Chapter 15 Drunk Melanie #3
I said, “Uhh I’ve read, watched a lot of tv and movies, and I’ve seen them. T had one when I was little. No one needs that in their life. I also have a crazy person who claimed I was their mate. So, while we didn’t date… he’s a crazy ex mate claimer… that seems like it’s on the same level.”
Emmett snorted, “Naturally, what was I thinking?” I said, “I really don’t know… but it’s not like you were around to hear how much the smelly wet dog claimed it was true. You’d have killed him… for sure.” Emma laughed.
Sierra groaned, “Mel.” I asked, “What? He would’ve. Finn might’ve for his scent alone.” Emmett agreed, “I definitely would’ve.” Finn chimed in, “You’ve nailed my essence. I would kill him for being a bad person and smelling terrible.”
I nodded, “I know… there’s no way an Alpha like you could stand for any of the things he did…
he’d have been killed before my sixteenth birthday…
but definitely then… if he’d made it to eighteen…
I mean yeesh… then too. A Beta… with morals would’ve also killed him…
at well.. pick any point since I met him. ”
Dylan ordered, “No sad topics!” Emmett changed the subject by asking, “Why did you develop a serum for the Hood?” I answered, “Xander has Hood allies, and Haley is good friends with your mom. I wanted to help. Plus, I like experiments. It was a win for everyone.”
I whispered, “Plus secret reasons.” Emmett asked, “Like what?” Sierra jumped in, “It’s a secret.” Freya chuckled, “Our honorary member.” Exactly! Emma said, “That's adorable. You do so many cute things for Alexander.”
I blushed. Keith said, “Well, this has been interesting.” I winked, “Don’t worry… I’ll totally avenge your twin… and since we are claiming killing her is off the table… I’ll break her nose.” Emmett groaned, “Come on.”
I asked, “Did you want me to break her back? That’s usually what I do.” Keith snickered while Frank Daniels slapped his leg, he laughed so hard. Emmett pursed his lips, “No, don’t break her back.” I told Sierra, “He’s saying no but his eyes say yes please do.” Sierra shook her head at me.
Before I could comment I heard Dylan talking to Kingsley and my attention went to them, cutting off my conversation with the Daniels. I squealed, “K came!” Emmett rubbed his ear, “Wow. That was a decibel.”
Freya chuckled, “The funny wolf loves your teasing him about being wrong about Kayda.” Dylan tried to get me to tell him but not even drunk me would give that up. I walked over to their group and started to answer his other questions. They were funny.
We talked about Lux. Freya told me, “Kayda is trying to warn you about this topic.” I knew that, but I wasn’t sure what the warning was for. Dylan was lamenting the Conners men lack of fun. Obviously, he didn’t know about all the pranks they pulled.
Max and Theo pulled sneaky ones all the time.
My favorite was the slime in the gym. Somehow covered in slime Xander looked really fine.
Freya snickered in my head, “You are too funny.” I felt a little bad it didn’t seem anyone knew it had been Max and Theo that pulled the prank.
I looked my mate up and down. My husband was just so sexy it wasn’t fair.
I linked Max and Theo, “I’m so sorry… I thought people knew it was you guys…
because you do things like that… a lot.” Theo replied, “It’s not a problem.
Often, no one suspects us.” Oh… well that was odd.
Max agreed, “It is.” I gasped, “I didn’t mean to link that.
” Theo laughed, “Shocking.” He was being sarcastic.
Theo agreed, “I was.” UGH! I couldn’t have inside thought and now I was unintentionally linking. Max said, “It’s kind of fun.” Uh oh. Could I turn it off? Neither said anything so I thought maybe I had. I had to explain how I knew they’d pulled the prank.
I asked Freya, “Isn’t it obvious I hacked into their gym feeds? Xander was there a lot, so I had them recording. Sometimes I just watched him work out for hours. The sweat would glisten on his abs… and... Oh gosh… I can’t think about that.”
Freya disagreed, “Or think about it more, and run off to a dark room.” That had merit. Dylan wanted to know how we kept getting away from them. We could show him! I could talk to Lisa this way, and it would be fun! Freya grumbled, “Sneaking off with mate would be more fun.”
I grabbed my friends and ran outside. I said, “Ok… we will do this… just like we used to practice. Split into teams.” Kingsley said, “I’m with you.” I asked, “Do you have your phone?” Kingsley nodded. I asked, “Who else does?”
Sierra replied, “I didn’t have time to grab mine.” Kingsley ended up being the only one with a phone. I laughed instructing Kingsley, “Give it to Si.” Kingsley tossed it to her. I told Sierra, “We will pass it back and forth. Hastein will have the Hackura track her phone.”
Sierra laughed, “I did always want to taunt the future Crown Prince of the Hackura.” I clapped, “Then this is perfect!” Kingsley laughed, “Sarcasm, little Melanie. That was sarcasm.” I shrugged, “Ready and break! Everyone scatter!”
I grabbed Kingsley, threw her over my shoulder, and ran near to the gym. I pointed up in the tree. Freya groaned, “For the love of god girl, we are not squirrels!” I told her, “I had to improvise without you. Old habits die hard.”
Kingsley snorted, “Your wolf isn’t thrilled about the tree jumping, is she?” I asked, “How did you know?” Kingsley said, “You said that out loud, Mel.” I shrugged. Kingsley grabbed me and jumped up into the tree.
I asked, “How are you and Hastein?” Kingsley smiled, “We are really good. He’s been so great and so has his family.
It really makes me miss mine. I’ve seen them all now in my memories that have come back.
I have a sister and an older brother. I have cousins, aunts, uncles, and my parents. I have friends.” Her voice broke.
Kingsley whispered, “I don’t know why they abandoned me and left me out here all alone. My friends abandoned me hurts too because we were so close.” I surmised, “And….you want me to find and kill them for hurting your feelings? Done.”
Kingsley snickered, “No need to kill anyone just yet.” I sighed then brightened, “We could kill Lisa. That could be fun. The Daniels were totally into it. I picked up the subtext.” Kingsley laughed, “Keaton Daniel’s girlfriend with the annoying voice?”
I pointed out, “His ex-girlfriend now. There’s a new girl… and she’s easily better, even though I know nothing about her.” Kingsley laughed, “We probably shouldn’t kill Lisa.” I frowned. I did tell Emmett I wouldn’t shoot her, but technically I didn’t say I wouldn't kill her.
That would cause problems though. I sighed, “I’ll settle for breaking her nose, since we are going to find her and talk to her anyway.” Kingsley laughed, “I’m so glad we are finding her. I can’t wait to hear this discussion and punching her is fine.”
Tristan was below us now. My brother pointed out, “Talking kind of gives you away.” I snorted, “Yeah… I know but it’s ok… because you can’t catch us.” I jumped into the next tree. Tristan yelled, “MELANIE JANE, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”
Freya huffed, “Being a squirrel. I blame my sister for this. It’s her fault you do this because you met the Weresquirrels. With me being with you on your sixteenth birthday we would NOT have resorted to tree jumping.” I mean…. I did it before I was sixteen.
Tristan yelled at me to come down. I snorted, “Why would I do that? I’m winning.” Tristan linked, “Please be careful.” I snorted, “Now you sound like Caine.” Tristan groaned. I got to the edge of Blue Mountain and went through the holoport.
Not before throwing up a peace sign at my brother and mate.
Tristan linked, “How is doing a BACKFLIP being careful?” I replied, “I didn’t do a roundoff back handspring with it.
” My brother groaned. Mom linked, “That was very graceful. Have fun, Ladybug.” Finally, someone who could appreciate the fun.
Kingsley came through after me saving me from crying. My friend said, “Your brother is lamenting about you having a holoport in a tree on the border. Also was the backflip through the holoport necessary?”
I answered, “Yes it was, and so is a portal in a tree. I’m in trees a lot.” Freya huffed. I said, “Chill wolfie of mine.” Freya snorted and Kingsley laughed. We were in Nashville now, so I grabbed her and ran to the Yellow Hills holoport.
Kingsley said, “Oh good. You were serious about talking to Lisa with the annoying voice.” I changed my mind and ran through the portal at the edge of Black Mountain in time to hear Hastein ask Blade to help.
I ran back through with Kingsley to Nashville. I lamented, “Well, crap. Blade is like super good at anticipating moves. He’ll probably find us in Yellow Hills… just to prove he can. Lisa is ruining my game.”
“I’m definitely punching her in the face. I could add karate chopping her throat. Maybe that would make her voice normal. It would be a win for all… when you think about it… she’d have to admit she can talk normally.”
Kingsley threw her head back laughing as I dragged her through the portal to Yellow Hills. The second we stepped through; I heard an argument. Keaton stated with Alpha authority, “I’m leaving.”
Lisa shrilled, “Then you’ll have to run me over!
We aren’t done talking!” Keaton argued, “I am done talking!” Lisa shouted, “You can’t want that human over me!
” Huh… Katie was a human? It felt wrong, but it also didn’t matter.
Humans were fine. Keaton snorted, “You wish she was human.” So, no.
Freya told me, “Channing confirmed she’s not human. ”
Lisa yelled, “SHE MAY AS WELL BE!” What on god’s green earth did that mean? I advised, “I’d run her over Keaton. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Must you make your voice so annoying, Lisa?” Kingsley snorted.
