Lindsey caught him when his knees buckled. He insisted, “I was JOKING!” Uncle Aiden said, “Well, I was not.” I asked, “What the fuck is going on?” My mom explained, “There was a group of your Grandpa Fenilton’s family that did not side with the Holloran’s when we rose up against the previous family.”
Mom had met Uncle Aiden’s dad in the Beyond and he requested to be called our Grandpa. She agreed so that’s what we call him. I wished we could’ve met him when he was alive because he sounded awesome.
She sighed, “There was a Hayes mated to one of their earth family members. Her name was Lark, and that necklace was given to signify the Hayes and the earth family’s lines. Thewoman who went against the Hayes’ and your Grandpa Fenilton was named Lark.”
I asked, “What the fuck were they doing with the Lark we found then?” Uncle Aiden answered, “They were going to have her father killed and have her moved back to their facilities more than likely. Based on some research I read, they were toying with what a child with love versus not could do.” My mom’s walls clamped down further.
She said, “Don’t worry Tenn, we will make sure nothing happens to Lark.” Uncle Aiden said, “I will destroy this necklace to send them a message she’s ours now.” He asked, “Who the fuck are these people?” Lindsey assured him, “We will protect Lark. I know that Fairy family is truly awful on all levels, but we will protect her.” She’d see her as her own pup now.
He asked, “And what are you? Do you melt things too like little Lark?” She snorted, “No, I’m a Werewolf.” He nodded, “Sure, why not. Fairies and Werewolves.” I said, “You were being forced to work with Warlocks.” Several people groaned.
My mom yelled, “ARE YOU SERIOUS?! WARLOCK WARTS?! MOTHER FUCKER!” Uncle Bjourn said, “Don’t you dare leave, little one. We will DISCUSS this, and those Warlocks are already in our custody.” Or they would be shortly. They were definitely being watched.
I asked, “Why haven’t you popped to the people who betrayed Grandpa Fen if you knew they did?” My mom answered, “We haven’t been able to, but you and your siblings have always been an exception to that.” I knew she was proud of us for that, but it worried her.
We’d been met with resistance a few times. Others we’d been able to get close by, but not all the way through. Uncle Aiden snorted, “And I mistakenly assumed they would not be out there having kids with humans.” Lindsey was rubbing her hand up and down Tenn’s back.
He said, “It was an Oops. Nothing quite nefarious like you seem to think.” Uncle Aiden snorted, “And how long was your one night stand?” He winced, “It was more than a night, she was crazy.” I laughed, “Wait until Faerie hears a human lasted through her concupiscence.” He snorted, “She used toys when I needed to sleep.” Still, it was impressive.
Lindsey growled, “I want her dead for trying to kill my mate and take ou…” She trailed off then said, “his daughter.” I linked her, “I actually don’t think he’d mind if you called her yours.” She said, “Well, we tend to take things much slower with human mates than this.” I reasoned, “He’s got a partial Fairy daughter so the rules probably don’t apply to him anymore.” His daughter was even from a very powerful and Royal family line. Two technically.
He said, “Gosh, I’m just falling all over this beautiful woman.” He straightened. She said, “You’re my mate. I know that probably doesn’t make sense to you, but it’s everything to me.” He snorted, “Things have not made sense to me for five years and change. My daughter was a preemie.”
He paused then admitted, “Well in my mind she is, but the doctors said she was fully developed. I argued with them something fierce about it too. I could tell they thought I was a sap until the DNA test came back that she was mine. They were stunned.”
He snorted, “Then things started to melt around my little girl if she got too mad. Plus, she made her bottles appear to her if I took too long. She smirked at me as she did it too. She did that for about two weeks and I’m certain it was a game.” It definitely was.
He added, “I think she thought it was funny how I jolted awake when she cried. I also never changed a poopy diaper. She did NOT like poop touching her skin. At first, I wasworried she wasn’t pooping. The doctors again thought I was a wackadoodle.”
My mom asked, “They hit you?” He snorted, “No, they thought I was insane.” My mom shot my dad a look and he just grinned. Tenn waved, “Anyway, I’ll have to tell my mom I’ve got Lark back. I thought for sure I was going to die.”
Lindsey growled. He chuckled, “Damn. You really a wolf. Alright. Anyway, I didn’t want to do what those people asked me to. I have no idea what they were doing, I just wanted my little girl back. They got her signed out of her school when I was at work. I would’ve died before I let anyone take her from me.”
Lindsey assured him, “No one here doubts you. Haley is our Luna and Eric is our Alpha. The two boys that brought you here are our future Alpha’s.” He snorted, “You’re saying they are teleporting Werewolves?”
I let my eyes blaze, “And we are Hackura.” He said, “I have not heard of that one.” Uncle Bjourn replied, “And you wouldn’t have if you weren’t brought into the supernatural world.” He chuckled, “And let me guess, you’re the King of the hack….” He trailed off then waved at me, “Whatever he said.”
Uncle Bjourn answered, “I am.” He snorted, “You’re shitting me.” I bit my lip knowing my mom was about to say something. I felt amusement all around the bond. Mom asked, “What the fuck? You want him to shit on you?”
Tenn groaned, “No, absolutely not. I was just shocked.” She grumbled, “This fucking realm and its damn sayings.” Uncle Aiden said, “I would like to meet Lark.” Tenn asked suspiciously, “Why?”
Uncle Aiden assured him, “I would not hurt her. She’s a child and she’s my family. Fairies do well around their family, and I would like her to meet hers. She’s from the Royal Fire line in my realm.”
He asked, “My Daughter is Royal?” He answered, “Yes, she is a cousin of mine.” He pressed, “A Princess went rogue in your realm?” Oden snickered. My mom said, “Rogues are Werewolves not Fairies.” Tenn rubbed his temples clearly trying to adjust to my mom being extremely literal.
Uncle Aiden explained, “Your daughter is Royal among Fire Fairies but her family line is not considered the rules. Her mother was not a Princess. We do not view cousins as they do in this realm. Any child of a cousin is just a cousin to us. It was my dad’s cousin that went with the former ruler family instead of the Holloran’s.”
Tenn asked, “Is that family like Voldemort and you all don’t say their name?” Oh no. My mom yelled, “DID YOU JUST COMPARE US TO THE WITCH BITCHES AND WARLOCK WARTS?!” My dad grabbed her around the waist.
He said, “Tenn has no idea how you feel about Witches and Warlocks.” Tenn said, “I’m on her side with that since I was clearly working for the Death Eater type versions.” Lyndsey purred, “You likeHarry Potter.” He laughed, “I am a very big fan.” So was she.
My mom was slightly mollified by his comments, but I could tell she did not care for the comparison. Uncle Aiden said, “I understand the comparison, but we don’t say their name for different reasons. We do not fear them by any means. My sister and I are the promised siblings, they could not take power from our line. We do not say their name because of the devastation they brought to our realm for centuries. They hurt many people and that hurt still echoes among the remaining generations.”
Tenn nodded. He agreed, “You can meet Lark. I’m sure she’d like you. Is my daughter going to get wings or some shit?” My mom let hers come out and flew into the air with my dad since he was still holding onto her.
Tenn said, “So, yes.” Uncle Aiden laughed, “Not necessarily. Hers would look something more like mine if she did get them.” His came out and EJ and I grinned at each other. Tenn gasped, “Holy shit. His wings are fire. Do you see that?” He asked Lindsey.
She admitted, “I’ve seen them quite a bit actually. It continues to be impressive every single time you see it.” He whistled, “I’ll be.” Uncle Aiden commented, “You are a very understanding human.” He shrugged, “Like I said, I always liked the fantasy type books and worlds. I like them better than ours because it makes life more fun.” Uncle Aiden chuckled.
