Page 72 of The Married Alpha And His Arrow: Vol 1

Opal shouted, “AMEN GIRL!” We went back inside and kept playing. We all ended up in our underwear running around the house screaming at one point. The wolves were in hysterics laughing as some arrows flew outside the barrier. We’d taken to adding to Haley’s saying for running around the house.

The more we drank, the more laps we ran while screaming things about my ex. The man himself had gotten PISSED about the prank calls. A couple of them we were just laughing hysterically, and he refused to be the one to hang up.

After twenty rounds I’d gotten to prank him again. I ran outside, “One of you wolves have to prank call the Troll! I want to see what you’ve got.” They tried to stifle their laughs. Joanie stepped forward, “I’ll prank call the Troll.”

Ted squealed, “YES GIRL! I love her! FUTURE BABY MOMMA PEOPLE! BEST CO-PARENT TEAM EVER!” Joanie laughed. Haley popped in and looked amused. She announced, “The triplets are down for the night. It seems I missed afuckinglot. Are we prank calling the Troll?”

I laughed, “He’s so mad.” Sally added, “He’s so mad that stupid vein in his forehead is probably popping out.” She started laughing. Joanie put the phone on speaker and dialed. Noah answered, “WILL YOU STOP CALLING ME!” Joanie sounded baffled, “Excuse me sir? This is your phone provider. We are testing your service due to an increase in activity.”

Noah sighed, “Fine.” Joanie continued, “Great. If you could repeat after me.” Noah huffed, “Ok.” Joanie smiled, “I’m not the girl.” Noah repeated, “I’m not the girl.” Joanie held in her laugh, “That you lost.” Noah repeated her words. Joanie yelled, “I’m the girl you failed to keep, Troll!” Noah screamed, “STOP CALLING ME!” Joanie hung up and gave us the phone back.

We stepped back inside the barrier and Haley took the phone and called him right back. Ted was running around the house screaming about Noah being a Troll. Haley held the phone up letting Noah listen until she hung up. She shook her head, “You’d think he’d stop answering then damn phone if he was going to whine about people calling him.”

Sally snorted, “He’s too controlling. He wants to believe that he can make it stop.” Haley rolled her eyes, “Only if we want it to stop.” I clapped, “You know who we need?” Haley asked, “Who?” I squealed, “Luna Reagan! I helped her put together a barbecue. She's fun!”

Haley’s eyes narrowed, “Alright. I know her, I’ll be right back.” Haley popped away, then a portal appeared and out stepped Haley and Reagan. Haley held out her arms, “I give you Luna Reagan who is probably linking her very confused mate.” I laughed “Look at you, all fairy fun with the popping away and portalling back in. You’re a very mischievous fairy tonight it seems.” Haley laughed at me. Then she closed her eyes and snapped herself a martini and drank two of them quickly.

Sally squealed, “THAT’S THE SPIRIT!” Reagan inquired, “So, what’s happening?” I grabbed her three shots for her, “Catch up! We are getting our girl Sally over the Troll!” Reagan laughed asking, “The Troll? The one who is not worthy of Sally Quaid? We’ve had some reports of shouting variations of that sentence.” Ted giggled, “We are famous!”

Haley answered, “Yes, the Troll not worthy of Sally Quaid who is Lexi’s horrible ex and Sally’s soon to be rejected ex. Then we begin project get Sally a better man. Mind you, I was already working on that project. I have so many projects. I have one that clearly needs more attention before shit goes down. Why is there no FUCKING time in my day?”

Reagan admitted, “I don’t know.” She slammed her shots. Haley smirked, “I like her.” Reagan said, “Good. I want to be friends.” Haley asked, “With whom?” Reagan playfully touched her arm, “With you!” Haley was stunned, “ME?!” Reagan nodded, “Yes, with you. Friends, you, and me.”

Haley laughed then asked me, “Did you hear that, Lexi?” I said, “I did.” Haley smiled, “I’ve got friends.” Ted squealed, “GIRL! We have been friends for six years; you’re just finally coming to the party.” Haley laughed and snapped us all strawberry martinis, “That calls for a celebration. To having friends!” We all clinked glasses and Haley slammed her drink, so we did too.

Reagan groaned, “God, I needed this after my day.” I frowned, “What happened?” Reagan sighed, “The fertility specialist I went to said we have a twenty percent change of having a pup.” Haley snorted, “Get over here, bitch. I’ll fix you right up. If you want to go into heat, I’ll pop you home.”

Reagan’s eyes bugged out, “No, you don’t have to do that.” Haley raised an eyebrow, “New friend Reagan, no one makes me do anything anymore. Get your sometimes furry ass over here and let me heal you. Then we have to snap everyone fabulous outfits and take sexy pictures of Sally to send to Noah. It’s important that he know what he’s missing.”

Reagan had tears in her eyes, “Alright. I don’t want to go into heat. I’m due for one around New Years anyway.” Haley nodded and a glow surrounded them. Sally smiled, “She’s just awesome.” Ted agreed, “Yes, she is. It’s a shame she doesn’t see it.”

Haley backed away looking confused. I asked, “What’s wrong?” She frowned, “I’m getting better but that seemed like there was mag… you know what? It’s a crazy thought.” I was about to argue when she popped over to me saying, “You first.” She snapped and I looked down shouting, “DAMN, HALEY!” She’d snapped me into a black one shouldered dress, with material in strategic places and sheer cutouts throughout.

Ted squealed, “OW, OW! Me next!” Reagan woke up, “That was something.” Haley snapped Ted into a new outfit while I changed Chase’s name in my phone to ‘My Guy’ just in case Haley saw the name. Ted was in an all black outfit too.

Haley snapped Reagan’s outfit next. Haley had clearly decided there would be no more black. Reagan snorted, “Cameron’s going to eat his tongue.” Reagan had an off color red dress that was low cut with a belt around it.

She snapped herself into a long sleeve pink dress with cuts across it. Ted’s jaw dropped, “Your wolf will die!” Haley shrugged, “I’m not actually going anywhere in it. He’ll be fine.” Reagan snorted, “He will RIP it off you. If that’s what you mean by fine, then yes he will be fine.”

Haley turned to Sally clapping, “You’re next!” She snapped and we all gasped. Ted shrieked, “SALLY QUAID! WHERE THE HELL HAS THIS BODY BEEN HIDING?” I told her honestly, “You look incredible, Sally.” She looked down and twirled. She was in a skintight hunter green dress with a sweetheart neckline.

Haley snapped all our hair and makeup done before Ted took pictures of everyone individually. I sent them to Chase. Ted and I took some pictures together after I took some of him to send to Matt. We’d sent the both of them dozens of pictures of us together, with Reagan, and the whole group.

Heath called me. I answered teasingly, “You’re going for a record today, big brother.” Heath laughed, “Noah is breaking things. Sally looks very nice in her dress. Haley sent him pictures of her face and her finger; flipping him off.” I laughed, “Of course she did. Do you want a group picture?”

Heath joked, “Will Haley's wolf claw my eyes out?” I teased, “Not if he doesn’t find out.” Heath sounded deeply amused, “You guys are drunk.” Haley shouted, “WE ARE TIPSY!” I put him on speaker phone. Heath retorted, “You are tipsy but only because you can’t get drunk. The rest can and clearly are.”

Haley walked over to the stereo, “Sorry we can’t hear you, Heath! We are about to dance around to Taylor Swift!” I laughed and Haley turned on a song calledTwenty-Two. Followed byPicture to Burn. While they played, she took Sally outside and we burned the picture of Noah after we’d taken it off the tree. Something tingled in my memories. That seemed familiar, but I couldn’t remember why.

Ted bumped me, “She might have to use Google, but the girl does break ups right.” Reagan agreed, “She does.” She looked down at her phone, “UGH! Annoying man! Haley, can you portal me back home please? I don’t want to ruin this dress by running and Cameron insists I come now.”

Haley popped over then called, “Be right back!” She opened a portal. She’d actually taken a bit longer to pop back than she needed and was giggling when she did. I asked, “Haley?” Haley smirked, “Eric was with Alpha Cameron.” I heard several snarls outside.

I pointed out, “He’s going to follow you.” Haley clapped, “CATCH THE TIPSY FAIRY HAS BEGUN!” Everyone laughed. We went inside but came back out when we heard more snarling. Eric yelled, “WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE?” Haley giggled.

Kincade explained, “It’s a fairy protected house. You can’t see it.” Eric growled, “Angel, get out here!” Haley cackled, “But I’m winning!” Eric reasoned, “You’re cheating.” Haley laughed then hugged Sally, Ted, then me.

She looked me in the eyes before saying, “You can tell me anything you know.” I smiled, “I know.” Haley studied me then popped to the barrier. Kincade, Mark, and Kevin look up towards the sky. Ted snorted. Haley clapped, “Let’s see how quick you can catch the tipsy fairy, Thor.” She popped away. Eric growled and shifted taking off after her.
