SWNOVELS Chapter Eighty - Four: New Direction
Eighty-Four: New Direction
Chris
This last week has been stressful. Since we found Penthesilea and Phlegyas dead and it seemed as if the werebears had magically disappeared from existence, it has been very frustrating. We all thought we were so close to finishing this shit; then we were thrown a huge curveball. Someone basically threw up their middle finger, giving us a huge FUCK YOU. I knew that Uncle Zeus was right when he said it was probably an angel or demon behind all this. I am sitting here in the rain trying to replay the last 2500 years to figure out who it could be. Most if not all of the angels and demons are scared of my sisters. So none of this makes any sense in my mind. Besides, why would either one of those beings want to start a war with the gods by doing something like creating my sisters and me? I was still shocked when it came to revealing all of Mykayla’'s powers and what she is. Fucking Dominick adding a Phoenix to the mix. Where the hell did he even find one? I had talked to Dimitri, but he was as surprised by it as everyone else. As far as he knew, Dominick didn't even know a Phoenix.
"You want to talk about it?” I heard a voice ask.
I jumped so high I landed in the pool. I came to the surface to see who the fuck scared the shit out of me. I looked and saw Aunt Persephone. I was going to yell, but I decided against it. She has no problem yelling back or smacking me on the back of my head. I learned my lesson years ago not to piss her off. I explained everything to her that had happened in the last three weeks. She sat there and listened nodding her head every so often.
“I gave Dominick the Phoenix blood and DNA. I knew three of them and told them what was happening. They willingly gave it to me. I figured it never got added since it has never popped up. As for who is behind this I had no idea but I am going to help find out. Being the queen of the underworld has its perks.” She explained.
Well, that was one mystery solved. Now to figure out who these other assholes are and finish this shit. Aunt Persephone gives me a hug and then pulls out two large bags. Oh fuck yeah, I know what is in those. She baked again.
"OK, WHO HAS THE CHOCOLATE A RASPBERRY DESSERT?” I hear Mykenzie yell.
"WHOEVER IT IS BETTER FUCKING SHARE!" Kylani yells.
I shake my head and laugh. Figures that my sisters would smell that. I hear a chuckle from beside me and turn to see Aunt Persephone smile. I stand up, grab the two bags and walk towards the house. I had better share this with everyone before my sisters tear the house up looking for it.
Kaleb
I sat at my desk smiling as I watched Kylani eat her dessert. It surprised all of us when Chris came in carrying the two bags full of multiple different desserts. I have to say his aunt can bake, and the dessert is very appreciated. I am just glad she is happy. She is starting to get more of a bump where the twins are growing in her. She looks absolutely gorgeous. She always looks gorgeous but seeing her pregnant with my pups makes her even more gorgeous. I thought they had both lost it earlier when they started yelling about chocolate desserts. They seriously started looking for them. That's when Chris walked in with the bags, and they started squealing. I was trying to research angels and demons, but nothing helpful was coming up. After last week's shocking findings, we were all trying to figure out who the hell was really behind this. I was so engrossed in what I was doing that I didn’t notice my gorgeous goddess till she sat down in my lap.
“Hey, what's got you so far away from me?” She asked.
I didn’t know what to say. We haven't told them that Penthesilea and Phlegyas were found dead and who might be behind this plot.
“Just stop ok. We know about Penthesilea and Phlegyas.” She tells me.
“How?” I asked, shocked.
“Oh, please, as soon as Phantom and the rest found them they came straight back to us. Yes, they went to you guys after we told them to go find Chris. Besides, we knew that neither of those morons were smart enough to pull off creating us. We knew Penthesilea and Phlegyas back then and they are not the smartest of the bunch. We knew someone else was the brains behind it. We still don’t know who. That's why we ended up here. We actually followed the werebears here. We know they are here in town or the area somewhere.” She explains.
Figures they would be ten steps ahead of us. I am still surprised that they already knew most of this. Those damn animals were supposed to come to us first, not the girls. I don't need her to be stressed out. She has had a much easier time this pregnancy but she still gets pains every now and then when the twins have a growth spurt. Thank god for Imyra.
“Oh yeah, you need to get dressed up tomorrow night. We are going out for a date.” I tell her.
“Really?” She asked.
“Yes, really,” I tell her laughing.
She is super excited and bouncing in my lap. Which now has caused a new problem. I grab her hips and keep her still. She looks over her shoulder and smirks at me. I think she had this planned. Well except for me telling her about the date. I give her a low growl and she gets up and starts walking away from me swinging her sexy hips. I jump up and follow her as she literally drops the dress she was wearing. All she has on underneath is a tiny pair of thong underwear. Oh, she so had this planned. That naughty goddess of mine. Time to show her what her sexy beast has in store for her.
Draydon
I have finally decided to talk to Rye about the fact that his younger sister is my mate. I am more sure of it now than ever. She and her cousin have been coming here more and more along with Vincent and Gianya. They have all become close to the kids that live here. It's been almost two months now since they showed up at our meeting, and things have been good within the pack. I walk towards the packhouse and around to the back by the pool. I see Rye sitting there playing on his phone. I take a seat across from him.
“Hey,” I say.
“What's up?” He asks.
“Your sister is my mate,” I tell him.
No need to beat around the bush. I have gotten to know all these guys, and they are all good guys, so I don't want any issues to mess that up.
“I know. She kinda already told me that you are her mate.” He replies.
Well, that is not the way I saw this conversation going. I am surprised she realized it.
“Listen I know she is young, and I will wait until she is of age....” I begin.
Rye lets out a laugh and I stop mid-sentence. I can't believe he is laughing.
“Dude, she is of age. I guess in human years, she is the equivalent to age 17 or 18, but in fae years she is an adult. Fae are considered an adult at age 1000 and Satyira is 1300 years old. So no worries about age. Just treat her right and don't hurt her. I don't need to tell you that besides me hurting you, Uncle Dimitri will have your ass and Mykayla and Kylani. They are protective over her as well.” He explains.
Ok, so now I don't feel like a complete perve. I somewhat laugh at the threat. I am not scared of him, but the other three, yes. Especially the last two. I might be a dragon, but let's face it, no one wants to piss off Mykenzie and Kylani. The two of us stand up and walk towards the back door. We walk into the kitchen to find Chris in there with Jordyn. Oh yeah, Kylani and Kaleb had their date last night. Kaleb was going to propose to her. I am guessing since it's almost noon, and they have not appeared that everything went well. I know for a fact that she said yes. Kylani is so in love with Kaleb. As Dustin says, they are a ridiculous couple. I have to agree. I walk over to Chris, and Jordyn reaches for me. She touches my face and I flick my tongue out to tickle her hand. I feel something hit my leg. I look down and Dominick is standing there hitting me and telling me no touch. I let out a laugh.
“Oh god, I am sorry about him,” Mykayla says.
“No worries, are they mates?” I ask.
“We are almost sure they are. He was attached to Kylani when she was pregnant with Jordyn and has pretty much never left her since she was born.” Kaleb announces.
Ahh, here is the man of the hour. We all wait for him to tell us what happened. He walks over and takes Jordyn from Chris. Dominick lets out a cry and sets her down, and she walks over and pats his cheek. It's actually a cute scene to watch. I have never heard of mates finding each other this young, but anything is possible when it comes to those two girls.
“Well?” Chris asks.
That's when we hear several loud screams. Guess that answers the question.
“Congratulations man, I am happy for the both of you,” I tell him with a pat on his back.
Dustin walks in with his ears covered. He must have walked by when the screaming started. Mykenzie can hit a ridiculously high pitch, as can Leah. I decide to find Satyira and have a talk with her.
