Chasing His Tail

Chapter 19: Lucky Mermaid Hugs

milo pov

"My heart is pierced by Cupid

I disdain all glittering gold

There is nothing can console me

But my Jolly sailor bold

My father is a merchant

The truth I now will tell

And in great London city

Opulence don't dwell

His fortune doth exceed

300, 000 gold

And he frowns upon his daughter

Who loves a sailor bold

A fig for his riche

mmmmmm

mmmmmmm..."

I sang to myself while I was laying in the bathtub washing myself luckily the tubs were big enough at the pack house so my tail could just fit in fine without too much trouble. it's been three days since I came to the pack house and it's been really nice. minus the few attempt from shewolves wanting to sleep with me but besides that it was going well

iris friends liked me or at least I'm pretty sure most of them do. I know harper is ok with me and ever since Anabelle learned that I was the boy iris mention to her in some story she's been nothing but nice to me. the best part about being around those two being is that because they have mates they aren't affected by me they're almost like another pair of iris's

after I finished with my bath I climbed out and dried myself off on the bed before turning on the tv and watching all the Christmas shows on Hallmark. the others were downstairs right now along with most of the other pack members unwrapping their presents and while I was curious to see what some of them got I knew that I should probably leave them alone since today was about family

it was times like these that I missed my own family, but then I remembered my sisters all chasing me around giving me too much attention, my father going on and on and on about how I was the future of our world and my mother constantly asking what is it that I liked in a woman so she could figure out if I'll be able to have one wife or multiple. and sadly, most of those times happened when I was only a kid

"the fools" I sighed shaking my head hoping that my aunt was at least ok

"Upon one summer's morning

I carefully did stray

Down by the warls of wapping

Where I met a sailor gay"

I started to sing out of boredom till I looked out the window and felt the urge to leave. but held in my want for at least a solid hour before I couldn't take it anymore and got out of bed heading outside. I already had lotion on so I was fine. I was planning on just slipping downstairs and leaving without being noticed only once I got downstairs I found all the kids running around playing with their new toys and the others looking like they were about to go out

"milo, you're up" harper said surprised making the others turn to me

"yeah"

"so.... you want to come with us, we're gonna go hang around till it gets dark enough to watch lights" Ryder offered. It looks like he got new clothes by the visible creases on his new shirt and pants. I wanted to tell him yes but I soon felt the need to leave building up in me

"um, I don't know dude you guys-" I started

"its fine it's not a big deal at all" Anabelle waved off making the others pitch in and I internally groaned before nodding my head and went over to them following iris as she got on her bike
