Ella squeezes Branson’s hand
“We all did, she’s just feeling the overwhelming sense of power that she holds so she’s feeling their emotions. She needs a wolf to unload them”
“I've never needed a wolf before?”
I ask them all confused
“Yeah you didn’t, you were born with all that power but now you have mine, carters, Ella’s and Aaron’s. You can handle the power with ease but all the rest of it will take some getting used to, the emotions alone will cripple you, especially with a pack of this size”
Mum tells me, I screw up my nose
“But I don’t like wolf hair”
Karma quivers at the thought of it everywhere we go, it grosses me out, and all things that can’t talk freak me out. Like the stables were my worst nightmare as a kid, I hated the zoo and anything with hair.
“You can keep it outside”
Mum tells me smirking, but even having animals around me freaks me out.
Branson pulls me against his chest, rubbing my back
“Don’t worry, we will find you the perfect wolf”
He sounds amused
“You think it’s funny but I don’t, hair makes me sick, and all the germs gross me out. There has got to be another way please?”
“What about a doll, give a doll the power”
Karma suggests, mum and dad start to laugh
“Ehh hell no, it would be like Annabelle, it would probably haunt us”
Dad tells me, I shrug
“I know for a fact I could use that to my benefit”
Branson chuckles shaking his head
“Hell no, you will make it haunt me when I piss you off”
“Well don’t piss me off and we can use it to t*****e people together, can you imagine how scared Martha Stewart would get”
“I heard that you b***h, if you haunt me I’ll get the real damn thing and haunt you back myself”
The table erupts in laughter and the evening finally starts to lighten up as everyone jokes back and forth.
After dinner the music starts, the tables are turned around and bottles and bottles of hard liquor fill the tables.
After around an hour of drinking and laughing with the family I was feeling a little tipsy, and so was everyone else too.
“I suggest since it was a surprise wedding that the girls get a hen do?”
Nana Lilly shouts, every man at the tables freezes, and all of them glare at grandpa drake
“I thought you were told to control her”
Jaxon snaps, drake snorts rolling his eyes
“Oh please do you not think I tried! Please be my guest, she will put you in your place so fast you’ll s**t your panties and you will wish you wore a nappy!”
“Well mine is good so she can go”
Dad says kissing mums cheek, every male groans rolling there eyes as Ella gets up and grabs mums arm so they could go and dance with Lilly
“Where are you going, you're just as crazy”
Aaron snaps yanking Ella back, she growls flicking his nose
“I will not have s*x with you for a month if you don’t let go right now”
Branson groans in disgust as Aaron immediately let's go
“Wait for me”
I call jumping up
“Hell no she’s bad”
Dad snaps as Branson holds onto my waist
“Yeah don’t let her go she will only make them crazier”
I gasp offended at Aaron’s words, Lucy rolls her eyes
“I think it’s hilarious that you think you can hold her back”
“Yeah, you married us without my permission, I told you I’d only marry you if you let me have a hen do, so now you gotta pay up”
“Will we be even if I do?”
I purge my lips studying him
“We could just put pins in his a*s and make him let us”
Karma suggests, giving me a fabulous idea. I grin
“Fine we are even, but ladies who else wants to party”
They all stick up their hands, each man arguing with them. I know my family were a handful and they were right about something I was the worst of the lot but f**k it.
“Men you have 0.2 seconds to let the woman up or you all get needle a*s”
“Do it, don’t be stupid just do it and I’ll add extra guards so they don’t kill anyone”
Branson shouts, dad starts to laugh but he also nodded. The men immediately let go of the girls, I squeak and down half a jar of poitín before taking off towards the dance floor for our victory lap.
I hadn’t changed that much but f**k it, when in Rome.
————————-
Branson’s POV
I nervously order the guards to surround the area, the Mcgregor moon woman had a mind of their own and when drink was involved they became savage creatures who many feared.
Mostly us men, it’s not that they couldn’t hold their drink, they were like fish in the water but they just didn’t want to.
“I don’t agree with much of what you do but I appreciate you changing your name and getting married”
Carter tells me, pulling out a new bottle of my whiskey and pouring us both a glass
“I knew she would drink yours so I got extra”
He adds, I smile lifting the glass and taking a sniff of the expensive amber liquid
“Thank you, can I ask—“
I go to say but then I stop myself from shaking my head
“You know what it doesn’t matter”
I finish, Carter smirks at me
“I've been a d**k, I know it. It has been an adjustment all around”
I wasn’t convinced that that was the truth but I decide to drop it clinking his glass just as Desmond, Gavin and Josiah join us.
I smirk as the boys pour Josiah a glass of apple juice into a whiskey glass, he takes it sniffing the juice and taking a sip like it was aged and old.
The boys adored him, they smile as he sits up like a big boy pretending to drink like us too.
“What is nana Lilly doing?”
He asks us, all our heads snap up to look at her, I snort when I realise she’s trying to twerk.
“Is that what dancing is meant to be like? I don’t think I like dancing so much”
He adds looking at us seriously, I shake my head as Gavin talks
“That is not dancing, we will teach you how to dance with your mate properly another time”
“Ok cool, Ohh he doesn’t look like he’s having a very fun time”
Josiah says looking past my shoulder, I hear Finn growl from behind me making me turn to look.
I groan when I see the Luna who kati had made alpha being yanked across the room by her arm by her beta
“What a d**k, go grab them, Finn”
He nods to the floor looking to axel
“Eyes on her at all times”
He snaps talking about kati, I can’t help but smile at Carter
“I've got to say they might be annoying but you choose well, they are very protective of her, and I like it”
“They are the best of the best”
Carter says with a wink just as a commotion starts behind me, I turn to see Finn drag the beta across the floor towards us, his gama and a few of his guards come after him, they looked ready to kill him
“I command you to drop him! You're a mere guard, you have no right to touch him”
I snort
“He’s a royal guard, he and all those chosen to watch over the Luna and queen are officially a higher rank than you are. If they say jump you say how damn high”
I tell the gamma, he growls
“That’s outrageous!”
“It’s not, they have the protection of all parties, their aura will always be larger than a normal alpha never mind a gamma. They have and always will have more authority than you all”
His face falls, and the beta looks white as he glares at the Luna who stood behind them nervously
“This is all your fault! The alpha is dead and you expect us to listen to a woman! Nobody will accept you!”
The beta growls, a growl ripples through the air from behind me, and the noise sends a chill down my spine as little Josiah jumps off the chair and comes to my side.
The temperature around us drops below freezing, and each member of their pack automatically drops to their knees and bends the neck to us all.
“How dare you! She is more than capable of running the pack! Look! She can withstand my aura yet you babies can’t. Luna, I suggest YOU kill them all and take on only ladies as your ranked members. Show them what you have got so the rest learn to respect you”
I smirk back at Desmond and Gavin who are both grinning at Josiah, I look to Carter who suddenly steps forwards
“I agree, I’ll even make them stronger”
He tells her, her eyes nearly goggle out of her head then she closes her eyes to link someone
“They are on the way”
“What? Your serious?”
The gamma asks panicking
“Yes, they are and I support it”
I tell him, zeroing my eyes in on him. 2 women come running towards the crowd, immediately going to the lunas side.
“Are you ok? What’s wrong?”
“They want me to kill them and make you both gamma and beta”
She whispers, their eyebrows shooting up in surprise watching us, clearly checking if we could be trusted. They looked like confident women, it surprised me since they came from such a backwards pack. Deciding we were a safe bet they look back at her
