Chapter 67
Ares took off to find Mars or Kelly maybe both. “Hey help Mars with the winter wonderland okay,” I yell after him. Lavender fills the air. “so Nyx feels bad huh?” “She does. She never meant to hurt the girl she didn’t even sense her there only Mars.” Ambrose says behind me. “Is Kelly okay really?” “She is I checked her and had both Locke and Tlamoy look her over. Both said clean breaks with no lasting damage. Tlamoy gave her healing water to speed up the healing. She should be better by tomorrow. Mars is very upset.” “I have a feeling Kelly is more than a fling. Ares is inviting her to their movie night.” Ambrose barks out laughing. “my light is gonna be in for it then.” Shaking his head. “I can’t believe she let you take her magic.” “oh you miss understand she demanded I take it away for a while.” Lifting my brow at him. “she feels really bad.” “no wonder, she’s been so focused on gramps coming.”
“Speaking of. Has anyone informed him about the journal and the necklace you sent to Athena? And what she will learn?” “I didn’t. Maybe mother did after all they have gotten close since she took everything over. He’s been at the black site. Running the labs for us.” “maybe someone should warn him before he walks into the office to find the journals.” Dropping my shoulders I know he’s right. “well shouldn't it be mother? she is still the alpha right?” I try but he just shakes his head. “man oh what if he sends Nyx in first butter him up and then I just rush through saying it.” Giving me that have you lost its face. “hey can’t blame me. He’s a grumpy old man.” “he's tired young alpha. He has been overseeing things that both William and Phil should be here to oversee.” Nodding in understanding. It has to be hard burying not only your mate but your children and your children’s children.
“okay, when will he be arriving?” “pulling up the drive now so if I was you.” “ass hat” I huff and turn back the way we came. Deciding it will take too long to walk I Jump through the heat currents.. jumping to the first floor. I first appear as a ball of flames growing in size and shape as I walk out of the flames. Do I have to appear like living flames? No. Do I do it because it adds to the vibe of things? Damn right. I don’t know about you but someone stepping out of flames in front of me is gonna make me pay attention. And the gasps of everyone getting startled by it priceless.
Walking out the door to the porch as the black town car pulls up. The driver jumps out and rushes around the car to open the back door. Out steps, a tall dark haired green-eyed older version of myself. If this is how I will look as I age I can’t say I’ll be disappointed. “will. No Hades my boy is that you? Come here let me look at you. You look just like William. He was such a good boy. Smart, strong, and a good leader.” “pops” a she-wolf a few years older than me steps out of the car. “Priyaa my dear come to meet your cousin Hades. Hades this is Priyaa the daughter of my last pup. Shawn is running the lab now. She refused to let me travel alone.” Rolling his eyes at the last part. She bows “future alpha” “granddad why is she bowing to me?” I link he looks back shocked “Priyaa?” before anyone could say anything else Allie stormed out of the house “screw you Derek I hope you choke. We will see what father has to saaaaa.” Stopping in her tracks as Priyaa stares back. Derek ran into Allie's back causing them to tumble. Priyaa rushed to help Allie up.
“Don’t think she was bowing really” he linked back. “former alpha Jamison I apologize for my pups. Their birthday is in a few days the big sixteen. Tempers are running high you know how it is with twins.” Granddad starts laughing one of the belly-holding full laughs that leave you gasping for breath at the end. “boy don’t I. Two sets of twins for me. Thank goodness Shawn and Travis were easier.” We all laugh.
“Are you okay?” Priyaa softly asks Allie who just nods. “what no one cares about me?” Derek huffs getting up. “do you see anyone staring at you like you're made of diamonds?” I ask him bulking he raises a brow and I nod to look at his sister and Priyaa. Both look totally taken by the other. “gramps how old is Priyaa?” “17” “hey Allie could you do me the biggest favor and show Priyaa to the alpha suite mom was setting up the spare room for gramps but I’m sure Nyx will share her room.” Allie nods the motions for Priyaa to follow. Derek goes to open his mouth “one word and your party will be canceled.” Shutting him up fast. Glaring at me “oh Priyaa in a few days there is gonna be a party for the twin's birthday your more than welcome to join if granddad allows.” Both girls start blushing. I can feel the heat of embarrassment coming off both.
Allie and Priyaa rush into the house as mother comes out the door barely missing them. “granddad I’ve missed you. Was that Priyaa?” she rushes to hug gramps. “it was I’m surprised you remembered her she was just tiny the last time you saw her?” “How could I forget you told me to remember this one she’s special.” “Well, she is. Smart as a whip. If I didn’t have her help the files at the lad would still be paper.” He grumbles. “oh come on you grumpy old bat let’s go have coffee and fresh cinnybonnies.” “lead the way, my favorite granddaughter.” “that only works if you called only one of us your favorite.” Mom chuckles as they head inside. Slapping Derek’s shoulder. “well help me get the bags.”
