"I'll ask." I said.
Hey, Chalice wants to know what you think of her B-G names. Caleb and Chloe, Arabelle and Aiden, Brock and Brooklyn. Which one?
I asked Delilah.
Arabelle and Aiden.
Delilah responded.
"Arabelle and Aiden." I said.
Chalice grinned.
"Thank you! And by the way, you don't need to tell me the name of the twins Delilah's having-"
"Triplets." I cut Chalice off.
"Triplets?"
I asked Delilah a quick question.
What are the names of the triplets?
I asked her.
Cannon, Ambrosia, Shade.
She replied.
"Yes." I continued. "Cannon, Ambrosia, Shade."
Chalice smiled.
"Do me a favor and kill that Kai. I hate the idea of Delilah with anyone but you." Chalice said sweetly, before walking off. Huh. I never did know Chalice liked me as a friend. Seems like something new happens each day...
--DELILAH'S POV--
I woke up, Kai brushing hair out of my eyes. I sat up, in the jet bed. Yes, there was a master bedroom in the jet. I stretched and yawned.
"Did I pass out?" I yawned.
He nodded, worry clear in his eyes. Calico came running up to me.
"Mommy! You're awake! Uncle Tommy wants to talk to you!" She said, jumping on the bed.
Kai hissed, his facial expression darkening. Kai seemed to have some...unpleasant feelings towards Tom now, since Tom was so drunk, he tried to get me to sleep with him. I don't blame Kai; he's been through a lot of events that would leave anyone with mixed feelings.
"I'll let him in, come on Coco, let your mommy rest." Kai said, picking Calico up. She grinned, hugging Kai's neck.
"Okay, daddy. Bye mommy!" Calico said.
I froze. Did Calico just call Kai daddy? She thinks Kai is her daddy too. The creaky jet door snapped me out of my thoughts. Tom shyly came in, his expression that of embarrassment.
"Kai threatened me, so I'm not getting too close, kay?" Tom announced with a shaky laugh.
I frowned, patting the spot next to me.
"He tore you to shreds before I...Um, collapsed from exhaustion. I think he hopes you'll fear him. Sit, the woman demands it." I said.
Tom laughed, brushing his curly dark hair out of his eyes, before stalking up to the bed, sitting down next to me.
"I'm really sorry. I get drunk, and I say and do stupid stuff that I have no control over-"
"I'm not angry anymore. Though, you were tempting me..." I joked. Tom gave me a weird look. "Joking."
Tom laughed.
"I like you, Delilah-"
"How DO you like me?" I questioned.
"I'm not sure. I'll make it a priority to tell you when I figure that one out." Tom said.
"You should hope its friendly, not sexual, because I have a list of guys who want my pure awesomeness. My mates among them." I said.
Tom twirled a piece of my flamey red hair around his finger.
Tom looked at me, leaning in. I panicked, not knowing what to do. Was he going to kiss me? Violate me? Please no, I've got enough trouble. As if someone had heard me, the jet shuddered, before the pilot's voice beamed through the speakers.
"Well, Misters and Misses, we's have landed on nones other than Kauai, Hawaii. Yesum, I ain't never been to a place as fi-i-ine as the chickens island. Have yoselves a blessed day." The pilot said, using dialect from the 1930's colored people.
"Miss, we's has landed." Tom grinned, helping me up.
Kauai was as beautiful as Kylia (born and raised in Kauai) described. Not a single cloud speckled the sky when we landed at Lihue airport. The grass was a pale green that liked to reflect the sun's rays in a way that reminded me of Aaron's eyes. The mountains were a brown-green-gray color that I'd never seen on mountains before. The palm trees rose high, making me feel microscopic on the island. And the sea. Oh, the sea was a beautiful light turquoise color, the waves crashing against the shore causing a relaxing rhythm. Calico wore a simple Hawaiian red dress. I wore an outfit consists of pleated white coat dress with matching black belt, lace-edged slip, and black-and-white striped stockings. Tall black boots completed this sophisticated and elegant look. I saw several guys turn to look at me while I walked by. I'd flash grins and winks at them, but Kai would hold my hand. I wasn't hot, even though the sun was completely out. Calico was on Kai's shoulders, making faces at the other tourists that walked by. I laughed, while Tom and Ethan fought to hide their smiles.
"So, why ARE we here?" I asked Tom.
"Wolves aren't exactly comfortable on planes. They tend to stay away from anything with wings." Ethan explained.
"Stop teasing random people." Kai grumbled.
I raised an eyebrow.
"But, whats life without fun?" I asked, blinking my eyes.
Calico giggled, before hushing, when a hen walked by.
"Chicky!" She cried, trying to jump from Kai's shoulders.
Kai set her down, and she ran ahead. Damn, she was fast for a little kid. I sighed, before chasing after Calico. This is all I have to say: Don't run in heels. Calico continued running, until she tripped over a guy's foot, landing on her butt. I picked her up, soothing her.
"Ssh, Coco, it's okay. Ssh." I said, before looking at the boy. "I'm SO sorry. She ran off, and-"
"It's okay. I can see your hands are full." He said.
I then got a good look at him. He had thin ebony black eyes that sparkled like the ocean. His silky, straight, white hair ends at the nape of his neck, it shaggy in front of his eyes. He is tall and has a masculine build. His skin is a pale ivory. He has small ears and thin eyebrows, like Kylia.
"I'm Aloiki." He said.
"Delilah. You visiting?" I asked him.
He hesitated.
"Nah, I live here. Just got back from the big island, ya know? Have a cousin flying in tonight, from Bianca High." Aloiki said.
Bianca High? Kylia flies out here each Summer to see her family. Could this be her cousin?
"Is her name by any chance Kylei-Lia Heart? Does she go by Kylia?" I asked.
Aloiki raised an eyebrow.
"You know my cousin?" He asked.
I nodded, a smile playing at my lips.
"She's my friend. Trust me. I'm sure you know Lloyd?" I asked.
Aloiki smiled.
"So you're the famous Lys Bear I'm told about. Why don't you and her come swing my house? I hear you know Aunt Leilani?" Aloiki smiled.
"I...I'm with my...friends." I said.
"No, you're with daddy, and Uncle Kitty, and Uncle Tom, and Uncle Kyo!" Calico insisted.
I sighed, putting her down.
"Go find Uncle Kitty." I said.
She ran off.
"Uncle Kitty?" Aloiki asked.
"Long story. Have fun convincing Kai that he can trust you." I said, leading him towards my group of guys.
"Okay then, if you're related to that smart aleck Kylia, I want you to answer these questions." Kai said, taking a breath. "How many seconds in 2 weeks, three days?"
"1,468,800."
"What is a rhombus?"
"It's a shape in math, that resembles a slanted square."
"What is Heterochromia?"
Aloiki pointed to my eyes.
"She's an example." He said. "A person born with two different colored eyes."
Kai furrowed his brow.
"What is -1,468,800 times 32.666?"
"-47,979,820.8"
"What does e=mc2 mean?" Kai asked desperately.
"It is an equation by Albert Einstein showing that energy and mass are interchangeable. E is energy, M is mass, C is the speed of light. Thus energy equals the amount of mass multiplied by the speed of light squared." Aloiki answered, checking his nails.
Kai's brow furrowed, before Kai pouted.
"Fine, you can go-"
"Yay-"
"But," Kai started.
"But?" I asked.
"You have to bring Calico with you." Kai said.
I huffed.
"She your spy?" I asked, picking her up.
"Talk about real love, Coco." I grumbled, which caused the guys to laugh.
"Mama, you crazy." Calico insisted.
"Nah, I just fun." I told her, putting her on my shoulders.
"Come on." Aloiki tried pulling me away.
"Rosye!" Tom called, before I was too far away. I was tossed a notebook. "Use that to call us if you need anything."
--AARON'S POV--
"The last of the troops are leaving, master." The military beta said.
I nodded briskly. It's been a few weeks since Delilah left; I only contacted her a week ago. For a moment, no one spoke in the house. Then, wildly, Shane rushed downstairs.
"Chalice is in labor." He announed. Malie and Jashawna shot up from their chairs.
"Where is she?" They asked, at the same time.
"In our room." Shane answered, pulling them upstairs. I followed. This is, afterall, Alpha business.
"Okay Chalice, one more time, she's almost out." Malie said. Shane looked at her, sadness in his eyes. I've been there before. Well, not during Coco's birth, but I've felt sadness like that when I shoved Delilah off that beach cliff. It seems like it was more of a dream, being normal. Delilah and I adjusted to the supernatural quickly, so we never talked about being normal. Chalice muffled a scream one more time, and then there was a cry. It was a girl.
"Arabelle." Shane told Chalice, who looked to be in extreme discomfort.
Was Delilah like that?
"Jashawna, Aaron, go get her washed up." Malie handed the newborn to Jashawna.
After cleaning her up, I realized that Arabelle had Shane's flat black hair, not Chalice's midnight-black hair. Arabelle's eyes were the color of the sunset. We went out of the bathroom, to see Malie holding a baby boy.
"Aiden." Chalice muttered, slinking back into the pillows.
"Switch." Malie said, handing me a crying Aiden. We washed him up to see that he was a male version of Chalice, with midnight-black hair, and sunset eyes. We handed Arabelle and Aiden to Chalice, who smiled.
Delilah, Chalice just had her twins.
I said.
There was a pause before her reply.
Oh, tell her I say congrats...Kinda eating...
Delilah said.
I nodded, but felt stupid, since she couldn't see me.
"What?" Shane asked.
"Delilah says congrats on the twins." I said.
Chalice smiled.
--DELILAH'S POV--
Aloiki's house was a mirror image of Daniel's house. Same gray paint, same yellow curtains. Once I was inside, I was tackled by Kylia's twin brother, Cory. Cory had wheat blonde hair and amber eyes. He saw me, grinning. When we were kids, he kind of decided we would get married when we were old enough.
"Delilah! I missed my baby doll." Cory said, kissing my cheek.
Calico huffed, kicking Cory in the leg.
"NO! MY mommy!" She snapped.
Cory saw Calico, and paled.
"Coco, apologize." I said.
Calico hung her head.
"I sorry..."
"What for?" I prompted.
"For kicking him in the leg." She said.
Cory managed to stutter.
"S-She y-yours?" He asked.
I nodded yes, giving him a 'What do you think?' look. He continued to pale, until he
