Dylan said, “No, I’m not going to die. You keep that just in case.” I frowned saying, “I dislike when you are serious.” Dylan replied, “That makes two of us. Being serious is so NOT my forte and all fear and dislike serious Dylan.”
I told him, “My friends are bringing back more. I have three emergency doses in the watches. Just let me give it to you. I’m not giving you the adrenaline spike one… but this one will bring your wolf back through. Fang can help you heal. Not at full strength, but enough for you to wait for Haley and Xander to heal you.”
Emma groaned, “Just give it to him. By the way, that stuff does hurt. On the super cool side I literally am feeling the poison leave my system is quite interesting.” That’s not the word I’d use but to each their own. Freya snickered, “Her wolf is quite grateful.” Well… I wasn’t going to let Emma die.
I quickly dosed the former Beta of Blue Moon with the serum. Dylan teased, “I’ve been betrayed. It cuts so deep. My noble sacrifice is ignored. Someone tell LGSAP I kept the connection open too long. I’m talking crazy over here. I was worried that someone else would take a hit. Finn-y Finn Finn is so worried. My poor son.”
I told him, “Finn is fine… no one can get through Jayden’s water vortex… even if they tried… they can’t even swim through it.” Dylan asked, “Excuse me? What? Say more. It’s making me feel better.” I explained, “Uhh Jacob is with him, and he’d have fortified it… so… yeah. …but even without Jacob it wouldn’t work… do you not know that?”
Dylan squealed, “NO! Emma, do you feel better? Because I’m feeling spry myself.” Emma answered, “I do. I also like all those words.” I told them, “Sure… you guys will be ok.” Emma said, “You’re right it hurts, but this stuff is amazing. How freaking smart are you?”
Dylan laughed, “MelAshley is a genius who would have to lose over twenty I.Q. points to be considered smart, daughter in law of mine. I’d have recruited her for the Resistance too if I was in charge.”
Freya snickered. Dylan cooed, “Speaking of, who did recruit you? I find I want to sic LSGAP and Mini Moody SGAP on them. You should’ve been on our team the whole time. I could’ve watched these developments occur.”
“In fact, I would’ve found a way to be your besties Beta friend so I knew first. Imagine how Drake’s eye would’ve twitched when I told him something you developed that he didn’t know about. It twitches now, but I don’t get to lord it over him that I knew.”
“I was denied the ground floor view of these breaking developments. I could’ve had the go go gadget does everything watch. I’m just going to have to deploy my windup toys for thatfact. It’s only fair and I have a lot of people that will back me up.” Not when they found out I started it.
I admitted, “I have a watch for you.” Dylan smirked, “See? I MUST have revenge for not having this amazing watch. Quick question because I have noticed, as I do, that your friends can shift with the watch on and they don’t lose it. How does that work?”
I answered, “Well… that was tricky to figure out but… it wouldn’t be helpful if they lost it. I worked it out so that they don’t lose them. I’ve tried with clothes, but for some reason that’s harder to nail down. Clothes rip so dang easily when the shift occurs… I haven't discovered how to stop that yet. The material in the watch is harder to shred so…”
Dylan coughed, “I’ve GOT to get you to sign the adoption papers. We MUST be related MelAshley.” I laughed, “That would hurt my dad’s feelings… and I can’t do that… I can’t be normal around him… which already hurts his feelings… it’s a whole thing.”
“Honestly… I actually thought you’d want Emma and Finn’s future pup to be mated with Xander and my future pups. Or Hank when he meets his mate… probably both…. since Buttercup isn’t an option since… we are related through marriage.”
Dylan smirked, “Ohh have no fear, MelAshley. I’ve already told the goddesses and deities that be they owe me that.” I laughed until my watch beeped. Dylan squeaked excitedly, “OHHH what does the go go gadget watch say now?” I looked at it and my heart stopped.
A picture of Everly and her wolf flashed on the screen. Emma gasped. I cringed and muttered, “They have backup somewhere… telling them who my family is.” My mom’s wolf and her picture flashed too. No! Not Sugar… just no. I couldn’t lose them.
Dylan said, “Hey, calm that breathing down. In and out. LSGAP is your relative, nothing will happen to anyone here. He’s fully activated because I got this gash. I may have to tell the healing Fairies to let me have the scar so his eye twitches when he sees it. Chicks dig scars too, so Lacy will love it.
I disagreed, “Lacy got knocked out of the dome… so no she wouldn’t like the scar… and she’s over there pacing… she did half shift to rip out a Werebengals throat though so…that happened.” Dylan interrupted, “I know. It was hot. I’m getting spanked and tied up for this. I can feel it.”
I said, “I have to go… because of that alert… but thank you… for stopping my panic attack… that was nice.” Dylan said, “All in a day’s work, MelAshley. Don’t let us keep you. Run like the wind. Do yourself a favor and try to keep the blood off your fur.”
I asked, “Huh?” Dylan explained, “It stands to reason that eventually the magic that keeps it white will run out and you’ll be a pink wolf. A shimmering pink wolf. I’m actually looking forward to that day. I have a memo drafted and everything.”
Freya laughed in my head saying, “That’s never happening.” I knew that. I sighed and admitted, “I’m not shifting.” Dylan argued, “Booo! That’s silly. The bad people already know who you are. We all might as well see what happens when your mate uses his pushing power and you electrocute them, little Pikachu.”
Emma and I both looked at him with a confused face. Dylan snorted, “What? I cannot POSSIBLY be the only one who wants to see that. Will they disintegrate? Will they just rise off the earth and vaporize? I must know because my Beta brain has questions.”
I snorted and handed him my knife. I told him, “Obviously the throat is the goal, but the weaker spots on a Bengal are their eyes and nose. Go for their paws if they try to swipe. Avoid their claws… that’s what’s got the poison.”
With that warning issued to them, I took off running for Everly. I linked my dad, “They know what mom looks like in wolf form.” Dad snarled. I linked Dalton, “They know what my mom and Everly look like in wolf form. They are going after them.” Dalton growled, “I’ve ordered Warriors on your mom. FUCK!”
I easily spotted what had him cursing. Everly had been successfully separated from the group. Dylan linked, “Do remain flashy fast. No one wants to see Mini Moody SGAP if you get hurt. I myself will have to be serious and angry about you being injured.”
“It’s a headache no one needs really. I’ve already been serious today and have reached my quota. No one like serious Dylan. It weirds them all out. My jokes will NOT be received if I decide to shed serious Dylan and be playful.”
“People all growl ‘DYLAN’ when secretly they mean try harder to make my lips twitch. It’s so hard to be me sometimes. It’s a heavy burden I bear, but someone must do it.” I replied, “I have zero plans to get hurt.” I planned to unleash the lid on the box of my rage.
I was about to reach my sister in law when I noticed the Werebengals going to cut her. If she let him cut her… she’d be on the ground in pain. I linked her, “Their claws are poisoned.” Everly growled at the leader.
A dome surrounded her less than ten seconds before I reached her. I felt a hand grab mine and looked over, surprised as Egres and I ran through the bubble with me. Egres smiled, “Possem facere cogitavi, si haberem manum in te (I thought that might work if I had a hand on you).”
I frowned, “Id erat massa. Laesus potui (That was risky. You could've been hurt). That was my emergency plan… not a test in the field when it could hurt someone plan. Egress laughed, “Parva ducissa, Sum Hackura. Ego quoque custodiam. Dolore possimus tractare. ego te servabo in vita mea (Little Duchess, Iam a Hackura. I am also a Guard. I can handle the pain. I will guard you with my life).”
