I asked, “Do you know how meetings he will have?” Emmaline admitted, “No, but I do know that I can conjure you more outfits if necessary. You said you wanted to give him the Christmas spirit back. What’s a better way to give him his mojo back than sexy outfits?” I laughed and began to put away the clothes.
I hugged my sister in law, “You are the best, thank you.” Emmaline replied, “I’ve got your back, and I probably understand more than most. My siblings stopped their lives because I was sent running. I thought I was helping them, butKatie literally became a Private Investigator to find me. They couldn't give up an apartment and all their holidays changed.”
Emmaline laughed admitting, “I even went in with Dylan on a Sonic fast food franchise because I wanted to give my siblings that tradition back. Because sure we can pop, but there’s something to say for driving to there and getting your milkshake. So, I understand you feeling like you have to give this party back to Dylan.” I hugged her again and tears filled my eyes.
I asked for the millionth time, “It’s a good plan, right?” Emmaline assured me, “You went over and over the plans with several Beta bloods. It’s perfect.” I admitted, “Travis brought Ben McAlister in. I wouldn’t have thought of that.”
Emmaline shrugged, “You thought to include Travis though, so you had it covered.” My phone rang. I answered, “Kris, how did it go?” Kris laughed, “Dylan’s practically singing Christmas songs and wearing bells. We are a go.”
I squealed, “It worked!” Kris boasted, “You two are perfect for each other. His eyes are sparkling and he’s delighted.” I whispered, “Thank you for doing this.” Kris chuckled, “I didn’t do much, Lacy. This was your plan. I’ll be a part of any think tank you put together. It was truly an honor. I’ve got to get back to the store.” I said, “Bye, Kris and thanks again.” Then we hung up.
I squealed and danced around. Lucas linked me, “Get to my office please.” Oh god. What? Did it not actually work? Did Dylan already give up on the idea? I ran downstairs and found Travis. Lucas asked, “Why the hell is Travis here when Dylan knew what caroler he wanted to get you?”
I looked at Travis and my eyes misted over. I whispered, “It actually worked. Dylan enacted the Christmas store plan?” Travis smirked, “He did.” I screamed, “YES!” Lucas asked, “What is going on?” I jumped and hugged Travis, then Jackie because she was up here too.
I explained, “We kind of jump started the Christmas minions in Dylan’s brain to throw the Friends Christmas Party but make it bigger. Dylanmas returns this year.” Lucas snorted, “Bigger? Are your memories of that party dwindling? Bigger, really? My god, Lacy.”
I said, “I had to give it back to him, Luc.” Lucas’s eyes softened and he came over and hugged me. Lucas whispered, “You never took Dylanmas from him.” I replied, “I heard about the drunken carolers that were placed around the pack border.”
Lucas admitted, “I wasn’t here.” Travis snorted, “I was. Eric was pissed because Dylan wasn’t paying attention to his surroundings. The man killed rogues left and right to protect my brother.” I snorted, “Well, said rogues had no holiday cheer, clearly.” Lucas said, “Dylan loved that Eric was out there watching over him. I’m shocked he hasn’t mentioned it in a hot second.”
Travis snorted, “It will be in the damn toast at the party.” I admitted, “Probably but he’s planning it, so we are all going to have to attend.” Lucas asked, “Do you think I don’t value my sanity? Of course I’m going. If I said no Dylan would pout and change my schedule so I could be there even if I was busy.”
I warned, “He’s probably going to make sure his parents know they are not invited.” Lucas shrugged, “It’s his party. I can hardly force him to invite them even though he will literally invite everyone else.” Travis chuckled, “Not Cassandra.”
Lucas acknowledged, “She was never invited. Well, she was actually uninvited every year.” Kiara said, “That sound interesting.” It did. Emmaline asked, “What now? That sounds so intriguing and like something I need to do when I plan parties.” Lucas grinned at his mate.
I called Ben McAlister on the office phone. He answered, “I’ll assume this is Beta Dylan.” I sang, “You’d be wrong.” Benchuckled, “It worked then.” Lucas asked, “How many people were in on this plan?” I admitted, “A few.”
Travis said, “It worked like a charm, Ben. I’m sure we will all get our invitations soon.” Dad came in announcing, “Rumblings are going around about Dylan’s Christmas Party is being resumed. Everyone that remembers Dylanmas is thrilled. I’ll say someone kickstarted that and I’m looking at my daughter.”
Mom came in squealing, “Yes, she did! I have been waiting for him to start that back up! Everything’s officially back to normal.” I blushed, “Well, I can’t exactly take full credit.” Travis argued, “Yes, you can.” That wasn’t true.
Kiara said, “Thor didn’t want people to know he came to meet with us.” It felt dishonest not to give Eric the credit though. Jackie grinned, “I can’t believe I finally get to come to one of Dylan’s famous Christmas party.”
I snorted, “He’s got Fairies to help him now. The other parties will pale into comparison and Dylan could always plan a party. Dylanmas was something the area, even humans, wanted an invitation to.” Travis agreed, “Dylan did love how everyone clamored for his invites.”
Debbie admitted, “I can’t believe we didn’t know he had Fae blood from that alone.” I smiled because my mate adored that he had Fairy blood. Barely a drop, but to Dylan it meant everything. I agreed, “He’s definitely the most fun Beta around.” Even of those with more Fairy blood than my husband. Dylan just enjoyed life.
Emmaline grabbed me, “Ok, things are back on track, and we can all discuss the invitations when they arrive in some fun way.” My sister in law popped me away to a treehouse. I asked, “Why did you do that?” Emmaline explained, “Because your soul told me you had something you wanted to ask me.”
I admitted, “So, I was thinking about adding another layer of fun to Dylan’s Christmas joy.” Emmaline grinned, “I loveit already, tell me more.” I admitted, “It does require you or Haley.” Emmaline laughed, “I love it more.”
I explained, “Well, in September I was hoping one of you could release magic and send me into heat early. Dylan and I have been talking about another pup, and one born on Christmas would mean everything to Dylan. He’s been obsessed with that idea since Landon was born near it.”
Emmaline chuckled, “I’m sure we could challenge Lucas and Eric in September to see who can pleasure me or Haley enough to be the first one to release magic.” I laughed, “It can just be you and Lucas.”
Emmaline shrugged, “Competition never hurt anyone, and we should have a backup plan. Beta’s would. Maybe Logan and my nephews have rubbed off on me, because the competition part is really sticking out to me.” I busted up laughing with her.
I agreed, “The Beta’s definitely would have a backup plan. Are you sure you really wouldn't mind?” Emmaline laughed, “You’re asking me to get so blissed out on orgasms so much that I release magic. Honestly, it’s such a big ask on your part. Truly, I’m such a good friend having repeated orgasms for you all to send you into heat. I don’t know how you’ll ever repay me.” The sarcasm at the end was next level.
I snorted, “I sense such sarcasm.” Kiara huffed, “Sense? It was on her face and in her tone.” Emmaline laughed, “Because it is serious sarcasm. I love your brother, so this is no hardship on me. We can arrange the babysitters. My dad will be thrilled to have all the kids if your mom want to go into heat too.”
I groaned, “Ew. It’s hard enough asking you for this favor when your mate is my brother. Let’s not talk about my mom going into heat.” Emmaline chuckled, “Fine. Haley can arrange for her kids to go to her parents too.”
I asked, “I wonder what excuse Cassandra will give not to go to the party. Oh god. Dylan will have Haley make sure she can’tcome. He always did that though. I thought he only told her once she couldn’t come, but Lucas’s comment makes me think otherwise.”
Emmaline grinned saying, “I’ll find out all about that. Tell me about the time you know about.” I admitted, “Dylan told Cassandra she couldn’t come to Dylanmas because she was the Grinch.” Emmaline cackled, “He did not!”
