SWNOVELS Chapter One - Hundred Twenty- Five: Stuck Inside
One-Hundred Twenty-Five: Stuck Inside
Natalya
All of us ladies had big plans for today. That was until mother nature decided it would be better if it rained. There was a loud clap of thunder, and a large flash of lightning flew across the sky. It was actually really pretty to watch. When the storm hit early this morning, it was assumed that Mykenzie and Kylani were in a bad mood. However, it turns out they are not responsible for this storm. I am watching the weather station, and they say this could go on for the next two to three days. I don't care. I like it when it rains. Besides, we live in the pacific northwest, and we all should be used to the rain by now. I am reading a book out on the enclosed back porch when I feel the small couch move. I already know who it is. I can smell his apple and spice sent.
“Whatcha reading?” Brighton asks.
“I found a book on mythology. It's funny to read about all of the gods.” I tell him.
I have been reading it for a few hours now, and I have actually laughed out loud at some parts. Reading about some of the gods and how they acted is hilarious. If they only knew and saw what I have seen they would have to rethink their beliefs in the gods. What got to me is that I have never heard of or seen the triplets in any books. Even when we learned about this in school, they were never mentioned. I asked Athena about this when she came for a visit about a week or so ago.
FLASHBACK
I had been sitting out by the pool when Athena walked up. I did a double-take because I was not used to seeing her. She doesn't visit that often. She is one of my favourites. I laughed so hard the first time that she came down to meet Ashton after he and Jailynn found each other. I have never seen him so nervous. I watch her take a seat in one of the chairs by me under the umbrella.
“Looks like that book is interesting.” Athena comments.
“Yeah I have all of the sudden taken a lot of interest in mythology,” I tell her.
“1 am confused though. In all the books that I have read and when we were taught in school none ever mention the triplets.” I say to her.
“That's because we purposely kept them out of any oral or written stories. Remember they aren't supposed to exist.” She replies.
I let that run through my head, and then I realized that it was true. They purposely kept the triplets hidden from people.
FLASHBACK END__
It is still hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that I know real gods and goddesses. When I first met the three at the gym, I could tell they differed from everyone else. I automatically tried to scent what they were. I knew they weren't human, but they had no scent. That confused the hell out of me. I couldn't figure out how or why they didn't have a scent. It was Chris that talked to me first. He was so friendly and outgoing that it was hard not to like him. Then when he introduced me to his sisters, I wasn't so sure about them. They were much more reserved. That was until I got to know them. When Chris explained to me what they were after I had seen Kylani's start glowing. I have to admit when he first explained to me what they really were, I thought he was crazy. That thought disappeared when they showed me what they could do. When all this shit started, I knew they could help our pack. I had no idea that Kylani would be Kaleb’s mate. Hell, I hadn't even known he had found her. He never said anything, but until I brought them around, all he ever picked up was her scent. These last three years have been crazy, but I wouldn't change anything. I feel my book removed from my hands.
“Come on let's go inside,” Brighton says.
I nod, and we walk back into the packhouse. I wonder what chaos is happening in there now.
Ashton
Damn, this house smells good. Persephone is here, and she has taken over the kitchen. She is in there baking all sorts of desserts. I already have a plate of cookies in my lap, and damn they are otherworldly. That woman can back like no other. While I am not a fan of the rain, I do like the fact that we can just lay back and relax. Dustin, Kaleb, and Nate are all at the office. Mykayla goes back to work next week. I know she is ready to get out of this house finally. Luckily she has been able to work from home, but I know she is getting sick of being here all the time. I go to grab another cookie, and the plate is gone. I looked around, and Jailynn stole my plate.
“Hey my cookies,” I whine.
“You need to eat real food not just sweets.” She tells me.
“But I want cookies,” I reply.
She rolls her eyes at me and refuses to give me the cookies back until I have eaten real food. I just sit there and pout, but it doesn’t work. I get up and walk to the door of the kitchen. I have learned not to go in when one of the women is in their cooking. Things tend to get thrown at you if you walk into the kitchen and disturb them while they are cooking. I stand there for a second until Persephone looks at me. I tell her what Jailynn said, and she turns around. She turns back towards me, and she has a plate of ravioli. I take the plate from her and return to where I am sitting. Nymyra walks in, and I smile at her. Just walking over here, she doesn't appear very wet. It's raining hard outside right now. Peter, Seth, Marcus, Chris, and Zane have joined me.
“You're not very wet for just walking over here.” Seth comments.
“That means my brother isn't doing his job appropriately.” Kylani nonchalantly says as she walks through the room.
I choke on my ravioli when she says this. I hear Marcus start coughing. He had just taken a drink of water. The other three sit there speechless. Nymyra is doubled over laughing.
“Oh, I can do my job just fine. Why do you think she doesn’t wear panties anymore.” Chris retorts.
Poor Nymyra turns a very dark shade of red and hurries out of the room. This carries on for a while between these three. At least they aren't arguing. I have a feeling that Nymyra is going to give Chris a lot of shit for this later. She is a tough girl, but she is easy to make blush. I just shake my head. Our little group is ridiculous.
Zane
I was not expecting that conversation to happen when I sat down. I knew that Mykenzie and Kylani had no filters when it came to saying what was ever on their minds. I had never heard either of them make comments like that before. It was funny as hell. Poor Nymyra turned so red. Thankfully I wasn't eating or drinking anything like Ashton or Marcus. As I sit here, it is hard for me to believe that it has been almost a year since we joined this pack. I thought they would Kill the three of us or turn us into rogues when they got us. I guess I have Penthesilea and Phlegyas to thank for basically brainwashing us with their lies and placing those mental blocks. That made them realize that while we were partially to blame for all the shit that went down, the fault wasn't all ours. I have to say that this last year has been interesting. If you had told me a year ago that I would be part of this pack and that I would have befriended werecats, dragons, immortals, gods, and goddesses, I would have told you that you are fucking crazy. Although, at times, it feels like I have stepped into a different dimension. The six of us are sitting here talking when Onyx comes into the room carrying something. He hands Seth a letter, then continues walking through the room and off somewhere. Seth just looks at the letter. It has no return address. He opens the letter, and his face slowly gets redder and redder. Chris, who is sitting by him, takes the letter to read. He rolls his eyes.
“I'm gonna kill your sisters.” Seth grounds out.
I look at Chris, who starts laughing. What the hell?
“THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT. WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU TWO AT?” Seth yells.
“WE TOLD YOU THAT THE ANGELS LIKED YOU,” Mykenzie yells back, laughing.
We all read the letter. I guess Seth was a hit up there. The angels want him to come back and visit. I can't help but laugh. He sits there grumbling to himself. Never a dull moment in this pack.
