The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 131

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.

“I hate you,” Zak tells Kylani

“Karma is a bitch.” She replies.

“Why is there still glitter everywhere?” Dustin asks.

Seriously, is he asking that? He is one of the people to blame for glitter still being everywhere.

“Because you and Tyrell decided to throw bombs at each other,” I tell him.

“We thought they were full of colored powder.” 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.

“Do 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?” 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.

“I liked the towel better,” Satyira says.

“I bet you did. Naughty little fae.” 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.
