The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series)

One - Hundred Twenty: Quiet Time

One-Hundred Twenty: Quiet Time

Daniylla

It had been quiet for the last two months. The only excitement was when the animals finally narrowed

down the area where Haze might be. Like normal, they came to Mykenzie and Kylani first. Those two

took off for two days. We, of course, followed. We didn’t find Haze, but we did find a previous location

that looked like it had been used recently. We also found hunters. They thought we were witches, and a

fight broke out. I have to give the hunters credit. They put up a good fight, but they had no idea who

they were really up against. In the end, we ended up capturing two of the hunters, and well, let's just

say there wasn’t enough left of the other eleven to bury. That is where we are right now—getting

cleaned up by mom and yelled at by the guys. Seriously, so what if Alexis has a sprained ankle? She

always sprains her ankle when we get in a fight. Have they not paid attention to how clumsy she is?

Both Leah and I have sprained our wrists, and I have a long cut from my shoulder to my hip. Mom had

to place a few stitches in the middle of it. Jailynn and Bryn are limping, and Bryn also had to have a few

stitches.

“If this cut ruins my tattoo, someone is gonna die,” Kylani announces.

“You’re kidding, right? You have a gash down your side and are worried about your fucking tattoo?”

Kaled exclaims.

This actually makes me laugh. Of course, they would be more concerned about their tattoos than

wounds. I wonder if they got my tattoos? Bastards. I try to look, but Mom hits me on the back of the

head. At the moment, Chris and Mykayla are tending to Mykenzie and Kylani. They both got a few cuts

along with their wings. The blood in their wings is highly poisonous. Chris, Imyra, Rye, and Mykayla are

the only ones who won’t be affected if they come in contact with it. Marcus is pissed, and I guess he

has the right to be. Leah is pregnant. I think that is why Mykenzie and Kylani are as bad as they are.

They made sure to keep themselves in between the hunters and Leah. So out of all of us, Leah is

actually barely hurt. I think she may have a few bruises.

“Marcus, I am fine. I might have a few bruises. Imyra has already checked me, and the baby is fine.”

Leah tells him.

He grumbles something and places his hand on her belly. I start to laugh until mom tugs on the stitches

a little harder than needed. I give her a dirty look, and I get a smack on the back of my head. I turn

around and look forward, which means I am looking at Nate. Who is, by the way, not happy at the

moment? I give him a sweet smile, but apparently, right now, that is not working. I have a feeling that

we will be having a talk later. Chris is standing there, giving his sisters the stink eye. I start laughing

because they are ignoring him. I have a feeling that all of us are going to get a talk later from these

men.

“At least we caught two of them.” Mykenzie comments.

This earns her a glare from every one of the guys. She, of course, like normal, ignores them

completely. They continue to tend to our wounds. I am pretty sure mom has said something to dad. I

had no idea that he would be showing up and giving me a lecture.

What the ever-loving hell were these girls thinking? They should have said something to us, and we

could have checked out the location. Of course, that obviously makes way too much sense to these

women. Nope, they have to do this on their own. Then out of everything, they decide to fight with some

hunters. I just want to smack them all and would if I knew they wouldn’t hit back even if they caught a

couple of the hunters.

“You are grounded to the bed or couch until your ankle heals. Stay in the house.” I tell Alexis.

“Seriously, I am not staying in the house all the time. You do realize that I can move around without

walking, right?” She asks me. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Don’t care,” I tell her.

I don’t really know how well my threat is going to work. I really hope she listens. I know she wants to

find Haze, but I also need her not to hurt either. She looks at me, and I give her a stern look. She drops

her head and lets out a sigh. I hope that means no more running off and getting into fights. This woman

is going to send me to an early grave.

Marcus

I have half a mind to sedate all seven of these girls so they stay put and not wander off. Thankfully

Leah is not hurt besides a few places that are going to turn into bruises tomorrow. I guess I have to

thank Mykenzie and Kylani for protecting her when shit hit the fan. I really do wish that they would not

have gone searching themselves, and I can guess all the other guys with the same. I thought Kaleb

was going to throw Kylani over his shoulder when she commented about her tattoo. Not that I am

surprised.

“Hey baby, I am sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you.” Leah tells me.

“I know, princess, but it did. I know the fight wasn’t planned, but shit Leah I was so worried.” I explain.

“Well, both of us are ok. I am pretty sure that we have all decided that if we find another location that,

we are going to let a few of you guys deal with it.” She says to me.

We most certainly will be dealing with it. I am definitely going to talk to Chris to see if there is some way

we can get those beasts not to run to the girls. That seems to be the main problem here.

Brighton

It’s been three days since the girls returned from trying to find Haze and the fight. We have yet to talk to

the hunters. Honestly, I would rather just leave them down there to rot or kill them. Hunters usually

never have anything helpful to say. Currently, the girls are all resting and recovering from their little

encounter while we are all here in Marcus’s house talking. I am just glad that Natayla was not with

them. I am somewhat surprised she wasn’t; I know she can more than handle herself. Plus, I know

Mykenzie and Kylani would never let anything happen to her.

“Is there any way we can make sure those animals don’t go straight to the girls?” I ask.

“Unfortunately no. They will go straight to them every time.” Chris said.

Well crap, then we need to find another way to locate this guy. I don’t want another encounter like the

last one. I am sure the rest of the guys agree. We have other animals, but they are all still babies. So

they won’t be helpful.

“What about asking that warlock?” I ask.

The room goes dead silent. Well, shit, maybe I should have kept my mouth shut. That makes me slide

down in my chair. I hear Chris let out a sigh.

“I was thinking the same thing. I really don’t like the guy, but I think he might be able to help,” Chris

admits.

That is not what I thought he was going to say. I know that he hates him and thinks he is shady as hell.

I don’t know any witches or warlocks.

“I actually know a warlock that I trust. I am not sure he knows much about the black market, but I can

see if he can help.” Chris admits.

Well, that is not what I thought he would say. I am not surprised that he knows a warlock. These three

seem to know pretty much everyone in the supernatural world. We decide to let Chris talk to his friend

and see what the guy says. As long as it keeps those girls from running all over everywhere then I

could care less who helps us.
