Twenty-Three: The Aftermath


    Twenty-Three: Aftermath


    Dustin


    I was very sceptical about letting Myka and Natalya go and have their normal girls'' day out. Myka


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    was starting to show; she was even more captivating now that her belly was rounded with my pup. We


    were unsure of how long she would carry. A normal wolf pregnancy was five months, but humans


    carried for nine months. I figured it would be somewhere in between. I was also worried about the


    entire pregnancy. Human women were not made to carry pups. Myka asked about me changing her,


    but Chris had stepped in and said that would be deadly. When I asked why he said he wanted to check


    into a few things and would get back to me. He had also said that if his hunch were right, Myka


    would have no problems carrying and birthing this pup or any future pups. For some reason, I


    sudden jumped up and grabbed his right side as if someone had hurt him. We all looked at him


    because there was no one else besides us down there. That’s when we all felt an enormous burst of


    power surging through the ground. The five of us looked at each other because we had no idea what


    the fuck was happening. We had no idea what could create a surge of power that great. I looked over


    at Donte, and just as I was going to ask him what the fuck was happening, Natalya came busting in,


    followed by the rest of the girls. Myka ran into the room and straight into my arms. She looked on the


    verge of breaking down and was shaking terribly. I was getting mad because something had happened


    to my pregnant mate, but I was also just as confused. I was just going to ask her when the rest of them


    came walking through the door. They had obviously been in a fight. Alexis was not using one of her


    feet, and her ankle was three times the size it should be. Bryn had a long cut down her right upper arm,


    and her wrist was starting to turn ck and gettingrger. Jailynn and Leah were both holding their


    arms, and I could see blood seeping through. Daniy was limping and had an ankle that was way


    bigger than it should be. She was also holding her side. I saw Nate run to Daniy and Ashton run to


    Jailynn. Then walking inst were Mykenzie and Kni. Mykenzie was holding her hand over a spot on


    her right leg that was going to turn into a huge bruise. Plus, starting at her shoulder and disappearing


    under her shirt was another area that was going to turn into a huge bruise. Kni was holding her right


    side as I saw blood oozing through her fingers. She also had a scrape on her right arm that would


    probably also bruise. I looked at Kaleb. He looked like he was going to lose his shit when he saw her.


    What was really frightening about the whole picture was that both Mykenzi e and Kni had a dark red


    glow around them and their eyes were glowing green. I almost pulled Kaleb away from her, but when


    he touched her, she started to calm down as all the red began to disappear. Her eyes started not to


    glow anymore. I mind-linked mom and dad and asked them toe help take care of these girls. I


    exined what I knew so far, and mom said she would bring Aunt Mandy (Nate’s mom). I knew


    between the two of them that they could get the girls patched up. I did see Chris get up and look at his


    sister''s backs. He let out a sigh of relief, and I am not sure what that is about. Mom, Dad, and Aunt


    Mandy got there quickly, and when they saw the girls, they were shocked. I knew my dad was pissed.


    He hated when men put their hands on women. However, something tells me that whoever attacked


    them was in far worse shape than these women. As mom and Aunt Mandy started patching up the


    girls, the rest of us asked Natalya what had happened. Myka was sitting in between Mykenzie and


    Kni. I had a weird feeling like I could almost see a family resemnce in the three of them. I know


    that is not possible, but it is a feeling I can’t shake. Natalya tells us the entire story from beginning to


    end. She even says that Mykenzie and Kni took out four of them on their own. She describes how


    three of the guys were practically yed open. This also means that a few of their attackers probably


    didn''t make it out alive.


    “Natalya, could you take us back to where they trapped you?” Tarlek asks.


    “Yeah, no problem. Fucking bastard trying to hurt my girls. They deserved everything they got.” She


    angrily replies.


    The next day Natalya takes all of us to where it happened. Even our fatherse down. Apparently,


    even though we haven’t known the girls that long they have apparently grown on all of us. Nate and


    Ashton’s fathers absolutely love Daniy and Jailynn. Kaleb’s dad has taken to Kni and Mykenzie


    like they are the daughters he never got. Alexis, Bryn, and Leah have been adopted by mine,


    Brighton’s, and Natalya’s fathers. I think they have even worked out some kind of weird joint custody


    thing. When we get to the side street, we all start looking around. We could both smell and see lots of


    blood on the ground confirming that some of the guys didn’t survive the fight. Natalya shows us how


    they separated her and Myka. She shows us how they had Myka backed up into a corner when


    the girls appeared.


    “These guys have to the dumbest fucking idiots to corner my sisters.” Chris states.


    We all look at him; he begins to exin that it is a death wish to corner them.


    “Cornering Mykenzie and Kni is like cornering a wild animal. They go into defensive mode. Not to


    mention that they were protecting Myka. I am surprised any of those fuckers survived. Thest


    group of people to corner them, well, that just says none are alive to tell the tale.” Rye exins.


    “They were growling, and it didn’t sound like any wolf. It sounded like a fucking lion or tiger. It was


    fucking badass and sexy as hell.” Natalya chimes in.


    We look around a little longer when all of a sudden we all fucking jump, and I thought I was going to


    have a fucking heart attack.


    “Why are all of you sexy as fuck men here. We already took care of those dipshits.” Mykenzie calmly


    points out.


    We all turn around to find those two just standing there drinking coffee and eating arge order of


    french fries between them. Ok, so I know they can just appear, but for fuck sake, they need to warn us


    before they just start talking. I am almost sure Brighton almost passed out. I hear Natalyaugh as


    Brighton gives her a low growl of annoyance. They ace like it is nothing to be standing there in the cold.


    Fall had hit, and it had be cold.


    “Gorgeous, what are you doing here? You are hurt and you shouldn’t be out in the cold.” I hear Kaleb


    tell Kni.


    “Coffee and we got suspicious when the 17 of you took off together,” Kni answers him with a shrug


    of her shoulders.


    “Besides, who is gonna protect all of your sexy asses if these jack asses return. Plus yeah coffee.”


    Mykenzie adds.


    I give them both re, and they just shrug their shoulders and turn to walk off. Chris says something to


    them, and the three of them start arguing as only siblings do. I have heard lots of siblings argue, but not


    like these three. They remind me of my twin brother and sister. I am pretty sure my brother has a crush


    on Leah. He attaches himself to her when she is around. It’s actually somewhat cute. Who knows,


    maybe when he turns 18, she’ll be his mate. My parents would shit their pants if that were to happen. I


    am pretty sure they are just a tad jealous of the fact that Kaleb has Kni as a mate. I am sure my


    parents would love to have one of these girls in the family. That weird feeling about Myka returns. I


    shake my head, and we get back to looking around the street more, but nothing obvious jumps out at


    us. Nate’s dad says that he smells something familiar but can’t put his finger on what or why. We are


    ready to head back to the cars when we hear Mykenzie and Kni shriek. We all take off running to


    find them staring at a store.


    “Seriously, you too and your god damn love of sweets.” Brandon snaps.


    “We thought something was wrong,” Reece says, ring at them.


    “There is something wrong. What is wrong is why we have no cupcakes to eat.” Kni says.


    I get to thinking, and cupcakes do sound good. I finally have someone else who loves sweets as much


    as I do. I knew there was a reason I liked them so much. I mentally figure out how many we will need to


    feed all of us. I go into the store and ce a huge order to be delivered tomorrow. Kaleb follows me in,


    and we buy enough to make the girls happy for now. When we walked out, we let everyone know that


    we ced the huge order and decided to have a spur-of-the-moment family potluck tomorrow in the rec


    room. Kni gives Kaleb a kiss when he hands her a chocte mocha raspberry cupcake. Oh yeah,


    he is going to get some for that. I can see the look in her eyes. We head back to the car, and I start to


    figure out how to fit the two in, but I look back, and they are gone. DAMN GODDESSES and their


    ability to be anywhere at any time. I guess I can’t be too irritated. They were there when Myka and


    Natalya needed them, so I guess I can deal with it.


    Chris


    Those assholes have no idea what they have started. If you want to start a war with a pack, that is one


    thing. Thest thing you want is to start a war with my sisters. If they think they will win this one, they


    have another thinging. My sisters are going to tear shit up; if anyone lived through this, they would


    be lucky. I knew as I felt the surge of power that was happening. Someone had pissed off my sisters,


    and shit was about to get real. When they walked through that door glowing red, and when I saw their


    eyes, I knew they were pissed. I saw Dustin about to grab Kaleb, and I was actually thinking the same


    thing when I saw him start walking up to Kni. Reece can do that with Mykenzie, but that is different.


    They have been together for a millennium. I was impressed and shocked when Kaleb touched Kni,


    and she instantly started calming down. I have a feeling there was more to this pack than I realized. I


    have already been talking to mom, but she says this pack has not existed for more than 150 years. She


    says she has watched it grow and be stronger. I know she told me that it had absorbed two


    smaller packs at that time. The most recent was when Dustin’s dad was Alpha, so within thest 20


    years. Then there was Myka. There is something about her I can’t ce. Let’s start with her eye.


    They were exactly the same as both Mykenzie and Kni’s. Those eyes came from the fae blood in


    them. I asked mom about this, but she could not exin this. Dustin came to me with his thoughts, and


    I told him I had a hunch but to let me look into it, and then I would let him know. There is something


    special about this pack, and I intend to find out what it is.
