SWNOVELS Chapter Eighty: Self Reflection
Eighty: Self Reflection
Mykayla
These last two years have been very enlightening, to say the least. First, I find out that I have fae blood in me. That was a surprise, but ok, that explained a lot of the differences between me and some of my friends. I am the mate of a werewolf. Again, I'm not expecting that, but hey, my man is fucking sexy and ridiculously sweet. I guess I can’t argue that much. The biggest surprise was that I had not only fae blood but that my father, who I thought was dead, was alive. Not only is he alive, but he is Poseidon, the god of the ocean. Now that I thought about it, that would explain why growing up that he travelled for his job so much. I am glad that he is alive, and over the two months, we have gotten to know each other. I was mad at first, but I understand why he pretended to die in the house fire. Bree has become very close to dad, which I am glad. We have also been able to meet many of our aunts and uncles. I did find out that both Bree and I will, at some point, have to start attending the family meetings. This made Mykenzie and Kylani happy. They thought that now since we have to attend, they don't. Apparently, that is not how it works, and they threw a huge fit and whined about still having to attend. Chris says that they hate to go to family meetings. I am sitting out back by the pool. I still have my doubts that all my secrets have come to light. I feel that I am much more powerful than Bree. She and I were practicing and I was able to do a few things that she was not able to, and I couldn't figure out how I did them. I give my stomach a rub as I receive a rather strong kick. This little one is just as strong as his brother. I decide I need to talk to Chris about my suspicions.
The next day I find Chris sitting at the table eating breakfast. He has Jordyn and Xaydyn. I give him a look, and I am just about to say something when I hear a loud scream. The two of us turn to see Dustin walking toward us, and Dominick throws a tantrum and squirms to be let down. I smile because I know why he is acting this way.
“What the hell is wrong with your son?” Dustin asks.
“He wants his mate. He is just acting like the rest of you overprotective men.” I tell him.
I hear Chris let out a snort, and Dustin lets out a growl and rolls his eyes. The three of us watch as Dominick walks over and sits down by Jordyn. The three kids start playing. They are so cute.
“Has anyone seen my beautiful daughter?” Kaleb asks.
Dustin just tilts his head, and Kaleb looks over and sees the three of them. I think he has finally gotten used to his daughter and my son's mates. I wait till Dustin and Kaleb leave to go deal with pack business before I start talking with Chris.
I tell him what I've noticed and how I feel. I tell him I don’t understand, but I want to find out. He says that he will talk to his mother, Mykenzie, and Kylani. He says he has a suspicion but that his sisters are the only two that can confirm it. I ask how they will do that. He says he is not sure it depends on what they suspect. I am not sure I like how that sounds. I really just want to figure out all this. I don’t want any more surprises. I would rather know what I am capable of and practice so I can get control of them than keep getting into dangerous situations and a new power pop up, especially with the new additions to the pack getting ready to join. Chris and I are sitting there talking when the nannies come and get the kids to take to the nursery. I am sure Bryns twins are there already. They are growing so fast. All the kids are. We hear a loud commotion outside and get up to see what is going on. I walk out, followed by Chris, to find Tye standing there with Einyn. He is standing in front of her, and Dustin and Kaleb are standing beside him.
“What is going on?” Dustin asks.
“This guy grabbed Einyn and was touching her inappropriately.” Brandon states.
He is standing in front of Einyn in a very protective stance. There are three guys standing there, and they are relatively new to the pack. They have caused trouble before and are known for being disrespectful the women. Dustin takes a step forward, and they don’t back down. Kaleb steps forward to back Dustin up, and one gets in his face. I hear Chris let out a sigh. I hear him mumble don’t be stupid. I am not sure who throws the first swing, but Tye is on the ground, and I see Kaleb wiping his lip and blood. I start to walk towards them when Chris grabs me just as a very loud growl is heard. I watch as all three guys are laid on the ground, and the one that hit Kaleb is now on his knees with Kylani standing in front of him. She has her hand across his face, and her nails are out and digging into his face. You can hear the pained cries. Her other hand goes to his throat and grabs it. Marcus and Jason come running to see what is going on.
“STOP, Ashton, and Brighton throw these three assholes in the dungeon,” Dustin yells in his alpha tone.
Kylani still has the one guy, and she continues to dig her nails in deeper. Her growling has not quieted down either. She is pissed, and I can't blame her. I would have done the same thing if that had been Dustin. I can see neither of the guys wants to talk to Kylani. Dustin looks at Kaleb, and he walks up behind her as Chris walks up and uses some silver zip ties to control the guy's hands.
“You can let go gorgeous. Chris has him under control.” Kaleb says.
She lets go of him, and Chris takes the bastard away. Chris comes to me later that night and tells me that Mykenzie and Kylani are more than happy to help me figure out the extent of my powers. I am happy that they agreed. I am excited to see what I am capable of.
Marcus
Today is the big day when they all start moving back on to the new land. Well, it's not new land, but it is a new land for the pack. I can tell it's bittersweet for Mykenzie and Kylani. With all the history on this land. I can tell they are happy but sad at the same time. I am sitting in our living room of mine and Jason's place. We each have the floor to ourselves and for our future families. All the rooms have been soundproofed. I had never been friends with wolves before, but this pack and these guys have definitely become like family. We are still trying to secure a location for Penthesilea, Phlegyas, and the three werebears.
Once it was known that they were involved, they left our previous clan, and no one has seen them since. I know they figured out that we were onto them, and they all went into hiding. We have several trackers out looking for them, but so far, we have had no luck. Jace and Zak are here because they are good with the tech stuff and are very willing learners. I am scanning several possible locations. We have been sitting here staring at the screens for most of the day when Jace shakes his head and laughs. Apparently, he has lost his mind from looking at these computer screens for so long.
“What the hell are you laughing at?” Jason asks.
“I am laughing at all of us.” He answers.
“We, and when I mean we I mean us men, are just clueless as the girls claim.” He replies.
“What the fuck are you going on about?” I ask.
“Just have Dustin call a meeting and I'll explain.” He says.
I send a text to Dustin, letting him know what's up. He asks why and I tell him that Jace has an idea. He says ok, and texts and mind linked everyone. We are to meet in half an hour. The four of us begin walking to the packhouse. We get there, and I don’t hear any arguing for the first time. I am slightly worried about this. We walk down to the rec room. Everyone is there already.
“OK, so what is this bright idea?” I ask.
“How do the girls always find what or who they are looking for without using their powers?” He asks.
“They use those ginormous beasts of theirs.” Ashton blurts out.
“Exactly,” Jace stated.
Of course, he is right; we are stupid. Now that I look around, none of those beasts is present. That is also weird.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO WITH MY TACO'’S YOU BOTTOMLESS PIT?" Kylani yells.
“Shit,” Tarlek says.
“You said those were yours.” Jason seeth.
I wondered where those two got those tacos. Well, they're dead. Eating a pregnant woman's food surely is suicide. Especially if the pregnant woman is one of the most powerful beings ever. I just start laughing. I look over, and she is standing there in the door, and she is pissed. She has a slight red glow to her. Jason and Tarlek are trying to hide behind Draydon and Xion, which is not working.
“Don’t drag us into your funeral.” Xion comments.
"OH, YOU TWO BASTARDS ARE DEAD,” Kylani yells.
The two of them take off running as I fall over laughing. I am not the only one who is laughing. Kylani starts to take off after them as Kaleb grabs her and tells her he will get more taco’s for her but that all this excitement is not good for the babies. If it were anyone else, I am sure they would be dead.
“WHERE ARE THE TACO'S?" Mykenzie yells.
"JASON AND TARLEK ATE THEM,” Kylani yells at her.
“THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS. WHERE ARE THE TWO OF YOU LITTLE SHITS?" Mykenzie screams.
Tye just shakes his head and laughs. I love my brother, but obviously, he didn’t get the common sense in the family. I hear Mykenzie walking down this way. Good cause we need to ask if we can borrow their immortal beasts to find those five assholes. All of a sudden I hear Tarlek scream. I can hear Jason growling. What the fuck. I see Mykenzie and Kylani smirk in triumph. Phantom and Jade walk in and dump my brother and Tarlek on the floor. They sent them after those two. This has been some of the funniest shit I have seen in a while. Those two give the girls dirty looks, but they could care less.
“Anyway, we are wondering if we can borrow your great beasts to track down those five assholes. We are getting nowhere with any other option.” I ask.
“Anytime, they are starting to get bored just laying around the packhouse. I had to drag Phantom out of the pool the other day.” Kylani says.
“Is that why the water level was so low, and the filter was ridiculously clogged?” Dustin asks.
“Probably.” She answers.
I have to laugh cause she says it so nonchalantly. I can see Dustin is irritated by this information. I don't blame him. I had to help clean up that nasty mess and refill the pool. They walk out of the room after they have their revenge on Jason and Tarlek. I know Kaleb ordered them some taco’s so they were happy. Chris says that we will send the animals out tomorrow. He says that we will have to tell them what the plan is outside since all five of them are too big to have in the same room at the same time. I have to agree; just the three cats alone take up half of the rec room. Hopefully, we can find those assholes and finish this before Kylani and Mykayla have the babies. I have a strong feeling that those babies are very well protected by those women. I am surprised none of the other women has come up pregnant yet. I secretly hope Leah is pregnant. I think a mini-me or a mini-her would be perfect. I look at the two ridiculously enormous beasts lying on the floor, and I have all the confidence that with their help, we will find those assholes.
