The Red Means I love you - A Wenclair Scream AU

Chapter 5

The cold morning air made Donovan pull his vest closer to his body, a cup of coffee in his hands. He wasn't in the talking mood, nor did he want to be part of the case. Unfortunately, he was the only sheriff the town had. He was called early in the morning, a student from Nevermore reporting the body. They'd found Tyler, Or more accurately, what was left of him.

Donovan didn't want to look, he didn't want to enter the crypt despite looming ever closer. His son was dead, his only son, dead in the crypt, viserated and ripped apart, just like the very bodies he'd originally killed in the forest.

The human man shuddered, turning away from the doors just as he pushed them open. His pulse rang in his ears, blood gushing and rushing through his veins, his breathing quickened and he spilled his coffee as he dropped to his knees, retching up what little breakfast he'd had that morning.

Wednesday woke up in an unusually good mood, a gentle smile tugging at their lips when they woke up alongside their mate. Enid was still asleep, arms wrapped around Wednesday's waist and her head snuggled against their chest. They didn't complain, but they picked their phone up and snapped a picture, sending it to the group chat consisting of their friends.

'9:00 AM

Wednesday: [A picture of Enid asleep against their chest]

Eugene: You too look Bee-autiful together!

Xavier: Low key feeling some kinda way when a dog is getting more bitches than me

Bianca: Xav shut the fuck up, Enids cool

Ajax: Yeah you pussy. You just can't get anyone to like you enough to date you anyway

Yoko: @Xavier Damnnnn, Would agree though. No way Enid would lose to you Bro

Wednesday: They are correct Thorpe, you are inconsequential to me @Xavier

Wednesday: Especially when you assaulted me behind the greenhouse week before, you are nothing but filth Xavier Thorpe. If you say another word about Enid, I will eliminate you. Do you understand?

Xavier: Like you'd do anything to me Wens <3

Wednesday: Very well, I shall be seeing you soon Thorpe.

[Wednesday has gone offline]

Yoko: Hold on guys we gotta help Wednesday hide a body!

Eugene: We can use the space around the hives.

Divina: Nah, let Yoko drain him or something

Yoko: Ew noooo, he probably tastes like garbage

Ajax: I could stone him and we can crush him maybe???

Enid: Wait Guys why are we plotting murder????'

Wednesday frowned at the sight of their wolf awake, phone in hand and eyes drooping, eyebrows furrowed in adorable confusion. It made the Addams heir feel warm inside. "Good morning Wens. Why are we plotting murder in the group chat?"

Wednesday pressed a gentle kiss to Enid's nose, watching as she huffed and wiggled her nose afterwards. "It's nothing you need worry yourself with, Amore Mia."

Enid frowned more In confusion and whined, giving Wednesday a quick peck on the lips before pulling away and climbing out of the nest of combined beds. She needed breakfast! It was a great way to get rid of the evidence, Enid definitely enjoyed it too! Wednesday definitely had rubbed off on her more than she realized. Though at the least she in good conscious could eat them, knowing they were bad people in life.

Wednesday watched their mate go and moved until comfortable on the bed again. They yawned and let themselves fall back asleep, soothed by the sounds of their mate getting ready for the day, and reading back through the group chat. Though their mate wasn't pleased about learning what Xavier had done. Sure, Enid understood that Wednesday was definitely traumatized from it, but her wolf bristled at the mere idea of anyone hurting her mate, so they had to pay! And if Enid brought back a courting gift made from Xavier in return for Tyler's heart, there was an additional bonus.
