Page 15 of The Married Alpha And His Arrow: Vol 2

I snuck away to go snack on food in the kitchen. When I turned Sally and Ted were standing there. I sighed, “Hi guys.” Ted questioned, “Are you ok?” I burst into tears, “I didn’t know it was her birthday. I’m finally getting a big family and I’m fucking it up.” Ted hugged me, “No you aren’t. I will never question our War Goddess because you, Sally, and me are together forever. You aren't fucking up. Susie isn’t even upset.” I cried, “I missed her birthday.”

Sally reasoned, “We all missed her birthday. No one told us either.” I said, “She’s basically my sister. I mean… I hope one day she will be.” Both chuckled. Ted teased, “Are you trying to beat me down the aisle?” I snorted, “Before Valentine’s Day? Are you serious? No.”

Sally smiled, “So, I am actually going to beat Ted down the aisle. We aren’t making a big deal about it but I’m marrying Derrick January fifth. He says it's called a mating ceremony. Whatever it is, we are getting married. You both have to be there.” I laughed, “I’ll be there. Ted squealed, “Me too. By the way I picked both of your women of honor dresses. You’re wearing red. Both your wolves will ADORE the dress I picked. You’re welcome.” I laughed, “I have no doubt.”

The next few days passed quickly. I’d ordered Susie an embarrassing number of presents that made me feel better about missing her damn birthday. They would be here tomorrow. When Chase left to get to work. I tried to get up, I really did. I was supposed to have lunch with Haley, but when I managed to, I swayed on my feet. GOD! I was going to have to talk to Haley about this charm on drugs. I texted Haley.

Me:I’m so sorry but I have to cancel lunch. I’m so tired.

Haley:Are you ok? I can come heal you, or just keep you company.

Me:No, I’m ok. Just going to rest up so we can ring in the New Year epically.

Haley:Why do people say ring in the New Year? The Conners have been saying that for days. It makes no goddamn sense. Wouldn’t it be partying the New Year in? I mean normally we murder in the New Year. I’ve never rang anything at midnight on New Year’s.

Me:LOL I love you. Yes, you’re right. We will party in the New year.

Haley:I love you too. I conjured your dress in your closet. Ball gowns are required so I don’t even feel bad that I got you one. It’s black, don’t you worry and slightly slutty. Your man lover friend will thank me.

Me:Thank you and thanks for understanding about lunch.

Haley:It’s not a big deal. I’m conjuring you tea from Faerie. It has healing properties.

Me:You are too much. Thank you!

Haley:If you need me, text. I’ll come heal you.

Me:If you could heal me I’d have you do it. I’m just tired.

Haley:Alright. Are you coming as BA or Lexi to NYE? Google says that’s the abbreviation.

Me:Google is right. My man lover friend can’t come with me so, BA. We need to talk about him when I get there though. I was going to tell you about him today.

Haley:FUCK the universe for making you not feel well today. We can talk when you get here. Aiden said BA has to be brought by Exsis since he’s your fairy liaison. It’s fucking ridiculous.

Me:It’s fine. Just let me know when he will be here.

Haley:Alright. Get some sleep! Lord knows I don’t get enough.

Me:LOL At least you have an excuse you have little ones.

Haley:They are not why I don’t get any sleep. They sleep all the damn time.

I laughed out loud then saw the thermos of tea beside me. Haley was just that good. I sipped on it. I texted Ted.

Me:I’m so sorry, but I can’t come in today. I’m just wiped out.

Ted:Do you need me to tell Haley? I can handle the office today. It’s not a problem.

Me:I told her. Thank you though.

I tried to stand up to go tell Kincade and Kevin I was staying in, but it wasn’t in the cards. I felt bad for Kincade because Carry would be in the office today. I texted him.

Me:I’m so sorry, but I’m exhausted. I’m just going to stay home today.

Kincade:There’s no need to be sorry. Do you want me to get Alpha Chase?

Me:NO! I’m just tired. I’m sorry you won’t get to see Carry today.
