“Is that why you laughed?” Dylon asked his mate.
“Do you know what my main chore was?” Cody asked.
“No, what?” he replied.
“Laundry. Everybody’s laundry and now with Daniel’s clothes added in, trust me, it is punishment,” Cody said, chuckling.
“For six months, eh?” Dylon asked Jackson.
“Yes, for six months along with his other chores,” Jackson confirmed.
Oracle stood. “If no one has any more questions for me, I have a grandson to spoil.”
“Just one other question from me,” Cody said. “How do I become invisible? Do I say something or what?”
“All you do to become invisible is to say or think these words to yourself…‘I am invisible’ and you will become so immediately. Oh, I should probably mention your gift also works when you have shifted.”
“How do I become visible again?”
“Just say or think ‘I am visible’.”
Cody and Dylon smiled at each other. This could be fun.
“Thank you, Oracle, for everything,” Jackson said. “Give my son a kiss for me and I’ll see him at lunchtime.”
After she left, Steel turned to his mate, and announced, “I’m going to call Slate, make travel arrangements for both of them and get the documents they need.”
“Thanks babe. Say hello to Slate for me,” Jackson said, before leaning over to give Steel a kiss, while slipping his hand surreptitiously over his mate’s cock and squeezing it. “Later, lover,” he whispered against Steel’s lips.
Cody and Dylon exchanged glances. Then Cody piped up, “Hey if you want, we can leave for a while, so, you know, so you can take care of your mate’s bollocks.”
Steel snorted. “I don’t think you’re going to live that one down anytime soon,” he said to Jackson.
“Oh hush,” he said to Steel, batting his arm, “I would if you stopped bringing it up all the time.”
“Me? Don’t blame me. Cody brought it up,” Steel said, as he stood fumbling with the hard cock in his jeans. “And look at what you did. I’m going to be in pain just walking out of here.”
Jackson snickered. “It serves you right for not coming to my defense this morning.”
Steel laughed. “But babe, I was having so much fun. Can you really blame me?” he asked, walking out of Jackson’s office.
After watching his mate’s fine ass retreat until he could no longer see it, Jackson shifted his focus back to Cody and Dylon, becoming serious. “I’m very proud of you, bro, and delighted you’ve found happiness with your mate. And thank you, Dylon for saving my brother. Make sure you bring him back to us,” Jackson said, adding, “I wish you the best and hope your mission is a success.”
“Thanks, bro. If we’re through, I want to head down to see Zane before he goes to help Dakota.”
“Sure, I’ll see him afterward and find out if he’s had any luck on his search.”
Cody and Dylon rose together. “I don’t think you should use the word ‘luck’ with him. You know how he is,” Cody said.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, no luck just good coding. Got it.” Jackson smirked. He leaned back in his chair as Cody and Dylon left the room. Holy fuck! Cody can become invisible, Dylon has the power of Hercules, Colton has Raphael’s healing power and Ian is the King of Scottish Wolves. What the hell will happen next? Oh yeah, a royal pup.
Dylon linked his fingers with his mate’s and smiled at the happiness he’d found with Cody.It had actually gone better than he’d thought. Jackson took everything in stride and was even concerned about him. He’d never met an Alpha like him and was pleased to end up in this pack. Cody led him through the great room and down the steps to the hospital. Raising an eyebrow at his mate, he wondered why they were headed there.
“Just so you know,” Cody said, “we aren’t going to see Colton. Steel set up a room down here for Zane and that’s where we’ll find him.”
Dylon looked around and found himself in a hallway with several doors. His mate walked to the first one, knocked, and after hearing a muffled response, he opened it and led Dylon inside. There he found Zane studying several computer screens filled with coding.
Zane turned around quickly. “Oh, hi guys, did you come so I can apologize? Listen, I know what I did was stupid and wrong but I really didn’t mean any harm. I promise I won’t do anything like that again. And if I have any doubts about doing stuff like I did when Carson asked me to research you, Dylon, I’m going straight to Jackson with them. No, I’ve learned my lesson. I can’t explain why I didn’t ask him this time. I knew what he asked me to do was wrong. But did that stop me? Oh no, I just went right ahead and did it anyway. Is theresomething I can do to make it up to you? I know I’m helping Dakota, but there must be something I can do just for you. Anybody you want me to research? Maybe an old boyfriend? No, sorry, not a good idea. But think of something I can do. I’m really very good at finding out stuff.”
