Ace POV
The next day
I was so fucking hungover, my head pounding as I roll on my side. Today was our 17th birthday, and Arial decided to get us shitfaced a day early. Man was I paying for it this morning.
I groan, forcing myself up before running my hands over my face. Tyson also got up in the bed across from me.
"My mouth tastes like a fucking ashtray" he grumbles.
I got up heading for the bathroom, making sure Lucy didn't cling wrap the toilet bowl lastnight. No cling wrap and I quickly pee before heading back to the room.
"Want one?" Tyson asks, cracking the window open and sitting on the windowsill. I take the packet lighting one before climbing out the window and sitting on the roof leaning against the wall under the window.
"Fuck my head is pounding" I tell him.
"I don't feel too bad, surprisingly," he says.
I could smell the BBQ going and looked at Tyson.
"What time is it?" I ask him and he pops his head in the window grabbing his phone from beside his bed.
"1 o'clock"
"Fuck I was supposed to meet up with Melana this morning"
"What if she isn't your mate" he asks and I shrug,
"It doesn't matter, she will do till I find her" I tell him.
"You still see that blonde bitch, Tara" I ask him.
"Nah, to much of a cling on, fucking asked me to mark her as my chosen mate. Like I would give up a fated for a chosen" he says shaking his head.
I finish my smoke before flicking it only to hear someone cuss. Lana walks out into the driveway.
"Fucking ass, you just flicked that on my head" she says looking up at me on the roof.
"My bad hard to see a midget from up here" I called back.
"That's it, I am done with the short jokes boy, I will show you fucking short" she shrieks before stomping inside.
"I would run if I were you"
"Na, I'm good" I say when the bedroom door bursts open. Tyson snorts and I get a whiff of Drake's scent.
"Fuck!" I say jumping up.
"That's fucking cheating Lana" I scream when Drake climbs out the window.
"Sorry bro, gotta dish out and ass kicking" he growls and I jump off the roof, Drake hot on my heels as do a runner from him.
"Better run Ace" Lana calls out laughing, Just as I am tackled. We wrestle before Tate comes running over, also helping Drake pin me down. I see Tyson jump off the roof laughing before seeing a pissed off Lana stalking towards me in her midget fury. Tate and Drake trying to pin me down.
"Ha, not so cocky now" she says.
"Hey, buttfaces" Lucy calls out to us and both of us look over at her. Lucy had been raised alongside us, she was our brother's stepdaughter and was 12, I couldn’t believe our luck. Not only were we paired to the same girl we now had to wait years before she would recognise us, that’s even if she could being a hybrid mutation without a wolf.
"Can you help me hang these lights?" she asks, completely oblivious to the fact she is our mate or one day will be.
"I'll help" I tell her, shoving Tyson back on the ground.
"No, I fucking will" Tyson says shoving me back and knocking me over.
"What's going on, stop, you will scare the kids" Ryker says storming down the steps toward us as I swing at Tyson.
"What has got into you, why are you fighting?" he asks.
"We were mucking around"Tyson says, wiping his lip that was bleeding.
"Doesn't look like it" he snaps at us. I drop my arm on Tyson's shoulder, jerking him toward me before slapping his chest.
"We good, right bro?"
He slaps mine harder "never better" he says.
"Good, I need one of you to help me get the lights up there" Lucy says pointing to the railing along the awning.
Tyson walks over to her grabbing her and placing her on his shoulders, I growl at him and Ryker looks at me. Giving me a look of what the fuck is going on. I shake my head walking over and passing the lights up to Lucy as she clips them onto the awning.
“What's wrong with you two morons?” She asks.
