EJ defended us even more harshly than before. Rhea sighed dreamily this time, “We are tapping that, girl.” I argued, “It’s Angela’s birthday.” Rhea scoffed, “Quickies are a thing. We NEED some of that tall, beautiful mountain that is WOWZERS endowed. He’s too hot and I need to calm down. You didn’t let me kill the awful she bitch. I need WOWZERS.” I smirked.

Rhea added, “I know you do too. Come on, listen to your wolf. Come on, Elise.” I agreed, “Fine. A quickie.” Rhea cheered, “YES! Best human half ever.” I couldn’t help but smile. EJ kept trying to reiterate they would meet their mates.

Rhea snorted, “Unless we kill a bitch. That’s always an option.” I acknowledged, “One day, you might get that wish.” Rhea cheered, “YES! I’m holding you to that. One day oneof them will be SO awful we are going to snap SO HARD!” Probably.

I understood why Haley went straight to the nuclear option with the crazy women who wanted Eric. She got challenged a lot by she wolves still to this day. I don’t think if I was her age I could deal with it anymore. She’d kicked more she wolves’ asses than I had at this point.

Rhea added, “She killed some of them too. I’m just saying.” She had done that. I’d seven seen her do it. The last Summit was eventful, but she didn’t kill the she wolf there. She did embarrass the hell out of a woman who had long since deserved it though.

We were trying to have a mother in law daughter/son in law brunch. Haley had found that google said such things that were important. She did not care for someone trying to interrupted her time Google told her was vital. The result was pretty comical and I couldn’t help but recall the moment in my mind.

Flashback

Elise walked quickly into the hotel restaurant for brunch. I was determined not to be late. EJ did not have the same mindset about me being late for brunch with his mom, my sisters in law, and brothers in law and distracted me with his sexy god like self. Haley found out via Google it was important to bond all together. She’d always had monthly brunches with us and this one just happened to coincide with the summit. I made it inside just as everyone else did.

I linked EJ, “HA! You tried to make me late but I’m on time.” EJ replied, “I wasn’t trying to make you late. I was trying to enjoy my wife. Not to brag but enjoy I did. I know you did too.” I blushed. He was right. His family wouldn’t have cared if I was late. Sex was not a taboo topic with them, it was natural.

I glanced around noting everyone was here except Cassie’s mate, though here was a place for him so he must be coming.I turned to Micah asking, “Where’s Cassie’s mate?” Micah answered, “A certain someone walked into his office as I was leaving thirty minutes ago. I’d imagine that’s where he is.”

I grinned loving how cute, mated couples were. I was very happy for them. I was happy for all my in-laws. We all got along, and we had an amazing mother in law. We actually had an awesome father in law too. Honestly, the whole family was great.

Rhea interrupted my thoughts, “Now that Cassandra is gone.” I felt guilty about that thought because Rhea was right. Cassandra was the obnoxious one in the family. I felt EJ’s curiosity spike over the guilt I felt. Rhea snorted, “She wasn’t obnoxious. She was a rude bitch. It’s ok to admit that. She didn’t like our mate’s Fairy side and for that, I don’t and won’t ever forgive her.”

She purred, “EJ and Brutus are perfect and she sucked. I hope she’s enjoying whatever version of hell she’s in with my old human.” I asked, “Are you ever going to tell me who your old human was?” Rhea just snickered in reply. I knew she didn’t get along with the woman before me. I guess they argued a lot. Rhea retorted, “Understatement.” I laughed internally at my wolf.

Haley called everyone’s attention, “Thank you guys for all coming. I know not everyone here is attending all of the summit. I also know you guys do this because it’s important to me and I really do cherish this time we get to spend together.”

“I fucking love seeing all of you guys and seeing you all get along. It’s the big family I’ve always wanted, and I sincerely thank Aesir for each and every one of you, who fit into our family so damn perfectly.” She raised her cranmosa to us.

I was about to toast her when Julie Reager walked in. She was the sister of an Alpha that lived in Alabama with a seriously inflated ego. Buttercup linked me, “Ugh. Does that woman just have lojack on Haley? I swear she just wants Haley to kill her.” The room tensed. It was mostly she wolves in here.

Naturally. Julie always made sure to attack Haley with her words when no male wolves were around. I was curious if she was going to say something in front of Micah. She never had before. Micah was already looking around, wondering what the tension was.

Haley muttered, “Of fucking course. Can’t I just have a nice brunch with my kids mates. Is that too damn much to ask for?” Micah’s attention shot to Haley, his eyes were clearly questioning what was happening.

Micah linked me, “What’s about to happen?” I evaded, “Is Blade here?” Micah’s eyes flickered to the corner. I looked back but didn’t see anything. Micah answered, “Yes, he is.” I replied, “Then Julie Reager might die. She’s really rude to Haley; she just usually has better timing. She frequently corners Haley in the bathroom, where Blade doesn’t go. I guess she’s gotten away with this act for so long now she’s brazen.” Micah gasped, “Excuse me?”

I didn’t get to answer before Julie floated up to our table. I sighed over this already. Julie sneered, “Haley.” Micah stood immediately with golden eyes. Rhea growled, “Let me at her.” I might. He corrected, “That’s Princess Luna Haley to you.”

Julie asked, “Ah, you must be the Hackura mate.” Micah answered, “One of them, and you will not disrespect my mother in law and Princess in my presence.” Julie rolled her eyes at him. Haley raised an eyebrow and said, “Julie, insult me all you want. Do not make the mistake of insulting my children’s mates. What are you doing over here? I don’t recall infuckingviting you to our table.”

Julie said, “I just wanted to tell you I’m disappointed to see you here yet again this year.” Haley snorted, “If only I gave a shit about what you thought, that might matter to me, but it really doesn’t. Run along now so my family can get back to brunch.”

Julie sighed, “How many of us have to tell you? You’re not good enough for Alpha Eric. Just leave. No one wants you here.” Blade appeared beside Haley sword drawn. Micah had a dagger in his hand. Rhea linked, “It’s about to go down.”

I linked EJ warning, “So, there’s a slight problem.” EJ replied, “At brunch? How is that possible?” I snorted, “Crazy she wolves who want your dad.” EJ was stunned, “You have got to be kidding me.” I assured him, “I’m really not.”

Haley held up her hand indicating for Blade and Micah to back down. She snapped her fingers and a mason jar filled to the brim containing a cranmosa appeared in her hands. She slammed it and stood. She cracked her neck by tilting it from side to side. Rhea squealed, “IT IS ON!” I bit my lip.

Haley sighed, “Julie, Julie, Julie. I see you’ve decided to bring your comments into a public fucking space. Not that every female here didn’t know about the shit you say, but now the males will hear about this. I knew you’d fuck up spectacularly eventually. How fortunate for me you did so in front of all these witnesses.” Uh oh.

Julie snorted, “They agree with me.” Lexi Scott yelled, “No, we don’t.” Julie sneered, “The she wolves do.” My mom argued, “Yeah, neither do we. It’s just the crazy few.” Sam agreed, “It really is and we are sick of you all making us she wolves look bad.” I raised by glass to them.

I linked my mom, “GOOO MOM!” She laughed in reply. Julie looked around the dining room but no one met her eye. She scoffed, “Well, I guess these people won’t say it to your face, but they say it behind your back.” Haley asked, “And how is it that you think you’re so much fucking better than me?”

Julie curled her fist and launched it at my mother in law. I stood in shock, but Haley caught her fist and slammed her own into Julie’s face. Julie screamed bloody murder. Haley rolled hereyes. Julie shifted right as a portal opened and Cassie’s mate walked through.

He apologized, “Sorry I’m late I…” He trailed off and yelled, “What the fuck?!” Blade answered, “Is crazy she wolf… again.” Cassie’s mate started laughing. Haley was taking on Julie and winning easily. Everyone gave them a wide berth.
