Chapter 15: Chapter 15

DEVON

Virtually nothing can be compared to the feeling of waking up in bed to be greeted by the pleasant sight of Theo's relaxed features. I watched him sleep with the smile on my face growing by the minute. His messy black hair was a sharp contrast to the snow white material of his pillow. He stirred, his long eyelashes fluttering slightly. "Good morning, handsome" I said, shooting him a smile as soon as his eyes fell open. "Morning, beautiful" he replied, a smile tugging at his lips. He pulled me close to himself and planted a kiss on the crown of my head. My eyes fluttered close as I basked in his warmth. "What day is today?" I asked"Today's Saturday, the 13th...." I gasped, my eyes widening. "Today is Karla's birthday!" "Okay...." Theo said, looking amused. "What's so funny right now?" I demanded, narrowing my eyes. He chuckled, tucking my hair behind my ears. "Today's actually Friday" he said. "W-what?!"He burst into laughter, eyes filling up with tears. "You should've seen the look on your face. It was priceless""You jerk!" I exclaimed, glaring at him.He shrugged, the smile on his face, lingering. "But you love me anyway" he said. An evil thought slowly made its way into my mind, a sly grin making its way to my lips. He wants to play pranks, we'll see about that. "You're right, I do love you" I said, letting out a long sigh. He raised a brow."You did a nice job pranking me, my love" I purred, bringing my lips close to his. He leaned closer but I immediately pulled away. His eyes widened. "You've been a bad, bad boy. No kisses for you" I said, giving him a teasing smile. "Don't start a game you can't finish" he said, his eyes glinting mischievously. "You don't have to worry about me. You should worry about yourself, baby" I said. He smiled."We'll see about that, kitten" Biting my lower lip, I got out of the bed swaying my hips. He muttered a curse under his breath and I grinned to myself.

Me- 4 points. Theo-2 points.

stepped into the bathroom and grabbed Theo's hair shampoo, emptying it into my empty shampoo container. Then, I filled Theo's shampoo container with the pink dye Karla had given me two weeks ago. I wonder how he would look with pink hair. I suppose he would still look hot. Focus, Dev. The plan is to make him look hideous. I took my bath and got dressed in a yellow dress that highlighted my curves. Theo was so going to get it from me. I carefully did my makeup before curling my hair in loose curls. I stepped into the sitting room and Luke whistled. "Morning, Luke" I said, giving him a smile."This is really a good morning. Tell me, princess. What's going on? " he asked, taking a sip from his cup of tea. "Don't blame me, Theo started it" I said. He smirked. "Now this should be interesting. What did he do?""He pranked me"Theo walked in and froze when he saw me, his eyes roving over my dress."Devon, what the hell?" He said. "Have a great day" I said and grabbed my bag.Theo bit his lower lip. He looked like he was trying to hold back his laughter. I narrowed my eyes and slowly opened my bag. I let out a loud scream when I saw the bugs in my bags. Terrified, I threw my bag seven feet from where I was standing. My face burned a bright pink as Theo and Luke's thunderous laughter reached my ears. "You're not getting away with this, you jerk! You just traumatized me! " I said. "Dev-"I let out a bitter chuckle. "Game on! Screw you, Theo!" I said. "Oh dude, you've got it bad. You're so screwed mate" Luke said to Theo.I flipped my hair dramatically and stormed off. When I got into my car, I hit the gas and drove off. I hit the brakes several blocks away and let out the bubble of laughter I'd been holding in. It felt really good. Theo had looked so guilty. My poor baby.If only he knew what I had in stock for him.

THEO

I let out a sigh as I stepped into the bathroom. I undressed and got under the shower. I really can't believe I've gotten myself in such a big trouble. Devon actually means business and I wonder what she's up to. I absentmindedly grabbed my shampoo. I probably should've concentrated. I would've noticed that my little kitten had replaced my shampoo with pink dye. Fan-fucking-tastic.

When I was done with my shower, I stared at my reflection in the mirror.Pink hair. Oh, crap.

Take deep breaths, Theo.

There's no need to panic. It's just pink.

Just bubblegum pink.

You can get it out.

Ok, it's still there.

An evil smirk made its way to my lips.

When I ambled into the sitting room, Luke burst into laughter. "What the hell?! Theo you have pink hair! Not just pink but, bubblegum pink! I never thought I would see this day!" He laughed, falling off the couch."Just shut up" I scowled. It only made him laugh harder. I groaned, tugging at my pink hair with frustration. "Dude, you sure look hot in pink" Luke said still laughing hard. I rolled my eyes and went into the kitchen to have a cup of tea. When I came back to the sitting room nursing a cup of tea, Luke and Liam where having a conversation. "Here comes the hottie in pink" Luke said. "Woah, dude what happened to your hair?" Liam asked looking very amused. I groaned and sat down on the sofa opposite them."I'll tell you. He's messing with Devon the prankster"They both burst into laughter. "It looks nice on you though" Liam said still laughing at me. "Enough, okay. I have pink hair now. So, deal with it" I hissed."Oh poor Teddy, do you need your nappies changed? " Luke drawled."If you do not shut up, I will make you" I snapped. "Okay, okay, chill dude"

"Where were you anyway? " I asked Liam."I went for a run, you know the one humans do in the morning? " he said. I scoffed. "Slim it nicely, Liam. Don't piss him off further" Luke said. "Well, to be honest, I don't know why I'm here. I still haven't gotten over the fact that you stole Devon from me"

LUKE

As soon as Liam made that statement, Theo's eyes flashed gold. "Stole Devon? From you of all people? You're the one who stole her from me" Theo said, rising to his feet. The temperature of the sitting room started to rise. Blame it on the high testosterone level in the room. "Okay, guys--stop it" I said, rising to my feet to stop them from hitting each other. "Stay out of this, Blondie" Liam hissed. "Seriously? I thought we've gone over this several times. My name is Lucian not Blondie" I sighed."Do I look like I care?""Guys, you're not supposed to be fighting against each other. You should be a team...not enemies. But, there's no rule that says that the Red Wolf and the Chimaera can't exchange a punch or two. So, let's take this outside" I said. "Fine" Liam said"Wait, what? I was only joking" I said, horrified. "Screw you, Blondie" Oh shit*****************Minutes had passed and they were still being logger heads. Liam had a sophisticated black eye while Theo had a nice cut on his upper lip. Liam suddenly pounced on Theo, his fist colliding with Theo's ribs. Oof, that's gotta hurt really bad. I tried to stop the fight but they were just too stubborn and strong. I totally had no chance against the two of them. Theo pushed Liam off himself and rose to his feet. His eyes flashed gold again. Okay, that's bad. He grabbed Liam's neck, squeezing until Liam's knees hit the ground. "Theo! Stop it you're going to kill him! " I said, trying to ease his grip on Liam's neck."Get your hands off me, Fynn" Theo growled and I froze. He'd just used my real name, meaning Daeron was the one talking. It was like dejavu. He was gaining his powers back but couldn't control it. "Daeron, please let him go" I said but he only glared at me. I heaved a sigh of relief when I heard Devon drive in and park her car. She stepped out of the car, her eyes widening when she saw what was happening. She rushed forward. "Dae, please let him go" she whispered. He hesitated, golden eyes meeting blue ones.She pressed her lips to his and he released Liam immediately. When she pulled away, his eyes were green."W-what happened just now? " Theo asked, looking guilty. "You tried to kill Liam" I said. "W-what?" Theo said, looking terrified. "Can someone explain to me what's going on? " Devon asked, looking very displeased.

DEVON

"So, Liam is the Red Wolf? How is that even possible?" I asked, eyes wide. "We honestly have no idea" Luke replied. I sighed, turning to look at Theo who looked really pale and terrified. Liam, on the other hand, looked sober."Look guys, I don't appreciate the fact that you two are willing to kill each other on my behalf . It makes me feel like a horrible person. Liam, I'm sorry things didn't work out between us. I'm so sorry for the lies I told. You loved and cared for me and I appreciate that. But, you should know that Theo was made for me and I, for him. I know it's hard for you, Liam. But please, I need you to accept it. We have a common enemy now: the silver beast which has become a nightmare to both the fae and the humans. We should all come together to face this common enemy and help protect our world" I said. There was a deafening silence after my little speech. They all stared at me with awe. "Now, that's a nice speech, princess" Luke said, smiling. I gave a mock curtsey and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch. I was starving. Theo embraced me from behind, wrapping his arms around me. "I'm so sorry" he whispered turned to look at him, the sincerity in his eyes, overwhelming."It's okay, you lost control" "It's not okay, you know that" he sighed. "Theo, you weren't in your right mind. I forgive you" I said, turning to focus on the lasagna I was making. "You sure gave such a nice speech, kitten" he said and I blushed."You look hot in pink though" I said and he chuckled."You know what? ""What?" I said"You win"

"You won't prank me again? " I asked. He shrugged"I make no promises, kitten" he said, kissing my neck. I giggled, relaxing in his hold. "I love you, my prank queen"

"Love you too, baby"
