Stronger With Me #2
Storm continued, “Lady deserves better. I am giving you the chance to fix it, but I will NOT have a wolf in this type of pain in my pack.” Lisa looked down, “Ok, I’ll work on this with Lady.” I rolled my eyes because I didn’t believe my ex one bit.
Alexandria took control to snort, “I’m not going to take your word for it. We’ll get someone who works with wolves. I’ll bring them here at our expense. Get back to your house and stay there. Consider yourself on house arrest until I have someone here who can help with Lady.”
Lisa yelled, “That’s not fair!” Alexandria’s voice boomed, “LIFE ISN’T FAIR! I am so SICK of your bullshit! I can’t take this ANYMORE! You’re messing with my mate and his family!” Emmett said, “Jellybean.”
Channing chuckled, “This is amusing.” Yes, it was.
Alexandria snarled, “No! This obnoxious girl has hurt you and Keaton. Hell, she’s hurt this whole family, and I’m tired of it.
I consult other Luna’s in our allied packs outside this state when there’s anything to do with her, so I don’t have bias.
Because I want to be a good and fair leader.
Now, I’m done. This is MY decision. She’s under house arrest.”
Alexandria ordered, “Take her.” I turned to see Killian Farmer waiting with two other Warriors. Killian said, “Of course, Luna. Are we doing this the easy way or the hard way, Lisa?” My ex complained, “You just hate me because of your brother.”
Killian corrected, “I hate what you did to my brother. I’m thrilled you rejected him because now he’s with Annie. If you hadn’t, I would’ve had to avoid the family on all the holidays because I wouldn't have been able to sit at the same table as you and be civil.”
Channing cackled in my head. Killian added, “Since my mom has rules about sitting at the table with civility. So, I’m actually happy you’re a selfish bitch. I get to keep my family, and my brother got the woman he should’ve always been paired to. Let’s go.” Lisa walked off with them.
My ex linked me, “Please, talk to Alexandria.” I replied, “One, I’m actually shocked you know the word please. Two, it’s Luna Alexandria to you. Three, no because Lady needs help. I can’t believe you haven’t tried to help her.”
Lisa’s voice softened, “I thought Lady was just tired. You hear that rejection can take it out of a wolf.” I replied, “Then why did you do it? Can you think of anyone but yourself?” Lisa retorted, “Come on. Everyone in this pack knows Kreed and I are not a match.” Ok, that was true.
Lisa continued, “It was always Annie for him. Just like it’s always you for me.
” Channing scoffed, “She had a point until that last sentence.” I replied, “It’s not me for you, but I’ll give you Annie and Kreed.
If you had done it for him, I’d have some sympathy for you.
The thing is, we both know you did it for the reasons you stated the day he accepted.
Because he will be a Male Lead Warrior and not an Alpha. ” I shut off our link.
Emmett cooed, “Jellybean.” I couldn’t help but smile. Emmett was always carrying around jellybeans because Alexandria loved them. I guess he’d been calling her that since before I was born. Emmett handed his mate a few jellybeans.
Alexandria glared at him but still took them. My sister in law declared, “I’m right.” Emmett smiled saying, “Of course you are. It was hot too.” I fake gagged. Alexandria laughed, “Go deal with your prisoner, Keaton.” I growled, “Gladly. Right after I deal with a Warlock.”
Emmett sighed and in all the good timing in the world Rya came around the corner with Giz. That prick had the gall to smile. I grabbed him by the collar, “You will protect my girlfriend better, or I swear to go you’ll have no teeth.”
Channing huffed, “He will cease breathing.” I added to Giz, “I’ll even tell Haley to charm your mouth so you can’t have dentures. She’d do it because she hates Warlocks and Witches. Don’t test me, asshole.” Giz tried to get out of my grip.
My cousin’s ex asked, “How was I supposed to know her kind could get into each other’s dreams?
What am I supposed to do?” I growled, “Warlock’s keep people’s mind defenses from being penetrated.
It’s kind of their thing. I’d figure it out if I were you because my wolf wants to eat you and I just might let him. ”
Channing encouraged me, “That’s a great thought. Don’t listen to Lightning panicking over if that’s a real comment or a lie. Killing the Warlock is an excellent idea.” I was going to let my wolf kill Giz if one more thing happened.
I warned Giz, “If Katie tells me her ex came into her dream again, I’m coming for you. I’ll knock your teeth out of your head then let my wolf have you like he wants. Do I make myself clear?” Giz grumbled, “Crystal.” I let him go, “If you’ll excuse me, I have a prisoner to eviscerate.”
Emmett threw his arm around my shoulder, “Let’s not kill said prisoner until we get more information.” Malachi appeared, “Yes mostly because I want to know what they are. He obviously knows.” Clara showed up, “OHH me too!”
Immy popped over, “Me three!” Clara and Malachi said, “No.” Immy pouted, “Hey now, I met Katie before all of you! I deserve the answer first.” Malachi repeated, “No, Immy. You’re not taking part in an interrogation.”
Immy argued, “Why not? I could help! I can read the prisoners aura and set him on fire. Not like fire, fire. Just a small little spark to scare him. Come on! Katie is my friend too and it’s more than fair when you consider I met her first.”
JJ asked, “Katie?” Immy turned, “Yeah, Katie is my friend.” I gave JJ a look to keep his mouth shut. My cousin said, “Uhh, ok?” Malachi interjected, “We call her not Katie, JJ. We know it’s not her name though.” I shot him a look because Malachi knew Odette’s name since I’d told him and Emmett.
JJ said, “I repeat, uhh ok? What does not Katie have to do with this? I’m so confused right now.
” I said, “I’ll explain later.” Everyone shot me a look, but I just shrugged.
Channing snorted, “We probably should’ve told our cousin people believe mate’s name is Katie.
” I snorted, “No one believes that at this point.”
We walked into the dungeons together. Uncle Heath and my dad were interrogating the guy.
He sneered, “Look who finally showed up. Luke has always hated not being able to be himself around that girl. Having to pretend to be human exhausted him, but Luke says that’s the whole girl’s personality: being exhausting. ”
“Me personally, I think her level of hotness outweighs the exhaustion. Particularly when you consider it’s not her fault she’s in the dark about everything. Plus, that ass and boobs man. I don’t know how you got her off the diet but kudos. She looks amazing.”
I snarled and grabbed him by the neck. I asked, “What is your name?” He smiled, “Do you want to know what we call you?” I snorted, “I don’t give a shit what you call me.” The guy huffed, “Aww, but I want to tell you. We call you dead wolf walking.”
Emmett ripped him from my hands. Keith showed up and yanked the prisoner’s shoulder out of socket.
I rolled my eyes, “Please, this guy can’t kill me.
” The guy said, “You are so not as advertised. How odd.” Channing admitted, “I like being underestimated. It makes their eyes widen and their heart stutter. It amuses me.” Good.
I scoffed, “Get new lines, you said that one already.”
Dad growled, “Advertised by whom?” The guy shrugged, “I don’t know, Luke does though. You have some enemies, Alpha wolf. That’s not surprising since you are messing with girls that are not yours.” I snarled.
Channing yelled in my head, “SHE IS OURS!” I rubbed my head, “I know that!” Channing surged forward, “TELL ME YOUR NAME!” The guy retorted, “You first.” My teeth elongated. The guy said, “Woah, woah! Don’t eat me, man. I’m Thelx.”
I came forward to ask, “What kind of name is that?” Thelx answered, “Mine.” Smart ass. Channing grumbled, “A smart ass that wants me to KILL HIM!” Clara asked, “What are you?” Thelx laughed, “Someone you don’t want to piss off, like your friend over there already has.”
Clara snarled, “Keaton is my Alpha.” Thelx snorted, “The way I hear it, he doesn’t act like one.
” I shifted into my wolf and snarled at the guy.
Thelx shouted, “God, someone stop him from eating me!” Emmett hummed, “You know, I have other things to do. My mate is upset and I need to buy her more jellybeans.”
Keith shrugged, “My twin would feel better if Channing ate you. So, I’m team he eats you.” Dad said, “He did comment on my son not acting like an Alpha, this is all Alpha. Channing obviously took offense and decided to show this prisoner what an Alpha acts like.”
Malachi warned, “You don’t know much about wolves because you’re appealing to the wrong group. Channing, the Beta wolves have questions.” Channing huffed. Bolt surged forward, “Stop talking about my pup like that! He IS an Alpha, and he does act like one. Whoever told you otherwise was lying.”
Thelx said, “Uhh, ok. You all staying in human form but having your wolves talk is creepy. Can someone get him to shift back?” Emmett answered, “Both my dad and I can. Am I inclined to do that? No.” Thelx reasoned, “Don’t you want answers?”
Dad linked, “Can you shift back?” I replied, “I let Channing take over.” I shifted back and shorts were snapped on me. I turned and Bryce winked at me. Thelx shook himself and faced me, “You’ll never keep her. So, just back off.” Channing growled at him.
I snorted, “Well, since you put it like that…” I trailed off as Thelx smiled.
He could not be serious. This dude could not think that worked.
I got in his face, grabbed his jaw in my hand squeezed, then snarled, “Fuck off, Thelx. I don’t do things just because someone threatens me.
In fact, it makes me want to double down.
” Thelx gaped at me, “Are you joking? What’s doubling down? She reeked of you.”
