Ted came in and squealed, “This makes everything so much better! Fairy snapped outfit! Looking sexy, Lex! I already changed so no need to snap me dressed.” Haley laughed and snapped herself into a new outfit. Ted snorted, “You just like working your wolf up, don’t you?” Haley frowned, “What’s wrong with it?” I answered, “Nothing. You look great! Let’s go!” Ted laughed and we walked out.
Haley had snapped herself into a red long-sleeved crop with a red and white skintight mini skirt. Blade faded in, “Is trouble.” Ted jumped, “WHY does he do that?” Blade laughed, “Is fun.” Haley asked, “What is trouble?” Blade smiled, “Princess.” Haley gasped, “What did I do? I told Eric we were having drinks. I brought you with me. I am covered.” Blade just laughed.
Ted drove us to a bar in Eric and Haley’s territory. We walked in. Haley excitedly told us, “I’ve never been here!” We walked to the door and the bouncer did a double take. He greeted her, “Luna.” Haley smiled, “Casey, it’s good to see you.” Casey looked stunned. He smiled, “I’m impressed you know my name”. Haley smiled, “I learned everyone’s names and faces. I also know what everyone does for a living. I just didn’t know you worked here. A Luna knows her pack members.”
Ted whispered, “Where did she read that?” I didn’t know, but it was clearly from somewhere. She was reciting that last part. Casey smiled, “It is, but often people who didn’t grow up in packs don’t know that. You continue to impress, Luna.” Ted shot me a look. Someone should’ve told her that then. She would never want anyone to feel like she wasn’t doing her job as the Luna.
Haley asked, “Does Eric own this bar?” Casey smiled, “He does so your drinks will be free.” Ted clapped, “YIPPEE!!!” Haley laughed. We were led to a booth and a waitress came over, “Hello Luna, and the Luna’s friends.” Haley introduced us, “This is TeleTed and Lexi.” The waitress squealed, “Beta Male Ted? I heard you were friends with him Luna. You are SO cool!” Haley’s astonishment showed on her face for a brief second.
I hid my smirk. I’d share this problem with Haley one day. Ted winked at the waitress, “I am Beta Male Ted in the flesh.” The girl actually giggled, “Can I like take a picture with you? My cousins from California will DIE!” Ted was confused, “Umm sure?” The girl smiled and handed me her camera. I took a photo of them. The girl squealed, “Thanks Beta Male Ted.” She walked away.
Ted asked, “What in the actual hell just happened?” I teased him, “You’re famous.” Haley said, “You are. You’re the first Beta Male in history because werewolves have strange ideas about things and are completely misogynistic. I’m working on fixing that. You’re a big fucking deal.” Ted snorted and took out his phone probably to text Matt.
I asked, “What was that about Luna’s knowing pack members? You have thousands.” Haley said, “There’s a book of Black Mountain pack traditions I read recently about the Luna’s duties. I have to know the ranked members of the packs we are allies with. Even potential allies, and enemies. Knowing the pack members names is part of that.”
I asked, “Didn’t your mother in law give you the book?” She shook her head, “No.” I frowned, “That hurts your feelings.” Ted interjected, “She just might have forgotten. She’s a wolf so she’s not naturally inclined to remember people don’t know everything about packs.” I snorted, “No, she’s just a bitch.” The whole place quieted down.
Ted raised an eyebrow at me. I continued, “She definitely didn’t give it to Haley on purpose. I can’t believe she’s trying to undermine you like that. It sucks for her because your people know you care, and you already learned thousands of people’s names. I bet that selfish woman doesn’t even know half.” A few people snickered which told me I was right.
I took off my jacket and Ted squealed, “You two, photo time.” I heard Blade laugh. Haley threw him her phone too. The waitress came over and we all got out of the booth to take a picture together. Time flew by and we were having such a good time. Haley took out her phone. She read a text then laughed. She called someone and spoke rapidly in Latin.
Ted asked me, “Why haven’t we learned Latin yet?” I shrugged, “I know a few words.” Ted gestured towards Haley, “What’s she talking about?” I listened then answered, “The triplets.” Ted stared at me, “That’s it? That’s all you got?” I laughed, “We should learn Latin.” I got a text.
My Guy:I’m ripping that outfit off you later.
Me:I’m in.
My Guy:You look amazing. I wish I could join you guys.
Me:Anticipation, my dear Alpha. Also, it’s girl time.
Haley hung up her phone then announced, “I say we order food and make this a girl’s evening. The triplets popped their happy little selves to my mom and dad. That typically means I won’t be seeing them for the evening. The little stinkers.”
Ted whooped, “WAITRESS!” The girl moved to us at lightning speed, “Yes Beta Male Ted.” Haley interjected, “Her name is Lilah Ann.” Lilah Ann looked baffled and even blushed because Haley knew her name.
Ted laughed, “Well, Lilah Ann, you can call me Ted or even TeleTed…” She squealed interrupting him, “REALLY? Oh my gosh. My friends are just never going to believe this.” Ted blushed, “We need menus.” Lilah Ann nodded and came back thirty second later with menus.
Haley predictably ordered a pepperoni pizza, mozzarella sticks, then garlic bread. Ted and I were laughing as she added more and more to her order. Eric’s territory must have known how Haley ate because Lilah Ann just nodded and wrote everything down. Ted and I ordered a burger each.
She was about to leave when Haley asked her, “Does Eric own a dance club around here?” Ted howled with laughter. Lilah Ann nodded, “The Alpha owns the club across the street. It’s not open yet though.” Haley smiled, “Great. Thanks!” She left.
Haley squealed, “We are going dancing!” I laughed, “I think that could get you in trouble, Hales.” Haley pouted, “Why?” Ted asked, “Has your wolf seen you dance?” Haley thought about it, “Well, with him; yes. I haven’t gone out dancing with friends if that’s what you mean. Why would that fucking matter?” Ted and I were laughing really hard now.
I looked in the corner to see Blade hunched over laughing too. Then I spotted Kincade and Kevin in another booth with Mark and Joanie. They were trying not to laugh. Fairies were notoriously good dancers. The music flowed through them, and Haley had rhythm. She could move her hips around before she’d even had sex.
I asked, “Have you ever been to a club in this realm?” Haley shook her head, “No, I’m so excited.” I bit my lip, “Haley, with the way you dance men will try to dance with you.” She shivered, “No... no they won’t. Plus, Eric owns the club. No one will come near me.”
Ted snorted, “With the way you dance? Girl, it might be worth it to them to get punched by Alpha Eric.” The table of our guards were clearly shocked at Ted’s words. The guy behind us snorted, “Not a chance in hell. There’s nothing she could do that would be worth that. He packs a punch in training. His actual punch hurts more.”
Haley smiled, “See? It’s fine. Thank you, Jamal.” It definitely wasn’t fine. I asked, “Another pack member you happen to know the name of?” Haley snorted, “Yes, but he’s also assigned to guard me, but I’m not supposed to know that.” Jamal choked on his drink. Ted and I started laughing again.
Our food arrived. Haley brushed off our concerns completely after Jamal agreed with her. She didn’t think anyone would want to dance with her.
My Guy:I heard this is turning into dancing.
Me:Yes, and for the record, even if I’m tipsy later I want to have sex. It’s in writing and everything for you.
Haley got up to run to the restroom. I took a close up picture of my boobs in my top and sent it to Chase. He called me a second later. I smirked answering the call, “Bold move, Alpha. I can’t talk long. Haley is in the bathroom.” Ted snorted, “And Jamal followed her to the hallway.”
