Chapter 11 Declare a New Holiday #2
“Just like so many others that still want to give Mommy Queenie Meanie the benefit of the doubt and believe she’s not the snake she was.
Nathan’s Beta and Gamma blood were fooled.
One could say Porter realized it though.
He definitely kept Karen away from Mommy Queenie Meanie once she and Nathan started traveling.
Their trips to Karen’s home pack were certainly quite long. ”
I paused, watching TeleTed go through the emotions about what I was saying.
Haley was a vault as always. Darn! Fang offered, “We’ll crack through somehow.
It will just take time.” Yes, King Fire Hands had given me information about how our Super Special Fun Sized Fairy Ninja Goddess locked up.
We needed the key to free her to show her emotions.
I wasn’t surprised Lexi just looked mad. She had a lock on her emotions and had to for her Hood work. Still, she was more expressive than my Super Special Fun Sized Fairy Ninja Goddess. I just had more work to do to crack the facade to bring her to her natural state. It would be fun.
Haley surmised, “So, Cassandra’s father realized her goddamn actions were abusive and then he died. Did the family suspect her? Was there someone obsessed with her in their pack that would kill for her? Because I will kick them the fuck out of this house the second they show up if they suspected.”
I replied, “I don’t think so on either question. I was dismissed by the Conners men for that. No one sees Mommy Queenie Meanie as a murderer.” I whispered, “Except me, and some say I’m reaching because I hate her.”
Haley snorted, “I don’t dismiss the possibility.
She’d never do it herself but engineering it is definitely a possibility.
” Lexi agreed, “I don’t dismiss Dylan’s suppositions on this topic for a single second.
” I admitted, “I really can’t prove it.” Fang replied, “I do love that they agree with us, though.” That was nice.
Haley conceded, “It’s probably been too damn long now to find out. I could do a charm with Aiden to see what happened, but if he died in his house then he was alone. The wolves would’ve scented someone else.”
I agreed, “He was alone, they had cameras in their house because the pack was on alert. I suspected poison but none of the tests came back with that.” Haley questioned, “Why was the pack on alert?” I answered, “They were several break-ins.”
Haley snorted, “How fucking convenient. Yeah, that fucking bitch had something to do with it. Wittingly or unwittingly.” Fang chuckled, “I love her. Platonically.” Honestly, so did I. Lexi admitted, “We may never know if Cassandra did it, but damn if it doesn’t feel right.”
Haley said, “To keep her control, she’d do it.
Cassandra wouldn’t consider it malicious because it was ‘for the best.’ That fucking cunt.
Her dad was no longer in her core family.
In her mind if Nathan found out Darrin was depressed because of her that would threaten her position and bond.
Or someone obsessed with her could’ve done it to protect her because she told them that. ”
Lexi groaned, “I hate getting in that woman’s head.” Haley snorted, “I actively refuckingfuse to. She’s an absolute psychopath and I’m fucking glad she’s gone. Excuse me.” Haley left and went to check on the food.
I linked Lacy, “I’ve stirred up such joyous feelings.
” Lacy snorted, “I sense the sarcasm.” I admitted, “I doused a Mommy Queenie Meanie fire. Now, I need to set the mood. Get Emmaline to bring you here. Lucas can enjoy his treat back home where he can’t hear us.
I’m such a good person when he never lets me sleep. It’s all for Dylanmas.”
I winked at the Hood members in the room, “You guys should flash on home for the break and some magical fun times.” TeleTed admitted, “I don’t think this conversation was a great mood setter.
” I assured him, “There is always a method to the madness, TeleTed. A balance to the zen and the za of it all.” Lexi chuckled and they flashed out.
I skipped into the kitchen. Mrs. Blanch smiled at me, and I winked at her. I said, “Precious Super Special Fun Sized Fairy Ninja Goddess, how’s the food?” Haley answered, “It’s fucking perfect.” I grinned, “Goodie. Now, I coordinated with my full blooded Fairy bestie for certain fun things.”
Haley smirked asking, “What did Lucinda do?” I answered, “Well, I couldn’t have SGAP trying to change the tone of my post planning our Christmas Party celebration, so I need him to be busy.
He’s had the day off and he’ll be getting up to trouble if we leave him to his own devices.
I know he will be lamenting about my decorations, and I just can’t have that. ”
Haley and Mrs. Blanch were suddenly in a gust of wind, in their Christmas attire. Haley was in a green velvet crop top with red buttons and a short red skirt with Christmas trees on it. She had red and green stockings, paired with thigh high boots.
I grinned, “Now, go distract SGAP who is playing his wonderful game of football that I’m not playing in this year.
Meanwhile I’ll hunt down where my precious and lovely mate has shown up.
” Haley giggled and flipped her hair. I gasped, "Your hair is red, and green! I LIVE!” Haley laughed and popped out.
I held up my fingers for Mrs. Blanch, “In three, two, one.” I held my hand out and SGAP growled possessively. I said, “Gosh, I just don’t know what I’ll do when he becomes unpredictable. It’s really going to put a crimp in my style. Good thing he’s predictably predictable.”
Mrs. Blanch chuckled, “I’ll just go find my man.” I agreed, “You do that you adorable, gingerbread woman you! I see my full blooded Fairy bestie with her sense of humor. You are a baked treat. It’s amazing, truly. Hats of the Queen of Faerie for that one.” Mrs. Blanch skipped off.
I went outside and SGAP nearly ran me over.
I gasped, “Hey, now. Watch where you are going on this blessed event that I inspired.” SGAP growled, “DYLAN FUCKING FROST!” I teased, “That was so close to the words you were looking for. Say it with me, I’ll even go slow because I know you love that.
‘Thhhhaaannnnkkkkk yyyyyooooouuuuuu, Dyyyylllllaaannnn.’ See? It wasn’t so hard.”
SGAP grumbled, “It’s fucking Thanksgiving, not Christmas!” I replied, “A truly horrible holiday that has only been in the way for years. Honestly, you should’ve seen this coming when I said we’d have a planning session today for my Christmas Party. I’m disappointed in you.”
SGAP growled, “DYLAN!” I sighed, “I’ll get over it. Everyone gets disappointed sometimes, that’s life for you. It cuts me to the quick that it’s you disappointing me. You rarely do so in an actual disappointing way.”
Fang snickered, “Thor is saying they did know.” Well, he hadn’t said it out loud yet. I continued, “I expect you to get all the things in life that you do because you’re you. That’s disappointing but more so at the universe. This.” I made a fake dagger to the heart.
I pouted, “It cut me deep, SGAP. I don’t think you pay one iota of attention to me and the things I dislike.
I’ll have to increase the number of memos I send.
” I paused dramatically then said, “Ah, I see what you’re doing.
You’re doing the work for the people. You want more memos from me on this USELESS, HORRIBLE in the way holiday. ”
SGAP dryly retorted, “Literally no one needs more memos from you.” I nodded, “I hear what you’re not saying. You don’t hear from me enough. I’ll just make a note to send you more entertaining memos because your work life is ever so dull.”
SGAP growled, “DYLAN!” I waved, “No, no, it’s totally understandable, SGAP.
We all have take our mate to work days now, and those are far superior days with fun filled times.
Your precious Super Special Fun Sized Fairy Ninja Goddess even made sure you don’t overwork yourself.
Now, your days are dull and drab until you’re with her again. ”
I fanned my face, “You need more memos from little old me to get through the day. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, I can’t believe I didn’t think of it. Poor SGAP, I made you complain about my super awesome, fun idea about sexy outfits that your sister in law came up with.”
SGAP sighed, “Lucinda did this?” I grinned, “Yes, my full blooded Fairy bestie was all about it. Faerie is even playing too. You’re kind of making me blush, continuing to talk to me while your mate is out there waiting for you to catch her.”
I teased, “You embarrass us so when you act like this with me. Just accept this useless holiday is now in the past. I will use it as a springboard into the Christmas season. It’s a horrid holiday that brought on the cold war in my pack.
I SHALL AVENGE THE COLD WAR THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THIS TRAITOROUS AND CURSED HOLIDAY! ”
SGAP sighed, “Dylan, that was a relationship miscommunication caused by us not having all the damn facts. Which you now have about Fairies.” I replied, “I slept IN A DOGHOUSE!” SGAP snorted, “That you bought! There are such things as a self-fulfilling prophecy!”
I gasped, “I know that you know that I know, I never planned for ANYONE TO SLEEP OUTSIDE IN THEM! Don’t you worry, I have yet again filled our territory with flowers from the precious Mountain Brook flower shop.”
I whispered, “I planned ahead too, so I had ALL the flowers possible placed there. It’s like the precious blue flower threw up IN Blue Moon.” SGAP replied, “You do that every year now. Blue and Lavender roses are in abundance in your pack.”
I grinned saying, “Don’t worry, since we are all here and I was in charge of decorations I didn’t leave this pack out.” SGAP groaned, “Dylan, for fuck’s sake.” I replied, “I shall never slack on my job as Beta again.”
