Page 228 of The Married Alpha And His Arrow: Vol 1

I laughed, “You do realize that confirms…. Oh my god.” Lexi asked, “What?” I dragged her to my SUV that was waiting for us. I threw our bags in and jumped in the driver’s side. As soon as I closed the door I said, “Your company’s name is Bull’s Eye. Sweetheart, that’s so sneaky. Also hiding in plain sight.” Lexi laughed, “I have no idea what you could possibly be implying.”

Lexi filled me in on some details about Haley and Aiden being the chosen siblings on the drive home. I wanted to groan. We were going to be fielding people coming for Haley and Luna Emmaline left and right.

Lexi asked, “Hypothetically, why does Beta Dylan call Eric God Alpha Prick?” I laughed, “I believe that is because Alpha Eric’s mate is a Princess. A double Princess at that, and his pups have fairy powers and wolves.” Lexi jokingly asked, “Are you sure it’s not because he secretly has a death wish?” I laughed and parked in our driveway, “Beta Dylan is a big pup. He definitely plans to live a long time to make us all laugh. He forgets who he’s dealing with sometimes. Alpha Eric will only let it go so long.”

Matt appeared by my door, “Word on the street is Alpha Eric got Dylan back before they all ended up in California.” I shot him a look, “You couldn't have waited until we got inside?” Matt smirked, “No Chase, I couldn't.” He smiled at Lexi, “Hello Luna.” Lexi stuck her tongue out, “It’s still just Lexi.”

Matt teased, “You two crazy kids. Everyone is really happy for you. Chase, you, and Cameron have a hotel reservation in Alpha Lucas’ territory. Since you took your sweet time getting back.” I frowned, “The mating ceremony isn’t until later tonight.” Matt said, “Yup. Which is why there’s a hotel with your tux in it. Cameron’s waiting to drive you there. Get moving.”

Lexi’s smile fell, and it made me want to punch my Beta. Her phone rang. She sighed, “Back to the real world I guess.” I kissed her, “Stay safe.” She replied, “You too. Weddings around here seem to be fighting events.” I winked, “Stick with Kincade and Kevin.”

Matt corrected, “Kyler and Kevin. Kincade is busy.” I growled, “Doing what?” Matt nodded to my brother, “That would be a conversation for you and Cameron to have.” Lexi assured me, “It’s fine, Chase.” I glared at Matt.

Lexi pulled me away from him. She said, “I have to get going.” I nodded. I looked over at Kyler and Kevin. I commanded them, “Make sure she’s safe.” They both nodded. I sighed watching her leave. I was more relaxed because this time I could feel her in my chest.

Matt commented, “Well, that’s the best you’ve done with her leaving.” I growled, “Where is Kincade?” Cameron shouted, “He’s on rogue duty.” I asked, “Why are you shouting. I could hear you whisper! Also, what?” Matt shoved me towards the car, “In the car you go. Bye now.”

As we drove Cameron explained. “There were several rogue attacks on my pack. We fended them off, but we need Kincade. He’s the best warrior in both packs. He and a group of his warriors that he trained are running our borders.” I sighed, “That’s the right call.” Cameron nodded, “I know.” I questioned, “Where’s Reagan?” Cameron answered, “At the hotel getting ready.”

Right when we pulled in my phone rang. I raised an eyebrow. I answered, “Beta Dylan, I thought you would be busy.” Beta Dylan bemoaned, “Everyone likes to ruin my plans, Alpha Skywalker. Hadn’t you heard that yet? I had whiskey plans and reminiscing stories about my Alpha’s and my bachelor days, but alas Goblins have ruined my hard work. I had stories ready to go and everything.”

I shot Cameron a look before I asked, “Goblins?” Beta Dylan asked, “Did I stutter? Yes, Goblins. We expect zombies any moment now. Can you get to the mating ceremony my lovely Luna calls a wedding early?” I replied, “I’ll be there soon.” Dylan clapped, “Good man.” He hung up.

I stared at my phone. Cameron asked, “Goblins?” I said, “This is going to be about the Fairy prophecy shit.” Cameron groaned, “Let’s go. We went behind the hotel to the woods and shifted, then took off running for Alpha Lucas’ home.

We spotted their group and ran over. Cameron linked me, “Hackura Princes. Those are the Hackura Princes.” I agreed, “Yes, they do appear to be Haley’s brothers.” Cameron commented, “Our lives are seriously crazy now.” I scoffed, “You have no idea.”

We shifted back and grabbed some spare clothes lying around. Dylan said I looked tan. Cameron linked me, “Did you just blush?” I shot him a look, “Shut up.” Cameron teased, “But you did blush. Did you get the tan while having sex?” I glared at him. He laughed, “You did!”

Dylan asked if I took my wife on a trip. My anger snapped. He knew full well Sophia was an arrangement not my wife. Lexi would be my wife, My REAL wife. No one would call Sophia my wife ever again.

Dylan was taken aback by the severity of my reaction. Cameron clapped me on the back and linked me, “Calm down. He doesn’t know.” Alpha Eric linked me, “Are you alright, Alpha Chase?” I replied, “I’m fine.” Alpha Eric evaluated me.

I couldn’t focus on him because Bolt wanted to throttle Beta Dylan. I linked Cameron, “Bolt wants to strangle Beta Dylan.” Cameron reiterated, “He doesn’t know about Lexi.” I’d bet he thought he did. The Goblins told the Hackura they intended to attack the wedding for Haley and Luna Emmaline. We all growled when the goblin said they were going to rape Luna Emmaline. Emmaline’s brothers muttered a spell and the goblins seized up in pain.

Alpha Eric pointed out the girls have been here together this whole time. Why did they want them now? The goblins said Haley could take powers away. That with her they could take away King Aiden’s powers.

Cameron linked me, “Good thing she’s friends with my mate now. Because damn that’s terrifying.” I had to agree with him. The Fairy King popped in. Cameron linked me, “He’s an arrogant fucker.” I agreed, “Yes, he is but he’s a King they tend to be arrogant; especially fairy ones.”

King Aiden winked at me as he explained they couldn’t take Haley’s memories because she was twice light bound to Alpha Eric. He bared his teeth at the goblins. When King Aiden explained Luna Emmaline was soul tied to Alpha Lucas the fight drained out of the goblins.

Cameron linked me, “Not that I’m complaining, but why does that matter?” I answered, “I don’t know why you think I would know the answer to that question. I’m not a goblin or fairy expert.” King Aiden set them on fire. Cameron said, “Umm I don’t think we had all the answers. Fairy’s man.” I said, “We definitely didn’t.” The Fairy King might though.

King Aiden explained the goblins admitted defeat because of the fact that Alpha Eric and Haley being twice light bound, and Luna Emmaline being soul tied to Alpha Lucas. Bolt huffed, “We caught that.” The explanation continued. Only Alpha Lucas’ pups could be soul searchers because of that tie to his mate.

I linked Alpha Eric, “Thank the Moon Goddess that protects them.” Alpha Eric met my gaze, “Nothing could stop me from protecting my Angel. She’ll never be hurt again.” I believed him. I also noticed the warning in his gaze. I met it head on. I didn’t plan to hurt Lexi or Haley. I loved Lexi.

I let him see it in my eyes. He looked startled then closed his eyes. He was probably trying to convince himself he didn’t just see that. Bolt huffed, “Thor told me he’s only surprised you let him see it. He knows you marked mate which means we love her.” I scoffed, “You’re talking to his wolf about it?” He answered, “Yes, but he's not telling Eric we talked.” Fair enough, I guess.

King Aiden explained more about Haley and Luna Emmaline. Basically, erasing their memories wouldn’t work because their souls would recognize those they were related to. Their memories would come back once they saw their mates. The fairy army was going to apparently come and protect the wedding.

I linked Cameron, “Can we spare anyone?” Cameron said, “We already have people on our borders. Link Kincade to send some people to my border with Alpha Lucas.” I linked Kincade the instructions. I told them that our people would be on the borders. I linked my dad and Matt to be alert.

Beta Dylan decided to tease me. I apologized. I told him Sophia was a sore subject. I linked Cameron, “Especially since I’d marked Lexi apparently.” Dylan pushed me further saying I was one of God Alpha Prick’s followers. Alpha Eric linked me, “He’s teasing. He means nothing by it.” I didn’t bother to answer him.

I gritted out my marriage wasn’t real. Dylan said Sophia was still pretty. Seriously? Could he get off the hot wife analogies? Sophia was practically my sister. Dylan looked far too delighted with my analogy. He asked everyone with a sister if they would marry them. Specifically, he asked about Haley Conners. Alpha Eric and I were both growling at Dylan. The Hackura were smirking at me. Fuck they knew about Susie too?! Bolt linked, “And mate.” True.

I gritted my teeth and told Dylan I respected Sophia that was it. He said you don’t marry people you respect. I linked Cameron, “Where the fuck was he with that advice four year ago?” Cameron said, “Being sarcastic somewhere else. He was out of town.” Why the FUCK was everyone out of town that day?
