Chapter 14~This day started out so well..
Sebastian’s POV~
The girls went to meet the tailor with their dress designs, so here the four men sit..brainstorming again. Cory looked up and said “Alpha, if I may” and I replied “of course you may..and you don’t have to say if I may. If you keep being polite it just causes a light to shine on these two meatheads that proves just how impolite they are.” They both said “Hey!” at the same time and I laughed..
Then I said..”You can jump in with anything anytime. And please..call me Sebastian!” Cory beamed at me! He’s a good kid! He said “Yes Alph…I mean Sebastian…. My theory is Ezekiel is the planner. If your father is involved, I would bet on him being the bankroller…I am wracking my brain about Somers.. It’s frustrating because all I keep coming up with is he’s an idiot.” We all laughed.
I asked Kaiden “Where are we on security for the coronation? All the talk of rogues is getting me antsy. I should have gone with Somers but he didn’t ask for aid… would have liked to get my hands on a rogue or two. Asked a few questions..”
Kaiden laughs and said “Sure…ask…because that’s how we say torture now..I have added 22 cameras.. I have alarms on all the windows and doors. Luna and Callista are outfitting the bunkers in case of an attack. Brayden? Where are you and Cory on training?”
And Brayden takes over where Kaiden left off “We have added two hours training a day…Have been running through worst case scenarios…everything from attacks at the border…to ambush from the inside. I have arranged 200 troops to be on watch and guard in, out and around the castle. Cory has doubled sentries in the towers…and tripled border patrol on rotating schedules so no one can figure set times. Kaiden and I worked and cleaned drones all night so they are ready to deploy. We believe launching them the night before sporadically the night before and makntain flight throughout the day of the coronation’.
I sat there with such pride in my heart! These are my brothers! They always have had my back! I will damned sure have theirs!I sat up straighter.. said “I am so proud of everything you are implementing! I will rest easier with the preparation you have made. Now! Let’s discuss Cory’s news. I believe you’re right! And Ezekiel is involved…I don’t know if he knows his half sister is a demigoddess. She thinks he doesn’t. Not a chance I’m willing to take.. as soon as the coronation is over…I want paws on the ground! I want these rogue cells located and taken out. I don’t want to start losing our people because a bunch of rabid rogues think they can take on the kingdom!”
We are heading down to dinner and I hear wild giggling coming from the kitchen. I hold my finger to my lips and we sidle close to the double doors to listen and peek at the girls.. I see Arabella holding her sides and laughing at Callista who is covered…literally, covered..but she’s laughing too. Kaiden links me..”what in the fuck did they do?” I linked “I have no idea..but they are having fun! They needed a stress reliever “ and Brayden links “they’ve relieved their stress all right..if those 3 wine bottles are any indication!” I looked and said “Fuck! They’re drunk!” And as we listened..it just got funnier
Arabella says “you said it would work!” Callista shoots back “you shouldn’t have listened. I don’t know how to bake!” Arabella says “you couldn’t have told me that?” And Callista says “I did! 5 times Bella!” And the whole time they are laughing. I decided I wanted to know what was so funny. So I stepped into the kitchen and Arabella spots me and runs at me..jumping into my arms..and says “We’re baking cakes!” I said “Yum! I can’t wait to try it! What kind?” She says “floor cake”
And now I’m dumbfounded…I look at the chef and she points down..on the other side of the island. And I step around the island. And sure enough..there’s a cake on the floor. And we hear Callista say “I think we should call it an upside down cake..because you know..it’s upside down..on the floor “ and I am doing my best not to lose it..but the guys are losing their battle…
I said “well. How did it end up there? And Atabella was back to arguing with Calista so I opened the link and asked the chef to explain…she starts laughing and links “I will try. They had finished outfitting the bunkers and had headed here for Queen Luna to make desserts. I offered them a glass of wine…one glass, I swear! At the bottom of the second bottle, Luna decided on strawberry creamcheese cake with vanilla frosting. The mixing of the batter was done at the same time the third bottle of wine was.. Luna tossed the flour can to Callista and asked her to put it away…Callista didn’t catch it.. It caught her, as it was flying past her. The cakes came out of the oven fine…and they decided it was time for frosting. Luna said it was still too warm..and the frosting would melt….Callista thought it was cool enough….they argued back and forth and Luna frosted the cake anyway. And it was still too warm…and the frosting melted..and the layers slid off one another and landed where you see it. And they started laughing..and finished the fourth bottle of wine.”
And we all lost our shit! It was just too funny. And I think it was a stress reliever that we all needed! I look down at my squeaky mouse and she’s snoring peacefully. I walked out of the kitchen to put my mate to bed! And to think this day started out so well…
