familiar muscles
under her eye start to twitch. She was only seconds away from complete loss of
any good manners because it was taking every ounce of will power she owned not
to start actively searching the woman for the peace sign tattoo Elena was sure
the woman had somewhere on her willowy body.
If her aunt started singing Crosby,
Stills, Nash and Young, Elena was so out of there.
Mr. Wroth’s voice broke into Elena’s inner musings about setting fire to that tie dye tank
top the moment the woman took it off.
“And this is your mother’s older
sister Thea. Thea and Indigo, these are Agatha’s daughters Chloe, Elena and
Delta.”
Elena turned her attention to the
other aunt. Thea Demos looked to be the polar opposite of her sister Indigo.
She stood facing them with her legs braced, her arms crossed over her chest and
a grey short sleeve t-shirt that reveled rather toned arms. If she decided to
punch someone, Elena knew it would hurt like hell. And she totally respected
that.
Delta leaned over and whispered by
her ear. “It could be you in twenty years Elena. It’s like an older mirror
image.”
Elena had to admit her sister was
right. They both sported healthy tomboyish figures, and the same general aura
of bad attitude. She’d been told many times in her Army career that the world
simply could not handle two of her. It looked like those individuals who made
that statement had been wrong. She’d also been told once that anyone harboring
a personality even remotely like her own would either love her or hate her. So, either Elena and her new Aunt Thea were going to get
along like gangbusters, or they were going to strangle each other in the very
near future. Of course, all inner debates about how she would get along with
her Aunt Thea ended when Elena caught the lawyer staring at her Aunt Thea’s
ass.
She felt Chloe lean into her side
again. “He’s doin ’ her too.”
Could somebody just fuckin’ shoot
her now?

“Three sisters walk into a wolf
owned bar-“
“Again with the jokes Chloe?” Elena
shot a dirty look at Delta who was giggling at Chloe’s antics. “Okay, it’s time
for the rules.”
Chloe mocked. “Again with the
rules?”
“ Yessss .”
Elena hissed back at her. “Because without rules my airheaded oldest sister
tells vampires bad jokes, which nearly gets the life sucked out of us! If Aunt
Thea hadn’t been there with her freakin’ piece of maple 2 x 4, you probably
wouldn’t be here now! And because of that , the vampire refuses to be an
informant for her anymore.” Elena turned her glare to Delta who was still
giggling. “And without rules Delta walks around to any Other she meets and asks them inappropriate questions all in the name of ‘research’.”
Delta stopped giggling to sputter a
defense. “I just wanted to know! It’s not like I can go check out a book at the
library to learn more about them!”
“God, it’s a miracle nobody’s
managed to kill you two yet.” Elena ran her hand through her hair in
frustration. “No jokes. No questions. This one is important for me and you know
that. Don’t fuck it up.”
“Are you ready to talk about it
Elena?” Delta spoke the question softly with compassion. Which just pissed her
off, because now she was going to have to tell her sisters about him .
Originally, she had no intention of ever telling either of them of her
humiliating experience with the very person they were about to confront. That
had been shot to hell though after their aunts had given them the info for this
case and asked them to start the investigation while being monitored. This was
the first step towards proving that they had what it took to start working on
their own for the family run private investigative business. Elena loved
working with her Aunts, so she refused to let either of her sisters fuck this
up for them.
