No Relation
Chapter 1
Kenzi watched from the pool table as Dyson, Hale, Trick and Bo were talking at the bar. She didn't have to be close to hear what was being said. Luckily for them, she barely refrained from rolling her eyes as the lady doc took her shot. The pair of humans had been shuffled off to the pool table, so that the grown-ups could talk.
It hadn't been put that way, but Kenzi was pretty sure the mostly clueless Lauren was aware of the patronization of their fae companions toward the duo. What a joke, really.
Still Lauren was more tolerable than a lot of the fae most of the time. Lauren had no idea that Kenzi was actually listening in. So when she has to call the other girl twice to get her attention to take her turn at the pool table she assumes, "Ok I know you have a thing but why don't you just accept Hale's offer to go out on a date?" she asks when she finally manages to get the Goth girls attention.
Kenzi replies, a little haughtily, "As if." Lauren is surprised at the response. Kenzi is horrified when the lady doc has the sudden revelation. "You like Dyson, " she hisses with a huge grin on her face.
"Yeah like that's going to happen," Kenzi agrees somewhat morosely watching to make sure the other fae, especially their friends hadn't clued into their conversation.
Lauren is apparently very excited with the prospect of Kenzi's interest in the broody wolf. Even though things had been really pretty good between her and Bo. It doesn't mean she doesn't see the potential benefit of Dyson and Kenzi getting together. Thus making the way clear for she and her succu-babe.
So with some reluctance on Kenzi's part the two decide to conspire to the get Kenzi and Dyson together. Really Kenzi is more concerned about Dyson's recent surprising lack of emotions. The werewolf is really even more broody than usual and that's not good.
A werewolf not in touch with his emotions is one who's not in touch with his wolf. Down that road led to crazy Uncle Peter, not a place any sane wolf wanted to go.
Thoughts of Peter led to thoughts of the rest of her family. Seeing as how the other fae appeared to have things well in hand the goth decided to cut out early and try to call her family.
She took her leave of Lauren to the other girls disappointment. However the doc was a little mollified that Kenzi was calling her family. The others including the D-man however, barely noticed when Kenzi slipped out of the front door of the pub right past their little conclave.
Kenzi called Derek on her cell phone, "Hey bro. What do you know?"
The Alpha merely growled at his sister as he replied, "Can I just ay exactly how much it sucks that my Beta's are getting more sex than I am?"
Kenzi groaned for him with a little huff of laughter thrown in the hoping to lighten her older brother's mood.
"Worse yet, the one I had really high hopes for…" he started.
"Scott right?" she clarified.
"Yeah Scott," Derek agreed easily, "He's sleeping with Kate's niece."
Kenzi was the only relative he had told the truth too about the night of the fire, well the only one period, family or otherwise. The truth about Kate and his relationship, Kenzi's opinion of the 'manipulative pedophile huntress bitch,' was well known and shouted so loud and long when she had heard. Her older brother was quite sure an echo of the statement was still circling the mountains and woods terrifying local hikers.
Her response to the discovery that the McCall kid was stuping the Argent princess, would have been shocking the locals as she walked down the street to the Crack Shack if it had been in English.
She was reciting a string of profanity in Russian that was as surprising in it's complexity as it was in its variety. He began responding in Spanish and Kenzi was sure she had succeeded in distracting her older brother from the aggravation of his Alpha-hood.
