DreadedCandiru2: No, Phoenix and I have something planned for Clyde.
Elementor: Nah, he didn't run.
Here's the next chapter. Enjoy, also there's going to be a small time skip.
Lynn stood on the steps, glaring down at Luna, Luan and Lincoln with narrowed eyes and her arms crossed. Hearing the front door open, she looked down to see the twins and Lucy walking through the front door, the book safely tucked under Lana's right arm. The three walked up to Luna, Luan and Lincoln and Lincoln smirked as he rubbed the top of Lana's and Lola's heads, "Lincoln!"
The five sisters jumped and looked back to see Lynn glaring at them intently and Lincoln chuckled as he shook his head, "I was wondering when you were going to say something. You've been standing on the stairs for the past ten minutes,"
He looked back and Lynn growled, "You can't sneak up on me anymore…no one can. I recognize each member of the family by scent, and even if you do somehow mask it, there's your heartbeat that'll-"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Lincoln arched a brow as Lynn walked down the stairs and towards her siblings and pointed towards Lincoln, "You're not an Alpha, you're not even an Omega! You're just a mangy dog trying to get out of training, and whose dating and fucking two of his own sisters!"
"Careful Lynn, I'd hate to be the reason we'd-"
"What? You won't do anything, Lincoln! You are, have and always will be nothing more than my sparring partner, a simple punching bag meant to-" before she could finish, she felt Lincoln's fist make contact with her cheek and she stepped back several feet.
Lincoln grunted and rubbed his knuckles as Luna rubbed his back and Luan rubbed the top of his head, "Easy bro, you said you'd hate to be the reason if anything were to happen," Luna softly smiled and Lincoln growled and shook his head, "I know you don't like being referred to as a mangy dog like that, we know you hate being considered a lesser like that, and Lynn was wrong when she said you're nothing more than a punching bag."
"She's right, Linc," Luan smiled and kissed his cheek, "You're not a lesser, you know we won't let anyone call you a mangey mutt, you're not a punching bag and we already told you our thoughts on being your mates," Lincoln took a deep breath and slowly nodded.
"What's going on in here!" everyone looked up to see their parents, with Lily in Rita's arms, Lori, Leni and Lisa stepping inside, "Well kids?"
"Lincoln punched me for no reason, dad!"
Lynn Sr. looked at the white-haired teen and Lincoln growled and narrowed his eyes, "No, I had a perfectly good reason! She referred to me as a mangy dog, she called me a punching bag, she insulted my mates and she called me a lesser! I am not a lesser, I am the Alpha!"
"No you are not!" Lynn Sr. snapped, "You are still a minor living under my roof and-" before he could finish, Lincoln's body twisted in pain as he growled and barked.
The familiar white-furred canine glared at the seven across from them with flashing yellow eyes and growled at Lynn Sr., baring its fangs, "Lincoln, enough of these childish-" the wolf began barking and Lynn Sr. fell back.
Leni walked over to the wolf and scratched it behind its ear, "Are you okay, Linky? Are you in a bad mood?"
Luna and Luan frowned, knelt next to the wolf and stroked its fur, "It's okay, dude…no need to bring out Silver. We're here, we're not going to let them do anything,"
The wolf continued to growl and Luan frowned, "We're here Linc, we're not going to let them do anything stupid, we promise," Rita sighed and stepped over to her other children, "Mom, don't do anything stupid. Lincoln's in a state where he won't hesitate to-"
"I'm here as a friend, not as an agitator," Rita took a deep breath and shook her head, "Your brother is right, ever since he became this Alpha, you girls have been fighting less, been doing better in school, I believe this is better for the family,"
"Rita-"
"Rita nothing, Lynn," Rita looked back at her husband and narrowed her eyes, "You've even seen how the girls have been acting. They rarely fight anymore, they've finished almost t the top of their classes before the summer …what more can we ask for. If this is because-"
"But mom, he's literally dating Luna and Luan at the same time, and they already had sex," Lori scuffed in disgust, "You can't be okay with that,"
"While I admit, it will take a lot of time to get used to that, I am willing to accept it as long as all three of them are happy and they look out for each other, there isn't much we can do,"
"Au contraire, mother, if we get a small amount of silver nitrate, we can introduce it to Luna's and Luan's D.N.A., altering it to repeal Lincoln from them and-" before Lisa could finish, the wolf howled and glared at the young genius, "-or we could leave them be…that could be the best idea."
The wolf continued growl and Luna and Luan frowned, "It's okay, dude…no one is going to do that." Luna whispered, kissing the top of the wolf's head, "Lucy explained everything several times that no one is to try and separate us. Lisa was just trying to pull a Luan and make a stupid joke."
"Yeah Linc, she's nowhere near the comedian genius as I am, so she shouldn't even attempt to make jokes." Luan softly smiled and carefully hugged the enraged canine.
Lana looked at the four and frowned, "Lincoln's angry at you four for your words and suggestions. Luna and Luan are barely keeping him calm,"
"And we should care? Lincoln has been nothing but a jerk lately, and you expect us to care about any of this?" Lynn hissed before reaching in her pocket and pulled out a silver whistle. Everyone stared at her with wide eyes before she inhaled deeply and began blowing into the whistle.
Luna and Luan looked at the wolf with wide eyes as it began whimpering in pain. The two looked up at Lynn with narrowed eyes as they comforted their mate, "Lynn! Are you insane!" Luna snapped, "Stop it! You're hurting him!" Lynn ignored her and continued to blow into the whistle before she fell against the railing with a burning force.
Everyone slowly looked at the gloomy girl, smoke emerging from her left hand. Lucy looked down at her hand in surprise as she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up and saw Lincoln staring at her with a concerning look crossing his face, "Lucy…I think we need to have a talk with Mr. Grouse," confused, Lucy slowly nodded before the two of them, along with Luna, Luan, Leni and the twins walked out of the house and closed the door behind them.
Luna, Luan, Lincoln, Leni, Lola and Lana sat in the living room while the elderly spoke to the gloomy girl. Luna and Luan looked down at Lincoln, who stared at Lucy and Mr. Grouse with a hardened look crossing his face, "So…Linc…is there something you know that you're not telling us?"
"I don't know, Luan, it's just…Lucy smells of earth and nature, that scent has been bothering me for weeks now and I couldn't figure out why." his two mates looked at him with wide eyes and Lincoln shook his head, "I doubt she's a Beast Charmer. She doesn't smell of animals or something primal, but I need an experienced being for a second opinion…and what the hell that was back at the house."
He looked at the two and frowned and shook his again, "That, and I have to bite you two tomorrow night…unless-"
"You're not getting out of biting us this time, bro," Luna smiled and wrapped an arm around him, "You promised us after your fight with your little classmates, and every month you came up with a different excuse why you can't bite us. Well not this time, Lincoln,"
"Um…I don't want to hurt you two?" Luna and Luan smiled as they shook their heads, "I don't want to accidently kill you two?"
"Linc, you've exhausted all of your excuses. And you promised us last week that you'll do this for us, you've promised us months ago, and we told you that we want this," Luan smiled and hugged him, "And you're not getting out of your promise this time,"
Lincoln sighed as Lucy and Mr. Grouse walked towards the six of them, "Okay Louds, we're going to have to take your sister to speak to the Council," Lincoln growled and Mr. Grouse shook his head, "Look Loud, I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with her, so we'll meet with the Council first thing tomorrow and see where it goes from there."
"Tomorrow starts the full moon cycle,"
"Well if you don't want to, you can stay here, but like the young Beast Charmer, if she has a gift, it's best if we find out as soon as possible instead of waiting for her to go Rouge and destroy half the neighborhood,"
"And we don't want that," Lincoln growled before looking at Lucy, when you meet the Council tomorrow, you're going to have to be on your best behavior. If you're not gifted then they're going to wipe your memory and send you home."
"Sigh, as long as I remember Edwin and-"
"Edwin? That Vampire wannabe? Loud, you have poor taste in the undead culture," Mr. Grouse shook his head, "In my day, a Vampire wouldn't allow a human to even look at-"
"That's great dude, but we really need to get home before our parents worry about us," Luna said as she grabbed the twins by the arm and dragged them out of the house and Luan, Lincoln, Leni and Lucy followed them.
Okay, phew, like I said, this was a small time skip in the story, not much, just a week. Keep reading to find out what's wrong with Lucy. As always enjoy everyone and please let me know what you all think.
