“In my old pack orgies happened pretty often, so I didn’t think anything about it if the Betas, and a couple other wolves and I got it on. That is until the Alpha’s mate walks in and begs me to fuck her with a strap-on. I didn’t say no and she was screaming out my name when the Alpha walked in on us,” Mila says with a shrug, as if she isn’t a total badass. “That’s when I got kicked out of my pack.”
“I’m speechless,” Dell says.
“All hail Queen of the strap-on!” Franny cheers, bringing her soda to her lips. “I wonder if I could get my mates to go for that?”
“Exactly what I was thinking, it sounds like fun,” Dell comments, a thoughtful look on her face as she pulls her phone from her pocket.
“What are you doing Delly?” I ask curiously.
“Oh, I’m having one sent to my house and I’m going to dip it in water and put it in the freezer then I’m going to give River a little payback,” she says with an evil grin.
“I bet your bunch would go for it too Jade, they’re a bunch of kinky bastards,” Mila says but honestly I like being the one fucked or watching them fuck each other. I don’t have any desire right now to take any of them.
“Nah that’s not really my thing but after I have this baby I wouldn’t mind if they chased me through the field out back. Whoever catches me get’s to have me sort of thing,” I tell her, and her eyes light up as if I just unlocked a new kink for her as well.
“Ivan and Tanner sometimes play but I don’t think I could get any of them to go for it,” Franny says with a pout.
“Hey all of you are doing better than me, I’m not getting laid at all! Actually when this whole witch thing is over I kind of want to move on to my next adventure, I’m just not sure where to yet,” Mila says and my stomach sinks. I had a feeling but hearing her actually say the words hurts more than I thought. But I won’t be selfish and ruin it for her even though I’d love for her to stay.
“Why do you want to leave?” Franny asks casually.
“Ever since my mom died, I just haven’t really felt like part of a pack and I don’t know that I want to. Some people feel safe in packs but I just feel claustrophobic. I want to live a little, have some adventures, get into trouble, and have lots of meaningless sex before I settle down,” she explains, and it doesn’t make me want to let her go but I at least understand where she’s coming from now.
“How do you feel about Seattle?” Dell asks out of the blue.
“Never been, why?”
“I have a couple of foxes there that owe me a favor, I could at least set you up with some place to live in a town where I know people in case you get into too much trouble. Then someone can call me,” Dell tells her, and seeing Mila’s eyes light up with excitement seals it for me.
“Really? That would be so awesome, thank you!” Mila says, throwing herself into Dell’s arms and squealing in delight.
“No problem, after we get the witch problem settled I’ll give them a call and get you hooked up, but you have to promise that you’ll call in emergency situations. Spooksville is not like any other place in the US,” Dell informs her.
“Spooksville sounds like my kind of place, I promise,” Mila swears, but I see her fingers crossed even if no one else does.
“You’ll come visit the baby though right?” I ask.
“I’m going to come and teach my little godchild so many bad things you’ll be begging me to stay away,” she teases.
“Hey! How come Mila gets to be the Godmother?” Dell asks clearly offended I didn’t ask her. The truth is I didn’t ask anyone, Mila just crowned herself Godmother.
“Doesn’t Aunty Dell and Aunty Franny have a better ring than Godmother?” I ask, placating the other two, who immediately smile with their new titles running through their heads.
“Oh and my twins and your baby can be best friends!” Franny says excitedly. Glancing over at Dell she just shakes her head no.
“Don’t look at me, I’m not ready to have another baby yet. Max is happy and our family is working, maybe in a couple years? But I’m not sure, my job is a little too dangerous to be running around pregnant, bad guys are assholes,” she says with a shrug.
“I thought I heard a rumor that you don’t take that many jobs anymore,” I say, not pressuring her into having a baby but just wanting to learn as much about her life as possible. Now that I can be part of it I don’t want to miss anything.
“It’s true, I take maybe one or two jobs a month but still, not all of us will be pregnant for only a week, nine months is still a lot of jobs. The guys make good money at their tattoo shop and Dalton started his greenhouse business for local florists which I think will be a hit and it makes him so happy to actually use his powers. So it’s not a money thing, though being an assassin pays well, it’s a me thing,” she says and pauses for a moment before continuing.
“Being Umbra saved me when my life was a complete shitshow falling apart and honestly I’m not ready to give her up yet,” she finishes, giving a small shrug. But the confession I know took a lot of guts to own up to.
“If it makes you feel better I’m going back to the strip club when all this is over. Not because of the money but because I like doing the work, it’s something that I do for me. My mates know and even though it’ll be hard for them to get used to, eventually I think they’ll get over it,” I tell Dell, giving her a pat on the arm.
There’s nothing wrong with doing something that’s just for you outside of being a mother and a mate. Anyone that tells you differently is probably a man.
“I sell crafts on the internet just for me, it doesn’t make a lot of money but I don’t really need money anyway. It’s something I do just to make myself happy, and even though it takes time away from my mates I think it’s a good thing. Or I might kill them,” Franny jokes, or at least I think she is joking.
