Strings of Fate
215- Silly and sorry
Eventually the kitchen is clean and everyone starts to join us downstairs. By midday everyone. is
awake except for Harry.
“I should probably wake him up or something, he didn’t mention having ns today but I doubt that he
nned to sleep sote either. Although he probably should n for side effects if he is going to keep
drinking whatever Cam puts in front of him…” I say dryly.
“Can I do it?” Bemy asks eagerly.
“Huh… you want to… wake Harry up?” I ask, a little confused. Is Bemy trying to be nice to Harry? He
nods and I swear he is practically bouncing in ce.
“I mean… okay?” I tell him, a little doubtfully. His answering smile is absolutely gleeful. Then again,
he’s been in a pretty good mood all morning. I’m not sure anything could kill that smile right now. Still…
There is something strange about his excitement. I was right to be suspicious. Bemy disappeared
upstairs for a few minutes then into the living room to wake
Harry. A minuteter there is a sudden st of loud music and the most high pitched sound I
have ever heard Harry make. What the hell did Bemy do? I run into the living room to find
that Bemy had thrown a container of water over Harry and apparently turned the TV on to a music
channel as loudly as he could. The resulting fright has caused Harry to jump up and catch on one of
the nkets that made up the side of the fort and yank it down on himself, tangling up and basically
trapping him. Bemy isughing hysterically. Harry finally gets his head untangled and is now sitting
there lookingpletely dazed and confused. Also wet, his dark hair dripping down his n*ck. His eyes
are squinting and I’d be willing to bet he feels like there is a hammer smashing down on his skull right
now. The water was funny, the loud music might be a little cruel. Actually, Bemy looks like he might
be regretting that part too, he might be cheerful but he is still hungover. I turn off the TV and turn to
Bemy, arms
crossed over my chest.
“Really?” I ask, staring him down. He just shrugs.
“I’m pretty sure it’s a rule of all sleepovers, don’t fall asleep first or be thest up or risk being pranked.
It was unavoidable.” He insists. I roll my eyes.
“I feel like that’s not a rule.” Iment. To my surprise, Harryes to his defence.

“Actually I think it is. As much as I resent him right now, I would definitely have lost respect for him if he
didn’t do something like this. Just remember, revenge is a dish best served cold and I am prepared to
wait.” He says a warning in his voice. Okay then… this is both amusing and concerning. I guess a
prank war between Bemy and Harry might not be the worst. thing. This might actually be the most
childish thing I have ever seen Bemy do. Making friends with Harry, someone who could not care
less about his authority or status as Alpha might actually be good for him. He doesn’t get a lot of
chances to cut loose, not to mention I think a better rtionship with Harry will help with the whole
jealousy issue.
In the afternoon, I receive a call from Alex. He also sounds a little groggy. These guys are definitely
going to have to learn how to pace themselves with Cam’s drinks. I also think I might have to get some
kind of hangover cure from her and keep it handy for future events.
“Hey Alex, what’s up?” I greet him happily while I watch Darrien, Bemy, Megan and Kiara work on
taking down the fort while Harry gets in the way. If I had to decide who was the child, Harry or Kiara,
Harry would definitely be the one I pick.
“Uh, hello Miss Gale. I was wondering if you wanted to arrange a time to go over some of the
information I’ve found about your magic, or at least about Ananke.” He exins.
“Oh, that sounds great. When works well for you?” I ask. He seems a little thrown by that. I guess he’s
used to kind of just being told when to do things by Bemy, but this isn’t really a job, more of a favour.
There’s no particr rush or anything like that.
“I mean… I’m free this evening. Or tomorrow afternoon works too…” He trails off.
“How about tomorrow? I think we could all use a quiet afternoon today.” I joke. He sighs in relief. “I
agree. I mean, yes. That works. Thank you. Also I… uh…” He trails off awkwardly.
“Yes?” I prompt. Alex hesitates before answering.
“I just wanted to apologise. I don’t really know exactly how I got so drunkst night, I don’t usually have
that problem and I didn’t think I consumed that much alcohol but I must have been wrong. It was
inappropriate of me to behave that way and I promise I will be more careful in the future. That is if you
choose to invite me to a simr event, I don’t want to assume… I mean… ugh.” He falls silent.

“Oh, that wasn’t your fault. and chilled out. She forgot to mention that she brought it and you drank
some. It’s really strong and very effective. You couldn’t have known. Also, don’t be silly, of course you
will be invited over again. We’re friends.” I reassure him. When Alex answers he sounds relieved,
although still kind of ufortable.
am made a special drink for Shifters, it makes you really rxed
“Thank you. Will… Will you please pass my apologies on to Alpha Kane? I can’t help but feel that I’ve
embarrassed myself.” Alex sounds so ufortable.
“Sure, if you want. But there’s really no need to apologise. You did nothing wrong. If anything, I should
apologise to you for letting someone basically drug you without your knowledge at my dinner party.” I
tell him guiltily. He is quick to reassure me.
“No, no. Not all. I’m fins. Everything is fine. Thank you.” I decide to give Cam a call. She answers
quickly.
“Morning.” She greets me.
“Hey Cam. So about that drink you made, the one to get the Shifter’s drunk. Well, the good. news is
that it definitely worked. The bad news is that the hangover is killer and none of these guys were
prepared for it.” I say it pleasantly but my tone is a clear warning.
“That’s my bad. I really didn’t think it would be that strong. I’ll whip up something to help and send it
right over.” She promises.
“Thanks. And maybe no more sneak attack beverages? Just give a little warning. They probably would
have drunk it anyways, but Alex is all guilty and embarrassed about getting drunk in front of his Alpha. I
don’t want people feeling bad over things that were clearly not their fault.” Cam sighs.
“I understand. I really do. I won’t let it happen again. I didn’t expect Harry to be so…. well… you know.
He’s a clingy drunk. I should have known better. I will be far more careful in the future.” She promises
and luckily, I actually believe her. I like Cam, I don’t want to have to start drama with her about her
drugging my friends. Satisfied, I thank her foring and let her get back to work.
