DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 8 ~ Dinner AND a Show
Evander’s POV ~
It’s been two weeks since the airstrike. There have been no more. But they ground strikes have stepped up. I contacted Dad and Zander to take in some refugees. Now Luna Lake is overflowing..
I sent warriors down to help Zander train the influx of new warriors to protect the Lake. So far, they have been lucky. But we can’t take any chances with the Lake.
Dad and Mom have been on conference calls continually.. making sure our people are holding tight.. and are unified. We are doing what we can to make sure the humans don’t suffer unduly. Pogue only has one agenda.. to end supernaturals.. with no concern to his own people.
Adrianna ran over to me with Avery.. “Babe! Watch!” She sets him on his feet.. and he toddles a couple steps, then plops on his butt. She claps and picks him up.. kissing him “That’s Daddy’s big boy.. aren’t you squishy cheeks!?” I laughed. She’s such a good mom!
Lincoln is sparring with Erik.. I watch as Erik takes our cousin to school. Literally beating his ass in every discipline. And Lincoln is hating every second of it.
Blake walks over and says “Pretty sad when a Beta beats an Alpha’s ass.” I laughed and said “He is a product of a spoiled, selfish witch of a woman, after all. He seems to have inherited several of her characteristics. Mom is so disappointed in them. Uncle Caleb can’t stand them.. and Nicholas told me he doubts he will remain as Beta of Sacred Moon, once this is all over.”
Blake groans “Damn! Makes you get all up in the feels for poor Anderson. I mean.. what did he ever do to have such bad luck with that kind of family?” I laughed “Dude! He rejected his true mate! Apparently, that’s what happens!”
Adrianna came back.. the baby had to go down for his nap.. “What’s the topic of the day?” Blake grins “Lincoln.. and his poor, pitiful ass getting handed to him again and again.”
She turned and watched a few minutes, then said “Holy shit! Dude sucks!” Blake busted out laughing.. just as we heard “You stupid fuck! You broke my nose!” Erik was doubled over in laughter..
I walked over and told Lincoln to go home. Adrianna hadn’t stopped laughing. Blake was trying to shush her.. but it didn’t help when Erik went over and high fived her.
Later, at dinner.. Mom was feeding Avery and we were all discussing the ground strikes.. and how it is coming to be time to put a stop to them..
Before anyone could stop her.. Amelia walked straight to my brother and hit him in the head with a metal water pitcher.. splitting his forehead open, as she screamed “You piece of shit! Do not ever lay a hand on my son again.”
I hadn’t even blinked and my mate was dragging Amelia out the door.. Allison screaming at Mom that she couldn’t let her sorry excuse of a daughter in law hurt her sister.. while Anderson sat.. quietly enjoying dinner. Caleb and Naomi were laughing and my dad just leaned over and handed Avery a piece of banana.
I followed my mate.. as did Blake and Adrian.. and I heard “You dare *slap* lay a hand *slap* on the prince of the realm? *slap* It’s past time someone teaches you some fucking manners, bitch! *Slap* And I am just the person to do it!” And she proceeded to beat the shit out of her.
When she was satisfied her physical point was made, she leaned over Amelia and quietly said “All your pathetic life. All you have ever done is run people down… and all you succeeded by doing that, you lost everything. You lost your sister.. your twin.. the one person who was supposed to be by your side your whole life. You lost your brother. The man who protected you and defended you in all your selfish endeavors. You lost the love of a good man. A man who sacrificed the happiness that should have been his with his true mate.. whom he threw away for Your pitiful ass! You lost the love of your father.. You lost any respect anyone might have had for you. You lost your true mate.. In your selfishness, you lost sight of what is truly important. The only two people that can even stand your stupid ass, are just like you! Your mother molded you into the disgusting, disgraceful waste of space you are.. she made you over, into her image.. and then you, in turn, did the same thing to your own child! You make me sick!”
She turned and walked back inside and sat down.. eating her dinner, like nothing happened. Blake asked “Feel better?” She smiled and said “Much! Thank you!”
Amelia came in.. not looking at any of us, and sat beside Anderson. Lincoln sat glaring at Adrianna.. until she said “Keep staring, you little bitch! I got no problem dragging your ass out to the woodshed and giving you the whatfor, too!”
Mom laughed.. really laughed and said “She always means what she says, Linc. My girl don’t play!” Dad nods and says “She held back on your mother.. by a lot! Else she’d be dead!” Naomi giggled and said “Facts.. right there!”
Adrianna looked up and said “I would like to apologize. My temper seldom gets away from me. When that shedemon attacked my little brother.. I saw red! I’m sorry if I interrupted anyone’s meal.”
Anderson said “Didn’t bother my meal at all. It’s not often I get to enjoy dinner AND a show!”
Everyone laughed their asses off.. all but three people, that is.
