Alpha On the Hunt Chapter 16 âWhatâs up?â
âDo you know anything about pads?â I ask him.
âPads?â
âYou know pads, period pads?â Eli blinks at me.
âAre you having an identity crisis? Like Iâm full support, but shouldnât pads wait until after the sex change?â What the fuck is he talking about? He keeps rambling.
âIâm pretty sure you still wonât get your periods even with one,â he looks at the screen thoughtfully and I raise an eyebrow at him.
âBut this explains so much, your mood swings, your growing hunger. Alpha side effect? Or the hormone replacements?â
âNot for me, you idiot! For Elena!â
âIsnât she breastfeeding?â Eli asks. Huh, what is it with breastfeeding and periods? I growl and he jumps.
âFine, fine, turn the camera around. What are the options?â I turn the camera around, showing him, and he whistles.
âWow! Okay, all this for a bleeding snatch, okay I can work with this! What size is she?â Eli asks. Huh?
Size, what does he mean? There are sizes?
âWhat do you mean?â
âYou know, is she a loosey-goosey, a tighty-â I snarl at him.
âYou did not just ask me that!â
âIâm only trying to help!â
âHang on, I will ask one of the guys!â he says.
âSlater! Come here!â Eli calls out. I glance around to find the cashier boy watching me, curiously.
âWhatâs up!â I hear called back in the background, and I pinch the bridge of my nose.
âWe got a bleeder! Just get over here!â Eli calls out and I growl. Does he have to alert the entire world to the fact Elena has her period?
âYou know anything about pads?â Eli asks him.
âYour bleeding, where?â slater asks.
âNa, Luna got bleeding snatch and our alpha is trying to figure out which snatch pluggers to buy.â Iâm going to kill him.
âWhat size is she?â Slater asks and I growl.
âI swear to god another person asks me about her pussy once more. I will banish both you two fools.â
âGeez, Alpha, only trying to help. What are the options?â I turn the camera.
âDo they do a one size fits all?â Slater asks. I growl when Khan gives me an idea.
âWait, ask her mother!â I tell him. Eli groans, looking back at the screen.
âNo, that old witch shot me in the ass with a pellet last night!â
âLouise did?â I ask a little shocked.
âNo, Sondra!â I blink down at him, and he rolls his eyes at me.
âFine, but if I get shot, youâre pulling the pellet from my ass,â he growls. I stand in the aisle like an idiot waiting for him to walk to the house.
âWhat do you want?â I hear Sondra snarl at him, making me pay attention to the phone again.
âIâm looking for Louise,â
âNot here. Now get off my porch.â Eli growls and I see him go to leave.
âWait, she is a female, ask her!â
âYou ask her!â Eli says.
âAsk me what? Spit it out pup, I ainât getting any younger!â I hear her snarl, making me remember mine and Elenaâs conversation about the old woman last night.
âIâm not asking, you ask her. Here, my alpha wants to speak to you.â I hear the phone exchange hands as the screen goes black.
Then I see her face as she squints at the phone, holding it away. âAh⦠why the fuck is your head on the screen? Your voice is bad enough.â she snaps at me and I shake my head. I hear Eli explain it is a video call.
âWhat do you want? Louise isnât here!â
âI need to ask you about feminine problems. Youâre a woman.
I tell her.
âGood observation, son. Youâre not a complete dimwit after all. Did you just figure that out?â she asks, glaring at the screen. Sighing, I glare back at her.
âListen here, you old dragon; I just need to ask a question. No need to be aââ she raises, and eyebrow and purses her lips.
âFix it yourself. Call me a dragon you little mutt, I have taken shits bigger than you!â she snarls, handing the phone back. âItâ s for Elena!â I blurt. She pulls the phone back.
âWhat about Elena?â
âDo you know what pad size Elena uses?â
âWhat?â
âYou know pad size! For periods?â
âPeriods! I havenât had a period in twenty years. My old meat flaps dried and shriveled up years ago, along with my ovaries. What would I know about pads? Roll up some rags.â she snaps.
âSurely you would know what women use!â
âThat depends. Am I a woman or a dragon?â she snaps.
I press my lips in a line. âJust apologize to the old bat!â Khan snaps at me, wanting to get off the phone with her.
âIâm sorry I called you an old dragon. Can you answer the question?â
âAnd how did that taste rolling off your tongue?â
âBitter, so can you help?â She seems to think for a second.
âFine, show me.â she huffs. âI canât see your screen is blurry. Oi, Michelle!â I hear her yell out before hearing a faint answer.
âWhat does Elena use for..â
âNo, what size!â I tell her.
âWhat size pads does Elena use?â I canât hear her answer but itâs clear she does answer.
âApparently, she uses period briefs, better for the environment and cheaper,â Sondra explains. I nod, looking for these period briefs before seeing a giant packet on the top shelf. I grab it down and read the front.
Extra absorbent and discreet. âThese ones?â I ask. Sondra squints at the screen.
âThey look like briefs to me!â
âThanks,â I tell her, hanging up and moving to the front of the store to where the checkout boy is waiting.
I pass him the huge bag, and he raises an eyebrow at me. I shake my head and he quickly bags them, and I pay. Leaving the store, I put the boys back in their car seats and clip them in before moving to the trunk with the stroller.
âNo, lift and squeeze.â Khan orders as I try to make the stroller collapse. I try it but it doesnât collapse.
After about twenty minutes, I am still struggling with the stroller, so I give up and try to jam it in the trunk. I slam the lid down, only for it to pop back open. Growling, Khan shoves forward and hits the trunk, a wheel pops off, and the lid creases.
âKhan!â
âIt worked, didnât it?â I growl, muttering under my breath, and climb in the car and head home to Elena.
