The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 67

Sixty-Six: New Insight

Dustin

It’s been a week since the incident with Kylani. She seems to be back to normal. The doctor did think that she probably had the stomach flu with morning sickness. That’s why she got so bad so fast. The medication she is on seems to be helping. Kaleb and I talked with her and Mykayla about having someone here to help if needed. Mykenzie was in the meeting as well. Not that I was surprised. Kylani was ok with most of it, except she did make sure we knew that she was still more than capable of protecting herself. We told her it wasn’t about protection as much as it was about making sure nothing happened to them. I told them we didn’t want a repeat of the last incident. They both understood. Even though she won’t admit it, I think Kylani was scared when that happened to her. I am in my office at work with Kaleb, Marcus, Nate, and Chris. We are waiting for Dimitri. I know it scared the shit out of Chris and Dimitri when we told them what had happened.

“Hello gentleman, how are you all doing?” Dimitri says as he walks in.

“We are good,” Chris says.

He sits down, and I start to explain what we are thinking. I tell him the girls are okay with someone there to help them with the kids.

“Why did Kylani get so sick so fast if she isn’t that far along.?” Dimitri asks.

“They think she had both the stomach flu and morning sickness at the same time. She is also pregnant with twins.” Kaleb answers, smiling.

“Twins that’s fantastic,” Dimitri says.

Kaleb is so excited about the twins. Dimitri was surprised that we got Kylani to agree to have someone help. We told him that we explained to her it was to make sure that she and Mykayla don’t have a repeat of the incident. We tell him that it's not about the protection but our sanity.

“We know that they don’t need protection. Kylani herself can take out anything. Besides, we know that those five humongous immortal beasts are always around.” I tell him

“We were wondering if you know of anyone that could be with them that they would get along with. Well, that Kylani won’t get irritated with.” Kaleb asks.

All the girls are friendly once they get to know you. They can be a bit standoffish at first. Add in the fact that Mykenzie and Kylani can read minds, and if they don’t like you, then it won’t work. Dimitri gives us a huge grin and nods his head.

“I know the perfect person. I will talk to her and bring her by later today. I know she will be more than happy to help out.” He comments.

His phone rings, and he apologies that he has to take this call. We tell him it’s no problem and that we will see him in a few hours. Deklan is supposed to come over this afternoon so we can discuss more what is going on. Apparently, some of his guys have found out some more about the wolves and the clan—specifically their leader. I still don’t trust him fully, but he has proved to be a good ally so far. I also think that if he fucks up, Kylani and Mykenzie will do whatever to him, including keeping him just a bit on the scared side. We finish up at work, and the three of us head home. Chris left a while ago. He just vanished like his sisters. Seriously I don’t think I will ever get used to that. We pull up to the packhouse and see that Deklan is already there. We walk in, and as usual, we hear yelling.

“What the hell is wrong with you?” Kylani screams

“Do you really think we want to see that shit? The answer is no especially when it has to do with our fucking brother.” Mykenzie yells.

“It’s no like you two don’t fucking have sex. For fuck sake you both have kids and Kylani is pregnant again with twins.” Chris yells back.

We stand there watching the scene. They are standing in the living room facing each other. We look over to see Ashton and Alexis standing there. I look at them, and Alexis is fucking laughing while Ashton isn’t sure what to do.

“That is not the point. We don’t fucking have it in a room where we all hang out on a regular basis and where we have the kids running around. What if it had been Bree or Araya or one of the other kids that walked in on you two.?” Kylani yells.

Chris shuts up at this comment. Ahh, so they walked in on Chris and Nymyra. I look over and see Nymyra standing in the doorway and looking embarrassed.

“Ok you three, that’s enough. Chris let’s have a chat in my office. You two need to calm down.” I tell them.

Mykenzie and Kylani storm off to who knows where. I am not going to fault Chris for anything. Hell Mykayla and I have fooled around in multiple locations in the house. The girls are right, though. That room is off-limits. All of us guys had a silent agreement that since it had become the meeting slash family hang-out room that no fucking would happen there. We all walk up to my office.

“We weren’t having sex. She was just giving me..” Chris started to explain.

I put my hand up. I do not want to know what he and my cousin do when alone.

“I don’t want to hear this. I don’t care where you two mess around, but we all know that room is off-limits.” I tell him.

He sighs and agrees. I know it’s not like they planned it, but they should have moved it to their room or anywhere else. We continue to talk, and Chris knows that his sisters are right this time. I received a mind link from one of our warriors letting me know that Deklan is here, and so is Dimitri. He says that Dimitri has brought a woman with him. Well, that’s interesting. I tell him that we will be down in a minute. As we walk down to the rec room, we hear growling. What in the hell is up with these two right now? I am just about to go tell them to knock it off.

“You two stop this shit right now. Deklan is sitting here doing nothing and you two are growling at him for no reason. I don’t care how irritated with your brother you are. KNOCK IT OFF NOW OR SO HELP ME!” Says an unknown female voice.

I see Chris smile and laugh. The growling has stopped, and I wonder who this amazing woman is who can put those in their place. We walk in to see Dimitri standing there along with Imyra. Imyra looks pissed and is glaring at the girls. Mykenzie and Kylani are grumbling but have stopped growling and are sitting there pouting. That is a sight I haven’t seen before. Chris is still laughing until Imyra turns her glare to him and he shuts up. Dimitri is standing there smiling. Dimitri tilts his head, and we follow him out into the hallway.

“Imyra is going to help the girls. She is also one of two people that can keep these three inline. The other being their mother.” He explains.

“Doesn’t she need to be there to help you rule your land?” I ask

“Yes and no. If I need her she can come back. Besides being a fae she is an excellent healer so if there are any issues with any of the girls she can deal with it.” He says.

“Mom what are you doing here?” Daniylla asked.

I hear the rest of the girls start talking. We walk back in, and yep they are now all here. Imyra explains that she is going to be here to help with the babies, and I see Kylani give Dimitri a nasty look. He just smiles at her and shrugs his shoulders. I love the fact that these two are not scared or phased by those two. I hear Chris apologize to his sisters for earlier and I see Imyra standing there with her hands on her hips. She looks absolutely terrifying. I wouldn’t want to piss her off. I think she is going to be perfect for this.

“Don’t think for one minute that she will not put all of you in your places if she needs to. She could care less that you’re an Alpha, Beta, or Gamma.” Dimitri tells me.

We all look at each other and then at her, and she has an eyebrow raised at us. OH shit, she has that mom look, and I understand what Dimitri means. This is going to be interesting.

Kaleb

I was sitting out by the pool, relaxing. Kylani was taking a nap. She had an episode this afternoon. The twins must have had a growth spurt. It wasn’t as bad as last time, but it was still painful for her since there were two. I hate seeing her in pain. Imyra had given her something for the pain, which worked fast, and I was thankful for that. I was lost in thought when a hand on my shoulder made me jump. I almost landed in the pool. I turn around to see Imyra standing there with a smirk on her face. Well, this is a great sort of first impression. This is not the first time I have met her, but this is the first time I have actually talked to her.

“You seem to be stressed out about something.” She says.

I tell her about everything that has happened since Mykayla joined the pack. I tell her everything that Kylani and I have been through and that it seems like sometimes that Kylani doesn’t want this to work between us.

“Kaleb, she loves you more than anything. I know for a fact if she could she would give up everything for you including her immortality. I know Dimitri told you a lot about everything. What you guys have to understand is how much shit these two have been through and how they have been treated in the past by people. Most want them for what they are not who they are. She gets scared because of previous incidents with people from the past. Never doubt her love for you. Mykenzie doesn’t have to worry about Reecie. They have literally known him since he was born. Think about everything that has been revealed about them from their side.” She tells me.

I sit there and think about what she just told me. I now understand why they are how they are. If you have been used and lied to just for your powers, you will build up walls. I look at her and tell her thanks, and she gives me a hug. I hear the back door shut and turn around. I see Kylani walking toward us. She comes and sits down by me, and I pull her to my chest. Imyra smiles at us and leaves. I start slowly rubbing her belly. She is already starting to get a small bump. I was surprised, but Imyra said that because she is having twins, the bump will show sooner. We still have a couple of months till we can find out the sex of the pups. I noticed that she was quiet and looked down to find her asleep. A smile spreads across my face as I pick her up and carry her back into the house.
