Page 125 of The Alpha and His Childhood Sweetheart

My mom walked into the room with her hands on her hips. She answered my sister, “Your father losing his goddamn mind that’s what you missed. Eric….” My dad growled interrupting her, “NOT HIS SON! Not a fucking Fairy! NO!”

My mom reasoned, “Eric, you know Klaus won’t hurt her. He wasn’t raised the way Fairies have been in the past. Fegle has never hurt Julianna. It’s not like Angela is moving realms anytime soon either. She’s only ten and Klaus is thirteen. We will just get them together like we did EJ and Elise. You’ll get to know him.”

My dad growled, “HIS FATHER TRIED TO FUCK YOU!” My mom rolled her eyes, “One time, and he didn’t fuck me. That feels like an important note. Plus, if we are getting mad about people fucking our spouse being mated into the family I feel I am ILL prepared to be made about our children’s mates. You fucked a lot people. Which, for the record, does not upset me at all. As long as our children are mated to people who love them, I’m fucking happy if they are.”

Thor took over, “HE TRIED TO AT OUR WEDDING RECEPTION!” My mom counted out loud, “One, Two, Three, Four.” She blew out a breath then pointed a finger at him, “Do you know how many people STILL try to fuck you?” He blinked at her. She insisted, “Do you? Because it’s A REALLY FUCKING HIGH NUMBER! I’m up to the ceiling in crazy ass she wolves. Farrin is happily mated. He didn’t even like me as a person until well after our reception. He was never cruel to me when I was a child, nor did he hurt me. Can we just take a fucking minute to calm the fuck down?”

My parents stood, staring at each other. My Grandpa Titus spoke, “If he harms one hair on my granddaughter’s head, he is a dead man.” My mom put her head into her hands saying, “That is true for ALL your grandchildren and ALL their fucking mates. Can we all please pull our heads out of our asses right now?” No one answered her.

She sternly said, “This is about Angela, and she is happy about this. You can all feel how excited she is. I understand the fear and trepidation in this room and it’s because of me. I get that but I will NOT allow ANY of my children to suffer because of the things that happened to me. Angela will not be punished for what happened to me as a child. By me or anyone else.”

She pointed at herself, “My fears are MINE. Not hers or any of my other kids. Aiden is not the same person he was back then. He is King and he ADORES Angela. He would not let that happen to her. Trixie raised her fucking children like a bad ass. They are respectful, kind, and do not harm innocent people. She has taught them to love their mates.”

She then nearly snarled “And FUCK each and every single goddamn one of you for making me say this next sentence.” Brutus chuckled, “That was a good snarl.” She had been living with Werewolves for quite some time now.

My mom took another deep breath, and I nearly laughed because I could tell she really didn’t want to say whatever she was going to say. She rolled her eyes, “Farrin has shown his kids how to be a real mate. He leads by example with Trixie. He loves and respects her. He has not been with another person since they met because it’s what Trixie wanted. That’s respect.”

“That’s not what he was taught. He does it FOR HER! He’s a good man and dad. Will you all calm down so I can stop listing off nice fucking things about Farrin?! FARRIN FOR CHRIST’S SAKE! You know I hate it when you do this shit.”

Farrin laughed, “I knew you liked me, Princess.” My mom glared at him. She turned to the room, “Do you see what you have done? Now, he’s going to talk about that forfuckingever.” Trixie giggled. My dad hugged my mom, “I have no problem with the Trixie part of this situation. It’s him.” My dad pointed at Farrin.

Alexander linked me, “Did you know that Farrin tried to take mom at their wedding to have sex with her?” I replied, “I don’t think I did know that.” It meant Farrin was someone like those men who tried to attack Elise because they ‘couldn’t help it.’

Brutus linked, “I do know that he was taught he couldn’t control it. He clearly used what happened then and chose to be a better person.” I asked, “Whose side are you on right now?” He answered, “Snow’s.” That was Angela’s wolf.

He explained, “She’s very happy and a little sad that we might not let them be together.” I argued, “I’d never keep her apart from her mate, that’s cruel.” He advised, “Then this meeting is pointless.” Damn it. He was right. I shouldn’t need him or my mom to tell me that. I reasoned, “We didn’t growl.” He chuckled, “I know.”

Cassie put her hands on her hips, “I think we learned it’s better for us all to know when mates meet. They didn’t try to sneak around. Angela could’ve popped to him without usknowing. She could’ve been going between realms with only TJ knowing. Instead, she included us all. Let’s remember that.”

My dad yanked Cassie into a hug and she kissed his cheek. She whispered, “I love you, daddy.” He replied, “I love you too, Princess.” She popped to Grandpa and kissed his cheek. She smoothed her skirt and said, “Now, I’ll leave mom to straighten you all out. I’m going to meet this mate of my little sister’s.” Cassie turned to leave.

Then I felt mischief in our connection. Cassie casually added, “I think you guys are worried about the wrong thing here. Angela is mischievous on her own and I’ve heard the same comments said about Klaus. Just THINK of the trouble those two will get into.” My jaw dropped. I linked Alexander, “Fuck us all with that parting line.” Alexander winced, “I already hate it.” Cassie winked at me and popped out.

My mom snorted when my dad growled because Dylan Frost burst into the room. He turned around and said, “Do you see now, Lucas? You show up late to the Conners functions and you miss the sky falling! I MISSED MY MOMENT! Angela has a mate. A FAIRY MATE AND WE MISSED IT LUCAS! SOMEONE tell me it was on camera. If this was not recorded, I SHAME you all. Former Beta Caleb buddy old pal of mine, I see you hiding over there in the corner, tell me all the details.”

Before Caleb could say anything Dylan powered on, “Was it filmed? Did my goddess have to bring Saint God Alpha Prick back from the brink of death after he had an aneurysm? Because in my head, that is one hundred percent how this went down. Has anyone checked to make sure he didn’t pop a blood vessel? Is he having a heart attack? CALL EVERYONE! We must save our Saint God Alpha Prick!”

My mom raised an eyebrow, “Eric is physically fine.” Dylan clucked his tongue. He sighed, “No, that won’t do. The memo needs to say something about bursting a blood vessel. Come onSaint God Alpha Prick, do it for all of us in the memo verse. Your goddess will heal you right up.”

My dad growled, “Dylan, there have been fewer times in your life that is has been exceptionally dangerous to be you in my presence. You sent me a memo SECONDS before he popped in. You knew and waited this ENTIRE time. Don’t you fuck with me.” Dylan said, “My next statement is clearly not related to that implied threat in any way shape or form. Toodles everyone!” He ran out of the room.

My mom hugged my dad. She told him, “She will not have the life I did. We raised her to be strong and capable. She would not take that type of shit from anyone. She would tell us, or her siblings. Especially TJ. Our son has never kept anything that could hurt her a secret. Hell, we’d have to join him in a killing spree. We know he’d be too mad for us to control.”

She turned to glare at my Fairy Uncle. She demanded, “Aiden, say any fucking words.” Uncle Aiden laughed, “I don’t know that your husband will listen to my words on this topic.” My mom glared at him until Uncle Aiden popped over and kissed her on the head.

He turned to my dad, “You have my word that no harm will come to Angela through Klaus. Anyone who tries to harm any of my nieces or my nephews will be met with my full wrath. We are growing and changing as a people, and I will not tolerate that.”

My dad studied him, “You don’t think Alania set up some shit for the two of them? She could have those still loyal to her in Faerie. They could just waiting for Angela to be alone there. We have stopped more attempts than I can count together. She is highly sought after.”

Uncle Aiden acknowledged, “That is true, but no Fairy in their right mind would be working for my mother at this point. We would find out, and when we did there’s no one to protect them. As my sister said, Angela is not moving tomorrow. TheFairy Goddess in all her wisdom,” I could literally feel my mom’s eye roll in her emotions.

Uncle Aiden continued, “allowed us to know this pairing well in advance of her moving to us. We have years to prepare. Her Hackura guard will of course be welcomed. They can go in and out as they please.”

Grandpa Titus declared, “There will be eight guards on her at all times in the shadows if she is in your realm. I will make the additional assignments today.” My mom bit her lip but it was her only show of emotion. Her walls had slowly come up in the bond. I glanced at Alexander wondering if he had more insight. He wasn’t looking at me though, because he was focused on our mom. It was technically my Uncle Bjourn’s call as King, but the bond told me he agreed with Grandpa.

My dad backed down, “I’ll somewhat calm down about this then.” My mom said nothing for several moments, then spoke, “Fine. Whatever. If that will make you all calm the fuck down, and you won’t ruin this moment for Angela, agreed. I also don’t want TJ to have to calm you down. That’s not fucking fair to him.” I felt how chastised those statements made everyone in my bonds feel.

My mom warned, “Later, we WILL have a chat about trying to ruin my baby girl’s first moment with her mate. Don’t think ANY of you are getting away with that fucking shit. She can feel each and every one of you, and you let your own feelings get in the way of a huge moment for her.”
