207- Invitations and interest


    Maggie smiles happily at me, she can tell I’vee to a decision.


    “Tomorrow? I don’t have ns and Logan usuallyes here for most of the weekend, why?”


    “I want to have a dinner. A family dinner. Will you bothe?” I feel kind of nervous consider Maggie to


    be part of my family, but I’ve never said it so bluntly before.


    “We would love toe. You hear that Logan? Dinner at Ryann’s ce tomorrow night.” She deres


    with a grin. Logan bounces in ce.


    “Really? Just like you said before! Will the other Shifters be there?” He asks excitedly. I nod.


    “Yep, and a few others.” I confirm. Logan whirls to face Kiara.


    “Hear that? We can practise our secretnguage in a room of people and see if we can get away with


    it. Make sure to keep thinking of other things we can add to it. I will too and we can trade ideas


    tomorrow.” He tells her cheerfully. Kiara nods eagerly and she seems much happier leaving now that


    she knows she will see her new friend again soon. Actually, she seems much happier just having a


    friend. I really hope that whoever she ends up staying with doesn’t live too far away. Not just because I


    don


    want her to leave me but it would be cruel. to separate her from Logan and the other people she has


    begun to depend on.


    When we get home I rush to find Bemy in his office, Kiara in tow. He opens his arms for a hug as we


    enter. I hug him and step back to allow Kiara the chance to do the same if she wants. She considers for


    a moment then reaches around him and pats him gently on the back in a light hug. Bemy grins and


    hugs her back, keeping his hold loose so that she can retreat. when she’s ready.


    “I’ve decided something.” I dere. Kiara steps back and beams up at him. Bemy is so shocked by


    her happy expression that he takes a moment to process what I’ve told him.


    “Uh, yeah. Wait, what? You decided something. What did you decide? Youdies seem very excited by


    something.” He realises. I nod.

    “Yep. I’ve decided we’re having a dinner party tomorrow night. We’re inviting all our friends. Maggie and


    Logan areing, they already said yes. I’ll invite everyone else in a minute.” I smile happily and


    Bemy nods.


    “Sure, that sounds fun. I don’t think we’ve ever really done that before. Did you want any help from me


    or have you got it covered?” He asks. I shrug.


    “I was going to ask Megan to help, arranging parties, even small ones like this is kind of her thing, isn’t


    it?” Bemy nods.


    “Yes definitely. We have our meeting with Alex at three tomorrow, but it shouldn’t take long so there will


    be plenty of time to get ready for dinner.” He agrees.


    “Yes. I did want to ask for one thing. Can you send me Alpha Kohen’s number? I was thinking I might


    invite him and his wife. I’ve been wanting to meet her for a while and you guys seem


    to get


    along okay. I think he would be a fun guest to have.” I tell him. Bemy’s eyebrows fly


    1. up.


    “You want to invite… huh. I mean, I can’t see a reason why not. Sure, I’ll text you his number now so


    you can get the


    tout. It seems youdies have a party to n. Are you excited


    Kiara?” He asks. She smiles and nods her head enthusiastically.


    “Yes, she made a new friend today. They already have ns to hang out again tomorrow evening.” I tell


    him, trying not tough. He winks at me and I can’t help but let a giggle slip out. Everything has


    changed so fast. A week ago I was tired and miserable, looking for Kiara and trapped in the house


    worried about my safety. Now I have friends and family


    and I’m nning a party, not even for any reason. Just because I want to spend time with everyone.


    Kiara and I rush upstairs to find Megan. She’s upstairs in her room typing something on her


    “Megan, we need your help.” I dere. She immediately closes herptop and turns to face


    1. US.


    “Sure, what’s up?”


    “We’re having a dinner party. Here, tomorrow night. I’m about to send out invites now but we

    are definitely going to need your expert help to get everything ready in time.” I exin. She lights up.


    “I would love to help! What should we have for dinner, wait, how many people areing? We


    probably need to get more chairs and add onto the table. Kiara, what kinds of food do you like to eat?


    You have to let me know if you have any ideas too, okay?” Megan is opening herptop again. She


    opens a document and starts a to–do list which has far more on it than I would have considered. I get


    to work messaging the potential guests.


    COCK TALES


    Ryann- Hi everyone! So we’re having a dinner party at our ce tomorrow night and you’re all invited!


    Be here at five–thirty. Who is in?


    Harry–Party? I’m there. Question, who else is invited?


    Megan- Don’t worry Harry, we will be sure to invite Cam. I’m pretty sure she wouldn’te if you gave


    the invite.


    Harry- Sad but true.


    Amber- I already cleared my evening when you invited Maggie. I’ll be there.


    Aaron- Ok


    Darrien- Sure, do you guys need any help getting anything ready?


    Megan- We might need help moving some furniture and tablester, and possibly with some shopping.


    Just keep yourself avable tomorrow.


    Darrien- Will do.


    Next I text Shaun and Alex.


    Ryann- Hey guys, we’re having a dinner party here tomorrow night. Five–thirty. I would love it

    Shaun- Sounds like fun. Who else is invited?


    Ryann- All my friends are invited. You know who they are since we made lists of literally


    everyone I know.


    Alex- 1 cane. Are you inviting your Oracle friend? Shaun doesn’t talk about much else these days.


    Ryann- Yes she’sing. ??


    Alex- Oh good. She’s kind of strange, but nice.


    Ryann- She is.


    Next up on the invitation list is Cam.


    Ryann- Hi Cam. Would you like to join us for a dinner party tomorrow night? Here at five-


    N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    thirty? Harry ising but I promise to do my best to keep him under control. The rest of us


    will be there too.


    Cam- Uh, I’m not totally sure. I’m meant to be working. But I’ll see what I can do. My friend might be


    willing to swap with me. Put me down as a maybe and I’ll do my best to make it.


    Cam- And don’t worry about Harry, he’s annoying, but I can handle it.


    Andst on the list, the one I’m most nervous about. Alpha Kohen. I really don’t know how he will react


    to the invitation but I want to offer it anyway. I think it would be good for us to


    be friends with him.


    Ryann- Hello Alpha Kohen. This is Ryann Gale. Bemy and I are throwing a dinner party tomorrow


    night and would like to invite you and your family to attend if you’re avable. It’s not a formal meeting


    or anything like that. Just friends and family. We thought it might be nice to all have a meal together.


    Kohen- My wife says she would love toe and that means I’m definitely going too. ;) Fair warning


    our little one is only a few weeks old. She might fuss a bit, we probably won’t stay until toote in the


    evening. What time should we be there?

    207- Invitations and interest


    Ryann- Five–thirty. And it’s all good. Babies are adorable and I’m keen to meet your wife. She sounds


    like an interesting woman.


    Kohen- She’s the best. We will see you tomorrow night.


    I update Megan on the R.S.V.P’s I really didn’t expect everyone to say yes. The only maybe is Cam but


    I think she will probably make it. I don’t think people refuse her very often. We order take out for dinner


    and then myself, Megan and Kiara spend the rest of the evening


    nning a menu and working out our dinner ns.
