Chapter 14: Chapter 14~ Sherlock and Watson

Anna’s POV~

I link Falcon 🐺Baby..I am taking the ladies to the parlor. I am sure it is difficult for Robert to grovel in front of his she-wolves 🐺 Please don’t pop heads off! 🐺 Not promising shit! This bitch though! He kisses me and chuckles. I stand and smile “Ladies, let’s adjourn to the parlor and allow the men to speak freely” ..And this bitch retorts “I think I will stay here…as my father’s heir, I believe I should be party to all conversations….so I respond “You will join the rest of us ladies….it’s a good thing nobody’s paying you shit for what you believe because you’d be a turd in debt before dark! Now move it!” And I smile…so sweetly! We leave..to the sound of our men chuckling.

Reaching the parlor, I ask if anyone would like coffee..or an after dinner cocktail. Allison…apparently emboldened by the absence of the men’s influence remarks “Pretending to be a hostess..doesn’t make you one” I leave my link open…so the guys can hear..and know I haven’t killed anyone…though the jury is still out on this one! I smile and respond “And walking around with a stick up your ass doesn’t make you a popsicle…but here we are! Now…either sit and be sociable or go to your room. Either way, it’s no sweat off my ass!”

Luna Lyndsey snorts..“ you’re quite crass, aren’t you?” I smile “Possibly. But I don’t believe in pretense..or false niceties. I do believe in speaking my mind..and saying what I mean..which always leads to meaning what I say. Please…feel free to speak your mind. I appreciate honesty in all things!” She says “I wish I could be more like that! How refreshing it must be!” Allison snaps “Mother..you would do well to not step out of line “ and I snap back “Or what? Is your mother not allowed to voice her opinion? Does she not have the right to ger feelings ?” And Charlotte decides it’s time she’s heard “Our father doesn’t allow it! He will not be humiliated by the likes of you!” I can’t help the grin..“Oh look my ladies! Another country heard from! I was wondering about you! Had my doubts you could even talk. Didn’t want to ask..just in case you were a mute or something! But…seriously, how does that work? Your father doesn’t Allow your mother to speak? How archaic! Practically middle ages! Women seen and not heard, sort of thing. He knows it’s the 21st century, does he not?”

🐺 Babygirl…we are dying here! Robert and Peter are quite frustrated with our laughter! 🐺 My sweet man! These women are just easy targets! If they could stop being ignorant…I’d have nothing to work with here! 🐺 Goddess! I love you!

“How long have you and Robert been together? Please tell me how you met! I am such a sap for a romantic mates story!” I ask. She looks at her daughters and takes a moment “We aren’t true mates.. we agreed to be chosen mates because my father had fallen ill..and needed an Alpha to take over our pack.” I sat a minute..thinking how to play this…then I said “Oh…an advantageous pairing to join packs then? I can see the benefits of that.. as long as both parties agreed.” She frowned a little before she responded “No..no..Robert took over my pack. He didn’t have one.” And Allison jumped up yelling “Shut up Mother! You don’t tell this …this…vagabond our life’s history!” I couldn’t control it..I laughed so hard I fell off the sofa..my ladies were giggling “Vagabond? Seriously…good word! Not applicable…but still! Good word! Now…here’s a little fact for you…I am not a wanderer…I was raised in a beautiful home…by two loving parents…true mates, by the way..and I am Alpha..by rank and birthright! And, you little girl…need educated!” And this bitch! This bitch slapped me! Slapped. ME!

I jumped and heard “ANNALISE!” As my mate wrapped me up. I growled “Let me go!” He whispered “Don’t kill her baby! I don’t want to have to go all the way to Nevada to wipe them out!” And I chuckled.

I look at Allison…”Remember this, you are still breathing because my mate doesn’t want to wipe out your entire pack. It’s a long way to drive…or run…and quite honestly, I’m not in the mood to allow you to bleed on me! “ and Robert screamed in my face “Threaten my daughter again and you will pay!” And I punched him in the throat. Just not in the mood now!

Falcon looked at Robert and said “Ever threaten my Luna again and I will take your head. Your daughter made first contact and my mate is fully within her rights to kill her! SHE IS MY LUNA! In slapping her…your daughter’s life is forfeit! As is yours for threatening her!” And I stood up…saying “Okay…Okay..let’s everyone take a deep breath. Obviously, this meeting is a bust. Allison, I accept your apologies that I know is coming.. and let’s revisit the reason for this visit tomorrow.”

“I need a fucking drink! Anyone care to join me?” And Falcon follows me back to the conference room.. I grab my drink and flop on the sofa…just trying to unwind a minute… I look up to ask what Robert had to say…and they’re all looking at me “What??” And Brady lost it! “You are my best friend! I have never laughed so hard in my life! A turd in debt before dark??? Oh my Goddess!” I shrugged “She was trying to goad me..and I know it’s because she wants to die! I thought I was behaving…she slapped me! Apparently, she felt insulted! Who knew!? Anyway…did Robert spill his guts?”

Falcon responded “He seems genuinely concerned about these random attacks..but I don’t see it being anything more than testing his mettle.. so I’m on the fence about it. I may send ten warriors to assess the situation, but not fifty!” I say “It’s nothing to do with the Culver situation.. it’s not his M.O. .. He’s the run in…kill everyone…burn buildings…and get gone! …More of a hit it and quit it..not randomly attack every few days!” Falcon nods “I agree. Going to keep an eye on his pack..but I haven’t decided if it affects us.”

I ask “Did you know Robert isn’t Alpha? Lyndsey’s father was…and I believe Lyndsey carries the mantle. They are also not true mates…which is probably why he thinks auctioning off his kids is okay. Although…they don’t seem bothered by it, either! Weird fucking family. I don’t trust them!”

Axel agrees “something is fishy. Anna…let’s hack his computer. I want to see if Culver has contacted him too!” I jump up and say “I’ll be Sherlock!!! You’re my Watson! Fetch me another scotch, my good man!” And my mate looks at me grinning….”There’s my geek!” And kisses me.
