Chapter 3 - Three Years Later

Reign

Damien, stop being such a douche!  I heard Jaz grumble.  She was on the phone with her older brother, who we were scheduled to pick up from the airport tomorrow.  He and his security company have been hired to take over as my security team.  Why does he dislike me so much?  I asked her.  Trust me, he DOES like you.  She told me with a huge smile.  Yeah, okay, sure. I snorted. The guy doesn’t even know me and he’s already talking shit about me! Jazlyn’s eyes widened, How did you know that? She twitched her lips.  Uuuhhh, hheeelllllooooo, you always talk to him on speaker, I hear you when you’re talking to him. I gripped. How can he talk so much shit when he doesn’t even know me? And he’s supposed to be in charge of my security while visiting, that just brings me so much joy and confidence. (Note the sarcasm.) I already feel like I’m being a burden.

Don’t listen to my brother, he can be a real asshat. Jyden chimed in.  Jyden’s right, we are going to have some fun, we have a few side trips set up, including a visit to some of the most beautiful beaches, get an awesome tan and recharge our batteries so that we can kick some major ass when we get back out there. Jazlyn said excitedly. Don’t let him spoil this for you, for us, he won’t even be hanging around too much, he will assign someone to follow you, he’s not going to do it himself.  He’s the big badass boss man.  She chuckled.

Oh geeeee, like that makes me feel ssssoooo much better. I chided.  I mean every time either of you talk to him, I can hear the distain in his voice, when he talks about seeing me again.  I furrowed my brows remembering our last encounter.  Am I really that bad of a person?  No of course not!  Jyden yelped.  I know you want everyone to like you but honestly, Damien doesn’t like anyone, pffttt, sometimes he doesn’t even like himself.  He chuckled.  Try not to worry about him, once he gets to know you, you will have him wrapped around your little finger. He wiggled his brows.

I doubt that. I said rolling my eyes. So, when is the big bad wolf supposed to be here? Both Jazlyn and Jyden snorted and the juice they were drinking shot out their nose and mouth. What the hell! What is that all about?!  Sorry, it’s just that others have referred to him like that also, some say he’s a wolf in human clothing.  Jyden said as Jazlyn whipped up the juice that was snorted out.  You two are so weird, he’s probably just as weird as you two.

Damien

I haven’t seen my twin siblings in three years, they’ve been on tour with their band, Ryven’s Rose. Jazlyn’s one of the lead guitarist’s, Jyden is the drummer, Ryott is the other lead guitarist and Koltyn is the bass player and then there is the singer, Ryven Rose.

I met her once three years ago, and wholly shitballs, she knocked my socks off. She is amazing, she is my one, everything in me told me that she is meant to be mine and no one else’s. I just had to convince her of that, of course it doesn’t help that I haven’t seen her in three years and scared her the first time we met. She was fifteen, I was twenty-one, but I knew that she was meant to be mine.

Yes, mother, I will be on my best behavior. I will not do anything to embarrass you or the two little dipshits.  I promised her.  Damien Ayres Hunt! Mom yelled. Language young man!  She didn’t like us using foul language. She thinks I have a dirty mouth, she has yet to hear my little sister’s dirty mouth, she can swear like a sailor.

I’m kidding, I promise to be nice. I told her rolling my eyes. I’ll let you know when I am with your two babies. Love you mom, see you and dad in few weeks. I said chuckling.  And you better be nice to Reign. She’s been through a lot these past few months. I want her to feel safe. Mom instructed.  I know mom, Shadow’s already with her.

You still need to tell her.  She sighed.  I know mom, I’ll figure it out. I told her.  You better make this right.  She grumbled.  I just know why you haven’t done or said anything sooner. I sighed.  She could already be here with us and not be in the situation she’s in now. Mom scolded me.  Yes, mom. Again, I know, I’m an idiot. I told her. Everyone has been on my case for the last three years. Ayres hardly speaks to me, the only time he says anything is to argue with me about telling Reign or if there are pack issues. Other than that, he stays silent. Well, take care of my twins and my beautiful daughter-in-law and bring her home safe. She told me. I could hear the worry in her voice.

I will mom. Believe me, I have regretted every second of every week of every day of every year for the past three years. I assured her as I hung up and called for the team that would be Reign’s private security.

What’s up boss? Moses, my next in charge when I or Shadow aren’t available.  Is everyone ready? We need to head to the airport.  Yep, they are all waiting by the cars waiting for you.  Well, let’s get going, we have a long flight.  I told him walking out of my office.  So, are you going to claim our new Luna while we are there.  I need to tell her first. As far as I know, Jaz and Jy haven’t told her anything about us.  Dude, you should have just told her three years ago. He snorted, it's the same thing everybody tells me.

Uuuhhhhgggg! I know. I will regret that for the rest of my life!  I am so frustrated, I made a decision that I stood by and now because of some fucktard’s obsession with her, everyone is reminding what an idiot I am.  I growled.

Okay, sorry. I don’t mean anything by it just…  I know, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to take out my frustration on you.  I patted Moses on the shoulder. Let’s get going and bring home our pack’s Luna. I smiled.
