;Game; Chapter 44

;Cottage;
Pov: Aylean

After figuring out a plan with Jax, we parted our ways. I had to dodge a couple more patrols on my way back to the cottage.

Once I finally arrived back home, I walked in to see all of my pack mates arguing in the living room, arguing. All of their eyes turned to me as I closed the door behind me.

"Luna!" They all yelled enthusiastically in unison.

Satin wagged her tail in my head, and I smiled. I raised a brow at them and glanced behind them only to catch a glimpse of a monopoly game.

That explains why they were arguing.

I pulled off my shoes and walked over to the six of them and sat down beside Keith and Zahara "So who's winning?"

All of them in unison pointed to Keith and I widened my eyes in shock "Really?"  I asked.

Keith smirked and handed me his properties to look through. I counted. This man had 19 properties out 28, I handed him back his properties as he basically puffed out his chest like a proud cat.

I chuckled then continued to watch the bickering between my pack mates, as they all struggled to overpower Keith.

At one point Edric went completely broke and he had to sell one of his properties, however they all refused to sell it to Keith.

He was just smiling calmly "Come on I'll pay you $300" he said calmly.

"I'll pay you $350!" Zahara said, I couldn't help but giggle at their ridiculous bickering.

"I'll pay you $400!" Asher chimed in, and I glanced at his money pile. He definitely had enough.

"$450 and I'll let you off the debt of landing on my property" Keith raised a brow holding up the brightly coloured paper.

Edric chewed his lip, but reluctantly gave up and handed Keith the card and grabbed the money from him.

I glanced at Keith's pile of money, he still had one thousand. I shook my head and smiled.

This game is going to last awhile.

It was Emilia's turn next. I stood up and walked into the kitchen they were too focused to even notice me leaving and I only smiled.

"Yes!" I heard Emilia yell happily, and Zane curse. I chuckled and grabbed a wooden cheese platter.

Whilst listening to their continuous bickering I grabbed a knife and a couple of crackers, neatly placing it on the cheese platter then I cut up a few different cheeses and thinned meats, and other things.

I brought the platter into the living room after washing the knife, and placed it on the coffee table that was moved aside for the game.

I then grabbed a cracker and some cheese and plopped it into my mouth before taking my place beside Keith and Zahara.

I glanced at Keith's money, I left for not even five minutes at this man now had 27 of out 28 properties, I glanced around who had the last property and Asher was holding onto it.

Zahara rolled and landed on a property with a hotel on it, she glared at her mate and I chuckled. "C'mon babe you gotta pay me" he teased light heartedly.

Zahara huffed "How much do I owe you?" She asked.

"$700" Keith said proudly, Zahara gaped at her mate and I almost burst out laughing.

"Nope. I'm out, I only have $200" Zahara mumbled and gave her mate the money then stood up and walked over the couch to sit down.

The next one to go down was Edric, honestly I was surprised he wasn't the first one out earlier, considering he was basically thriving off a dollar majority of the game.

Soon the only two people that were standing was Emilia and Keith, she was struggling to do anything with her belly in the way.

We were all intensely watching as Emilia struggled to survive in the empire that Keith had built around the board.

We all inhaled a collective breath as Emilia landed on Keith's property. "How much do I owe you?" She asked.

Keith glanced at the name of the property and smirked "$1000" he basically cooed.

Emilia shot him a glare, but she grabbed her money and began counting. She was out that round.

We all sighed, and Keith jumped up and did a victory dance. By the end of the game the cheese platter had been refilled four times by everyone that wasn't playing.

Emilia grumbled in defeat as she began collecting the pieces, Marissa and I got off the couch and began helping her gather up the materials.

Keith helped the very pregnant Emilia to her feet and he lightly kissed the top of her hand "Good game,"

He earned a growl from her two mates and he raised his hands in surrender "Just being a gentleman" he said softly.

I laughed when he turned to see Zahara scowling at him with her arms crossed along her chest. She raised a brow at him and Keith let out a nervous chuckle.

"I love you?" He questioned. Zahara huffed and turned away from him pouting.

"I'm sorry babe" Keith looked at his mate and walked closer to her. You could hear the whimper in his voice and Zahara completely ignored him in a playful manner, as the girl tried to stifle her smile.

"I will start singing if you don't forgive me" Keith protested. Zahara's eyes widened, but she didn't look at him.

"As you wish" Keith smirked, and my eyes widened.

He wasn't actually going to sing was he?

I glanced at Marissa and Zane who subtly plugged their ears, and I furrowed my brows together.

Everyone was now staring at the playful duel happening in front of us, as Keith took in a deep breath.

"I wAnNa mAkE up RiGhT nOw nA nA
I wAnNa mAkE up RiGhT nOw nA nA
WiSh We NeVeR bRoKe up RiGhT nOw nA Na"  Keith began and I cringed as he was out of tune and Zahara looked at him with wide eyes. "I LoOoVe YoU~" Keith sang off key as he grabbed her hand.

I swear this man was singing off key on purpose, and I was trying so hard to stifle my laughter. Zahara chewed the inside of her lip trying to stifle her own laughter.

Keith got onto one knee and continued to singing a weird mashup version of a bunch of random songs together "I'm SoRrY mY lOoVe I kNoW I mEsSed Up!"

Keith wiped a fake tear and we all burst out laughing, Zahara covered his mouth and he continued to singing expect it was muffled.

"Okay, okay, I forgive you" Zahara giggled and Keith jumped to his feet and pulled his mate into an embrace.
