Chasing His Tail

Chapter 16: Your Mates?!?!?!

once again I was on the beach drying off milos tail only after ten minutes he was still crying for some reason

"what did I say about crying" I sighed tired of hearing his sniffling

"i-im just happy" he sniffled

"t-t-the sand wasn't comfortable, the fish wouldn't stop talking, my aunt didn't send money again and....and a person called me a fat manatee this morning" he cried while I rolled my eyes

"god you sound like your pmsing" I said wondering if it was a good thing to have milo and a hormone pregnant women in the same place

"what?" he asked just before his legs finally shifted back

"nothing forgets about it" I sighed before looking at his necklace to see it as in the shape of a fish hook. how ironic

"where's your stuff?" I asked getting up

"I left it near one of the beach shacks the women was nice enough to hold it for me when I asked" he announced.

"alright let's go get it and from your stomach growling your gonna want food too" I pointed out and he looked up at me teary eyed

"no more tears of happiness" I quickly pointed out making him hold it in before wiping his eyes

"ok" he said but quickly went close to the water

"rex, hunter I'm going to be on shore for a while. I'll see you two later" he shouted confusing me till I saw two fins in the water before they went back down. guess he was friends with some dolphins

"friends of yours?" I asked

"body guards, we met when I first came here. rex is nice, but hunters not the sharpest sea urchin" he announced

"really, is that a saying?" I asked chuckling a little

"yes, I'm happy that I can say them again now" he said happily while I only sighed. I might honestly be a saint actually helping this kid out

when I woke up this morning I was planning on just checking out work from my other packs but as it turns out they were kept telling me that I can enjoy my break with my family. when they said that I couldn't help but think about how milo was probably going to spend Christmas alone in the ocean so I called up Sabrina and she ended up telling me the truth about the reefs and before I knew it I was on my bike coming over to the beach. I can't leave a cry baby fish in the ocean like that right. the kids like freaking nemo or something

"this is your pack?" milo asked letting go off me as I parked my bike and we headed out the garage

"yeah there's hundreds of them around, but right now this is the one time using" I shrugged while he looked around the place holding onto his bags

"it's nice" he said smiling while some of the pack members came by looking at him strangely probably because of his distorted scent

"wait am I a guest here?" he asked me

"yeah, I don't think you want to join a pack of werewolves do you?" I asked scoffing at the idea

"I should've brought something, then right?" he asked looking worried while I rolled my eyes

"just calm down you don't-" I started

"iris" I heard my dad called before seeing that he was coming down the stairs with my mom

"great" I sighed

"who's this?" they asked looking at milo curious trying to find his scent

"this is my friend mi-Easton. Easton Hartfield. he has some.... problems so he's staying with us" I announced
