Party Prep

The pack house was crazy with activity for tonight. My older brothers just sitting watching everyone running around.

“Hey, Scar how was school?” Chris asked me with a smirk.

“Fine, how was your first day of freedom?” I replied with a smile of my own.

The twins turned 18 meaning they don’t need to go to school anymore.

“Are you actually going to sit there and not help?” I asked.

“Well on your 18^th you can spend the day helping with your own party, but we want to chill and play games.” Kyle said. I looked at the TV with my eye brow raised. It was turned off?

“Um don’t you need the screen on the play games?” I asked.

From behind me Lily laughed before my mom approached and asked Lily and I to help with the decorating. We headed up to my room and dropped our stuff off. Mind-linking my mom

“Where do you want us to start?” I asked her.

“Down in the guest rooms, make sure they all have at least one towel each. There will be at 2 people per room.” She answered. Even through mind-link she sounded extremely stressed.

“On it” I turned to Lily. “Mom needs us to make sure the guest rooms are sorted there will be two people per room so she said make sure there is at least one towel per person. Since dad’s guards are up here I’ll do the royal guest rooms and you head down to the second floor help down there I’ll come find you once I’m done.” She nodded and headed off power walking to the stairs.

Dad had guards already posted that the rooms I smiled and they let me pass. As the Alphas daughter it is easier to get around the pack members. After making sure everything was clean and there was enough stuff in the rooms for the royal family members attending to stay in there for a month without having to come out, I headed downstairs to try and find Lily. Because she is with Opal moon pack I unfortunately can’t mind link her. After not being able to find her on the second floor I headed to the ground floor and found Chris sitting alone.

“Hey C have you seen Lily? I can’t find her” I asked. He looked up from the cutlery mom had him folding into napkins.

“Na, sorry. Kyle dipped and left me with this.”He said with a hint of anger in his voice. I laughed and mind-linked dad.

“Hey dad, do you know where Kyle is? He left Chris with a job mom gave them.” Waiting for him to reply.

“No Scarlett, sorry but I’m a little busy can you ask your mom or someone at the pack house.” He never used my full name so he was as stressed as mom was. Was this all because of the royals? Being the largest pack closest to Sapphire city my dad and mom being Luna and Alpha have been to the palace several time.

“Ok I’ll see you later. Don’t stress too much dad.” I replied.

Heading up to my Kyle’s room I knocked on the door. Waiting for about 5 minutes I was about to knock again and gasped when Lily opened to door. She was wrapped in Kyle’s sheet, she froze and turned beet red when she saw it was me.

“Scarlett I can.” Is all she got out of her mouth before I turned and ran up to my room both in anger and embarrassment from catching my best friend in bed with my older brother.

I lay on my bed trying to keep my mind from forming a mental image of my friend I always considered a sister and my big brother in bed together. As I was shaking my head trying to clear the image a knock pulled me into a sitting position.

“It’s unlocked.” I called out and Chris’s head appeared.

“Hey Scar, Kyle mind linked me and said you seemed upset and asked if I could check on you.” He came over and flopped down beside me, having laid back down covering my face with my arm. I grumbled.

“I found Lily.” I said defeated as the image of her tangled in Kyle’s arms invaded my brain.

“Oh yeah that’s good.” He said nudging me with his elbow. I looked at him and screwed up my face.

“She was in Kyle’s room.” I said getting me an “Oh” response from Chris before I sat upright again and dropped my head into my hands.

“Wrapped in his sheet when she answered his locked door.” I said muffled from behind my hands.

“Ah and now you scarred from the mental image? Try walking in on own parents now that will scar you.” He said laughing making my eyes shot to him wide in disbelief.

“You didn’t?” I said shocked. He shook his head and through laughter tears he mouthed Kyle.

Laughing with Chris until my sides hurt made me feel better. He pulled me into a reassuring hug and I remember the present I got for him and Kyle.

“I was going to give you this when Kyle was with you but mom made us prep for your party tomorrow but here.” I said sliding the small box into his hand leaving the other one on my bedside table.

“Scar you know you didn’t need to get me anything.” He said huffing as I poked my tongue out at him. His eyes lit up when he opened the box and saw one of the wolves howling. “Its amazing thanks sis.” He said hugging me again.

“It’s a set the other one is for Kyle since your twins I thought it suited.” I said turning the box thinking about when I would be able to give it to Kyle while trying to avoid the topic of him and Lily.

“I can give it to him if you want me too.” Chris said almost reading my mind. I smiled and shook my head.

“No I’ll give it to him sometime tomorrow.” As I said that he nodded and hugged me again before heading out of my room leaving me with my thoughts again.
