.” Remi cooed, “You’re in such good luck, Sora. Merida is going to be blood eagled in the Hackura realm and has been tortured for around a year.”

I snorted, “What did this situation have to do with her getting slated to die?” Remi said, “Well, Preston was upset and they needed something to calm him down. So, that got scheduled.” My heart ached for him.

Remi assured me, “He’s ok now. All is well.” I should’ve helped. What the hell Piper? Sora agreed, “We should’ve.” I snorted, “We don’t know him.” Sora offered, “Yet.” Remi said, “Oh, and get this! Guess who got the email with instructions after the sniper took shots at Male Lead Warrior Jason.”

I asked, “Which Male Lead Warrior Jason?” Remi answered, “McAlister.” What in the world would Ahsley have against him? Sora offered, “Maybe he didn’t reach out to her as a Lead Warrior herself and she thinks he looks down on her because of it.” Maybe. It felt wrong, but that was a solid theory.

Remi said, “So, who got the details? I know you know as my should be co-leader of running everything.” I snorted, “Obviously Alexander.” Remi chuckled, “Yes. Some snarking and the Resistance hung up on them and sent Alpha Alexander additional details.”

I changed the subject, “Shouldn’t you be resting for the funeral?” Remi replied, “I wasn’t sleeping anyway. Karl, the jerk, just passed out on his pillow like the man has no cares in the world. I cannot believe he just falls asleep literally thirty seconds after his head hits the pillow.”

I bit my lip so I wouldn’t laugh because I’d heard this a million times. Remi scoffed, “I mean seriously, sometimes I think he’s a serial killer. Who else can just be like now I sleep THEN SLEEP?! It’s maddening I tell you. How does he do it? How does his brain not tell him things?! I try to go to sleep and my brain is like: Heyyyyyy remember that super embarrassing moment you had when you were ten? Let’s think about that again. Like b***h I don’t care about that anymore! Does my limbic system care that I don’t care? No! Embarrassment floods me even though I DO NOT CARE!”

I snickered, “Yeah, you know I don’t always fall asleep when I want either.” Remi groaned, “The brain is the biggest d**k out of all the organs and you know the uterus tries to claim that spot, but no it’s the brain.”

I replied, “I dunno the whole pain and cramps thing because we aren’t pregnant is pretty awful.” Remi snorted, “True but the uterus doesn’t have all the ingredients to make you happy at all times and withholds it. The damn thing is like I’ll give you that precious cortisol if you RUN! f**k off! Just give the good stuff! I AM IN CHARGE HERE! Then my stupid brain is like nahhhh you want endorphins? Run. Such a d**k. The brain could make people happy all the time, but does it? No. Brat.”

Sora cackled in my head. I admitted, “That’s a good point.” Remi shouted, “I know! That it doesn’t make sense why the brain just can’t make you happy all the time! Or why the damn thing is like let’s think about all our anxiety and everything you have to do when you want to sleep. I was just awake for an extended period of time. This is NOT the existential crisis moment! IT IS SLEEP TIME!”

I snorted, “You can always have Karl s*x you to sleep.” Remi scoffed, “I could if the rat bastard didn’t just fall asleep thirty seconds after his head hits the pillow. I swear to you, sometimes it’s instantaneous. His head hits his pillow and BAM he’s asleep. More than once we are HAVING A CONVERSATION and he starts snoring.”

Remi huffed, “I really feel like I deserve a medal for not bulging him with his precious pillow when he did that.” I replied, “I don’t think you can bludgeon someone with a pillow, Rem.” Remi sighed, “Don’t come at me with logic. I could’ve done it.” I snorted, “You could smother him.”

Remi scoffed, “No, that would make him and his precious pillow too happy. It has to be bludgeoning via pillow. That way it betrayed him as he did me falling asleep mid conversation.” Karl groaned, “Are you still going on about that? It was six months ago!”

Remi retorted, “Go back to your mistress, the pillow.” I laughed, “Remi.” Karl growled, “I don’t have a damn mistress.” I teased, “You’re about to get claiming s*x to sleep.” Remi replied, “Gosh, it’s like I planned that.” Louder to Karl she said, “You probably love that damn thing more than me too. It’s insulting really. Who loves their mistress more than their fated mate and wife?” Karl growled, “REMI!”

I laughed, “You are pushing him.” Remi replied, “I know and now he’s fully awake away from his mistress.” Sora cackled in my head. Karl growled, “Hang up the phone.” Remi said, “I’m talking to my best friend and keeping her thoughts from spiraling, Karl. Attend your pillow mistress. She’s practically weeping without you.”

Karl growled. Remi said, “Ok, so are we off the spiraling thoughts train, Pipes?” I sighed, “I don’t know. I want to take the fight to him.” Remi said, “Then we will do that, but once you and I have a plan.” Karl demanded answers, “What fight?”

Remi giggled, “Your mistress awaits you, Karl.” Karl growled, “Remi, I swear to god.” I said, “Ok, we can make a plan but we need to get on it.” Remi squealed, “A NEW WHITE BOARD TO ORDER! Who is excited? It’s me! Yes! We will make an epic plan and take the fight to that jackass who doesn’t even understand what he’s unleashed.” Karl asked, “You’re going after the Ninko?!” Remi replied, “Obviously.”

Karl shouted, “Obviously?! You and Piper don’t have enough details to that.” Remi replied, “Hence me talking her off the ledge and starting to plan. Duh. Keep up. Your mistress makes you slower.” Karl growled, “Hang up that phone.” I laughed, “Go on, Remi.” Remi said, “Only because she’s off the ledge and our plan is made. Hold on, I need to order a white board. A fancy one with rollers.”

Karl growled, “Remi.” Remi teased, “You’re such a grump when you take yourself away from your pillow mistress.” Karl huffed, “Stop saying mistress! It’s a pillow for god’s sake Remi!” Remi pouted, “I think you’ll have to prove to me that you love me more than her.” I cackled as I heard the phone clatter the ground. Karl growled, “There will never be anyone but you, Remi.” I hung up the phone so they could have some privacy.

One day, I’d have a love like they did. One day, I’d be safe and no longer running. Because the fact of the matter was, I was a Crown Princess. I needed a solid plan and then I’d take the fight to that asshole. I’d get a name and then he wouldn’t be able to hide. I was coming for him now.

Nathan McDermont's mate died and Jane and Madeline were taking. Remi and Piper just want people to listen to them gosh darn it! If only somone had, they really had it all solved when you think about it. They were not affected by cookies though. The Ninko has the ability to make people look real, but they don't have a scent. That makes Piper and Saro realize they weren't real.

Hazel was looking for Piper as well. They are off and running, but the Alpha blood in Piper HATES running a lot. Granpda Ralph ate a cookie one while he was there in allied territory and he and Piper had a little spat. They quickly smoothed it over thanks to Hazel.

Once Hazel went to sleep we saw Remi's Gamma blood shining. She's getting a new white board and glaring at Karl while he sleeps. LOL It's really his pillow's fault when you think about it. Poor Karl, the man was just trying to sleep but now he's got other priorities, like claiming his mate ;)
