Eliza POV
It’s been two months since Zara was here to tell us about Donovan and that he died. We have been getting everything ready, training a hand full of wolves and getting ready for a war. We don’t know is Crystal is fox, but we are preparing as if she is one. Taking her down will be hard enough, but taking Zanian down will be hard. He is born to be king, and he has the strongest wolf we’ve seen in over 300 years.
“what are you thinking?” Mario asked when he came into the lounge.
“of what is to come, Zanian knows who he is now, and Crystal will want justice for her mother.”
“we will be ready for them, and whatever they throw at us. Just stick to the plan.”
“what plan Mario? There is no plan. How many more will have to die?”
“as many as it takes Eliza, Odin was getting out of control and he had to be stopped.”
“it’s not just about him Mario, it is about everything, we are the reason that he was the way he was. We should have never tried to take his fox side away.”
“it wasn’t our fault, the witch that helped us didn’t know what she was doing and she paid for what she has done.”
“I didn’t know we have Fox in our bloodline.”
“it doesn’t matter Eliza, but why do you hate foxes so much? Killing them has been banned for years.”
“it doesn’t matter Mario, because my hatred might have just caused us our lives and the Kingdom.”
Mario looked at me and gave a small sight, I never told anyone why I hate foxes so much and I lied when I said I didn’t know about there being fox in my bloodline, because my grandfather was a fox and my father got the fox genes. When Odin was born I waited until he shifted on his 12th birthday. When he shifted and he had two different color eyes I knew. So I took him to a witch who said she can help me get rid of the fox without killing him.
She messed up, the fox died but every trait of the fox stayed behind, he didn’t have any emotions, he was always challenging everyone, he wanted power and more of it every day.Many paragraphs are missing. Read the complete book on J o=b n-I b . c (o) m . He was mischievous and never listened, everything we say he would do the exact opposite. We couldn’t trust him anymore so even when he came of age he never became King, and that is the worst thing you can do to a fox. Deny them power.
“Eliza, sitting here chasing old ghosts will not get you anywhere.”
“Don’t you have something to do?”
“yes, and you are still my mate like it or not, so you will be my first priority.” Mario said and sat down next to me again. He took my hand in his and said, “I know you are stressed and scared, but there is no way around this anymore.”
“I know, and I am done with lying Mario, maybe it is time for us to step down. We’ve been doing this for over 60 years now and I am tired.”
“we can always just leave, go somewhere where no one will ever find us and live our lives without stress and trouble.”
“no, we are King and Queen and we will do this the right way no matter the outcome. We had a happy life and we did our best”
Mario leaned in and kissed my temple. “Together.” He said and then left me alone with my thoughts.
Zane POV
Okay, so the scaring Deliah didn’t go as planned… it went down better…
If I didn’t have my phone on record no one would have ever believed me. the wait was so worth it and the punishment too.
Although I don’t think so now.
“seeing that you are done Zane, the grass needs to be cut, all around” Chrystal said when she walked passed me.
I’m feeling like a little kid who just got the biggest candy basket of all times. So this is how it happened.
{Yesterday}
When Jeff came running out the kitchen like a scared cat I knew he is going to the hospital, so that didn’t bother me, about thirty minutes later Zanian came out and he looked bad. He bent over on the grass and it looks like he might be sick. I walked closer to him and he was white in the face. We sat down and he began telling me what happened, I know I shouldn’t have, but when he was done I was rolling on the grass as I laughed. No wonder he looked so sick. I patted his back and we just sat there until he felt better.
“where is Deliah and them now?” I asked trying to keep my voice even.
“I don’t know, and I’m not going to find out.” Zanian said and he started looking green again.
“how long do you think it’ll take before all this goes away?” Zanian asked and I knew what he meant, but I didn’t know what to tell him.
“well, three months maybe less now.”
“so you want to tell me until she gives birth?”
“yup, and this is just the beginning of everything.” I said and Zanian literally fell backwards closing his eyes. I couldn’t help but laugh at him. He turned and looked at me sideways, “you just wait until Tracy is pregnant, then we’ll be the ones laughing.”
My laughter died right there, I looked at Zanian and said, “don’t joke about things man, that is not cool.”
He looked at me confused and as if he realized something he just laughed at me. “it’s that bad huh?”
“what, she wants to wait until she is 100% sure I will not reject her, or that I’m running some illegal businesses or something.”
“well, are you?” Zanian asked and he had mockery written all over his face. He got up and said he has work to do and left me.
I was sitting there all quiet and calm when I heard screaming from the house, I jumped up and ran in meeting Zanian half way. we followed the scream and came to a stop outside the Entertainment room on the top floor.
When we opened the door we burst out laughing at the scene in front of us. The small couch was tipped over with its back on the floor with Crystal and Deliah’s feet hanging in the air. There is popcorn scattered all over the floor and when we looked closer we could see Deliah and Crystal was wet from the face down. Zanian and I was laughing so hard that we couldn’t even move to help them, we were just standing there holing our stomachs as the laughing cramps started.
I looked up at the TV and laughed even harder. They are watching “Lights Out” again.
“if you two are not ganna help then just get out.” Chrystal said and she sounded mad. Zanian walked closer and all that got him was, “don’t touch me Zanian.” and the same with Deliah. He came back with his hands raised and left the room laughing as he goes.
Instead of leaving I started picking up the popcorn from the floor then went to help Deliah and Chrystal. I was getting it from the both of them, but at least I could help them. When the room was clean and popcorn free, they switched off the movie and went to the kitchen.
After we had dinner, Chrystal made everyone a cup of her famous hot chocolate and went to sit outside. No one knows why she always sits outside looking at the stars and I don’t think anyone has asked her before.
Deliah said goodnight to everyone. Jeff is still busy so Chrystal is walking her home. I didn’t say anything and followed them at a distance. I can’t wait for them to open that door. I tried not laughing, but found it almost impossible with my brain conjuring up images and scenes of how this might go.
I watched them walk into the house switching in the kitchen light, I didn’t switch the bedroom light off because the Glow in the dark paint needs the light to glow.
Deliah got into bed and Chrystal said goodnight. Standing by the light switch with her back to the mirror she switched off the light. Deliah jumped up and shouted for the light, Chrystal switched it on again looking at Deliah confused.
“what is it D?”
Deliah tried speaking, but nothing came out. she started shivering and threw the blanket over her face.
Chrystal switched the light off again and walked out, just as she got to the door she heard dealiah crying and went back. When she looked up and saw the mirror she switched the light on faster than ever before.
Deliah looked at her and asked, “you saw it too?”
Chrystal nodded her head and looked at deliah, She switched the light off again and they both screamed. And I mean SCREAMED. Chrystal ran over to deliah and jumped into bed with her.
I was rolling on the ground crying as I laughed. I heard footsteps and knew that everyone heard them. I was laughing so hard my stomach cramped and I had tears streaming down my face like there is no end to them.
When I opened my eyes Zanian and Jeff was standing over me and they tried not to laugh, but look serious. And that was my downfall I couldn’t stop laughing.
The next morning I went to take my phone and it was on 3% “I hope it saved the video I said and ran to my room for my charger.”
I went through the video and everything is there even the ending that I missed.
Chrystal and Deliah sat under the blankets and debated on who is going to look. Deliah’s head came out and went back in and that is when the crying and shivering started.
My stomach is so sore from all the laughing, but there I went again and had a laughter attack.
“Zane!” my laughter died and I swallowed hard.
“Zane, get down here now.” Okay, maybe that wasn’t such a good idea, two pregnant hormonal females equals my death. I thought to myself as I opened my door and walked down.
I held my hands up raising them higher the closer I got to a very angry looking Deliah and Chrystal.
“okay so, we will not kill you.” They said and I relaxed
“but..” and here it comes. That but…
“you will spring clean this whole house, from top to bottom including the kitchen, you will make piles with the fallen leaves and pick them up. When you are done there will be one more job, but you will only know what that is when you are done.”
I swallowed audibly and wished they could have killed me instead.
Scaring pregnant women… and the mates laughing of it… Bad moon goddess. If they lost the babies, they wouldn’t be laughing. Asdholes.
