Chapter 41: Sount
Chapter 41: Sænt
Third Person Calix was preparing to work his irresistible charm on this human bartender. He sighed to himself, making sure she heard him. His
mind–linked his brothers to be quiet and let him do the talking. They scowled at him but were quiet. Danny and Chance were on either end of the triplets. All five were leaning on the bar with a beer in front of them each. Destiny, the human bartender, turned to Calix when
he sighed.
“Can I get you arıything else?” Asked Destiny.
Calix frowned and shook his head. He put his head in his hands. Bartenders were therapists who happened to sell and mix drinks. They couldn‘t resist the troubled.
“Wanna talk about it?” Asked Destiny.
The last handsome werewolf she had befriended was being a jerk today. She should really stay clear of all of them but she decided what the heck? This one seemed sweet. There was something unassuming about his demeanour, something safe and gentle. He smiled
slightly and shrugged.
“I‘m all ears,” said Destiny, pulling up a chair on her side of the bar and sitting with her chin propped up on her hands.
“I‘m trying to find this girl,” said Calix. “The Luna, Chasity!” Said Destiny. Everyone on the pack lands knew she was missing. Even several neighbouring packs were
aware,
“I do want to find my mate but I was trying to find someone I heard was in town but it‘s probably a stupid rumour,” muttered Calix.“ You‘re going to think it‘s so dumb.”
“I won‘t!” Promised Destiny.
“You see, I‘m a huge fan of that model competition show where they pick a couple girls from several packs across werewolf country,” said Calix, his eyes lighting up.
Destiny snorted with laughter, covering her mouth. “She–wolf Supermodel Search?”
“That‘s the one!” Said Calix. He blushed. “I know, don‘t judge me.”
“I can‘t imagine an alpha watching that,” giggled Destiny.
“It‘s Baby Boy Calix‘s favourite show!” Exclaimed Felix with a smirk.
“He never misses a single episode!” Added Alex.
Calix glared at his elder brothers. He‘d asked them both to be quiet.
“Anyway,” said Calix. “The retired supermodel who coaches them was in town supposedly.”
Destiny nodded emphatically. “She doesn‘t coach anymore though! She moved on to host a show on the Chomp Network.”
“Snack Pack Attack!” Exclaimed Chance. “I love that show!”
“What‘s that about?” Wondered Danny out loud.
“Pairs of chefs from different packs compete. Every episode they have to make a snack in record time and the judges pick the best
one…” began Chance.
“I don‘t watch that,” said Calix quickly. “I only watch Deidre Binx‘s show!” Insisted Calix. Destiny‘s eyes lip up. “Deidre Binx!” “Yeah, that‘s her name!” said Calix.
“She was here!” Whispered Destiny excitedly, jumping up and down a little.
Calix‘s eyes widened. “Is she still in town? Do you think she‘d sign an autograph for me?”
Destiny paused, thinking about it. “Her boyfriend or whoever he is…he‘s moody. He‘s pretty grumpy,” mumbled Destiny.
“Was he mean to you?” Asked Calix.
“He was nice at first but he showed up today acting like a jerki” Said Destiny.
“Where is he?” Asked Calix.
“Oh, he left,” mumbled Destiny, wiping a wet beer mug with a dish towel. “So if he‘s in town then Deidre Binx is too,” Calix concluded.
“I shouldn‘t tell you this,” whispered Destiny. “But I know where they‘re staying!”
Calix leant in. Destiny whispered in his ear. A smile slowly spread onto the youngest alpha‘s face.
This was the address that Destiny had whispered to Calix but it looked It was on of the huge mansions in the same area whee Moxie and Roxie had thrown their party. The house was made of grey stone and brick. It stood out against the lily–white freshly fallen snow. The youngest alpha went neglected to rink the doorbell. He prowled around the side of the house, checking windows and doors to see if anything had been open. There was no such luck. At least, not on the ground floor.
At the side of the huge house, on the first story above them, there was an open window. A wide open window. Should they just sneak in? Calix was already climbing onto Felix‘s shoulders so that he could reach the the open window. Felix hoisted him up through the open window. Calix gave them a thumbs–up from the upstairs window.
Calix! What are you doing? Let us in! Demanded Alex, his tone annoyed.
CALIX! Felix was impatient. Calix knew how crazy the middle alpha could get about their mate. Calix hurried to the back door through the maze–like mansion. He opened the latch from the inside and let his brothers, Chance and the P.I. in.
I found Chasity‘s scent, he said over mind–link to the others, in case there were people here although he had no yet encountered any.
Something is weird about it. It‘s different somehow. It‘s still amazing but there‘s a new element to it,
They‘re using magic to mute the scent and weaken it to hide her better, i said Chance, his eyes narrowed in anger.
Yeah, agreed Danny. Herscent has been watered down. It‘ll help the kidnappers hide too so you won‘t smell her on them.
When I get my hands on the people who took Chasity, I‘m going to peal their skin off their flesh, seething
We don‘t have time for this, ok, Calix, we have to keep moving,
said Alex gently. It seems like she was here but isn‘t now.
