The pups all cheered and I smirked. Lacy linked me, “Now, come join me with Lucas and watch the rest of the show.” I squealed, “I have instructions people. Best of luck with whatever is next. You’ll be lost without my guidance. I’m not even leaving you behind, Lucas. Them’s the instructions people. The people understand Lucas and I are a package deal.”
I grabbed Lucas and we ran back to the house. There were pumpkins leading the way to the theatre room. I squealed, “LACY, YOU SET THIS UP TO LOOK AMAZING!” There was a graveyard with scary trees and Giant Spiders on the webs adorning the wall. There was even a skeleton at a Ticket Booth.
I skipped over to Lacy who was dressed as a sexy bunny. I squealed, “Look! It’s my Halloween Dylan and Lacy Day Bunny!” She had a scary bunny mask on with a gray, sparkling diamond bodysuit and ears to match.
Emmaline was dressed up too. I asked, “Now, what are we watching?” Lacy chuckled, “Here’s your computer to type thememo and the video is set up to send pictures and videos to you directly for said memo.”
I squealed, “THIS IS THE BEST! DYLAN AND LACY DAY WILL LIVE IN INFAMY!” Lucas snorted, “It already does.” I shouted, “They will write sonnets and poems about this day. The humans will catch onto our fun, that’s how much we will have.” Lucas said, “Yeah, maybe not them.”
I waved, “Pshhhh they go to haunted houses for fun. This is right up their ally. Then I’ll get them on nixing Thanksgiving all together.” Emmaline gasped, “You don’t like Thanksgiving?” I scoffed, “I SLEPT IN A DOGHOUSE AND DEPLOYED MY BROTHER TO MAKE SURE I DIDN’T BECOME THE ALPHA!”
Lacy snickered, “Which would've meant I was the Alpha, Dylan. Beta’s can’t actually be Alpha’s.” I shouted, “THE PAPERWORK!” I whispered, “I do understand it was going to have my name while you did the work, but I would’ve made sure your name was there.” Lucas snorted, “It didn’t happen.”
I cracked my knuckles and began to watch the group fight all the Halloween characters that came up to them. I said, “This basically writes itself. Dylan and Lacy Day has brought the Conners to anger and promptly out of their depression. They skipped acceptance and are now glad Mommy Queenie Meanie is gone. JOY TO THE WORLD! Sing it with me.”
Everyone chuckled while I winked at my mate and proceeded to serenade them all, knowing that the beat got my mate feeling all frisky. I was going to enjoy the last part of my Lacy Bunny’s plan in true Dylan fashion.
My Future Movie Star
October
Lacy was excited. I asked, “Are we sure this is the right call?” Emmaline answered, “Yes, and Haley agreed to the plan so no one is going to argue. I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but people let Haley do her thing.”
I snorted, “Haley was excited about the new facet of having the guys relax, thinking we were pranking them in the afternoon; then getting them again in the evening. She lives for pranks, but I have noticed as long as no one is getting injured they give her free reign.”
Emmaline laughed, “Say what you want, but you’re excited about that for your anniversary next year as well.” Kiara advised, “You can’t sneak that past the Soul Searcher.” I acknowledged, “You’re right I am excited for next year.”
Emmaline added, “Plus, Haley knows this is exactly what the Conners men need. Dylan is going to go about his own plan, and we have ours.” I snorted, “Lucas will be pissed we sent him out of here when he finds out.”
Emmaline gasped, “We? You used Dylan’s computer, not me.” My sister in law winked at me. I pointed out, “It was your mischievous idea.” Emmaline agreed, “It was because Eric might have Lucas interfere and corral Dylan on his end of the plan.”
I laughed, “It did help that Dylan wrote out his plan.” Kiara chuckled, “Beta’s usually do.” Yes, and I knew my mate’s passwords. Emmaline asked, “Have you proved Cassandra was behind that attack on Black Mountain, that Dylan interrupted, before she died?”
Kiara snarled, “May her corpse rot.” I sighed admitting, “Sadly, no. Travis, Ben, and I looked but we couldn't find anything. They agree that she probably sold information, or likely talked around someone, but there’s no paper trail.”
Emmaline offered again, “I could loop in Logan.” I acknowledged, “It’s a silly waste of resources. We should’ve been able to find her trail if there was one to find.” Emmaline argued, “I don’t think it’s silly, especially since your instincts say it was Cassandra behind it all.”
I grumbled, “Well, I can’t have her tarred and feathered like I wanted because she went and died.” Emmaline cackled, “Swerving for a deer. Humans are taught to break in drivers ed. They literally practice not swerving. Cassandra had worse survival instincts than humans.”
I admitted, “That does make me feel better because she would’ve hated that.” Emmaline agreed, “Cassandra would’ve hated that so much it would’ve cause her physical pain. For someone wrong about so much she had a superiority complex I did not understand.”
My sister in law waved her hand, “That crazy lady thought she was better than Debbie, and that’s just absurd.” I rolled my eyes saying, “Cassandra was quite literally insane then. No one thinks that.” Emmaline tapped her chin, “That’s true.”
She paused then added, “Even the souls that seemed to know why that evil woman thought she was all that and two snaps didn’t believe Cassandra was better than your mom. Or any of the other Luna’s that were full blooded she wolves.”
I reached out for her hand apologizing, “I’m sorry people discount you because you’re not a she wolf.” Emmaline shrugged, “Honestly, I feel worse for what Sophia went through. A different group not accepting you is easier to rationalize then your own people.”
I shrugged, “It still hurts you.” Kiara growled, “Let’s just rip someone to pieces.” I wasn’t opposed and would do so for my sister in law. Emmaline asked, “Why are you upset?” I sighed, “I want to rip someone to pieces. You know what? It’s Halloween! Let’s have you practice some Fairy charm to dig up Cassandra’s grave so Kiara can RIP her to pieces.”
Kiara purred, “I like that a lot.” Emmaline chuckled, “So, you can’t do that.” I groaned, “Don’t be a good, sensitive soul right now. Cassandra totally deserves that. Of all the people who should never rest in peace, she’s high up on that list.” Emmaline grinned saying, “I’d let you do it, don’t get me wrong. It’s just that Cassandra isn’t in the grave people think she’s buried in.”
I gasped, “No! What did you do without me?!” I slapped her on the arm. Emmaline rubbed her forearm asking, “What? I didn’t do anything, and you didn’t hear this from me.” My sister in law whispered the last part.
I squealed, “Oh my god. Does Dylan know this?” Emmaline shook her head, “Not to my knowledge. It was locked down in Faerie, but my Dad told me.” I clapped, “I love when I get to tell him things like this. You know he’ll be a vault until the time is right.”
Emmaline agreed, “I know both of you will be.” I love that she understood that about my mate. People thought Dylan was a blabbermouth, but he wasn’t. My husband collected details and revealed them at the proper times. In his own very dramatic way, but the man could keep a secret. As the Soul Searcher Emmaline could understand that.
Emmaline whispered, “Haley took Cassandra’s coffin along with her body to Faerie and had Farrin set it on fire then put the ashes in unicorn poop.” My jaw dropped, “How could you not tell me that?! That is the TEA of the CENTURY!”
