Cinnamon Rolls #2
I teased, “You’ll have to do better than that. I’m fast.” Keith asked, “Can we go back to your girl problems?” I held up my hands saying, “I’m single. You’re the one with some weird thing going on. All because you kissed May after Aunt Susie said she went on a date.”
Keith growled, “Tony Jr. is supposed to tell me when these things happen.” I laughed, “I’m shocked your future Beta didn’t want to tell you the girl you liked was going on a date. It’s almost like he knew how you would react.”
Keith’s choice as a Beta was going to be big.
My dad and brother were proud Keith wanted Tony Jr. as his Beta.
Channing snorted, “Just Bolt and Lightning?” Ok, I was proud too.
This pack’s Beta position was always making history in packs.
A Beta with no Wolf blood was going to stand beside my brother.
There was no denying that Tony Jr. was the right man for the position either. When Melanie was going by Ashley Griffen, she proved those without wolves could handle the positions of power. Alexander’s Luna was a force of nature.
Alexander and Melanie being mates made a lot of sense together when you really thought about it.
I left Keith’s room after some more light teasing.
I spotted dad smirking in the hallway. I gestured, “All yours, old man. Make him see the light please and thank you.” Dad laughed and walked into Keith’s room.
The morning after we went back to Gray Stone. Keith spent a lot of time texting May. For a guy who didn’t do girlfriends, he was well on his way to getting one. A little before Christmas Clara called me. I answered, “Well, if it isn’t the Beta to my Alpha.”
Clara laughed, “Just you wait. You’re in for it, Keaton.” I groaned, “Why? I didn’t do anything.” Clara taunted, “Immy said she found the perfect girl for you.” Now I really groaned then pleaded, “Come on, Clara. Help me out here.”
Clara seemed resigned, “You know no one can deny Immy. She’s got a new friend.” I muttered, “She makes friends all the time.” Clara said, “That’s true but my little sister said this girl has a good aura.” Normally, I’d say bullshit, but reading auras was one of Immy’s powers.
Immy was spot on when she said Lisa had the worst aura in the pack.
Immy was just too nice to tell the whole pack that, so not even Lisa knew.
I told Clara, “I’m not looking to date.” Clara was quiet then said, “It wouldn’t be the worst thing.
Immy isn’t sure what this girl is yet. My little sister says she makes hilarious comments about Wolves.
Immy said it’s strange because she doesn’t seem to realize why it’s funny. ”
I asked, “Is she human? Because said girl might actually not know it’s funny.
” Clara swore, “Hand to god Keaton, Immy says she’s some type of Supernatural.
Just not one Immy has met. Yet it feels like she has.
My half Fairy / Hood sibling is all twitterpated with excitement with her new mysterious friend. ”
I asked, “Do you like this friend?” Clara admitted, “I haven’t met her yet. She’s working in the bookstore with Immy though. You’ve been offered up for driving lessons.” I snorted, “I’m not getting in a car with Immy. No way, no how.”
Clara laughed, “You’re misunderstanding what I’m saying.. You’re teaching Immy’s friend to drive.” I yelled, “Oh come on!” Clara laughed, “Immy promised you’d do it, Keaton.” I cursed, “That smart little shit! Great! I’m giving driving lessons. Who is this girl?”
Clara laughed, “I’ve been told I can’t tell you her name. Apparently, this should raise your intrigue about said new girl.” I groaned, “It raises my irritation. So, this is a new girl to town?” Clara answered, “Yup. She’s starting school after winter break.”
Clara paused then added, “Immy said it’s a really sad situation, actually.
The new girl’s mom took off with her new boyfriend and left new girl.
The new boyfriend did get this girl a bunch of nice stuff.
Immy said she gets the sense her new friend hasn’t had nice things.
My sister also said the whole mom ditching her in an apartment while she jets off with a boyfriend isn’t new.
Immy said her new friend is very lonely. ”
Now I felt bad, because that sounded awful. I pointed out, “Well, now Immy is on the case. This girl will have more friends than she knows what to do with soon.” Clara laughed, “That’s true. Immy plans to introduce her to May, Lee, and Brian.”
Lee and Brian were twins, and Lee was Immy’s best friend. They were our Lead Warriors, Carry and Kincade’s, pups. Two of their many pups actually. Haley and Eric were responsible for Lee and Brian being conceived because they released magic in our area.
Kincade often says he didn’t mind it one bit. Their youngest sibling was Adeline. The twins were in the middle of Kincade and Carry’s pups. For some reason Channing felt very possessive about Lee and Brian meeting this girl.
My wolf growled and was practically spitting nails but seemed unable to form words. I knew it suddenly felt like I was a caged wolf when I was not. Channing was so upset I actually growled. Clara asked, “What just happened?” I honestly answered, “I don’t know.”
I asked my wolf, “Channing, what’s wrong?” My wolf was practically pacing as he huffed, “We should meet the new girl first. We are giving her driving lessons.” I rolled my eyes at him. Weird wolf. I asked Clara, “What else do you know about this girl?”
Clara cackled, “Oh my god, stop! Immy was right! I didn’t tell you the new girl’s name and now you want to know more. How does that girl know so many things?” I rolled my eyes but waited for my future Beta to tell me more.
Clara continued, “Immy said she’s beautiful. Like picture perfect model pretty. I know the new girl has long blonde hair with blue eyes, and, Immy said I had to say this as a direct quote to you, ‘full pouty lips.’ Apparently, she has an hourglass figure and she’s about five foot eight.”
Well, the new girl certainly sounded pretty. Maybe giving her driving lessons wouldn’t be terrible. Clara snickered before adding, “Oh, and uh some people are pretty pissed you’re going to give this girl driving lessons.” What?
My future Beta smugly told me, “The green eyed monster has been set loose on the pack. Your ex has told everyone this girl is the ugliest, rudest girl alive, and the pack needs to avoid her at school.” I growled realizing that meant Lisa was angry, which concerned me for the new girl.
Clara laughed, “Interesting growl. No one is listening to Lisa of course because Immy loves the new girl, and everyone loves Immy; whereas no one was like the shrill Harpy of Yellow Hills.” I said, “Hey, Lisa’s voice isn’t her fault.” Clara groaned.
I added, “How did Lisa meet this girl?” Clara growled now, “Your ex ran into her and Immy in town by the bookstore. Lisa gave Immy shit about her biological mother not wanting her.” I stared at my phone before snarling, “Lisa did what?!”
Channing growled, “HOW DARE SHE! Immy is a sensitive person!” I knew that.
Clara grumbled, “Right? I was so pissed! Emmett punished Lisa though. The troglodyte has kitchen duty the rest of the month. The new girl, who is quite possibly my new favorite person, got in Lisa’s face about it.
According to Immy, new girl stunned Lisa into silence. ”
A strange feeling of pride settled in my chest. I said, “Good for her. No one gives Immy, Tony Jr, Annie, or Bryce shit about their biological mom. They were so beyond wanted by Matt, Ted, Joanie, and even Drisenella. Drisenella just wants to be the fun aunt in their life. Which is fine, because Joanie wants to be their mom.”
Clara said, “You’re preaching to the choir. Momma Joanie is the best.” I muttered, “I can’t believe Lisa said that to Immy.” Clara snorted, “I can. Anyway, Lisa is trying to get the whole pack to go after this girl, as if anyone would do so for her.”
Channing felt up in arms. Clara continued unaware of my raging wolf, “Your brother, being the Alpha, has had to have a sit down chat with your ex. He’s told her if he gets a single call about Lisa bullying this girl there will be hell to pay. Guess what she told him?”
I frowned at my phone saying, “Hopefully that there will be no problems between her and said girl who is Immy’s nameless friend.” Clara laughed, “My naive adorable Alpha friend of mine, no. Your ex told Emmett that he would be sorry he talked to her like that when you came home.”
Channing roared, “KEATON!” I replied, “I heard her.” Channing snarled, “I would NEVER hurt Lighting! That’s what has been implied,” I told him, “As I would never hurt Emmett.” Just thinking of raising a hand to Emmett was unfathomable.
Clara continued, “Lisa said you’d be mad at your big brother, and it would make it hard to run everything together when she was your Luna. Especially if a dominance fight came to pass because that would make the family look bad.”
Channing snarled and it slipped out while I stared at my phone in shock.
I told my future Beta, “I’ll call you back.
” Clara muttered, “No one believes you’d get into a dominance fight with Emmett.
” Channing took over, “I WOULD NEVER HURT LIGHTING!” Clara assured him, “We know that, Channing.” I hung up the phone before I threw it.
I called Emmett faster than I comprehended. My oldest brother answered, “Hello, Keaton.” I growled, “Uhh no that’s not how we greet me right now.” Emmett asked, “Uh what?” I snarled, “My ex-girlfriend threatened you, WITH ME, and you didn’t even call. What the hell, Emmett?”
Emmett said, “I can handle a teenaged girl, Keaton. Though I appreciate your concern.” I gaped at the phone. I yelled, “My ex said she was going to be my Luna to my brother! YOU ARE THE ALPHA! She threatened the insinuation of a dominance fight between us!”
