“Lucy baby come with me, I need your help,” I tell her, marching up the steps. Tyson screaming and thrashing on my shoulder.
“Lucy don’t help him, help me,” Tyson begs and she giggles, skipping up the steps ahead of me and waiting on the landing.
“Traitor, I am not having a tea party with you now,” Tyson tells her. I walk toward the bathroom and Tyson grips the door frame and I have to pry his fingers off before turning him upside down. As soon as I walk toward the toilet he starts screaming the noise is high pitched and makes my ears ring
“Take the hair, take the hair, no it has skiddies” he screams, his hands clinging to the toilet bowl trying to stop his head from going in. I dunk his head in it.
“Lucy be a dear and flush the toilet for daddy”
“Lucy don’t do it, don’t listen to him you love me more,” Tyson screams before his words are cut off by her flushing the toilet.
She giggles, and I let him go. He falls awkwardly to the floor stuck between the toilet and the wall. Ace laughs from the doorway and he gives Lucy a high five on her way out.
Tyson was dry retching in the toilet bowl. Serve him right the little shit.
” If it makes you feel any better, that skid mark was mine,” Ace tells him and Tyson growls at him before throwing up. I scoop Lucy up, giving her a cuddle. “Guess what?”
“What?” She asks.
“You get to go to school tomorrow,” I tell her. Her little eyes light up.
“Really, mum said yes”
“No, but I did, I will deal with your mother,” I tell her, kissing her cheek. She wraps her tiny arms around my neck.
“She is really going,” Ace asks me through the mindlink and I nod.
“Yes, I wouldn’t have said she is if she wasn’t”
“Reika?”
“Not happy but she is enrolled and going”
“We can pick her up and drop her off, we can just walk to school from hers,” Ace says.
“You sure?” I ask him.
“Yep,” he says, holding his arms out wanting to take her, the boys for the most part had settled right down, and the bond they share with Lucy was quite strange, they are almost drawn to her. I dread when they find their mates because I don’t think Lucy will like not having their constant attention.
“Can you watch her for me, I have something to take care of” he nods and I head for the basement.
“Tea party?” She asks him as we walk downstairs..
“Ah okay, but we are having the strawberry cookies, I hate chocolate ones,” Ace tells her as they walk off toward the kitchen.
I lock the basement door behind me before walking into the cell. Danika’s skull sat beside him on the steel table.
“Did you sleep well?” I ask him. He groans, his eyes fluttering open.
“Please kill me,” he begs.
“Well today is your lucky day, because death I shall grant,” I tell him, smacking his chest before pulling on some gloves.
“Want to share one last kiss with your beloved wife” I ask, picking up her skull and clanging her teeth together. He starts sobbing. “Please just kill me, are you really that fucked in the head to keep me alive. There is nothing left to cut off. I have no fucking legs or arms you’re a twisted prick”
“I can go if you want, we can do this tomorrow, damn maybe next week I can schedule you in,” I tell him, about to take off the gloves.
“No, no please” I turned back to him.
“I will miss our chats, it was knowing you we have shared some good times,” I tell him looking down at him, he was just a torso and head now, amazing what a werewolf body can endure. Honestly I was amazed at what he has been able to endure and survive, amazed at myself for not becoming bored and killing him.
“But luckily for you, I have a hormonal pregnant mate upstairs who wants you dead, so you know the saying, happy wife happy life,” I tell him before putting my hand through his chest, he chokes gurgling on his blood before I pull his heart from his chest, the life draining out of him before turning grey. I sigh now, what would I do with my spare time?
‘You could always go cook those squash and beg for forgiveness, I don’t want to die in my sleep’ Brax tells me and I roll my eyes at him.
Reika
2 months later
I awoke from my day nap on the lounge, my lower back was killing and overall I just felt uncomfortable.
‘Come on, get a swing up’ Amanda tells me as I swing my legs trying to get enough momentum to get up, rolling doesn’t work. I got stuck on the floor for an hour last time, stupid nerve pinching in my ass.
“You right big momma,” Tyson asks and I growl at him.
“Get over here and help me get my ass off the couch please”
“Where is Lucy?” I ask as he walks over to me.
“With Ace playing video games,” he says, holding his hands out to me. I clutch them making sure to maneuver my skirt so I don’t tread on it.
“Ready,” Tyson asks and I nod.
“1.. 2… 3,” he says before heaving me to my feet just as I feel my feet get wet.
Tyson jumps back, “aw man you just peed on me,” he says, shaking head before he shivers, grossed out.
“Why am I always the one that gets covered in bodily fluids?” he Huff’s.
‘I don’t think that was pee’ Amanda tells me and I look down at the puddle on the floor. Ryker was at the Alpha’s meeting, he had been staying home but couldn’t escape this one meeting. I hope it’s just pee.
“I will get the mop,” Tyson says, wandering off.
I try to walk back to the stairs to go change my clothes. Tyson, walking towards me, stops and groans.
“No, stay still you’re leaving a trail like bloody snail, I am not following you around with a mop, do I look like a janitor?” He asks.
“You look like someone who is about to get smacked,” I warn him.
“Geez bloody hormonal woman, go on then” he mutters, mopping everything up.
