Emmaline kissed his cheek before saying, “I know that, but this way you had deniability when the Conners ask.” Lucas laughed, “I love you so damn much, Baby Girl.” I looked around my office finding books and first editions of some of my favorites.
Kiara purred, “Mate loves us.” I agreed, “He does.” I whispered, “I can’t believe he’s been doing this for so long.” Lucas added, “He’s been working on this room in his spare time since you guys were assigned this wing too. I was just never allowed in here once I realized he was sneaking away fifteen or ten minutes here and there.”
Emmaline winked at me as I admired my whole office. I had the best mate in the entire world. Danver admitted, “Not even I knew what was within this room.” I gasped, “What?” Lucasquestioned, “Umm why are you more surprising about him not knowing than me?”
Kiara snickered in my head. Danver admitted, “This was Dylan’s perfectionist side coming out. He didn’t hire a single person for this project.” Lucas kissed Emmaline then kissed the top of my head. My brother said, “Off I go to make my Beta’s day.”
I called after him, “You’re such a good brother and friend!” Lucas waved his hand in the air calling, “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell me stuff sometimes.” I gasped, “What? That was NOT in the little sister handbook.” Lucas playfully growled and faded from view.
Emmaline popped our group back to the theatre. Danver said, “I do think you’ve outdone yourself with this, Beta Female Lacy. My dad is thrilled to be part of the festivities.” Emmaline said, “I’ll be right back with snacks.”
When she left, I told Danver, “Your dad was key this year. You know my mate wants to skip Thanksgiving.” Danver admitted, “I do know that. Beta Dylan has mostly viewed Thanksgiving as an obstacle between himself and Christmas since he was a pup.”
I agreed, “He really has. Honestly, the cold war Fairy deal with Emmaline gave him the actual reason my mate has always wanted to convince people to ignore it.” Danver snorted, “That just cemented it was a horrible holiday in his way because he couldn't see you.” Kiara purred, “Our mate is so romantic.
Emmaline popped back in with more snacks. I linked Lucas, “Are you walking at the pace of a snail? You’re missing the bus!” Lucas replied, “I’m going to enter at the right time.” I teased, “You just hate the Sam character.” Lucas agreed, “I really do. He creeps me out.” I snickered out loud.
We watched Lucas pull Dylan out and I had to admit, “That was really a good entrance.” Emmaline cooed, “It was. My man is SO HOT!” I rolled my eyes, “He’s still my brother.” Emmalinethrew popcorn at me, “I’m with Dylan, you guys forget we know that fact all too often.” She winked at me.
Kiara grumbled, “Dominic comments on it more than we do.” I offered, “So much more than we do.” That perked my wolf right back up. Emmaline gasped, “Dylan implied we got Lucas out, so he didn’t hear you guys having sex?! Why?”
I answered, “Because that’s fun for my husband.” Emmaline groaned, “I want my mate in a sexy mood, not sulking because you guys have sex.” I replied, “I’m pregnant. The proof is in the pudding, so to speak. There’s really no hiding that I’m having sex with Dylan.”
Emmaline teased, “You’re lucky I was raised in this realm, or the pudding comment would send me into orbit.” I grinned, “I know. We have to come up with a new fun way to tell Haley new sayings. Cassandra had to go and die removing our making her face turn red, and eye twitch, when Haley told everyone how dumb a saying was.”
Emmaline bit her lip, “That was mean, but so much fun.” I snorted, “Nothing we did to that woman was mean enough.” Kiara agreed, “It really wasn’t and clearly her wolf agreed.” No joke. Kenna could’ve corrected the car and we all knew it. Cassandra’s wolf let her die, that’s how bad it was.
Emmaline nodded to me, and I linked Dylan the instructions to get back here and watch with us. Danver bowed his head then said, “I will watch your pups with my mate until Jackie and Travis pick them up.”
I replied, “Thank you so much. Your dinner reservations are made, and a car will be waiting to pick you guys up an hour after Jackie picks up the pups. Your babysitter will arrive thirty minutes before the car. So, that should give you guys time to get ready.”
Danver smiled, “You and the Beta always take such good care of us.” I grinned saying, “We will continue to do so. You doso much for my family, and it does not go unnoticed.” Danver blushed furiously and left.
I knew he’d watch Dylan’s reaction because he really did see Dylan like a little brother. When my mate arrived, I had on my Halloween (kind of) Bunny outfit. Kiara snorted, “The scary mask makes it a Halloween themed bunny.” That had been my goal.
I showed Dylan everything and he was thrilled. Lucas linked, “He’s really never letting the possibly being the figurehead Alpha thing go.” I replied, “I still can’t believe you said that to him. Jackie, Travis, and Dylan spent so much of your money.”
Lucas replied, “I have a lot of money, and they didn’t really spend that much.” I snorted, “They do it every year to remind you they can’t be put in charge.” Lucas agreed, “I know that, but we all know it was going to be you. I just wasn’t going to have you go through what Alpha Sophia did.”
I replied, “We do all know that, even Dylan. When I tell you the stories Jackie tells about my husband’s links to Travis that day are hilarious, I mean it. He was saying he didn’t have notifications, so Jackie wasn’t spending enough.”
“Dylan wanted flashy jewelry and told her to get things for herself as well. Expensive things. I believe ‘shop Jackie, Shop! It’s an emergency!’ Is a direct quote. Or ‘spend Jackie spend!,’ and that she wasn’t spending enough. He wanted email alerts and so on.”
Lucas admitted, “That wouldn’t shock me in any way, shape or form.” Dylan was singing, which got me going. Kiara agreed, “It is good Mommy Queenie Meanie is dead, but I wanted her tarred and feathered.” I reasoned, “We still can’t get proof of what she did, so even if she was alive it wouldn't matter.” Kiara huffed in my head.
I asked Dylan, “Can you be distracted?” Dylan snorted, “Your brother is right there, and he will shout about it.” Lucas growled,“DYLAN!” Dylan whispered, “Don’t be a cockblock, Lucas. Just discreetly leave. That’s what wingmen are supposed to do.”
I quickly said, “That comes later.” Lucas groaned, “Dear god, why me?” Dylan said, “You know no one multitasks like me, Sugarkins.” Kiara snorted knowing that he only said that to make Lucas growl, which worked.
I told him, “Well, prepare to scream and possibly forget all about that.” I pointed at the screen. Lucas snorted, “Way to set the expectations sky high, Lace.” Dylan squealed, “This is the best. I’m so ready. Go ahead and blow my socks off mate of mine.”
Dylan whispered, “And other parts of me later.” Lucas shouted, “DYLAN!” Dylan asked, “What? I was whispering intimately to my mate.” Lucas growled, “I can still hear you.” Dylan replied, “That sounds like an Emmaline problem. This is what I have picked up from the women folk. It’s fun, try it.”
Lucas growled, “Please, stop.” Dylan gasped, “I can’t, so I shan’t.” Lucas sighed. I put the script down in front of Dylan. My husband gasped, “A never before seen movie?! AND you got me a script to follow along with. Why is this part highlighted?”
He was thumbing through it and laughing. Lucas linked, “What the hell is that script?” I replied, “Wait for it.” Dylan gasped, “Oh no, good buddy! You went out in a good way though. Gosh, that character was funny.” Then he got to the end and laughed, “YOU MADE IT BUZZY BUZZ BUZZ!” His characters name was Buzz.
Dylan asked, “Do we get to go to a premier?” I answered, “We definitely will since you’re in the movie.” Lucas jolted and Emmaline giggled. Dylan shouted, “YOU GOT ME A PART IN A MOVIE?! WHAT?! They clearly know of me since I didn’t audition. Your skills are perfection, and I’m such an easy sell.”
