I winced, “Hey knows I have a psychotic ex. I might have a wolf friend that helps and killed my ex’s uncle. I should be sadder about that than I am, but I’m really not. He was a horrible man, and the wolf gave him what he deserved.” Jag seemed to sit taller after I said that.

I admitted, “I think the wolf wanted me to say thank you, but I was in shock. I did leave food out for him a little bit ago. Hopefully, he knows I’m actually grateful.” Jag said, “I’m sure he does. Wolves tend to be territorial so that’s probably near his spot.” I could not believe he didn’t mention how bat shit crazy everything I just said was.

I casually said, “It’s pretty cold out. Do you have a place to stay?” Jag replied, “The colder weather doesn’t bother me, not unlike you.” I sighed, “That didn’t answer the question.” Jag teased, “I have somewhere to stay, little worry wart.”

I stuck my tongue out at him and we both laughed. I told him, “Text me if you need anything. I have a spare room if you ever need somewhere to crash.” Jag told me, “You do the same. I’ll be around and thanks for the offer.” It sounded like he was saying no to it though.

I teased, “Yes, you’ll be around still pretending you’re a Vampire from your Halloween costume.” Jag snorted, “I do NOT want to be a Vampire.” I shrugged, “Baseball player then.” Jag acknowledged, “That’s better, so let’s go with that.” I winked at him and left with Tatum.

I looked at her once we got into my apartment. I complimented her, “You really are the best behaved puppy.” I leaned down and hugged her. I grabbed the ball I’d gotten and played with her for a while before getting her food out when Keaton called.

We teased each other a little bit. I decided I was going to dress up as Sexy Deadpool to prove I was sexy not adorable. Sexy Deadpool definitely got the point across that I was not adorable and my sexy ass boyfriend should take note.

When we got off the phone Tatum had eaten her food and was sleeping on her pillow bed I bought her. I went into my bathroom and pulled my hair up into a slick ponytail. I pulled out the sex shop bag and put on my Sexy Deadpool outfit.

It was spandex with cutouts from my neck to my belly button that cut off at the top of my thigh. I put the belt on and put on the fake swords. I did a cat eyeliner with a smoky eye look and red lipstick. I popped my lips together and nodded, “Perfect.”

I found some thigh high black boots. I snorted, “Jarchi has really great taste. It’s also very broad. Oh my god stop talking out loud to yourself, Odette.” I put them on and waited. Something must be keeping Keaton. I went over to my computer and logged into my computer. I clicked on Noxus’s next email.

Odette,

I am not upset with you in the slightest. Your mother on the other hand, I am quite put out with. Morgana betrayed me in more ways than I can count. What she’s done to you will always be the worst. If you want to come to us in person, we can arrange that. If you want to keep it, let’s call it in, your dreams simply wish it so.

I know you don’t understand the other place you went to. If you go again, it is imperative you remain silent. Do not say a single word or make any noises. Please. It’s extremely important. If you end up there in person, we will come protect you.

When we meet, I’ll be happy to be your stepdad. My offer to help you find your biological father stands as well. Keep near your song boy. You can be mad at him, just be near him. It’s hard to explain, and we can do that better in person.

Please know it’s not weird you needed his shirt, it’s natural. I really do wish you would let us speak face to face. There are things that cannot be explained over email, or on the phone. There are conversations that require being in the same room, and we have many to have with you.

I’m quite certain your mom is a drain on her boyfriends. She seems to have tapped into that side of herself which is quite sad. You are NOT an embarrassment. Morgana is saying these things to keep you isolated and vulnerable. It’s a game, and I’m sorry you got caught in it.

You are rare and special. Probably more so than Morgana knows because she’s been ignoring you. I do not think your mother knows the Merrick’s plan to kill you. I think very little of Morgana at this moment, but I do know she wouldn’t let that happen.

I’m sure in her mind, you’ll live a life with anything you desire. The Merrick’s are rich, and after a lifetime of being deprived of material things Morgana believes that’s what you want. It’s why she’s having you live the way you do. Your mother wants you to be so sad and depressed you accept whatever sliver of interaction they offer you. Even a loveless, abusive marriage.

We are still trying to find your brother, but it’s not our focus. As you said, Lux is protected, you are the one that needs us most. We can help you find him though. Your mother is the reason we can’t find you, or you’d be home by now.

I won’t deny your mother not mentioning our sons to you makes sense to me, but it also hurts. Our boys are great men, but Morgana’s plans wouldn’t work if you found us. While it’s a move I understand, it cuts me deep as well.

Do NOT marry Luke. Don’t be alone with him, ever. If he gets close to you, get to water, any body of it, and wish for us. For Caspian. I know that sounds weird, just do it as it is your only chance. It might not work, but all avenues are worth exploring. Please do that for me.

I do wish all these circumstances would stop lining up for you to believe we are the mob. I do understand why you think that though. You have your books. We aren’t something you can understand with the terms you have.

Your brothers do enjoy the running mob joke. Caspian pretends it annoys him, and to a degree it does, but he smiles. He’s a serious one, but you make Cas smile. So, no matter what my boys say keep your joke going. They like it because they like you.

I will not let you be fodder in this war. We will come for you if the Merrick’s bring you in before you are ready to tell us where you are. They are counting on us not knowing about you, but we do. In that, they have lost their advantage.

I also think they don’t see you clearly at all. You are kind and sweet. Connecting with us is enforcing pieces in you that they didn’t want to form. I know that doesn’t make sense, but one day it will. Hopefully soon even.

DO NOT FOLLOW THAT DIET! I suspected, but it’s repulsive that Morgana’s doing this to you. It’s yet another unforgivable thing she’s doing. Meat is important to us. Your mother is messing with your body chemistry.

We NEED protein. Quite a lot of protein, sugars, and fats. Dairy is also important for us. Please, please, know there’s nothing wrong with that diet for others. Just not people with your body chemistry. It’s wrong and it’s hurting you. Do not follow that at all. Listen to your friend.

You are so strong, Odette. I’m honestly quite proud of the things you are doing. It must be quite hard to be you right now. There is so much going on that you don’t understand. Things you are probably trying to convince yourself are wrong. Trust your gut and your song. The mind isn’t always right, but you can trust your instincts.

Do you know the name of Luke’s someone else? It could be important. I wish you luck with the law of your land. Do keep me up to date on how that goes. You were not born to be bred. We all do die eventually, but that is not your purpose in life.

You will have a long, full life. The Merrick’s are not good people, and they couldn’t find their head from their ass if they tried. Luke would not slit your throat, it’s not his specialty as you called it. Just protect yourself.
