Haley replied, “He appears to be a good guy who made a shitty decision that he’s trying to fix. Now you’re in the mix, so I’m going to help him fix it.” I laughed, “Then I’m sure it’s practically resolved.” Haley nodded, “If you want to know more let me know.” I shook my head, “No, I just want to see how it all works out.”

Haley hugged me, “I’m always here for you, and I’m always on your side. You know, that right?” I nodded, “I do. I don’t even know if I’m excited to meet him or not.” Haley grumbled, “The asshat Troll ruins everything.” I laughed, “I just can’t handle another secretly horrible man.” Haley shrugged, “Let’s be honest, I’d kill your string if he was. You know this about me. I’m not subtle. Your string is not horrible, just an idiot. It seems to be a problem with that Y chromosome fucking shit up.”

I laughed, “That must be it.” Haley sighed, “You know how I was with men before Eric.” I nodded, “I do.” Haley said, “Even when he makes me so mad that I can’t fucking see straight. Or even when he hurts my feelings; I’m happier with him than without him. I can’t even imagine my life without him, and I don’t want to.”

She added, “Plus, our kids are little stinkers, but they are so damn cute. I want that for you, Lex. I really do. You deserve the best, and I have been assured your string is a good one. Eric told me and I used my powers on several other people. He is a vouched for good person, whose file I stole from my dad’s computer. He just on occasion, makes a bad call for what he feels are the right reasons. Don’t we all do that though?”

I smiled, “Thanks, Hales. I love you too.” Haley smiled, “I do love you. Onto other subjects, WE are going to Disney World with the girls after school today. Bring your BA mask and dress appropriately to be around humans and whatnot.”

I thought about it then agreed, “I can work that into my schedule. Why are we going to Disney World?” Haley sighed, “Because men are assholes, and we need girl time.” I laughed harder, “Is Lucas in the doghouse?” Haley smirked, “Quite fucking literally, and so is his Beta.” I teased, “What about Eric?”

Haley shrugged, “He’s not in the doghouse exactly. We yelled at each other, fucked, talked more, then fucked again for a while. Then we calmly spoke to each other, and we are ok now. After it was determined we were ok, we actually made love instead of fucking.”

I gaped, “It’s still weird to hear you talking about sex. Have you even gone to sleep yet then?” Haley snorted, “Sleep is for other people without a million things to do. Or a sexy mate to climb. Why is he so sexy? No, the right fucking question is: WHY DEAR GOD WHY do people make me do other shit besides climb him all day?”

I pushed, “So, you like having sex? I know you were worried about it.” Haley smiled, “I love having sex with him. It’s amazing.” I teased, “I’d say so if you basically screwed him in between getting mad at him all night long into the morning. I’m surprised he didn’t get upset about you popping here.”

Blade spoke, “Wolf mad. Princess push wolf. Enjoys game.” I jumped exclaiming, “I didn’t realize Blade was here.” Haley sighed, “Everyone is being crazy about me not going places alone. So, Blade is on the crazy train today. He’s going to be extra levels of enterfuckingtained.”

I tried to hold in my laugh, “What are you doing today?” Haley explained, “Talking to you obviously. After this I have to pop back for training with Molly. Which our mates are obnoxious about because she’s pregnant. It’s not like we fight. Wolves. She’s pregnant, not injured. Then I have time to shower. Get some information ready for my team to upload into our database from the event. Then I have a meeting. After that I plan to gather everyone for our Disney World fun.”

I joked, “You know relaxing is a thing you could do.” Haley frowned, “That’s what Disney World girl time is for.” I smiled and hugged her again, “Thank you for giving me the choice about knowing who my string is. I don’t know what fairy shit you did to accomplish not telling him, but I’d guess it was to the detriment of yourself.”

Blade snorted, “Arrow smart. Always smart.” Haley waved her hand, “It’s nothing I can’t handle. Faerie is all abuzz with the ancient fairy ritual I performed. My brother tells me this as if I give a shit about what they think.”

I looked at Blade then asked, “Will you be ok? I don’t want this to hurt you.” Haley reiterated, “I can handle it. I’m a pro at this shit. Besides, you don’t want anyone to tell you. I respect that. It gives me time to handle the fucking problem that your dumb ass string finds himself in. Now, you prepare your schedule, someone from my Hackura side of the family will come get you and bring you through a portal to Disney World.”

I smiled, “You don’t know if I have a mission.” Haley tilted her head, “You do have a mission. Mission cheer up the girls at Disney World because it’s fucking girl time. Your brother owes me. Besides, if that fucking Troll has another mission for you, I DARE him to try to have you do anything for it today. Seriously, I fucking dare him.” Blade laughed.

I admitted, “I’m actually on a break from missions. So, I appreciate you including me.” Haley smiled, “The bad ass girl gang sticks together. Alright, onto my wonderfully busy day of beating heads together.” I asked, “Whose head are you beating? Do you need help?” Haley smiled, “I told you I have a meeting. Heads will be clanked. Fairy Hackura hijinks may need to happen.” I laughed, “Then they don’t stand a chance.”

Haley grimaced, “I plan to be somewhat nice at this meeting. If a second meeting is needed, then they will feel my wrath.” I bit my lip, “Oh to be a fly on that wall. Go get them Princess Luna Haley Conners.”

Haley waved, “You go crush the party planning world!” I agreed, “I will see you later.” Haley hugged me again. I think she was going for a record. Meeting Eric easily opened up her touchy feely side. We’d hugged before but not like this. He really was good for her. Blade nodded to me, and they popped away. I looked at my clock. It was only six in the morning.

I tried to go back to sleep for thirty minutes then gave up. I got up and got ready. I drove to the hotel not feeling anyone following me. I smirked. They’d have a hell of a time trying to follow me around. It was best they figure that out now. I was almost inside when I smelled sandalwood again.

Before I could investigate, I heard Ted yell, “Look at you early birding it! I got your coffee.” He handed me mine. I hugged him, “Bless you. I had an early wakeup call.” I forced my mind to stop focusing on the sandalwood smell.

We got inside and I took a deep breath. Slowly my body began to relax. Ted evaluated me, “This area does weird things to me sometimes too. I swear the WHOLE area reeks of apple pie. I went to Sally’s yesterday DEMANDING a piece. My mouth was literally watering. She insisted she had no apple pie. I went into at least ten other places. No one claims to have this delicious smelling pie. I will find it though; you have no fear. No apple pie can hide from me for long.”

I laughed, “I’m sure you will track it down. No one has a better nose for apple pie than you. I don’t smell that around here though. I smell sandalwood.” Ted frowned, “Ick. I’m going to focus on my apple pie. It smells amazing and must have myself a slice or five.” I smiled, “We need to get to work. Apparently, I’m being kidnapped for girl time at Disney World.”

Ted stopped walking. He exclaimed, “EXCUSE ME GIRL? Am I invited?” I reiterated, “It’s girl time.” Ted waved his arms, “AND?” I laughed, “It’s the bad ass girl gang. I’ll have Haley invite you to the next one. Then you can come to Disney World.” Ted sighed, “You better get me something fabulous from the shops while I work my happy little ass off in the office.”

I winked, “You don’t have a little ass, Ted. You work yours off in the gym to have buns of steel.” Ted turned around and I spanked him. He grinned, “You KNOW that I do. Gotta make all the men run to my yard, and I don’t have a milkshake. I use my buns of steel.”

I laughed and we walked into my office. Ted picked up the ringing phone. He pulled the phone away from his ear for a second then replied, “Well, you’re in luck. The boss lady is in the office early. She doesn't have anything on her calendar because she’s normally not here. I’ll transfer you back to her.”

I called, “Hey, I get in the office before nine.” Ted rolled his eyes, “You do. A Luna Reagan Daniels on the line. Apparently, she has a party emergency. I guess her husband threw a party in her lap late last night and told her to call the nearest planner in the area. He requested someone whose website subtly hints that they work with supernatural’s. The she wolf is in a state of panic. Her mate doesn’t seem to understand she may kill him.” I giggled, “Well, we can’t have that.”

I put my phone on speaker, “This is Lexi Scott. Is this Luna Reagan Daniels?” Reagan was clearly flustered, “Yes, ok thank god! Please say you can help me. My husband and I just took over this pack recently, and now the crazy man has INSISTED we have a party THIS WEEKEND. He seems to think planning a party is no big deal. This is our FIRST event with the pack, and the dolt thinks I can just throw together a party for over one hundred people BY MYSELF! I want to be a good Luna, and I’m trying really hard. Then he throws me this curve ball. Out of the blue might I add, and he has NO IDEA why I’m upset.”

I tried to calm her down, “We can help you out. We do have an event this weekend, but it’s small and my partner can handle it. We’ve had the details down for it for months.” Ted beamed at me. It would be his first solo event.

Reagan took a deep breath, “Thank you! You are literally saving my husband's life right now. I can’t believe that man.” I laughed. We talked about details, and I decided I could swing out to her pack around ten this morning.

I hung up with Reagan and called Sally. She answered, “Hi, Lexi. Are you ok? We were all so worried!” I sighed. My SOS must have rattled everyone. I assured her, “I’m fine, I promise. I’m calling because I wanted to see if you could handle food for a barbeque for one hundred and fifty people this weekend?”
