Grandpa Ben asked, “You made that bullet proof vest? Because I do notice that came from Alpha Emmett’s supply in his armory. Which means you sold them to all of us.” I reasoned, “Well… I wanted you to be safe… and having you use bullet PROOF instead of bullet RESISTANT vests is a good start.”
Cayden said, “We bought those too.” I hummed, “Ok… so… I hired… someone to pretend to be the CEO of the company I started…to sell said vests to you guys… and he made the pitch to the allies at the Summit… where Cayden was.”
“It’s not that big of a deal. He’s an actor who memorized the script…
and the possible follow up questions…that I quizzed him on…
some said extensively and I paid him overtime for…
because apparently I was overzealous…but he’s paid and happy with his job…
so really…it’s all good.” Several people snorted.
Alpha Emmett commented, “Sure. That’s interesting. Let’s talk about how you can see my parents’ house and how you can run through a spell that was keeping my men and your friends out. Would you care to explain either of those things?”
I frowned not understanding his first question.
I explained slowly, “I can see the house because it’s there.
I really don’t know what else there is to say about it.
It’s a house... so I can see it. There is literally nothing special about that.
As far as the barrier... I don’t know what to say other than I’m a… .”
Dax cut me off, “She’s special.” Freya chimed in, “He gets it.” I snorted at her, but she puffed up in my head. I raised an eyebrow at my friend. Dax linked me, “I don’t think you want to say you’re a freak out here. Several people seem angry enough as it is, particularly your golden eyed Xander.”
Alpha Emmett snorted, “Ok, what does that mean?” Caine spoke in a hard tone, “It means she’s special.
That’s all it means. It’s fairly self-explanatory.
” Addison winced, “Oh god.” Alpha Emmett nodded, “I know what the words mean. I’m asking how she can do it.
Does her watch have something to do with it? ”
Freya snorted, “No.” I told her, “I already knew that.” Freya took over, “Alpha Emmett, now is not the time for that conversation. That time will come, but it is not today.” My wolf slammed me back to the front.
I asked hopefully, “Can you do that without slamming me forward?” Freya laughed, “It’s a work in progress. ” I’d take that.
Alpha Emmett’s eyes narrowed, and he surmised, “So your wolf knows, but you’re not going to tell us?” I admitted, “I don’t know the answer. I can just do some weird stuff sometimes… it’s always been that way… and she didn’t tell me the answer either… so….”
Emmett raised an eyebrow asking, “You expect us to believe that?” Freya felt angry and so did I. I glared at him saying, “Well, you should because everyone, and I do mean literally everyone… says I’m a bad liar… and I told you directly I don’t know… and honestly I don’t care what you believe.”
“You’re welcome by the way. You might want to work on how you thank you people for helping you. You suck at it. You went from thank you isn’t enough to suspicious REAL fast. You’re acting like I did something wrong….and I didn’t.”
“I don’t know why I can do weird things.
I just can. I know how I can see a house though…
and it’s BECAUSE IT’S A HOUSE! They don’t really hide.
It’s not even a small cottage… it’s a full on house with a wraparound porch…
it’s very pretty. Still, that’s not something only I can do.
Everyone here is capable of seeing a house. I see several around me.”
I asked, “How about you, Ads? Si? Do you see those houses over there?” Both nodded.
I snorted, “You’d better watch out then, Yellow Hills Alpha doesn’t understand how you could possibly see them.
We have better eyesight than most, but hey…
let’s focus on how we all see large houses.
” Everly snorted and I shot her the first genuine smile I had for her… . since I’d actually met her .
Xander gripped my waist. Emmett raised an eyebrow saying, “This is my territory.” I snorted, “I know that… also it’s thanks to me that you don’t have to take it back… negotiate for your sister’s release… or a Warrior’s pup… who they would’ve made you choose between.”
“Which I do know that wouldn’t have happened…. Because you have the Hood and the allies on your side… but your wolf still would’ve agonized over being forced to choose… so would you. Which I stopped…and…”
Alpha Emmett pointed out, “That’s all true.
So is the fact that they came for you.” I shot back, “And how did they know where I was? This was a planned attack. Which means they should’ve attacked Black Mountain.
That’s where people think I am, is it not?
” Alpha Emmett opened and closed his mouth several times.
I titled my head, “So, here’s a tip free of charge… You have a mole. Again, you’re welcome.” Haley started laughing. Everyone looked at her. Haley shrugged, “What? She’s right. You’re not being very fucking grateful, Emmett.”
“I’ve just never seen someone who isn’t me get annoyed enough to point these things out to Alpha wolves. She’s not even backing down from your glare. You should look past my daughter in law though, Emmett.”
Huh? I linked Caine, “Is it you?” Caine said, “I’m looking at my mate. Consider that you have one and he’s literally behind you.” I turned to look at Xander and he was glaring daggers at Emmett. I winced because I knew they were friends, and I could handle this myself.
Alpha Emmett looked at Xander saying, “We do actually need these answers, and I’m not inclined to avoid the questions like the rest of you are.
” Freya snickered. Sierra linked, “SNAPPPPP! He called them out.” I replied, “That’s not shocking…
since he’s right. They do let me get away with not answering them, but Alpha Emmett has no reason to follow their lead on that. ”
Xander told him, “You need nothing from my Luna. You will not talk to her like she’s a suspect or a liar EVER again, Emmett.
” Cayden added, “She’s telling the truth anyway.
Trust me, she’s not wrong about the fact that you’ll know when she lies.
It will not even require your Hood training or skills.
You’ll just know.” I pursued my lips because I wanted to say something snarky, but Cayden was right.
Alpha Emmett sighed, “I am grateful for what she did, but some of that was...” He trailed off then said, “I guess the word we are going with is special.” I looked down because freaky was the word he probably wanted to say.
Freya said, “It’s not. Lightning told me what he wanted to say.” I asked, “And what was that?” She chuckled, “He had several words but amazing and impossible were the two he wanted to say.” Interesting. Seeing a house was definitely neither of those words.
Alpha Emmett continued, “My wolf is saying that we should let this go though. I didn’t suspect her of anything though. I’m just genuinely curious how she did all that.” He was really going to have to get over me seeing a house.
Alpha Emmett nodded to my watch, “What all does that thing do?” I blushed, “Umm... a lot of things. It’s a bit like a remote… I umm it’s… just it’s easier… to have it than a device… since no one thinks that it’s more than a watch so it’s… easier… to do stuff….”
Cayden snorted, “And we are going to chat about this watch I also have soon.” I frowned asking, “Aren’t we doing that right now?” Cayden shook his head and EJ started laughing. Elise was biting her lip. Ted smirked and asked, “How many people in this clearing do you have GPS trackers on?”
I could actually feel myself turning the color of a tomato. Dax started laughing. I said, “Umm... I mean… that’s... well… a long story….” Eric started laughing, “I could guess.” Sierra added, “Us. Obviously.” She was the best.
I added, “I mean technically speaking you guys could track me too… I have the watch on… it would tell you where I am so... I mean technically I’m tracking myself… that doesn’t make sense... but it’s actually true… but any of those guys could do it too.” Caine snorted.
I sighed, “Aren’t you going to mate with your mate…
. or something that’s not snorting at the things I say?
” Caine smirked. Judy whispered, “My room is….” Caine was already leading her away.
Dax smiled watching t hem along with the rest of our group.
It hurt him to wait, just as it had Caine.
Dax wanted his mate, but he put her needs above his.
Alpha Emmett asked, “Follow up question, how damn smart are you? T said you were a genius, but I thought that was a big brother saying, ‘hey my sister is a genius.’ He’s not though, is he?
You’re actually a genius. The watch alone says that.
So does using a company we vetted to the teeth to get bullet proof vests to us. ”
I frowned, “I mean, technically speaking yes, I am. I actually have something for you guys... we can talk about that later though.” Emmett shook his head chuckling, “We are screwed.” I mean what I had for him was helpful, so... he was not. Freya laughed in my head.
His sister, Emma, who was married to Beta Finn Frost, announced, “I like her.” Alpha Emmett laughed, “I do too.” Xander growled. Alpha Emmett smirked, “You do remember I’m happily mated, right? And that we are friends?”
EJ sighed, “Come on, man. You know he can’t mark his mate.
He’s an Alpha and with the things we saw happen to his mate, on top of another Alpha threatening to take her and do things, and I’ll go back to the fact that he can’t mark his mate.
You get it.” Alpha Emmett sighed, “I do.” He nodded to Xander who tensely nodded back.
