One-Hundred Thirty: Casualties of War
Mykayla
It's been a week since the prank war ended. However, we are still finding glitter everywhere. No matter how many times anyone vacuums, it's still there. I thought we almost had it gone until Dustin and Tyrell decided to get each
other. They thought the bombs had coloured powder in them. Nope, they were glitter bombs. I have to say they looked very pretty and shiny afterwards. I laughed hard. The looks on their faces when they both realized it was
glitter were priceless. Of course, Bryn got it all on video. I swear these men here can act so immature. The prank war has died down for the most part. A few pranks are still happening. Seth is still pouting. He has not forgiven
Mykenzie and Kylani for sending them back to heaven. There are so many pictures of everyone that got pranked good. Jordyn still goes up to Zak, pats him on the head, and tells him he is a good wolficorn. I am almost positive
Kylani is behind that. He did make a pretty wolficorn.
âI hate you,â Zak tells Kylani
âKarma is a bitch.â She replies.
âWhy is there still glitter everywhere?â Dustin asks.
Seriously, is he asking that? He is one of the people to blame for glitter still being everywhere.
âBecause you and Tyrell decided to throw bombs at each other,â I tell him.
âWe thought they were full of colored powder.â He groans.
I just roll my eyes. I go back to my wedding planning. It is getting closer. Just a couple more weeks. Which makes me wonder if he will be shiny at our wedding. I just want it to happen without any issues.
âDo I need to change the colors at the last minute to shiny colors? Since you might still be a shiny happy person for our wedding?â I ask him.
I don't get a verbal answer. I get a glare, and he turns away from me. I just laugh at him and kiss his cheek. I swear these men pout more than the kids. Oh, the kids have loved all the glitter. I wonder if more stray glitter bombs
are lying around the packhouse. Dustin, Brighton, Jason, Donte, and I are sitting in the living room when we hear a squeal. That's when two little boys come running through covered in glitter. I start laughing. Satyira comes
walking in, also covered in glitter. Dominick and Xaydyn are laughing. Satyira not so much. The guys lose it when Draydon walks in right after. He is definitely the shiniest dragon I have ever seen. I guess there are some glitter
bombs around.

Nigel is due to come back today. I am standing in the shower, trying to get all this fucking glitter off. Leave it to those two troublemakers to find a glitter bomb left from our prank war. I have to admit that it was fun. I have never
laughed so hard. Everyone got pranked. Well, almost everyone. The only two off-limits were Leah and Nymyra because they were pregnant. I love how Chris thinks he is immune from that shit. Well, his sisters got him. He was
not as immune as he thought. I am going to talk to Nigel by myself and see what he thinks about the whole using one of our dragons as bait. I want to see what he thinks before I talk to Xion and Blake. We are still trying to find
Haze. We have a general location, but we can't get an exact location until he gets his mark near the fire. I walk into my room and hear a gasp. I look up and see Satyira sitting on the bed. She also got covered in glitter. Luckily
she has been able to get most of it off. Her eyes drift up and down my body. I give her a sexy smirk. We have done pretty much everything except sex. I know she isn't ready, and I will not force her. I told her at the beginning
that she would be the one to set the pace of this. I pull on a pair of jeans and slip a t-shirt over my head.
âI liked the towel better,â Satyira says.
âI bet you did. Naughty little fae.â I tell her.
We walk downstairs to find Mykayla, Chris, Seth, Zane, Deklan, and Nigel. The three toddlers are sitting at the table eating breakfast. Mykenzie and Kylani come walking. They have Kaycen and Dimitrus with them. Mykenzie is
carrying Dimitrus. He loves his aunt. Kaycen is a huge flirt. He flirts with all the girls. That boy is going to be a handful when he gets older. I am surprised that out of all four that none of them has wings. They just get the boys set
when there is a loud thump and a bunch of yelling outside. I figure Phantom is in the pool again. He tends to sneak into it when Dustin is at work. It drives Dustin crazy. I am pretty sure that if he has to replace another filter, he
might shave Phantom bald. The commotion outside gets louder, followed by lots of growling and a loud roar. Not as loud as he can, but loud. Satyira stays with the kids as Mykenzie and Kylani run outside. When I hear them
growl, I know we need to intervene. That or someone dies. The rest of us rush outside to find all of the animals around something and the girl's eyes glowing. No red yet, but it's coming. Mykayla has everybody back off and shit.
I hear a groan from inside the circle and see Mykenzie and Kylani dunk under Phantom. Damn, I forget how huge he can be. Reece runs up, telling everyone to calm down. I can hear mumbling from the girls. What the hell is
going on? That's when I catch a scent that I haven't smelled in years. There is no way. We still couldn't get an exact location. The animals start to move away, and Haze is in the middle of the circle lying on the ground.

This is not how I was expecting my day to go. I am currently sitting in the rec room. I look around and see my brother, Xion, and Blake. I am glad to see them again after so long. I knew they were clearing out the building I had
been kept in. Not sure why. I knew Asmoday wasn't at this building. I had been moved once, and the asshole that was in charge of this building seemed to forget I was there half the time. While Asmoday counted dragons as
special, this asshole didn't. I really didnât care. The less I had to see him, the better it was. I wasn't able to shift into my dragon due to the cell being equipped with dampeners. I knew something was up when I heard screaming,
and they started clearing out the cells with all of us in them. Well, except for me. Then I heard the explosion. Well, shit, they are blowing up the building with me in it. The next thing I knew, I was on something incredibly soft, and
it smelt familiar. Then I was on the ground, and all hell was breaking loose. I heard growls and roaring, which sounded very familiar. Then I heard two different growls. I knew those growls. Those two growls made every other
growl stop.
âDragonflies?â I whisper out.
âYes, it's us; stay still,â Kylani tells me.
I opened my eyes, and there they were. My two favourite goddesses. Damn, they are a sight for sore eyes. Still fucking gorgeous as ever. I look around from where I lay on the ground and see Phantom (well, his legs, at least)
and Jade. When everything calmed down, I was helped into the house and given some food and something to drink. It takes terrible, but Imyra says it'll help me regain my strength and help my headache. I give her a smile, but I
know better than to argue with her. Learned that years ago after a hard slap to the back of my head. Everyone wanted to know what happened, but I only wanted to tell this story one time.
After dinner, we headed back to the rec room. I was shocked to see so many kids. I knew right off the bat that two belonged to Mykenzie and Kylani. The one little girl looked exactly like Kylani. The one boy looked like Reecie.
That had me cracking the fuck up. I guess Dustin's dad had the same name, so they had to give him a nickname. I explained what happened all those years ago.
âThey have been moving all their stock to new locations for a while. The only reason I was left was that the guy that was in charge didnât think I was anything special. The building was blown up when Phantom pulled me out.â I
tell them.
âHow did he find me anyway?" I ask.
âWe had them searching past locations where we knew Asmoday had been. Apparently, they went back to one, and the idiot decided to use it again. He caught your scent as the explosion started.â Mykenzie says.
âThe explosion must have mixed up your scent enough for him to pick up,â Alexis explains.
Damn if she wasn't a sight. God, I missed my best friend. I was happy that she had found her mate. She had introduced us, and I actually liked the guy. I can tell he loves her and treats her well. He also apparently has kept her
from unintentionally killing herself. I love Alexis, but damn she is klutzy. I had spent some time talking to him earlier, and he is a good guy. I never thought I would approve of any of the guys who liked these girls. I had been
there for a few of the past guys, and they turned out to be pieces of shit. I was glad that all seven had found their mates. I was surprised at Kylani's. The fact that he was the beta and the fact that he looked exactly like
Dominick. It actually made me sad. Dominick was a great guy and did everything possible to protect the triplets. Dimitri explained why Kaleb looked exactly the same. Leave it to Dominick to do something like that.
âWell hello, there little one,â I tell the little girl.
âThat's Jordyn. She's mine.â Kylani tells me.
I went to pick her up until one of the little boys stood in front of her, giving me what I guess was supposed to be a glare. I chuckle at him. I can see that they must be mates.
âSorry about him,â Dustin tells me.
âIt's cool. I would be protective of her if she were my mate too. She's going to attract the boys like flies when she gets older.â I tell him.
âYeah, I know. Not looking forward to that.â Kaleb grumbles.
I laugh at him. I can tell he is not looking forward to that time. I look around and am amazed at what I see. I always thought wolf packs stuck to their own, but not this pack. There are wolves(obviously), bears, dragons,
werecats, immortals, and my favourite set of triplets. Shit, they even have some humans. That shocked me more than anything. They explained that three of the guys had found their mates in the pack, so they let them stay. I
had to laugh when they told me about the recent prank war. The pictures they showed me were classic. I did feel sorry for Seth. The girls sent me once with Chris. Yeah, that was weird and terrible. Apparently, they like me up
there. So I understand Seth's pain. I went once and never went again. I am just glad to be out of that hell hole. They tell me what has been happening. I am more than happy to help them get Asmoday. That asshole needs to be
brought down.
