Dylan practically jumped with me into our seats and subtly pulled out a camera. Nathan helped Marjorie into her seat and in some sort of, could not be planned better for my mate, synchronization the other Conners men sat down at the same time.
Molly put her napkin over her face as the glitter snowballs hit them all and Dylan took the picture. My husband’s voice rang out again, “AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You thought you were safe. It’s been too long since Dylanmas. You forgot that I’ll get you too! See you at my party! Don’t forget and don’t be late! He who is tardy pays for the party.”
Darrin, Harold, and Jackson shouted, “Come on, Dylan!” Dylan told me, “They have to practice talking like that at the same time. I know they do, I just can’t prove it.” Nathan just laughed admitting, “I missed your snowball glitter bombs, Dylan.” The man jolted, seemingly waiting for Cassandra to comment on the mess they made. Because she always did.
Marjorie chuckled, “It does make the room look quite festive. Almost as if it snowed.” All the Conners pups exhaled in relief at their special table. Kiara growled, “Mommy Queenie Meanie made everyone feel they couldn’t have fun in their own home. Those are Fairy pups, just like Dominic’s. They need fun.”
Yeah, something told me they were going to have a lot more fun without fear of retribution from anyone now. I watched Haley’s eyes dart around the room and narrow. She’d noticedeveryone’s relief too. I linked Emmaline, “Did Cassandra not mention the cutting comments about Fairy powers around Haley?” Emmaline snorted, “That woman’s cutting comments were always directed at Haley.”
Kiara gasped, “Oh my god! The Fairies don’t know that everyone was avoiding having fun if Cassandra was around.” Yeah, that was clear now. Dylan jumped back in to dissipate the confusion from all the Conners women about what the hell just happened.
Dylan teased, “You guys say you don’t like my party, but you sat down in completely perfect timing, together as one. It’s like you knew I was waiting for it. I even had my camera out. Don’t worry, it will be in the memo because I captured the perfect moment.”
Jackson sighed, “We were helping our mates into our seats. I was positive my snowball reminder was going to get me later. You threw us off by doing it on the same day. You never used to do that.” Dylan replied, “I know, but one has to keep you on your toes so you’re prepared for Dylanmas!”
Darrin retorted, “We all have fun at your party. You change the decorations, but it’s about drinking, playing games, and exchanging presents.” Kiara purred, “This year will be so epic.” Dylan said, “I have such fun games picked out this year. I think we should make SGAP play Christmas Twister again.”
Eric groaned, “Please god no.” Dylan whispered, “You could enjoy it this time because the she wolves won’t all clamor to touch your package.” Haley asked, “You tried to play twister with a present? Did the children swarm you?” Dylan hummed, “I said she wolves.” Haley looked confused about why the women would care about a present.
I bit my lip. Emmaline asked Haley, “So, remember that book club I had you start?” Haley answered, “Yes, the spicy one. That we call spicy because the books have sex in them. Not becausewe eat spicy food.” Emmaline nodded, “Right. What do the authors refer to men’s…?” Emmaline trailed off and looked at Lucas’s lap.
Haley laughed, “Oh my god. They do have such fun names. Manhood, pack…” Haley trailed off then gasped, “People tried to grope your dick at a fucking Christmas Party, Eric?!” Dylan offered, “One tried to give him a blow job through his pants. Don’t worry, she’s dead.”
Haley snorted, “Good. Or I’d fucking kill her.” Dylan said, “Yes, she just disappeared off the face of the earth recently. It was very weird.” Eric snorted, “No one cared about that either.” Lexi took a big drink and Heath smirked into his glass.
I linked Dylan, “Did the Hood take out the woman you’re talking about?” Dylan replied, “I’m pretty sure my Super Special Fun Sized Fairy Ninja Goddess and the Speedy Luna took her and more out. The smirk says the Hood himself was brought into their fun mission.” Oh my god. The Hackura looked like that information also confirmed something for them.
Out loud my husband continued, “You’ll be happy to know so many of those grabby handed women have just been vanishing off the face of the earth. Lately, they’ve been dropping like flies. Karma seems to be coming. It must Dylanmas.”
Dylan tapped his chin, “Actually since the dark cloud of doom left this pack it’s been happening frequently.” Molly took a big drink. Kiara gasped, “Ashina knows about it too!” That was Molly Conners wolf. Emmaline linked me, “So, would now be a good time to admit I’ve drowned a woman?”
I gasped, “You’ve been going without me to kill people?!” Emmaline admitted, “Just once because the woman also went after Lucas. So, Haley brought me into everything. I didn’t know it was a bunch of women dying though. I know there are more coming though.”
I replied, “You so have to get me into the killing group.” Emmaline admitted, “I asked about the list and apparently a lot of people will eventually be included. Lexi knew first because the woman also made a play at Chase. Plus, I’m pretty sure Haley just automatically includes Lexi because they have always done missions together.”
I glanced over at Miley who was sipping her drink as well. I linked my sister in law, “Miley totally knows too.” Emmaline agreed, “She was with me and Haley when we took one out.” I snorted, “So much has gone on since Cassandra died. Damn. Once I push Hank out, I’d better be in on this.”
Lucas linked me, “What the hell is going on?” I replied, “Ask Eric, he clearly knows.” Lucas retorted, “I asked you.” I admitted, “I haven’t been brought into the fun yet.” Eric dryly said, “Problematic women dying isn’t really dinner conversation. Nor does anyone in the room, or anywhere else, care about them.”
Dylan cooed, “I know. Their families are quite relieved, honestly. You guys get it.” He pointed at Jan, Cassandra’s sister. Kiara snorted, “Nikki’s mom.” Lucas sighed, “Dylan.” Dylan winked, “So, good of you guys to finally come to a gathering. We’ve missed you.’
Dylan tapped his chin, “When was the last time we saw you at a big gathering, Jan and co? Gosh, was it your dad’s funeral?” Nathan replied, “Surely not.” Dylan hummed, “I think it was. I don’t recall another time. Porter, how about you? Can you recall another big gathering they came to that I’m not recalling?”
Porter was blinking rapidly. Dylan dramatically turned in his seat to ask, “How about you, Caleb?” Jan cleared her throat, “That does sound right.” Dylan raised a glass, “Good on you for your healthy boundaries, Jan. Take note SGAP, your DNA is capable of setting such boundaries.”
Lucas’s jaw dropped when Dylan took a big drink then set his drink down and saluted Cassandra’s family’s side of the table. My mate said “I salute you for healthy ways and return to knowing the goings on in this pack because you come here now. Let’s drink red cocktails and eggnog while we rejoice in the fact it’s almost time for my Christmas Party that you have not RSVP’d to.”
Dylan then whispered, “Don’t worry, your glitter snowball bombs are coming in a different fashion because you have not RSVP’d. Saying no is an option, a silly one that you’ll regret it forever. It is still an option open to you, though. Saying nothing is rude.”
Jan chuckled, “We are just trying to work out if Christmas Eve will work for us.” Dylan snapped his fingers, “I usually host my party on a different day. Sadly, I was late on getting my planning started, and it just has to be on Christmas Eve this year. Next year, I shan’t accept the too close to Christmas excuse. It won’t be too close. I have to mix it up and get back to my party roots.”
Marjorie chuckled, “I actually don’t think you do the rumors about you justice, Beta Dylan. You’re far more hilarious in person.” Eric groaned, “Please don’t tell him that.” Dylan waved, “Awww shucks. You’re such a flatterer. Isn’t she just so complimentary, you guys?”
Kiara snickered, “That’s why he picked her.” I replied, “The reasons our husband picked Marjorie will be multifaceted.” Cassandra’s brother asked, “Are you dating my brother-in-law, former Luna Marjorie?” Eric’s voice went like ice through the group, “Whether my dad is, or isn’t, this is not the time or place to discuss it. Nor is my dad’s business any of yours.”
Eric’s Uncle straightened, “I was just going to say I’m glad he’s getting back out there. Cassandra would’ve wanted him to be happy.” Oh no. Haley shot the man a look of utterdisbelief. Emmaline linked, “Did that guy ever meet his sister?” I answered, “He hasn’t seen her in a long time.” Emmaline snickered.
Dylan cackled, “Oh my god. Marjorie, here you thought I was the jokester. Go on, the floor is your brother to Mommy Queenie Meanie. I’m so sad we’ve never met. A fellow funny man and in Mommy Queenie Meanie’s family no less. Who would’ve guessed? Not me, that’s for darn tootin’.”
