Chapter 11

Laura Grace/LG/Gracie – POV

“So, uh, quick question, is there a camera in every room?” Lizzie says with a smirk on her face.

I drop my jaw. And then quickly shrug, “well that depends on that room you want to see?”

Sarah stops mid drink, which is rare, and turns to me with shock in her eyes, “you mean we could have been spying on King Hottie this whole fu@kin time!?”

“Umm Yuck, he is my cousin.” Charlie says with a look of disgust.

“If I admit why I have yet to bring up that camera, you will laugh.” I say covering my face with my hand.

At this point Lizzie and Charlie are standing in front of the couch Sarah and I are currently sprawled across. “Well, don’t tell us, just hand me the iPad!” Lizzie says with her hand out. “But I might need a quick refresher course on how to work it.” She says smiling at me. As Sarah grabs the tablet.

“Ugh, you have to be kidding me, this whole damn time I could have seen him change!” Sarah snaps.

“Again, cousin! Grew up with him, he might as well be brother!” Charlie claps back as she glares at Sarah.

“Ok ladies hold on to your wolves.” Sarah says as she brings up the link. It comes into focus and in the sitting area of the room is a very shirtless Max. I literally groaned. At the same moment I looked over and Sarah was staring wide eyed at my man! Sensing I was looking at her, she looks at me, “what? I can appreciate him, but he is all yours!” She says to me as she turns to Lizzie who has pushed me over close to Sarah so she and Charlie can join us on the couch. “Just wondering what you would have said to Max if he said it was a command?” Sarah asks Lizzie.

“Beat his ASS! Or at least tried to.” Lizzie said staring at the screen. “Oh, something has his attention he is getting up!  Is there audio?”

“Is there audio? Do you even know this system at all?” Sarah admonishes her. At that moment Charlie jumps up. “Wait, where you going?”

“To get the snacks the Omegas left at the bedroom door. You know popcorn, brownies, and Ice Cream?” Charlie says looking at Sarah like she grew a second head. “If this is a sleepover, we need snacks!”

“Carryon my good she-wolf” Sarah says turning back to the TV.

Just as the sound clicks on finally, in walks Travis and Kyle with 3 bottles of Everclear. “Hey, you only gave him one!” Sarah says almost whining. “Jackass is stealing my booze!”

“Well, I may have told the Omegas to slide him two more?” Lizzie says as Sarah and I give her a death stare. “What? They’re big wolves!”

As Charlie walks in with a large tray of Ice Cream, Brownies, Popcorn, Chocolate candy bars, 4 whipped cream spray cans, and cookies. “Seriously, I need to give Mary a raise!” I said as I grabbed the pint of Double Chocolate Chip Ice Cream.

With the sound now on we can hear Travis telling Max the whole truth about Charlie. Travis is sitting on a chair opposite Max with his head down and his hands raking thru his hair. Kyle sits in the chair next to Travis and we can see Max’s face and the back of Kyle and Travis. Max looks in shock. “YOU KNEW? This entire time! Not only did you know where Charlie was, you knew my mate was not dead!” Now Max looks pissed. “Charlie was my best friend growing up! She was to be the first female Beta to the King!” He says standing up and pacing back and forth. “Well at least I now know where she is and bring her home!”

“He can try! Thick headed Jackass!” Charlie says quietly.

Then Max turns to him and points, “how long did you know about Laura Grace?”

Travis is leaning forward with his elbows on his knees and fingers steepled in front of his mouth, “Since the day you walked into the meeting she was having with your Dad.”  I thought we may need to call the pack Doctor for Travis, because Max looked like he was going to rip his head off. Instead he opened the bottle of Everclear and drank almost half the bottle in one shot.

“Oh dear Goddess he can drink!” Sarah said. “Good thing you told Mary to give them 2 more!”

“Speak for yourself!” Charlie says poring it over her Ice Cream.

“That’s gross Charlie!” I say with a turned up nose.

“Don’t knock it till you try it!” As she pours it in my pint. I take a bite and smiled. “SEE!”

As the guys continue drinking their bottles Lizzie turns to me, “Do you think we should send them more?”

“Are you crazy? They will figure out we know what they are doing!” I look at her with a what is wrong with you look.

“Oh, right we are spying!” She says as she goes back to her drink.

As I look back at the TV Max is now asking how his dad knew I was his mate and what about the pain that day on the training grounds. Travis told him, “Well what you felt that day was her pain, she was rejected, and she immediately accepted his rejection, thus opening the door for you. Honestly I don’t think it was ever meant to be with Alpha Henry and her.” Travis states as a fact.

“Alpha Henry and Laura Grace? Yeah, that’s a big no. He barely lets his Luna out of the Pack House, from what I hear he picks out her clothes. Could you imagine telling LG what to do?” Kyle says with a chuckle. “Trust me when I say I saw Lance try and order her once to go to training and she flipped him off and told him he was a loser in front of all the pack warriors. Her brother Trey, Lance’s Beta, was so embarrassed.” Kyle still smiling remembering fondly.

“She’s a real Bad Ass” Max says smiling off into the ground.

“That she is!” Lizzie says giving my arm a squeeze.

With Charlie and Sarah nodding in agreement.

“What the hell am I gonna do?” Max says hanging his head putting the bottle of Everclear on the coffee table and raking his hands in his hair. “She probably hates me! How could I be so stupid? I could feel it the moment I saw her. She is the beginning and end of me!” He says with his hands now covering his face. “And I thought she ran a modern-day brothel!” he chuckles.

“WHAT THE FU@K!” They all screamed. So much for soundproof, all the men on the TV looked at the door! Covering their mouths, they watched in horror! “OMG do you really think they heard us?” Lizzie whispers.

They watched the men go to the door. Then Max stops. As if a lightbulb went off. “Men, I think we have a spy!” He looks up right at the camera. “Hello Laura Grace!” He says with a smirk. “I am coming for you; I will see you soon.” With the screen cutting out his face with a devilish grin the last thing on the screen.

“Oh Sh!t” I say quietly. “Charlie, is the outer door locked?” I turn to her.

“I got you but stay here.” She says whispering.

Sarah frantically goes to the other camera. We are on the West Wing we put them on the East Wing as she pulls up the East Wing she sees them in the hall. “Cut the lights!” I tell her franticly.

“What good is that, They are wolves just like us dipsh!t!” Sarah claps back. “Where is the emergency protocol 1 button.”

“NO! Sarah, NO!” I say to her commanding.

“It will knock him on his ass, and he deserves it! A Brothel!” She says bitter.

Lizzie takes this opportunity to ask, “Can I know what emergency protocol 1 is?” She says ever so sweetly.

“Don’t ask its not done!” I say shrugging my shoulders. “It’s still in its Infancy.”

“Seriously what the hell? Is it like trip wires and swinging axes?” Lizzie asks sarcastically.

“No, but now that you say that…” I turn to Sarah, “make a note of that.”

Sarah still frantically following the men on the screens. “Noted. And if we are lucky your sent will have dissipated from the hall, because they are entering the west wing.” Sarah’s eyes now wide. “What the hell are these guys tracker wolves?”

Charlie walks in at that moment without missing a beat, “they have to be, they are the Kings Guard before Betas. And the King expects his men to know he must possess the skills as well.”  She says as she closes the door to the safe room and engages the lock. “If this thing is what you say it is, we should be ok in here, but I can smell you down the hall. Plus, they know Lizzie and I are with you so, just prepare to have your doors breached.” She states it all as a fact with a sigh.

“They won’t look in the closet! Men won’t look in a woman’s closet” Lizzie says with a shocked face. “Would they?” Lizzie takes the bottle of Everclear and takes a long drink.

“Hi our scent leads right to this space!” Charlie says looking at Lizzie like she has lost it. “How much have you drank?”

“Enough I feel nise and cozzzy. Leth them come. I have a thing or two to tell that Kyle.” Lizzie say slurring some of her words.

“Okay, this one is cut off.” I say taking her drink. “Here have a brownie.”

“They are about to breach!” Sarah says as I hear a bang on the outside door to my room. “And we are breached.”

“Yeah, I noticed. I now have to order a new damn door!” I say yelling at the door to the safe room. “Your paying for that Your Majesty!”  Now I am pissed!

The camera on the outside of the saferoom fills the TV screen. Its him, he looks wild and sexy. I want to walk out there and jump on him, and I don’t mean the kick his ass way.

“Come on out Laura Grace!” He says with a smirk. Behind him is Travis and Kyle standing with their arms folded. “Don’t you know it isn’t nice to spy on your guests!”

“Turn on the mic!” I say to Sarah.

“Um, are you sure?” She asks timidly. I just look at her, “You got it chief.” Sarah states and activates the microphone to talk to the other side.

“Go. To. Bed. Max!” I say boldly. The other girls all holding their breath sitting on the couch as I am standing now looking between the door and the TV screen.

“Only if you are with me! Oh, Laura Grace the things I want to do to you.” He says as he gets close to the camera licking his lips and smiling.

Lizzie stand up, and abruptly almost falls over, and shouts, “Kyle come get the dude you left me for!” I turn to her with a dropped jaw. Kyle looks like he was slapped.

Sarah and Charlie are literally laughing out loud. As Charlie stands and says, “Ok Cousin, that’s enough, we apologize…”

Charlie is interrupted by Lizzie, “Speak for your damn self! I DO NOT HAVE A w***e HOUSE! I AM A DAMN VIRGIN BECAUSE OF THAT WOLF!” She is pointing at the screen.

I put my hand over her mouth. And drop my head. “Oh, my friend, please stop.” I close my eyes as she looks at me with an expression of what did I do.

“Alright Max lets call it even. We spied on you and you called us a brothel. We good?” I say looking at the screen.

“Nope, I want you out here, NOW!” Using his Alpha tone. I felt it before I could stop it, I was walking to the door. Charlie steps in front of me. “Laura Grace, I want to see your face, NOW!” I jolted. It’s bad enough I feel a tingle every time he says my name, but now it’s like pull I have never felt before. Half Alpha orders, half the mate bond working against me. My wolf is about to explode.

“Sarah, unlock the door.” I say quietly.

“Sarah, I command you as your Alpha to keep that door locked!” Lizzie does her best to use an Alpha tone, it just can’t be beat by Max.

Sarah links me – “just hold off for 2 more minutes.”

I look at her, questioning. And then hear it thru the speakers and the front door camera picks up the door flying open. Lance and Trey come running in and up the stairs, both are only in shorts and look like they just rolled out of bed. “Emergency Protocol 1.”

“Fu@k yeah, it works!” Sarah said with a smile.
