Page 81 of The Married Alpha And His Arrow: Vol 1

Lexi kissed me and stared at me for several moments before taking off. Kevin sighed, “I wish she was slower.” I laughed as he took off after her. I shifted and ran for my house. Susie was about to leave for school.

I kissed her on top of the head, “Have fun, Susie.” She smiled, “My friends are walking with me today. Mommy promised that her and Daddy would walk behind us. I told her I’m a big girl now, and I can walk with my friends.” I agreed, “You are.” My dad glared at me, but I ignored him. I walked to my office.

Matt came into my office with a satisfied grin. I teased, “So, you pulled Ted out of the house?” Matt nodded, “I sent the guards away and fucked him outside. All the guards are back now though.” I nodded, “I need to know when I can get away for a few days. I want to take Lexi to my place on the Virgin Islands.” Matt sighed, “Let me look.”

He studied the calendar then said, “You could go the weekend before Alpha Lyon’s wedding. You could leave Friday night and get back on Wednesday. You could feasibly do Thursday if you really wanted.” I smiled, “Done. Make it to Thursday.”

Matt rolled his eyes, “Fine, but I get time off to take Ted there when we have our mating ceremony.” I said, “That’s fine. When will that be?” Matt smiled, “Valentine’s Day. The man is a romantic, and he has ideas. He has a scrapbook and everything.” I commented, “All the single people will despise you.” Matt shrugged, “It will make my mate happy. I could give a fuck less about anyone else.”

Derrick entered the office. He sat down and worked with us for about ten minutes before he shot up like a rocket. He yelled, “My mate is near!” I closed my eyes. He sat down in a huff putting his head in his hands. He complained, “Now she’s not. Is my mate a fairy who is toying with me? I’m losing my mind here!”

I admitted, “I don’t think so.” Both Matt and Derrick looked at me. I explained, “I think you are Sally Quaid’s second chance mate. I could be wrong, and it could be a fairy.” Derrick interrupted, “No, that makes sense. I want to meet her when she gets back. She will need to be wooed. My wolf and I can take it slow. I’m going to plan out dates to take her out on!” He jumped up.

I said, “It might not…” He was out the door as I finished, “Be her.” Matt snorted, “No, I think you hit the nail on the head with that one. That would make all his behavior make sense.” I sighed, “So he’ll just be crazy for a while. Sally said she was going to take things slow.”

Matt thought about it, “Ted told me they were going to have Haley fairy magic her a house. It’s going to be near theirs, so he should be able to be near her. She also has guards. The ones HE insisted she have. My phone beeped. I looked down.

Lexi:Sally rejected Noah and went to the Hackura realm. Haley is fixing up her house now. Ted and I are going to the Shroud to pick up her stuff.

Me:Be careful.

Lexi:Naturally ;)

I told Matt. “I don’t like this Lexi and Ted going to get Sally’s stuff deal.” Matt sighed, “I’m not a fan either, but they are together.” I nodded. We got to work. We went through several pack disputes. It made the day pass by.

Cort Farmer, Kincade’s dad, and our former Lead warrior, linked, “Fifteen rogues just attacked Alpha Cameron’s border. Luna Reagan is fighting, protecting their pups.” Matt, Derrick, and I were out the door shifting.

I alerted Susie’s guards, “Rogues are attacking Cameron, be on alert!” Cort linked, “It’s doubled. Thirty rogues.” I growled, “BOLT! Leave them behind, get to Cameron’s!” Bolt kicked it into high gear. I saw the fight happening. They were going after the pups and Reagan…

My heart stopped. Reagan was fighting with two of her warriors and two of mine. She was bleeding in a few places but holding her own. Where the FUCK was Cameron?! I linked him, “WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!” Cameron replied, “In my office. Why?” I yelled, “WHAT THE FUCK?! YOUR WIFE IS FIGHTING ROGUES AND YOU ARE IN YOUR OFFICE?!” Cameron snarled, “WHAT?!”

He didn’t know? I explained, “Thirty of them against five. Pups are in danger! MOVE YOUR ASS!” I heard a snarl I recognized as my brothers. The rogues froze. Reagan took advantage, taking another down. I reached her, ripping the head off a wolf that was about to bite her leg off. I growled.

My pack joined the fight just as Cameron and several warriors arrived. We quickly defeated them. Cameron shifted back yelling, “REAGAN?! Where the fucking hell was my link from ANY of you?!” She shifted back. She had some wounds but was healing quickly. She was shaking, “Our pack link wasn’t working. I couldn’t even link the warriors beside me.” Cameron pulled her flush against him.

Matt reported, “Our border patrol killed two witches and Sophia’s pack killed one.” He nodded towards a dead woman at the border with Sophia. I turned and spotted Sophia and Alfred. They’d just shifted back to join us. I shifted back as well.

Sophia explained, “We got word of a witch inside our territory. I didn’t know they could stop a pack link.” Cameron growled, “Dark witches can. The kind that works with Hammond. He’s testing the borders. HE COULD’VE KILLED REAGAN!”

Reagan retorted, “Reagan was doing just fine. Thank you though, Chase. That one was going to hurt.” I smiled, “Anything for my sister-in-law. I’m glad you’re alright.” Derrick rubbed his sister’s back. I couldn’t imagine seeing Susie in this type of situation.

Cameron turned to the pups, “Is anyone hurt?” They all shook their heads eyes wide. Three little girls ran to Reagan. One handed her a large t-shirt. “I got this from behind the tree. It’s the Alpha’s, I’ve seen him hide stuff there. You were so brave, Luna! I want to train and be just like you!” Reagan smiled, “Well then we will work hard, and you can fight just like me.”

Cameron linked me, “If you hadn’t had a patrol…” I assured him, “We will adjust run patrols more often.” Cameron nodded. He grabbed shorts from someone throwing me some. Which seemed like a waste. I was just going to have to shift and go home. I put them on anyway.

Cameron yanked me into a hug clapping my back. “Thank you, big brother.” I laughed, “Hey, I’ve always had your back little brother.” We all got dressed. Reagan cleared her throat, “We need to get the pups back.” I nodded to her, and she snorted, then demanded, “Get over here, Chase Daniels.” I gave her a hug.

She said, “Don’t think this doesn’t mean we won’t be having ourselves a chat. I’m on your schedule for next week.” I laughed, “I look forward to it.” She nodded and backed away. Derrick wrapped her up in a hug, “Be careful, sis.” She assured him, “I will.”

Cameron pulled me into another hug. He linked me, “I have never been so scared in my entire life.” I replied, “I know. Lexi got stabbed the other day. I was a wreck.” Cameron yelled out loud, “WHAT?!” I shot him an incredulous look.

Reagan turned around, “That was very loud, Cameron. What are you two linking about?” Matt saved our ass, “The incident with Sally Quaid. Lexi Scott got stabbed protecting her. Ted was a wreck.” Reagan's eyes widened, “But she was fine last night…” Her confusion cleared and she smiled, “Haley.”

Matt confirmed, “Yup, Haley.” Reagan put a hand on her chest, “Thank god. I really like her. Well, both of them. I meant Lexi though” She gave me a pointed look. I said nothing. Cameron linked me, “Were you ok?” I replied, “That’s depends on your definition of ok. I almost killed her ex on the street in broad daylight.” Cameron said, “So no. That’s not ok. That is not ANYONE’S definition of ok, big brother.” I shrugged, “It would’ve solved a problem or five.”

Derrick teased, “I’ll give you about twenty minutes to call mom and dad yourself. I linked Opal what happened. She’s on her way to see you.” Reagan huffed at him. He winked. She gritted out, “Fine. I will call mom and dad. Don’t you dare tell them, Derrick.” He smirked, “Hey, currently you’re the one in trouble. If I wait longer than twenty minutes, I’ll join you. That hardly seems fair since I ran with my Alpha to save you. Big brother style.”

Cort Farmer came sprinting up to us and shifted. He handed Matt his phone. Cort said, “It’s urgent.” I frowned, “Go Matt. I’ll be right behind you.” Matt nodded and ran with his phone on his ear. Cameron immediately said, “Sophia, Alfred, thanks for the assist.” Sophia nodded, “Of course, Cameron. It’s good to see you. We will increase our border patrols with you.”
