Page 17 of The Married Alpha And His Arrow: Vol 2

I looked around once we’d popped and smiled, “This has to be your room.” Haley answered, “Yes, Aiden blew up my old room and conjured me a new one. It’s much nicer than my old room and has more pink. I don’t think that’s what we should talk about, and we need to talk.” I sighed agreeing, “We do. I have something to tell you.” Haley laughed, “I’ll say.”

I took a deep breath, “I met my string. I know you don’t know because my mask is on, and apparently your magic covers my mark, but…” I took my mask off and my mark appeared on my neck. I had to move the top of my dress slightly, but I made it work.

She didn’t say anything. So, I continued, “I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to face reality. I still don’t want to know his situation, but circumstances brought us together before you could resolve it. I’m really happy with Chase.” Haley nodded, “I have a few things to say about that. I’m very happy for you, and the fact that you’re happy. You deserve it but put the mask back on. Emmaline is coming.” I shrugged, “She’ll figure it out anyway because she’s the Soul Searcher.” Haley agreed, “She would.”

Emmaline popped into the room. She gasped and her cheeks were stained with tears, “Lexi? The party planner? You’re BA?” I answered, “Yes, care to keep that a secret for me?” Emmaline agreed, “Of course. Are you ok?” I admitted, “I’m tired but I actually wanted to talk to Haley about that. I think the better question is, are you ok Emmaline? You’re crying.”

Emmaline said through her tears, “It’s understandable that you’re tired.” She started to cry really hard. I frowned, “Haley, is she ok?” Emmaline answered, “I’m just so sad and hormonal.” I asked, “Hormonal?” Emmaline wiped her eyes, “I’m expecting quads.” I gasped, “Quads as in Quadruplets?!” Emmaline said, “Yes. Haley, what do we do?”

Haley patted her hand, “I hadn’t got there yet. It’s fine Emmaline, I promise.” Emmaline cried, “But what do we do? How is this fine?” I took in both their dresses for the first time. Haley’s was a pink ball gown with a plunging neckline and an intricate white design on it. Emmaline’s dress was also a ballgown, but blue that faded down to white with a sweetheart neckline. I put my mask back on.

Emmaline was suddenly mesmerized, “That’s awesome. How does it do that?” Haley answered, “Fairy magic. Please stop crying. Her man lover friend is Alpha Chase. Please calm down before Eric and my lion come storming up here.” Emmaline breathed a sigh of relief and sat down holding her stomach. She said, “Oh thank goodness.”

I wondered why she was so relieved. I said, “Congratulations, Emmaline.” Emmaline smiled, “Thank you. Our kids can be friends at least.” I laughed, “Chase and I aren’t there yet, but one day our kids will be friends.” Haley and Emmaline glanced at each other. Emmaline looked away and started crying again. Haley said, “Uhh Lex….” She tailed off. I asked, “What?” Haley seemed lost, “So, you’re kind of…. shit… you’re glowing.” I chuckled, “I’ll say. Ted spent a HELL of a long time on my makeup. He added some sort of shimmer thing. You’d have to ask him about it though. I don’t know what it was.”

Haley winced, “No, I mean in the way Emmaline’s glowing, so are you.” I laughed then stopped. I stared at her in shock. Finally, I said, “Wait, what?!” Haley said, “We really should’ve gone to lunch. You had your getaway, you’re marked, and uhh glowing.”

My jaw hit the floor, “You’re saying I’m pregnant?!” Haley nodded, “With twins.” I shouted, “WHAT?!” I took my birth control out of my purse. I hit it on her dresser. I lamented, “I take these pills every damn day at the same goddamn time. How did this happen?”

Haley answered, “Well, I’m guessing a lot of sex.” Emmaline laughed, and I was really glad she wasn’t crying. But seriously?! Haley asked, “What? That’s totally the answer.” I groaned, “I don’t even know if Chase is ready. What if he’s not happy about this? TWINS? Are you sure?” Haley nodded, “Yes, I can sense two of them.” I pressed, “And you didn’t sense this the last time we hung out?” Haley said, “I would’ve told you. This is the first time I’ve seen you glowing. I thought you and Chase decided you were ready. You’ve been on birth control since I met you. You have options here, Lex.”

I waved my hand, “No, I mean I know I do, but I want them. It’s... it wasn’t my plan, but I want them. Oh god! I was drugged! Are they ok?” Haley smiled, “You’re going to be such a good mom.” Then she stiffened, “Exfuckingcuse me bitch! Drugged?! Did you drink the tea? I don’t sense anything wrong with them.” I nodded, “I drank the tea.” Haley said, “Then they are fine. I promise. Let’s go back to you were drugged?” I said, “The Troll….”

Haley groaned, “Of fucking course it’s his fault. The fucking Troll HAS to die.” I snickered, “It’s a long story that will have to wait until later because this massive news now occupies my brain space. What about Chase’s situation?” Haley’s face went into a hard line, “Don’t worry about the situation. I will fucking handle it. Don’t you stress out about it for even one second. Consider it handled. As of tomorrow, I don’t care what I have to do. His situation is out of fucking time.” I laughed, “I love you.”

The door burst open. Beta Dylan strode into the room, “BA and my partial fairies! I have found my fairy show. Did you say tomorrow for that super fun meeting I am attending? Did you change the date? Because I heard it was the second.” Haley nodded, “I did just now. It’s now tomorrow.” He squealed, “Oh that sparks joy for me. Hold on just letting a few people know.”

He held up his hand then put his phone away. He smiled, “My super fun sized fairy ninja goddess I need a book to learn Fealish. Our Luna has one and I want one too. I can’t understand those I can hear. Even the Queen who LOVES me is animatedly talking to other fairies, but I hear nothing. Why is it that I hear nothing?” Haley tilted her head.

Dylan smiled, “Little Luna of mine you have our wonderful Alpha in a panic. You should absolutely continue to pop away from him in Faerie. It doesn’t give me a splitting headache as he shouts at me through our link.”

Dylan looked at me and smiled. He explained, “He’s an overprotective Alpha male about his pregnant mate.” I looked at Haley who said, “My friend Dylan, you can’t hear them because I ordered them to talk in a way the wolves couldn’t hear them. It is a private matter.” I smiled at her. She’d told them all not to say anything about me glowing because Eric was learning Fealish. Her Hackura family knew it too.

Dylan said, “Color me intrigued. Ohhh candy! Whose is this? I only ask because it’s about to be mine. Dylan needs more snacks. I WAS NOT PREPARED for the epicness of New Year’s Eve in Faerie.” We all followed his finger. He was pointing to my package of birth control I’d left on the dresser.

I frowned, “That’s mine, but it's not...” Dylan laughed cutting me off, “Of course BA disguises her candy. I bet no one eats it this way. You just haven’t been around too many wolves. I mean definitely one wolf. Am I right?” My jaw dropped.

Dylan nodded, “I’m right. Come on, tell Beta Dylan. I love being right. He’s all tan and growly. You were going on a getaway, and he was extra sensitive about things.” I gaped at him. He knew about me and Chase too?! Dylan popped one of my pills out and ate it. He complimented me, “M&M’s, nice! This is a brilliant disguise. Are your tampon applicators something too? A snickers bar? OH MY GOD! That would be hilarious like someone’s being cranky and you hand them a tampon applicator and say eat this. This could be a business. Hidden snacks so no one steals your stash. Let’s go into business together BA. Alpha Chase loves me. All the Alpha’s do. God Alpha Prick’s love is just buried down deep. I’m a diggin’ though. Don’t you worry.”

I couldn’t hold it in. I yelled, “M&M’s?! OH MY GOD!” Haley’s eyes blazed gold. I popped a pill out and ate it. I turned to her shocked. I whispered shouted, “Oh my god, he’s right! This is candy!” Dylan looked at the package and then me. His eyes went wide, “NOOOOO!!!!!”

Then Dylan squealed, “YESSSS!!!!! You’re pregnant! That’s what Faerie is in a tizzy about. WITH ALPHA SKYWALKER CHASE’S PUP! SOMEONE TELL ME I’M RIGHT ABOUT THE TAN CRANKY ALPHA!!” Haley cautioned, “Dylan…”

Dylan looked at me, “Bring it home for me, BA. It’s Alpha Chase, right? Everyone will feel better. Say it with me Dylan, you brilliant genius you’re right. I know I’m right. I CAN FEEL IT! GOD BEST NEW YEARS EVE EVER!” I was certain I was going to start crying, but I tried to reign it in.

He reiterated, “He’s all tan. You were all I’m going on a getaway. I went all Yoda and said to him find the party planner, you must! Listen to Dylan you must. Someone finally listened to me.” He paused, “Oh my god. Someone listened to me. I find…. It’s oddly unsettling.” I burst into tears.

Haley rubbed her temples, “Hood members are really hormonal when they are pregnant, Dylan. You have to be a little bit more emotionally stable.” Dylan pleaded, “Please don’t cry BA! When my Luna cries, she turns to water sometimes. Please don’t do that to me here or ever but particularly here. Alpha Chase will be so happy. Well... yes… happy. Mostly. I’m just going to prepare for... oh god. I don’t even know. The lash out at the meeting on the second….”

Haley interrupted, “Tomorrow. I moved it.” Dylan squealed, “SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! This is going to be phenomenal. I need to have a pallet of Fang’s popcorn delivered to God Alpha Prick’s. For future reference he’s GAP. We have to abbreviate it sometimes. It’s a mouthful but that’s just GAP for ya.”

He took out his phone to make sure that happened, I’m sure. I cried harder, “What if he’s upset?” Haley rubbed my back, “Chase will be happy or I’ll kick his fucking ass.” I whispered, “It wasn’t on purpose….” I trailed off then yelled, “OH MY GOD! IT WAS THE TROLL!” Haley asked, “The fucking troll did what now?”

I looked over and Dylan was munching on popcorn. Where did he get it? His eyes were volleying back and forth between us as if we were his personal reality show. I explained, “He tampered with my birth control.” Dylan screeched, “WHAT? Oh my god. That Noah guy we are to bring to Alpha Chase if we find him? Or GAP? This is the BEST SHOW OF ALL TIME!” Haley raised her index finger, “His name is the fucking Troll.”

Dylan cackled, “Alpha Chase is going to want to kill someone while wanting to give them a big sloppy kiss. He won’t know which emotion to pick. Alphas are bad at that, BA. It’s best you learn that now. This is the BEST DAY EVER!” Haley raised an eyebrow, “You can’t tell anyone who she is Dylan.”

Dylan snorted, “Please. I’d figured it out before I was officially told. I put all the pieces together. I am all the Alpha’s Yoda, and the resident fairy expert. No one is acknowledging my zombie expert title yet, but I’m just waiting for that to come through. Does Alpha Chase even know you’re BA? Alpha’s are dense. Don’t blame him if he hasn’t put it all together.” I shrugged, “He unofficially knows.” Dylan laughed, “Then Beta Matt put it together for him. Alpha Chase SO has to join our guy gang.”
