Sophia glared at him, “You did this, didn’t you? You’ve been so disrespectful to my Beta lately.” Princess Luna Haley scoffed, “Exfuckingcuse me?! WHO is he? I have literally never seen him before in MY LIFE! I did this! ME! You know, a woman. Because I don’t need a fucking MAN to give me original thoughts or ideas. Nor do I need a man TO LEAD MY DAMN PEOPLE. You want to know who I share that common ground with?”
Sophia had gone silent. Matt was shaking with silent laughter. When Sophia didn’t answer Princess Luna Haley shouted, “YOU, BITCH! I have that in common with YOU!” Alfred growled, “Don’t call my Alpha a bitch.” Princess Luna Haley frowned, “A female dog is a bitch. Do wolves not know that? I thought that was common knowledge in this realm.” Blade was now laughing out loud.
Derrick couldn’t hold his laughter any longer. I was barely managing when my phone beeped. It was Cameron.
Cameron:Lexi took the party for our pack. Reagan is pissed at me. She threw things, but Lexi will be here in my territory at ten this morning.
Me:Thank you, little brother. Somehow, I have interesting news too.
Cameron:If you introduced yourself to Lexi after I left when you saw her this morning, I will have Reagan throw things at you next.
Me:No, I didn’t. I hope you dodged what she threw. I have the Fairy Hackura Princess in my office. She made an appointment with Sophia, and then popped her here. They are arguing.
Cameron:NO FUCKING WAY! I did dodge everything. She didn’t actually want to hit me.
Me:I know she didn’t want to hit you, but yes that’s what happening in my office at this moment.
Sophia snarked, “Are we boring you, Chase?” Haley hissed at her. I reminded her, “I do have things to deal with. I was talking to Cameron.” Haley interjected, “Not that his business is any of yours! You’ve been on your damn phone every five minutes since I popped you here. You even complained about me popping your ungrateful ass in here to solve YOUR problem. I am taken for granted, every damn where I go.”
Sophia growled at her again, but this time her guard drew his sword. I linked Sophia, “Are you insane? You can’t disrespect her in front of another Hackura! It’s a bad idea anyway because Alpha Eric is by all accounts head over heels in love with his Fairy Hackura mate.” Sophia winced.
We all stared cautiously at Blade. Haley cautioned, “I’d watch it, Alpha Sophia. My guard does not abide disrespect where I am concerned. Nor do my people, just as a general rule.” She spoke in Latin and her guard sheathed his sword.
Haley continued, “Since I’m being nice, I’ve told him to let some things go. Growling and whatnot.” Matt laughed. Sophia lost it yelling, “BETA MATT STOP LAUGHING!” Princess Luna Haley’s head whipped to him. She clarified, “Beta Matt as in Molly’s brother? That Beta Matt?” Matt nodded, “One in the same.”
Princess Luna Haley studied Matt from head to toe surmising, “Huh. I can see it.” Matt turned red. I linked him, “Does she know you fucked her husband?” Sophia was confused, “What? Matt and Molly don’t even look alike.” Derrick linked, “Yes, they do.” He was right.
Haley griped, “Was anyone talking to you? I don’t fucking think so. I was talking to Beta Matt, who you WILL stop being so rude to immediately. I like him.” She stood and stuck out her hand to Matt, “It’s a pleasure to meet you. Please call me Haley.”
Matt shook her hand, “It’s nice to meet you as well. My sister quite likes you.” Haley smiled, “I like her too. I’ve heard about you from a few people in my home. It’s always good to put a face with a name. I do hope we can get to know each other better.” Matt was beat red, “I’d like that, Haley.”
Derrick linked me, “What’s up with him? What did she mean other people in the house?” I replied, “Ask Matt.” Derrick shot me a look. I winked at him. Haley smiled, “Good. Now, onto the purpose of our meeting.”
Matt linked me, “She definitely knows about me and Alpha Eric.” I bit my lip, “I’m sure he didn’t want her blindsided. You two would’ve eventually met.” Matt replied, “Call me crazy, but she does not seem upset at all, right?” I rolled my eyes, “She does not seem mad in any way, shape, or form. Trust me, you’d know if she was mad.” Matt asked, “That’s weird, right?” I shrugged, “She’s an interesting person.”
Princess Luna Haley sat down in one of my guest chairs then said, “Now, let’s all discuss the pig in the room.” I laughed. Beta Alfred interjected, “Pig? Don’t you mean Elephant, Haley?” Haley turned her gaze on him, “Did I say you could call me by my first name? I recall telling Beta Matt HE could call me Haley. YOU are not Beta Matt, and I’m not sure I like you. You may call me Princess or Princess Haley. For now, anyway.” Beta Alfred frowned.
Matt interjected, “Alpha Eric would insist on Princess Luna Haley, as you are his Luna, which Alfred knows.” Matt shot him a grin. Beta Alfred showed him his teeth. Princess Haley continued, “Ok, call me Princess Luna Haley. Can someone tell me why I would say Elephant?”
Beta Alfred explained, “Because that’s the saying.” The Princess threw her head back yelling, “I CAN’T HANDLE THIS REALM’S SAYINGS ANYMORE! WHY would wolves have ANYTHING to do with an elephant? Have NONE of you heard of the wolf and the little piggy’s houses? This problem is OBVIOUSLY the brick house the wolf is trying to blow down but can’t because it’s a brick house.” I could hear Beta Caleb wheezing on the phone he was laughing so hard.
Haley waved her arms, “See your problem is we don’t need anyone to blow it down, we need some damn dynamite. Which in case anyone was curious, is me.” I howled with laughter. Alfred lost his battle not to laugh. Even Sophia was hiding her smirk. Derrick was crying he was laughing so hard.
Matt spoke, “Ok, I want one of our own. Our pack needs a fairy.” Blade smiled, “Is Fun. Is trouble.” Princess Luna Haley said, “Umm excuse me. It’s not my fault trouble finds me. I go about minding my own damn business and trouble just pops up like a bad fairy I can’t get rid of.”
I heard a pop. Alpha Eric, Alpha Jackson, and another fairy were now in my office. Princess Luna Haley pursed her lips, “Hello husband of mine, I see someone tattled. Have you come to join our meeting?”
The other fairy cackled, “Cousin, you are amazing.” She gave Princess Luna Haley a kiss on the cheek, “Have fun with this. God, I wish I could stay.” Princess Luna Haley waved, “Bye, Bex.” I linked Matt, “Bex, that would be Bexley the mate of Lead Warrior Liam, yes?” Matt answered, “It would be.” Bexley waved at her, shot me a wink, and left.
Sophia said, “Fabulous. Alpha Eric, tell your mate to pop me back to my territory.” Haley ordered, “WILL YOU STOP RELYING ON A MAN TO GET WHAT YOU WANT?! I’m over your fall back mode of needing a man. I’ve been as nice about it as I’m willing to be. Put on your big girl panties Alpha Sophia, and the be the damn Alpha you are! Do you even REALIZE what you could be to ALL the first-born female pups of Alpha’s out there?”
Sophia frowned at her. Haley threw her arms out in exasperation, “YOU should be their beacon of hope. YOU should be who the aspire to be. The bad ass Female Alpha out there owning her shit, LIKE THE BADASS YOU ARE! I should be asking you to join my bad ass girl gang, but NOOOO you are acting like a scaredy wolf. Give Alpha Chase the annulment that you fucking promised him before I let my fairy side pull hijinks on your ass for breaking a promise.”
I linked my Beta, “I think I love her in a friendly platonic way that will not get me killed.” Matt snorted, “You think? I’m making her my best friend before Reagan gets in on this train.” I included Derrick in our conversation, “For the record, this was not a problem.” Derrick answered, “Obviously, I spoke in haste. This is the best damn morning we’ve had around here in a long time.”
Alpha Jackson winked at Matt then said, “Haley, that’s not the saying. It’s scaredy cat not wolf.” Haley groaned, “FOR GODS SAKE! She’s not a cat, she’s a wolf! This realm needs to fire its sayings guy.” We all laughed.
Sophia even smiled at her before saying, “You just don’t understand.” Alpha Eric laughed now. Haley’s eyes blazed gold. She gritted her teeth, “I KNOW your bitch ass didn’t just start a sentence with I don’t FUCKING understand! I do understand. You have let a bunch old men say you can’t run your pack. Because they are ass backwards thinkers who can’t get with the times. I understand.”
