No Grinches Allowed #4
Davis sighed, “Let me guess, I’m pink. No, it would be green and red because those are Christmas colors.
” I said, “Well, the tattoo is sparkly red and green.” Davis shouted, “TATTOO!” Yeah, this man despised tattoos all the way deep down in his soul.
Dylan got one to piss him off. Kiara purred, “It’s so hot. ” It really was.
I heard Betty scream from her house, so I’d guess she got the tattoo as well. Dad told Davis, “Your forehead says you’re cordially unfuckinginvited, you dickface Grinch.” Kiara snickered all over again. Davis shouted, “How long will that be on my forehead?! I’m going to talk to Dylan about this.”
I snarled, pushed away from my dad, and shifted into Kiara. Davis was not ruining this party for Dylan. Dad sighed, “Really, Davis? You had to piss of an Alpha wolf?” Kiara snapped her jaws at Davis. Dad gently said, “Kiara, nothing will ruin this for Dylan.”
Ramendle chuckled, “Have no fear daughter in law.” My father in law through adoption turned to Dylan’s biological dad.
Ramendle asked, “Davis, do you really think the Princess didn’t factor your attitude into the charm?
You are such an odd man. Do consider talking to Dylan about it again.
Maybe take a step in the direction you think he is. ”
Davis snarled and took a small step. Kiara was ready to pounce until a mini tornado appeared, wrapped him up in it, then spit him out. When it stopped Eric was popped in by Bexley. Haley’s Fairy cousin winked at everyone.
Eric snarled, “What the fuck did you do now, Davis?” Eric glanced at me with a narrowed gaze because I was still in wolf form. Davis explained, “I want Dylan to have this tattoo removed. I know it was his doing.”
Eric emphatically stated, “It wasn’t. Dylan doesn’t have enough Fairy magic to do that, which you know.
My wife did it and the magic apparently calls to Bexley if you try to go against my wife’s wishes.
Which is how Bexley knows when to bring me to you.
So anytime you try to fuck with Dylan, I will show up. ”
Kiara chuckled, “That is amusing. Thor will definitely take Davis down.” I agreed and shifted back into human form. Emmaline snapped me into clothes. I linked, “Thanks.” Emmaline grinned replying, “I’ve always got your back.”
Lucas asked, “Really?” When did my brother get here? Eric answered, “Really. So Davis, the question now becomes do you want to fuck with me or not? Because you will not go near my wife or Dylan. By the way, Travis is included in this charm.”
My head jolted because that meant Eric had talked to Haley about the party. They’d clearly planned this together. Kiara confirmed, “Thor said he approved of his mate’s plan and gave her carte blanche to get Davis.” Holy shit.
Davis snorted, “I still don’t understand why all of a sudden…
” I snarled, “I already told you Dylan hasn’t hosted Dylanmas in years.
Pay attention for five seconds. Maybe we should get you to a doctor for your inability to remember things.
Beta bloods are supposed to be better at that than any other wolf. ”
Eric urged, “Go on about your day, Lacy. I’m sure you have things to do. I’ll handle Davis.” Several people winced because while my father in law wasn’t liked everyone here knew Eric meant that he was about to kick Davis’s ass.
Ramendle chuckled, “I happen to have a break in my day to assist you, Consort Conners.” Eric scoffed, “I do not require assistance.” Ramendle grinned broadly, “Yet I offer it to you. I am an Elder Advisory to the Crown of Faerie after all.” Eric dryly said, “I noticed that years ago.”
We all began to leave, but dad stayed back for some reason.
I heard the punch and Davis’s nose break even though I’d been walking away.
Kiara snorted, “Thor doesn’t take disrespect to his Angel.
Plus, he sees mate as family.” If Dylan ever found out Eric had punched Davis for him, my husband would be in heaven.
Travis linked, “If Dylan finds out the magic Haley used gets Eric in front of Davis to have him punch him then my brother will make sure that happens every hour, on the hour.” I teased, “Dylan would never be so predictable.” Travis laughed.
I added, “It would happen at odd increments during the hour so Betty and Davis would think they were safe. There would be no discernible pattern because Dylan takes pride in being unpredictable with his toys and their functions.” Travis smirked and me.
Jackie was waiting when we got back. Ramendle popped to me and gave me then Travis a hug.
He chuckled, “My boy, you look so good. I’m going to see my grandchildren, but I didn’t want you three to worry.
The Consort and I have handled the issue.
Along with the Princess of course. She is delightfully fun, and I cannot believe anyone ever thought otherwise. ”
Travis warned, “The Fairies are on it, but Davis will find a way to talk to Dylan about this.” Ramendle chuckled, “No, he won’t. Haley has included all kinds of communication in her charm. She’s been planning it with Aiden for a month.” Wow. Eric really did just line up the pieces for this party.
Kiara said, “Thor really does love our mate as family.” Clearly.
He was taking literally no chances. Ramendle continued, “Those people will not ruin Dylan’s fun.
Farrin said he looked quite jolly and my Saseditle heard about this party Dylan used to throw.
You can bet his momma isn’t going to let anyone steal this from our adopted son. ”
Saseditle was his mate, and she’d also adopted Dylan and Travis. I hugged him again saying, “You guys are the best.” Travis agreed, “Thanks Dad.” Ramendle stood taller because he loved hearing Travis and Dylan call him that.
Ramendle assured him, “I’ll always protect you, son.
Now, I’m off to find my grandchildren and give them gifts.
” Travis snorted, “I cannot believe Dylan got you in on his whole giving Christmas presents in July deal.” I shot him a look.
Travis admitted, “Ok, I heard that when I said it out loud and I can in fact believe it because it’s Dylan. ”
Ramendle chuckled, “Fairies hardly need reasons to give presents, but it’s a lovely tradition to spark some joy into a month that could use some cheer.” Ramendle took off. Lucas said, “Dylan’s using my credit card to plan Dylanmas.”
Travis asked, “Why the hell are you smiling then?” Lucas admitted, “Maybe I missed the party too. It was always his thing, and my beta went bigger and better every year. He planned practically from the moment the party ended. I used to hear about the Dylanmas all the time. It was fun and I’ll bet when he comes home, my best friend will even look younger. ”
He would because Dylan always had this pup like joy to him when Christmas was involved. Kiara purred, “Mate will look so hot.” Yeah, I was definitely going to jump him, and I could hardly be blamed. My man was incredibly attractive.
Travis asked, “Did everyone read the part about having to shop at Kris’s shop alone?” I gasped, “What?” I looked at the back of the invitation and nearly laughed. Lucas groaned, “Great. Dylan’s already started to get Eric because this about him not going with Haley.”
Travis laughed, “Yeah, well that tidbit should’ve been seen from a mile away. Alpha bloods though. Clearly, someone told Haley about the party since she was plotting to keep Davis away.” Travis was wrong though because Eric did see it all coming and was welcoming it.
Eric started this entire thing in motion. I wondered why Eric didn’t want more people to know what a deeply caring man he was. Kiara offered, “If his mother was ours, I would hide it too. She’s so mean all the time, and her wolf is always sleeping.”
Travis did know that Eric was caring and the slight smirk on his face told me he knew Eric planned it all somehow.
Kiara continued, “Not that I blame Kenna for sleeping. I’d want to escape that woman too.
Kena is far more tolerable than her human.
” Yeah, I didn’t care for Cassandra, but I didn’t really have to interact with her.
Mom’s phone rang and she answered, “Hi, Cassandra.” Mom linked, “I’m praying to Selene she didn’t get a tattoo on her forehead.
I just got this phone and the speaker will break.
” I nearly laughed. Cassandra boasted, “I’m speaking at a public function on Christmas Eve.
It’s a very prestigious event. I’ll have to arrange to be popped there and back for Christmas. ”
I covered my mouth as my mom walked away. The second she was out of earshot our group started laughing. I asked, “How did they pull that off on such short notice?” Emmaline declared, “Haley is that gosh darn good.”
Travis linked, “Except Haley had a heads up, clearly.” I replied, “I’m sure she caught onto our plans.” Travis snorted, “Sure, it was us.” I grinned at him. Out loud, Travis said, “There is literally no way Cassandra was going to be invited to Dylanmas.”
Emmaline asked, “Because she’s the Grinch?” Travis answered, “Yes. Have you not heard Dylan call her Mommy Queenie Meanie, the Grinch who stole Black Mountain’s cheer?” Emmaline admitted, “I have not, but that really does seem to fit.”
Lucas told us, “Dylan is running home.” I grinned asking, “Did he link you? Does he sound happy?” Lucas snorted, “Eric linked me and no, he did not sound happy.” Eric really could’ve been an actor, because I knew for a fact he was happy.
Kiara said, “The part about going to the shop alone could actually annoy Thor.” Maybe, but Eric would always be Eric. The man always expected the unexpected. It was pretty damn hard to get anything by him. So, he’d be prepared for things to be different at the party.
I spotted Fang running with a certain pep in his gate. Kiara purred, “Mate is so handsome.” He was. Dylan shifted back and my eyes narrowed on part of him. Kiara demanded, “Get on that, Lacy.” I told her, “I will.” Emmaline snapped him pants.
