Heart to Heart #9
Drake said, “She better be joking.” Charles chuckled, “Young wolf, I would’ve never let any Vampire own Melanie.
Nor would she.” I let him go. Hastein commented, “I know the answer.” Then I remembered.
Kingsley’s Dragon had called Melanie her Werewolf pet.
I relaxed right as Melanie said the same thing.
Dylan said, “CPCNA, we do not do this whole thing where we only share half thoughts here. Tell the class who Kayda is.” Hastein answered, “My mate’s other half.” Dylan yelled, “NEW GOAL! I must be the second pet of CPCNA’s mate!”
Several people snorted and several others outright laughed. Booker and Melanie traded jabs until Slade came forward. I was practically salivating with how badly Melanie wanted to kill him. Tristan growled, “If I get my hands on that guy….” he trailed off as several people laughed.
Valentina warned Tristan, “You won’t. Melanie has wanted to kill him since the night she was taken.
She’s going to kill him, and she deserves to.
” Melanie’s voice sounded like pure venom and hatred when she spoke to Slade.
Not that I could blame her. I had no nice feelings for the man either. Oden snorted, “Less than nice.”
Gage asked, “How ya doing?” I retorted, “How do you think?” Gage winced. I linked Mason, “Play the song. I want my wife out of there.” The next moment the remix began to play. Wesley chuckled, “If Melanie kills the Vampire King when the beat drops then….”
Dylan interrupted squealing, “Of course the plan will kick off when the beat drops. Beta blood people. Say it with me! BETA BLOOD! Also, MelAshley is a dancer. It’s all about the beat.” My mate did in fact use the leg of the chair to kill the Vampire King of Missouri.
Mom scoffed, “What fucking Vampire has wooden chairs?! That’s insane.” Charles and Arthur spoke simultaneously, “Agreed.” Charles hummed, “Stupidity does kill.” Mom snorted, “Complacency kills. He was centuries old.” Arthur inclined his head.
Dylan said, “Don’t worry Vampires that we love, I got your back.
Dylan is now on the lookout for complacency that kills.
” Dad dryly chimed in, “Thank god. Now he will annoy you all.” Dylan gasped, “You wound me, but I know you love me. I’ll make time for you always LGSAP, don’t you worry. You hold a special place in my heart.”
Dylan pointed at the screen saying, “Oh look MelAshley gave up going after Slade for the special, nonfunctioning sword. NO ONE TALK OR TOUCH ME! I MUST SEE THIS MOMENT!” Everyone actually held their breath as Melanie went for said weapon.
My wife shot and sliced her way through a lot of people. Eventually, the Vampires stopped going for her. They seemed to want to see her with the sword. Melanie launched onto the fireplace, then I felt her pain. I snarled in anger.
Dylan said, “Ugh. Why does MelAshley still want the useless weapon?! WHAT IS HAPPENING?!” Several people were laughing as my mate’s hand burned inside that house. Jason growled, “What the hell is Ladybug doing?” Drake said, “She’ll have a reason for getting it.”
Melanie screamed for Kingsley. I locked eyes with Hastein.
My cousin realized, “This is what your mate wanted to talk to K about.” I nodded.
Dylan said, “Wow. MelAshley loves your mate on a deep familial level to give up Slade to get her a weapon. I AM BACK TO BEING EXCITED!” We watched in collective awe as Kingsley caught the sword.
Dylan shrieked in excitement when the blade appeared.
A flame appeared from the red jewel in the form of a Dragon. Hastein groaned, “Great. My mate is the chosen one if the legend Charles spoke of is to be believed, and now everyone knows what my mate’s other half is.”
Dylan yelled, “WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! How does that sword tell us what she is?! I missed that part of the Vampire, we’ve decided to like, story. Tell it again Vampire Charles, and slower. I SHAN’T MISS THIS POINT AGAIN!”
Charles frowned saying, “I don’t know how my story tells what she is.
” I slowly said, “The flame does.” Dylan grabbed the tablet from me and studied it.
He zoomed in then threw it back at me, yelling, “What are you talking about? It’s just a flame!
I’ve met Demons, she’s not one. Nor is she a Fire Fairy. Explain yourself, MMSGAP!”
I asked him, “You don’t see an animal the flame forms?” Dylan answered, “No, I see a flame. LGSAGP you better see a damn flame too or I’ll elevate you in status. I’ll do it. Don’t you test me!” Dad admitted, “I just see a flame too.”
Mom asked, “Really? I see it, but I suspected.” Uncle Aiden smugly said, “I see it too.” Hastein looked at his immediate family who nodded. Dylan groaned, “Oh great. Only people who know what K is see the flame take shape. OH, CRUEL UNKNOWING UNIVERSE! Life is so unfair.”
Hastein sighed in relief. I said, “It is still really cool even if you can’t see the animal.
” Dylan conceded, “This is true! CPCNA has some type of chosen someone as his mate. Who is surprised? Anyone? No, cool me either. MelAshley has answers to what that is. The plot thickens! My show is the best.”
Charles hissed, “Melanie get out of there!” Hastein told me, “The place is going to blow.” I closed my eyes acknowledging, “My wife is going after Slade.” I tried to link her as fear filled me.
I announced, “Melanie’s blocked me out.” Tristan howled in anger while Sam gripped Drake’s hand so hard her knuckles were white.
Sam said, “Melanie will be ok, she has to be.” I heard a helicopter start up. Charles hissed and grabbed my tablet to switch it to the roof view. I nearly broke it when my mate kicked the door down. My wife fought people then started to run. My heart stopped as I realized she was going to jump.
Gage sighed, “I hate all these plans.” I yelled, “MELANIE, NO!” I wasn’t the only one yelling. Hastein grabbed my arm to yank me back when my wife barely caught the runner of the helicopter and launched herself inside from sheer will.
My heart felt like it was sputtering in my chest. I watched in horror as the helicopter began to go down from the blast. I yelled, “GET US IN THERE!” My mate was falling out of the sky.
Thank God I could hear a splash because my hearing was so good.
I told the McAlister’s, “They are in the pond.” Melanie was in pain, but she was alive.
Kingsley made her way to us. Hastein’s mate smiled when she saw him. Kingsley asked, “Isn’t this sword awesome?” Hastein smiled at her. A pop sounded behind her before her sword was knocked away as Kingsley whirled around.
Hastein threatened the newcomer, “I don’t know who you are, but don’t you dare touch her.” Uncle Aiden said, “That is Rifstel O’Toole. Who has apparently been turned into a Vampire.” I looked back at the man who had fangs. Oh good.
Kingsley punched him and melted off his cheek. Dylan said, “I’ve got it everyone! CPCNA’s mate is an Ostrich, Panther, Bigfoot, Lava Monster. It’s so obvious. How did I not see that?! She is the one I needed for the blog. Obviously.”
Rifstel and Kingsley circled each other. He was losing, so he popped behind her and threw her onto the ground. Hastein was pissed. Oden linked me, laughing. I asked, “What?” My wolf told me, “Freya is upset because Melanie is jumping around the trees.”
I felt my wife getting closer, so I looked up and locked eyes with Melanie. Oden said, “They know we are mad.” I retorted, “Good.” Rifstel thought he had the upper hand, but he didn’t. Melanie jumped down and stabbed him.
Mom sighed, “Damn. Melanie should’ve beheaded him.” Uncle Aiden agreed, “True.” Rifstel popped away, the coward. Several Vampires surrounded my mate and Hastein’s which led to discussions about Mexico. I asked, “What the hell happened in Mexico?!” No one answered me.
Hastein demanded, “Someone who knows should answer him because my mate was there.” Several people gulped. Before they could answer Paige spoke, “You so do not want that answer.” Then she went back to chanting. I warned, “Dalton.” Then pointed to where a partial Vampire had Patrick.
Dalton nodded and blocked Paige’s view. That would be a fun conversation. Mom sighed, “I’m being fucking tested. Come on, Eric. Let’s go heal the damn Warlock, who is apparently royalty, and is related to the Witch I like.” I snorted as my mom popped closer, with my dad, to where Patrick was.
Kingsley and Melanie briefly talked about the sword.
Melanie clearly knew all about it. Uncle Aiden said, “Something about that has to do with us. Melanie has been studying books from Faerie.” Dylan shrieked, “YES! Fairies unite with the Ostrich, Panther, Bigfoot, Lava Monster. I AM SO HERE FOR THIS ALLIANCE!” Uncle Aiden laughed.
Hastein sighed, “Great. That’s just great.” Uncle Bjourn squeezed his shoulder as our mates took down Vampires. Gage snorted, “You think it’s great?! I AM HAVING HEART PALPATATIONS!” I snarked, “You are?” Gage retorted, “Yes, me and Phil.” I rolled my eyes at him.
Another popped sounded. Mom popped back with dad. I said, “The barrier isn’t down yet.” Mom explained, “I’ll pop back. Aiden is that….?” Uncle Aiden hissed, but before he could answer Melanie said it was Aeidelyn Holloran.
I realized how my mate knew, “The diary.” Uncle Aiden asked, “What?” I explained, “Melanie was reading a diary. It had to be Aeidelyn’s.” Uncle Aiden said, “Of course Melanie was reading a diary. A Fairy would consider that inconsequential, but not Melanie.”
Someone popped behind Melanie, but she was ready. Mom shouted, “No fucking way! Two people in our family betrayed us. Aeidelyn AND Shailagh.” Uncle Aiden said, “Well, Shailagh is the one mated to the O’Toole. That was Rifstel yelling in pain because his mate was stabbed.”
The sisters were screaming. Mom snorted, “They better hope that fucking kills her before I get in there and kill those betraying, bumbling bitches. I am their DAMN blood, and I know how to fucking torture people.” Uncle Aiden winced.
