Chapter 110
Kaiden
I invited them to dinner, and Nancy insisted on cooking. She refused to have anyone help, but the only ones who wanted to were pack members. She didn’t hold back either, making a literal Feast. Babygirl made dessert, and even managed to find some blood to warm up for Prince Lucien the Soundless One, not that he deserved it.
The Princes’ mates seemed to think too highly of themselves to want to do housework, or rather, some didn’t want to have their husband lose face in front of the others on the council. Their servants attended them, while we men watched the game.
I bet a hundred bucks on the 59ers, and actually fucking won. They won by a Single point in overtime, while the Chieftains quarterback got injured.
“Pay up.” I grinned.
“Oh stuff it.” Grumbled Saiyoken, the Dragon Crown Prince. I think Technically his father was supposed to be here, but it was never explained why. Regardless, I made about 800 bucks.
Human sports were fun.
We enjoyed them so much, that game attendance was probably the second or third reason why we went out into the human world besides fining mates….
“Make me another cup of tea.” Commanded the Witch Princess….
I think the Fae Princess was probably the most snobbish, as since she, nor the Witch Princess, were shifters. They thought of my house as outdated and stinky. It really wasn’t, they were just close-minded and elitist.
“Give it Back! Give it BACK! RAH!” Screamed Izzy… Michelle had her Unicorn. “You’re holding Daisy too Rough!”
“You can’t catch me.” She teased.
My pups and my niece and nephew ran downstairs with the other pups their age.
“Look!” Michelle stopped to shake the absolute Shit out of Daisy.
“You’re going to Rip IT REE!!!” The high pitched Squeal of my pup….Ugh. My brains felt like scrambled eggs…
“Michelle, give it back.” I growled.
“Yes uncle.” She huffed…
I had some hot decafe tea, Luna’s orders, while Connor gave a heart to heart talk to Allister, because he was too soft. He wanted him to toughen up, and be the leader he was meant to be.
There was a knock, along with the smell of bull. Not cow…. Bull. Jerold was red eyed when I answered the door, and steam came out his nose. Mini was in his arms, though she looked like she just woke up from her usual nap. It takes 3 hours to get here, I would take a nap too if I were 5.
Noah pranced ahead of Jerold and stood between me and him. “I know Kaiden, Jerold please calm down. He wouldn’t have invited him if he knew you had issue with Lord Lucian.” Said Noah…. What?
“I didn’t invite any of these bums, Grandfather summoned them without telling me… after I told him I wanted no part in this shit show.” I grumbled. He calmed down after that, and had a small smile.
“Jerold.” Said Lucian.
“Lucian.” Said Jerold.
Mini, on seeing Caleb, woke up and ran to my pups. They all played blissfully unaware that the King of Halves was about to fight the Prince of Vampires. I would’ve ordered some pizza or popped some popcorn if it wasn’t my house they were going to destroy. They would all leave after dinner anyway… but still.
“I said I was sorry.” Said Lucian, who showed no emotion.
“I believe you told me, after I almost killed you for what you did. And if I recall, it was your father who begged for your retched life.” He snarled. His horns spiraled out his head, and he destroyed his shoes.
Noah tried his best to calm the rage of his supernatural partner, but Officer Jerold, was still unhappy. There was the snarl of a she wolf, who in the blink of an eye, slapped the royals with her spatula. Nancy was her backup.
“I don’t care What it is that’s between you two, but you will not ruin dinner Nancy worked so hard on. Now Sit.” Eclipse commanded like a mother chastising our children, and surprisingly they sat silently.
I was a little proud of Babygirl, but I said nothing, choosing to support her by letting her shine. Nancy was her backup, though it was usually her who did the table manners enforcement.
The pups played, getting on the coffee table near the TV. I would have stopped them, but there was 14 of them, and I would rather the table get chewed than my ankles. Let it be a future me problem, I thought to myself.
There was more than enough room for everyone and their mates, though we had to pull out the other dining table that we almost never used. “This is lovely, thank you Nancy… also thank you Eclipse for literally slapping some sense into me.” He chuckled.
“Anytime.” Nancy smiled sheepishly.
“I didn’t want a fight so close to all our pups.” Said babygirl. Her heart still raced, but it wasn’t for fear. It was her instincts that kicked in for the pups… Which wasn’t wrong.
After all… the Prince carried the title of the Soundless One, and Jerold’s true form is 13 feet tall..
“No problem officers. My mate and niece owe you their lives. You and yours will always be welcome here.” There were universal mumbles of agreement throughout the pack.
“You have my, and my grandfather’s welcome as well, your majesty.” I said looking directly at the vampire prince. I had no idea what he thought of Jerold, but if he wanted to touch a hair on Noah or Mini’s head, the wolves would aid him in his rampage.
“I do not think you can vouch for the Center Seat with him not here.” He said calm as still water. He outwardly showed no emotion, but he knew that I could tell. He was livid.
I didn’t say anything as I pulled out my phone. I video chatted gram-gram, who was eating lunch herself. “Kaiden, what a pleasant surprise… what do you want?” She said with a smile, she could see the room, and that her plan worked.
“Can I have grandfather?” I asked politely. It only took her a second.
“My blood, you interrupt my meal. Speak.” He commanded. He wasn’t annoyed, but to a nonshifter, he sounded as such.
“What would happen if anything happened to Jerold’s mortal mate, or gravehound adopted pup.” His eyes were red.
“Do I need to come to you?” His spoon in his hand turned red hot. Now he was angry.
“No. I was just wondering.” I said casually.
“Kaiden… the pup of my pup, tell me any name, any man who worries your heart, and I will come to you. You do not need my authorization, because you have a good heart with few friends, my son.” He licked the red-hot spoon, and it sizzled. He did that so he could eat without burning his food.
“Thank you, grandfather.” I bowed a nod.
“Yes, yes, eat your meal, it will get cold.” He said with a rare smile and hung up. The room was silent. None of the other princes had such authority. He basically gave me permission to behave as a standing king should I need to. Anyone else most likely needed to call mommy and daddy to make sure that they could.
“That’s right Kaiden, Flex baby!” Said Noah, reaching over the table, and we high fived.
Of course, this made the entire table of Crown Princes upset. What was better, was that they couldn’t complain, not with Jerald around.
Dinner was peaceful afterwards.
We shared meat, and said our goodbyes, though Jerold and Noah stayed an hour longer. I could only assume he didn’t want them knowing where he lived, but Also, it wouldn’t be fair to Mini to have to leave earlier than their usual time because of those asswholes.
Tonight, the Crown Prince Lucian was a whole ass.
“Thank you again Kaiden.” Said Jerald with a hearty chuckle.
“Anytime. Mini goes to mortal school, and lives in a mortal town… with no pack. I would not short change her chance of childhood.” I said firmly.
“Aye. I’ll see you next weekend. The Chief’s really riding my ass on finding Chuck the Doll and imprisoning him again.” He complained.
“Really?” I said intrigued.
“Wait… that Lame Ass Movie…?” He finished it for me.
“He’s out there, teamed up with Jerry Ruger….” He said it really low. “ But don’t worry about them; they don’t target supernaturals. And even if they did, my scent is here. Goodnight Kaiden.” He said shaking my wrist. I trusted his words, plus… We lived out in the middle of nowhere.
The only humans they could feed on would be in cells… guarded by wolves…
“Goodnight.” I looked at Eclipse. She was playing with the pups now that dinner was put away. I kind of wanted to go on a ‘big adventure’ as my brother puts it, but I never would with so much to protect right here.
