Darren walks out of the room muttering under his breath what sounds like,here comes the drama, no thank you,as Drug and his brothers jump to their feet. Growls and snarls reverberating around the empty club as they surround the Nymph. Mayfly doesn't take his eyes off Elsie though even when Drug shifts and tackles him to the ground, teeth snapping in his face.
"Drug!" I yell, "Get off of him! That is your sister's mate and killing him before the bond is severed will hurt her!"
Drug shifts but doesn't move from his place. Knees on either side of Mayfly's waist with his hands pinning down the Nymph's arms, Drug harshly snaps at him, "You will not have her. You think you're good enough for my sister after fucking everything in sight? No. You're not and you never will be."
Okay, that was fucking mean as hell. I didn't even say that shit to Draven when he was being a dick to Rory. I don't really give a shit about Mayfly but Drug's words hurt Elsie. She has a blank look in her eyes like what Drug said was something Merelda has said to her multiple times and now she's falling into herself to protect her mind.
I lift my hand to Drug's back as he continues to shit talk Mayfly. I close my hand into a fist on instinct and he lifts off of the Nymph. Draven and Drac turn to me and snarl but I flip them off.
"You foolish boys," Rory says, crossing her arms over her chest and cocking a brow to Dray.
"Elsie, which one do you want me to kick first, hmm?" Roxy says with a twisted smile.
I bring Drug over to my side and drop him to his feet. He gives me a chilling glare but I smile and smack him on the back of his head.
"Listen, pup. Your stupid words hurt your sister." I point to her and watch him deflate as Elsie keeps her eyes on Mayfly.
You said shit that made her curl up inside herself. Think before you fucking speak, meathead. Merelda has verbally abused her and hearing shit like you just said is making her relive those moments.
He doesn't reply to my voice but I know he heard. His back tenses as the words register.
Tentatively, Drug places his hand on Elsie's shoulder and she snaps out of her trance-like state.
"I'm sorry, Else. I didn't mean to hurt you in any way."
"You've got three very protective brothers, Elsie, but I will prove to them I am good enough for you," Mayfly says just as the building shakes like we're about to be hit with a tornado.
"Merelda is here!" Darren yells from the front doors.
"Stay back, Elsie. Do not come out until one of us comes and gets you." Drac tells her but they all run for the door without waiting for a reply.
Fucking boys. I don't want her out there either, we just got her out of that shithole and I'll be damned if she gets taken away from us again. Still though, the Hound brothers have a lot to learn in how to treat a woman, they're suffocating her and it will eventually push her away.
I get the protectiveness but I think I'm going to have to teach them a thing or two about modern day equal rights... or cut their junk off. Yeah, I might go with that.
"This is your time to prove toElsieyou can and will be the best mate for her. If she wants to fight, don't be a dick and stand in her way. Stand beside her and help her through it all."
I've never seen this side of Mayfly and he's never called me anything but some sort of endearment but I know that's all done with.
"I will, Ronny." He looks at Elsie, "I swear it."
I leave the two mates and join my sisters at the door before teleporting to our men.
Just to give them a taste of his archaic attitude, I put a hand on his chest, "I got this,flower, stand behind me and I'll protect you."
Drug sighs with exasperation before grabbing my arm and tugging me back to his side while I chuckle.
Am I an ass who has shit timing for sarcasm? Yes, yes I am.
"What's up pussycat? Damn, you look like shit," Rory says to Merelda and its then I notice she’s fucking ooooold. I'm talking dusty ass old.
Roxy begins to sing a hilarious song that perfectly fits the old lady before us, "Do your tits hang low? Do they wobble to the floor? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie..." Drac barks out laughter but Merelda doesn’t see the cleverness.
"Where is she!?" The old bat screeches as she weaves her hands together before launching a glowing orb at Darren who dodges it just in time. It hits the pillar behind him and begins to melt the stone.
Everyone dives and jumps out the way of those flying orbs Merelda is launching in quick succession. Pretty fucking energetic for a walking corpse. But it shouldn't be a hard thing to end this bitch.
After dodging another melting goo ball, I jump to my feet and grab her in my levitation. I pick her up about ten feet before slamming her down to the ground but the bitch hops back up like a kangaroo!
