The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 54

Fifty-Three: Phobias

Chris

I am sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast when Dustin comes walking in. He is in a pair of black sweatpants. I watch him as he grabs some coffee and takes a seat across from me. I can see some marks on his shoulders, and I have a feeling that last night must have gone well.

“I am going to assume that you are now engaged,” I state.

“You are assuming right my friend,” He says with a smile.

I congratulate him, and we sit there and talk for a while. I am not thrilled to be letting him know that the vamps still aren’t talking. I let him know how things are going. I can see he isn’t happy. I am not happy about it either. I know we are going to have to have my sisters get them to talk. I know none of the guys wants them around my sisters, considering that they tried to help kidnap the kids to get my sisters.

“We have no choice. I have to get them involved if we want to get anywhere.” I tell him.

“I know. I will send a link later and have all the guys meet in my office. Kaleb is not gonna like this at all.” He tells me.

I know Kaleb is not going to like it, but it has to be done. We need some fucking answers, and at this point, the only two that can get any of these assholes to talk are my sisters. I have talked to Kaleb, and he understands that Kylani is what she is, but he still worries about losing her. After the attempts to get their hands on my sisters and Mykayla, I can understand his concern. I tell him that he will not lose her. I am very happy for Dustin and Mykayla. I know that Kaleb asked Rye and Terrell to help him make a ring for Kylani, and I know when she sees it, she is going to burst into tears. She loves Kaleb so much, and I am glad they found each other. I guess what Dimitri and Dominick did, splitting the souls, was the right thing. I was sceptical at first until Kylani found Kaleb. I was still a bit sceptical until I found my sexy mate. Speaking of her, she just walked into the kitchen. DAMN, SHE IS FUCKING SEXY.

“What are you two sexy men talking about?” Nymyra asks.

I give her a little growl when she calls Dustin sexy. She just rolls her eyes at me. She reminds me of a lot of Natayla. Neither of those women has any problem letting someone know if they are attractive. Those two actually hang out a lot together.

“I was telling Dustin that we are gonna have to let my sisters at the vamps to get them to talk,” I tell her.

She walks over and sits her sexy ass on my lap. I wrap an arm around her waist and place my hand on her thigh. I am just about to tell Dustin something when an extremely high-pitched and loud scream reverberates through the house. It’s coming from the rec room. I know that those screams. The three of us run down to the rec room to find all seven of the girls there. I hear more footsteps thundering down towards us, and soon the rest of the guys are there. My sisters are standing there screaming as three huge tarantulas crawl across the floor. I see the other girls start shaking, and I know what is coming. They are on the verge of passing out. As tough as these girls are, they are all deathly terrified of spiders. The screaming quickly increases, and I look at Reecie and Kaleb. Before my sisters bring the house down with their voices, we have to do something. Reecie tells Kaleb to follow and do exactly what he does. Kaleb nods at him, and they walk up behind my sisters and cover their mouths with their hands. I can see both of them start to struggle as one of the gigantic tarantulas starts crawling toward them. Finally, Tarlek, Brighton, and I get something to catch the tarantulas as Kaleb and Reese turn my sisters so they can’t see them anymore. We quickly take them out back and release them into the forest. By the time we get back, all seven have passed out from fear. We lay the girls on the chairs and couches around the rec room and wait for them to wake up.

“Seriously, these girls can bring the world to an end, and they are afraid of spiders.” Nate declares.

“Yes, they are deathly terrified of them,” Terrell says.

The guys are amazed that they are afraid of spiders.

“I guess I should call a pest control company to make sure this doesn’t happen again. I thought they were gonna collapse the house when they were screaming.” Dustin sighs.

Mykayla, Natalya, and Dimitri come walking in to see what all the excitement is about. I know Dimitri knows what happened by the smirk on his face. He is carrying Xaydyn and hands him to Reecie when he gets close. Xyadyn looks at Mykenzie and starts to cry.

“It’s ok little man, mommy is just sleeping she is tired,” Reecie tells him.

Xaydyn lays his head on Reecie’s shoulder and stops crying. Natalya hands Jordyn to Kaleb.

“How many?” Dimitri says.

“Three very large tarantulas,” I reply.

All of a sudden, a faint glow starts radiating from my sister’s jewellery. I look closer and let out a growl—those two sneaky little shits. I know immediately what it is. Those two put tracers on some of the assholes that attacked the kids a month ago. They probably have been spying on them since. I should have known they would do that.

“Why are they glowing?.” Ashton asks

“Because they put tracers on a few of the guys that attacked the kids last month. They have been spying and keeping track of them.” Donte answers.

A low groan has us all looking at the girls. I notice that Leah is starting to come around. Reecie and I go to my sisters because we know how this might turn out. They will either wake up screaming or not. It’s better to be ready to put a hand over their mouths if they wake up screaming. Slowly all of the start to wake up. As I predicted, my sisters woke up screaming. Reecie and I slap our hands over their mouths.

“You will not scream and bring down this house. Everything is fine. Understand?” Dustin tells them.

They look at him and nod. We slowly remove our hands from their mouths, and they punch Reecie and me in the arm. We are unphased by this. We all sit and let the girls recover for a few.

“So when were you going to tell us you put tracers on those jackasses?” Dustin asks.

I have to laugh when my sisters give Dustin the deer in the headlight look.

“We have no idea what you are talking about.” They say in unison.

“Nice try. While you were asleep your jewelry started glowing.” Brandon states.

I hear them swear to themselves. BUSTED, they give me a look, and I shake my head. They got themselves into this. They can get themselves out. They both let out big sighs and start to explain that they have been keeping track of three of the guys, but so far, those three seem to be more of street soldiers and do not know who the inner circle is.

“I am assuming that you have been watching through your looking glasses,” I state.

They both look down, and oh shit, they have been following them in person. They have been staying in the shadows. Oh, this is not going to go over well with the guys.

“You realize that this is going to piss those five off. You have been following them in person when you know that they are trying to get their hands on you two,” I tell them, talking through our minds.

That is the one thing I do like about the three of us: we can talk to each other through our minds. So we can just have a nice private conversation between the three of us.

“Why do I have the feeling that you two have been following them on the street,” Nate says.

Dustin, Kaleb, Nate, Ashton, and Brighton all give the girls a look and my sisters drop their heads and let out a sigh. Kaleb is going to lose his shit.

“Yes, we have been following them in person.” They answer in unison.

The resulting growls have my sisters looking up. They know they should have told the rest of us about what they are doing. I watch as they all leave the room, and Mykenzie and Kylani stare at them as they walk out. Kaleb won’t even look at Kylani and I see her eyes become wet with tears. I watch as Dimitri walks out after the guys to go and talk to them. I would, but being their brother, they would just think that I was trying to stick up for my sisters. I know why they did it, but that doesn’t mean I agree with it. I look at my sisters and sigh.

“The vamps still won’t talk,” I tell them.

“Nate told us they had,” Kylani says, almost in tears.

“They don’t want you two around them since they are trying to get to you. It’s time for you two to have a chat with them.” I tell them

They nod their heads and leave the room. I know they feel bad about not including the guys, but they are also trying to protect them. I know the guys are mad, but I also know that Dimitri can make them understand.
