“Hey, what’s up?” Liam greeted him.
His smile disappeared as he flung his arm about. “They fucking lied! They fucking lied to all the kids and they kept my baby sister from me! I’ll kill them, I swear I will Liam,” Rian ranted.
Damian sighed. Bethy stared and Asling giggled.
Rian began to pace.
“Rian, who?” Liam asked, before Rian interrupted him.
“They told them we didn’t want them. All of those years lost because of those bigoted fucks! They joined NOAH and they’re probably brainwashing all the other kids too!”
“Rian…”
“They saw the newsletter, Liam. They saw their stockings and knew that we still thought of them. They’ve come home!” Rian started sniffling.
“Rian, I swear to all that is holy if you don’t tell me what the fuck is going on I’m going to have Sebastian bite your ass! Nowcalm down and make some damn sense,” Liam roared into the phone.
“Our asshole parents told our brothers and sisters we didn’t want them living in the Lewenhart pride because they would infringe on our carefree lifestyle. They have joined NOAH and they are holding Dylan hostage!” Rian shouted.
Rhys looked over. Peyton was watching the entire scene while his hand dipped into the table’s bowl of chips. He looked as though he were watching one of his soap operas. Duncan was on his cell phone talking quickly. Rhys would bet money that it was with his ma.
“They have Dylan? He wants to come home?” Liam asked sharply.
“Yes, Liam. We were already packed, we couldn’t get him out,” Bethy said.
“Bethy, is that you?” Liam asked, his voice softening.
“It’s me, LeeLee,” she said.
“God, I forgot that you used to call me that. Don’t worry about your brother. We are bringing him home. If he wants to transfer prides there isn’t a damn thing they can do about it,” Liam said, his voice sounding harsh.
“We knew you would help us,” Asling whispered.
“Of course, baby doll. You, Bethy and Dylan were our little shadows.” Liam laughed.
“We hoped, but we didn’t know if you really wanted us here.” Bethy sighed, exhausted from crying. She laid her head on her brother’s shoulder.
“I’m hanging up and calling Lachlan now. Girls, no more talk about not being welcome, or I’ll put you over my knee,” Liam threatened, though everyone listening knew it was an empty threat. It was proved two seconds later when both women giggled.
“I am Alpha you know.”
They giggled again.
“I get absolutely no respect,” Liam said, but Rhys could hear the smile in his voice.
“See you girls in the morning.” Liam hung up.
“Now, let’s head home. I have so much to show you,” Rian said, sounding excited.
The four got up and waved good night. When the door shut. Emmett let out a deep breath. “Damn those girls grew up pretty.” He was still smiling when Rian popped his head back in.
“I heard that. Paws off, bear.” Rian hissed and left again.
Emmett gulped.
“Rian is going to have his hands full. Those two women are lovely,” Rhys said, grinning.
Emmett nodded. “Makes me glad I don’t have any sisters. Brothers are a lot easier to deal with.”
