Part Two: Ch. 57

"Lenny, I'm done with this game!" Vincent shouted while walking down one of the hallways. "Please come out! Axe is starting to panic and tell me crazy things!"

*Someone could have taken him!* Axe whined.

*No one took him, you crazy little shit!* Vincent argued. *It's literally only been thirty minutes!!*

*Someone broke in and took him!* Axe yelled at him.

*Someone broke through the kingdoms border and then proceeded to pass through the castle walls and get all the way here without our father or uncle Gabriel noticing?!* Vincent yelled back at him. *Stop being so fucking crazy!!*

"Gotcha!" Lennon quickly jumped on Vincents' back, wrapping his arms around his shoulders.

*Mate!* Axe chirped excitedly.

"Thank Goddess.." Vincent sighed while grabbing a hold of Lennons' arms. "Axe was starting to drive me crazy, he was losing his mind!"

Lennon giggled while giving him a soft kiss on his neck. "I'm sorry for causing a panic, Axy."

"Axy? That's not going to happen." Vincent snorted, sitting Lennon down on his feet. "He's never allowed me to call him that. Not even when I was little."

*Mate can call me whatever his beautiful face desires!* Axe confessed with a smile.

*You little shit!* Vincent growled at him.

Lennon chuckled while stepping around Vincent and heading down the hallway. "Come on, lets go see if your mom needs any help with dinner."

Vincent just grinned while following after him. "Baby, would you do me the honor of being my date and going to the mate ball with me tomorrow night?"

Lennon just chuckled while turning around. "As if you would be allowed to take anyone else!" Lennon snorted.

"I'm just trying to be sweet." Vincent frowned while wrapping an arm around Lennons' waist.

"Babe.. I would love to be your date." Lennon smiled up at him and gave him a quick kiss.

A huge grin spread across Vincents' face while he pulled Lennon closer and nuzzled his nose in his neck.

"Are you two done?" Kanes' voice echoed in their ears. Kane eyed Vincent for a split second before turning around and walking away. "Dinner is ready."

Lennon smiled sadly while nudging Vincent with his elbow and grabbing his hand. "Come on, lets go." Vincent just nodded his head while letting Lennon pull him into the dinning room.

"We're having baked chicken, mashed potatoes and corn!" Trixie chirped while handing Kane his drink. "Dessert is a surprise!"

"Sounds great, Mama." Vincent smiled at her and gently kissed her temple before taking his seat. Vincents' eyes drifted to his father for only a second before he turned his attention to his little sister. Vincent reached over and gently tugged at one of Isabellas' pig tails causing her to frown angrily at him and swat his hand away.

"No." Isabella spoke, trying to sound stern. Vincent grinned and did it again, chuckling when Isabella puffed out her cheeks and growled at him.

"I love you, Bella.." Vincent cooed, innocently while poking her red little cheeks.

Isabella just huffed her annoyance while folding her arms across her chest.

"Stop being such a bully, big brother." Lennon chuckled while gently tapping his leg.

Kane cleared his throat while trying to ignore the warmth that spread throughout his body while watching his pups interact. *Stop being a douche.* Goliath growled.

"So you plan on going to the mate ball?" Kane asked, ignoring his beast, sitting back in his chair, sipping on his glass of wine.

"Yes." Vincent answered. "KJ and Todd want Lennon and I to go with them.. for the carnival and Todds' second chance.." Vincent explained. "Is that okay..?"

Kane just shrugged. "You're going to do whatever you want, with or without my permission."

"Dad, I'm sorry.." Vincent frowned while staring up at his father, his eyes pleading with him.

*I swear I'll break your stupid face!!* Golaith roared while pacing around in their mind.

Kanes' eyes softened while he reached over and grabbed Vincents' hand. "We'll talk after dinner, okay?"

"Okay.." Vincent nodded with a small smile.

"So it's just us tonight!" Trixie explained while walking back into the dinning room with the final dish, oblivious to the small tension in the room. "William and Reese decided to have a date night while Theo is taking Tatum out to make up for their anniversary." Trixie placed a soft kiss on Kanes' cheek and sat down next to him.

Kane quickly grabbed Trixies plate and started filling it with food while Isabella threw her spoon at him. "Hungry!" Isabella pouted.

"Knock it off." Kane warned her, giving her a stern look.

Vincent chuckled while grabbing Isabellas' plate and started cutting up a piece of chicken and putting it on her plate. "Nanoes!" Isabella cheered while pointing at the mashed potatoes.

"Okay but you have to eat your chicken or no dessert, got it?" Vincent gave her a knowing look but all he got in return was Isabella sticking her tongue out at him.

"You're so adorable!" Lennon chuckled while reaching over and gently tapping Isabellas' nose, getting a little giggle from her.

"Alright so, tomorrow." Kane spoke up while handing Isabella her sippy cup. "You'll go back to school and then we'll all take some SUVs to the ball."

"Can't we go back to school on Monday?" Vincent questioned.

"Well Set said Lennon can go back tomorrow but I guess you can go back Monday." Kane shrugged with a knowing smirk.

"Oh.. um, that's okay. Tomorrow is fine." Vincent smiled, bashfully. Lennon just chuckled while gently nudging Vincents' side.

"I go!" Isabella grinned while lifting her hand, managing to fling mash potatoes everywhere.

Trixie tsk'd while wiping up her mess. "Yes, we will all be going."

"Are you going to be a princess?" Vincent questioned while poking her nose.

"Am princess!" Isabella gave a mashed potato filled grin.

"A spoiled princess." Kane snorted. Trixie poked Kanes' side and gave him a look that made Kane roll his eyes. "My spoiled princess." Kane cooed while pinching Isabellas' cheek.

"Wait.. Are we actually having to dress up?" Vincent frowned while eyeing his parents.

"Yes."

"No."

Trixie gave Kane a sharp glare. "Yes." Trixie answered again. "You're *the* Prince of Hell, Vincent. You have to dress up."

"Right. Your mother is right." Kane nodded his head in agreement.

"So you're turning this into a formal appearance?" Vincent scowled. "I'm not going to shake hands with a bunch of fake ass people."

"Language!" Trixie growled at him.

"Baaaad wooorrdd." Isabella chastised while shaking her head.

"Vincent, you'll just stand next to us on the stage while we greet everyone. That's all you have to do. You can go enjoy the carnival after that, okay?" Kane explained.

"Okay, fine." Vincent agreed.

"I don't have a tux or any type of suit.." Lennon confessed while biting his bottom lip.

"That's okay, sweetie." Trixie smiled. "We'll have a variety of suits for you guys to choose from when you get home from school. Don't worry about it."

"Thank you." Lennon smiled with a small blush.

"We're going to match?" Vincent questioned while staring at Lennon.

"If you want too.." Lennon blushed.

"Pink!" Isabella clapped her hands together.

"No." Vincent frowned at her.

"Bad word.." Isabella whispered seriously at him.

Vincent threw his head back with a sigh while everyone else laughed. "Great."

"Pink!"
