Revelations #8
The man asked, “And if she did move on?” He smiled, “I’ll be happy for her.
I won’t mess up her life, or her happiness, if she’s found it.
I just need to see her again. She’s always been everything to me.
” The man sighed, “Before I was captured, I might have heard about your girl. The Beta of your pack made waves….”
The guy laughed interrupting, “He’s gay. Did he finally come out?” The man answered, “He did. Your Alpha stood by him. I believe the woman….” I was thrown back. I yelled, “HEY! That conversation wasn’t over! What the hell?! Did his mate move on? Is she waiting for him?”
I was now in front of Keaton. My boyfriend was sobbing which broke my heart. I knelt beside him. I whispered, “Key, please stop crying.” He had papers in his hands. I looked over his shoulder to read what was on the pages.
My jaw dropped, “A SEX REPORT?! I’ll KILL LISA FOR THIS! I will EMbrACE my mob side! I’ll ask Caspian how to kill her and get away with it. This was THEIR FIRST TIME?! WHAT A BITCH! How many pages is this?!”
I tried to grab them from Keaton, but my hands couldn’t grip them. Keaton cried, “I’m a failure.” I wanted to hold him, “Key, no. Lisa’s just a bitch.” Keaton whispered, “My family would be ashamed.” What? I watched as the paper seemed to fuse to him.
I yelled, “IT’S HER TEARS!” I heard whispers all around us of what someone considered my boyfriend’s failures. I whirled, “Where are you?! WHERE IS THAT COMING FROM! STOP SAYING THAT TO HIM!” It sounded so creepy.
I noticed Lisa was back at some cabin smirking. She was whispering into papers she held. She was doing this. I yelled, “YOU BITCH!” Then I was thrown away. I huffed, “OH COME ON! Let me at least kill her in this place I’ve made up!”
I was now in front of a man. I frowned, “I’ve seen you before.
” He nodded, “You have. When you wake up, do not tell anyone what you saw.” I snorted, “You mean that I have a new career path? Story writer extraordinaire. Because in no world would I tell anyone about this as if it was real. I’d get locked up. ” Again.
He laughed, “You are more powerful than even you know. Our kind has been waiting for you for a long time. You hold pieces to the past. Things show themself to you now that you are seventeen.” I scoffed, “Great. Fine. I won’t tell Lisa how I know she’s a BITCH! I’m still decking her.”
The man laughed, “You could tell your brother, Caspian. He will be expecting you to say something about this, he suspects.” I asked, “Why?” The man didn’t answer. He simply waved his hand back and I was in the ocean.
Then I was falling again until I landed on my pillow. I sat up with a gasp, “What the ever loving hell was that?!” Keaton wasn’t in bed with me though. There was a note beside me, so I grabbed it.
Odette –
I’m getting us breakfast. I hope I’m back before you’re up, but I’m coming
Happy Birthday, My Song
I smiled and jumped in the shower. Ok, I didn’t know some of those people. I needed to figure out if Lisa actually gave Keaton a report. Maybe my subconscious is projecting. Or I realized something in my sleep that happens to people. I’ve heard people say that, that must be it.
Was it though? No, it had to be real. Those things happened. Harpies? Wolves? I screamed as my head throbbed. Sassy hummed softly which distracted me. I asked her, “Hey, where were you that whole time?” I swear she snickered. Whatever. The headache went away.
So, I can’t think about those things, but I can think about how my birthday present to myself is going to be punching that wicked bitch. How DARE Lisa do that to Keaton. He was MINE! Sassy firmly agreed with that statement.
I heard my apartment door open and jumped out of the shower. I found an outfit laying out. I snorted, “I didn’t even hear Immy come in.” It was a really cute gray and green workout outfit. Was I working out today? I shrugged and put on the yoga pants and sports bra top then twirled in the mirror.
I looked pretty dang good. Immy was right, my butt was definitely bigger as were my boobs. I smiled, feeling very secure in myself. I grabbed the workout jacket and threw it on, but I didn't zip it up. I was going to flaunt myself and be confident today.
I walked out and found Keaton taking containers out and putting food on plates. My boyfriend had cinnamon rolls, bacon, eggs, waffles, and muffins. I laughed and put my arms around his waist teasing, “Someone is hungry.”
Keaton turned around then growled, “Odette.” My man pinned me against the wall in a flash. I smiled, “Good morning.” I began to pant as his hand touched my bare stomach and slid up towards my breast. Keaton cupped one and moaned.
I whimpered, “Key.” My boyfriend smirked, “Happy Birthday, Odette.” Then his lips descended on mine. I knew I could get lost in those lips every day ending in y. This was a great way to celebrate my birthday.
When someone knocked on the door Keaton growled menacingly.
Bryce yelled, “Don’t shoot the messenger!
Immy made me give her a promise that wasn’t clear, I can’t make her break it.
She said Odette’s, and let me just say I’m so glad we get to say that now, outfit would get your motor running. We have a schedule though.”
I laughed, “Immy could break a promise.” Keaton groaned and ground into me.
He caught his breath and yanked the door open.
Bryce smiled, “Thank you. Good morning, Od…” He spotted me then said, “Oh dear, I see. Why does my little sister do these things?” I shrugged, “Because Immy is the best. She should be a personal shopper.”
I skipped over to breakfast and grabbed a cinnamon roll. I ate it quickly then looked up. Both men were staring at me. I asked, “What?” Keaton smirked, walked over and his tongue slid across my lips before they were back on mine. Bryce cleared his throat.
Keaton pulled back, “You had a little frosting on your lip.” Bryce snorted, “Yes, and that is how one gets frosting off someone’s lip.” Keaton growled at him and yanked me against his body, “MINE!” Bryce sighed, “Such a testy man you are.”
I laughed and kissed Keaton’s cheek. I said, “Let’s all sit down and eat.” Bryce smiled, “Don’t mind if I do.” Keaton grumbled until I sat in his lap. Bryce sighed, “I gotta get me a girlfriend.” I laughed, “Don’t tell me there’s a shortage of girls who want to be your girlfriend.”
Bryce smirked, “I’m picky.” I laughed, “So, you could have a girlfriend.” Bryce winked at me, “Some say I’m a lot to handle, I can be dramatic.” I shrugged, “That won’t matter to the right person. I actually went to school with a girl who would look super cute with you. She’s pretty chill too.”
Bryce asked, “And her name is?” I smirked, “Her name is Larisa White.” Keaton stiffened and Bryce shot him a look. Keaton asked, “And where did you meet Larisa?” I answered, “Texas.” Keaton snorted, “Ok then.”
I asked, “Do you know her?” My boyfriend cagily replied, “Maybe. What does she look like?” I answered, “She’s got black hair, brown eyes and….” The look on his face told me all I needed to know. I grinned, “You totally know her. Does Bryce know her too?”
Keaton laughed, “I don’t think he met her, no.
” Bryce smiled, “Keaton could arrange a meeting with this chill girl for me though.” I teased, “You could date an older woman. Larisa graduated last year.” Bryce wiggled his eyebrow then winked, “I’ll let you in on a little secret, Miss Odette, I always date older women. ”
I smiled, “Then I’m good at this.” Keaton snorted, “Quite possibly.” Bryce smiled, “Maybe these here parts could take the crown away from the techy wife over in Black Mountain being the hookup person.” I asked, “Techy wife?”
Bryce laughed, “There’s a girl who knows a lot of people, she’s got A LOT of friends.
” I shrugged, “I wasn’t Larisa’s friend.
I wasn’t really anyone’s friend except in one place I’ve lived.
My ex didn’t like them, and my mom took me away.
” I put my fork down, because this longing hit me and Sassy.
I missed Melanie, Addison, Paige, Avery, Valentina, Olivia, and Sierra.
Keaton consoled me quickly, “I’m sure we can find them for you.” I snorted, “I’m going to find them when I turn eighteen. Right now, I’m not rocking the boat. Mom hasn’t called, emailed, or shown back up to make us leave, and I want to stay.”
Keaton growled and slammed his lips on mine. When I looked pulled back and looking into his eyes I wanted to groan. I was seeing things again because my boyfriend’s eyes were all black. Keaton told me, “You’re not going anywhere.”
I tapped his nose, “Which is why I can’t find my friends yet. If my mom found out, she’d make us leave.” Keaton pulled me against him. Bryce said, “We have to go, Keaton.” My boyfriend growled at him. I teased, “You’re very growly today.” I bit his ear and whispered, “It’s hot.”
Bryce sighed, “That’s not helping.” I giggled, “But it’s my birthday.
” I bit my lip smiling. Keaton asked, “What’s that smile for, my Song?
” I admitted, “I’ve always wanted to say that.
I’ve heard so many people use the birthday excuse for something.
I’ll admit, I was jealous because I never got to say it myself.
” Nothing I wanted ever mattered and that excuse would’ve had Luke hitting me so much sooner than he did.
Keaton kissed me again until Bryce repeatedly cleared his throat. Keaton groaned, “FINE!” He stood up and carried me. I squealed, “What are you doing?” Keaton answered, “Carrying you to my truck. Bryce can sit in the back.”
I pointed out, “Wouldn’t he drive his own car?” Bryce said, “Nah, I ran here.” I gasped, “You RAN here? Jeez.” He wasn’t even sweaty. It was several miles from where Keaton had driven me that one day. My head started to hurt. Nope, not today. No thoughts like that on my birthday.
