Chapter 179 - One Hundred And Seventy-nine: Where Is Your Horn. (2/2)

Well, maybe Anabelle does have some usefulness. Though Isabella wondered what she said to Granny for her to leave her precious granddaughter Maya and head home.

”Alright, no time to waste. Grab your glasses, everyone” Isabella urged them.

”Are we going to toast as Daddy does on ceremonial occasions?” Anabelle asked with a hint of excitement.

”Yes, Anabelle. That is what we're obviously about to do” Isabella gestured to their glasses lifted in the air. She mumbled under her breath, ”I wonder sometimes whether a zombie ate your brain ”

”So cool” Anabelle cooed, not minding her cousin's exasperated look.

”To our first coming of age alcoholic drink ever - well, to you guys to be precise” Isabella pointed out the fact that this wasn't her first time.

”Fine,” Pedro groaned.

”To our first coming of age alcoholic drink” The trio chorused, clicked glasses, and proceeded to drink from it.

Isabella threw her head back and finished the content in one gulp.

Pedro glimpsed at her and followed her step, scrunching up his face afterward when he felt a mysterious warmth journey down his throat.

Anabelle stared at the both of them inquisitively, took a large sip yet wrinkled her nose.

”It tastes sweet yet sour and I feel the burn in my throat” Innocent Anabelle felt her throat with her hand.

”What are you drinking, water? Milk? You're drinking alcohol, dumbhead” Isabella said sarcastically.

”It feels awful yet it feels good and did I forget to mention the apple taste is so good” observed Anabelle.

She savored her drink slowly, taking the sliced apple into her mouth.

”This drink has a much gentler flavor and lower alcohol content which I hope you both don't get drunk from,” Isabella told them while downing another glass.

”I need a refill” Pedro lifted his cup which made Anabelle finish hers in a hurry, presenting her cup quickly to the superintendent.

”Me too”

”This is not milk” Isabella warned both.

”Please”

”Fine, a second glass, and we're done. Better we keep some for Maya before she goes gaga when she finds out  - half bread is better than none”

So, Isabella poured out the drinks for the second time and the third for herself.

”I'm curious about something,” asked Pedro who currently had a flush on his cheeks and eyes going unfocused.

”Sure, go ahead” Isabella shook the dizziness out of her eyes.

He pointed at her, ”Why do we two always follow you into danger every time”

Isabella began to laugh but burped in-between,” Because I'm the alpha female and you two losers” she pointed sluggishly at Pedro and Anabelle, ” Are my followers - you are my beta and my moronic cousin, the omega ”

”I-I no omega ” Anabelle's words slurred and stood to her feet unsteadily.

”Where are you going?” Isabella eyed her because she moved, stumbling about like an intoxicated person.

”Pee, bathroom” she pointed with no sense of direction.

”That is not the toilet...”

Isabella watched Anabelle head to Maya's wardrobe, swing the double door open, and locked herself in.

”Great” Isabella slapped her forehead and threw up her hands in surrender, ”I give up”

She was yet to recover from the shock when she felt a weight on her shoulder. Pedro was relaxing against her, his hot breath fanning her neck.

Her eyes narrowed, ”What are you doing?”

Pedro ignored her question, instead focused all his attention on his hand threading through her hair.

”Why do you look beautiful?” Came his strange question.

”Why? You don't like it?”

”No, I like it. But you're a devil - where's your horn?”

Isabella yanked away his hand searching her forehead for the so-called horn out of irritation. This was not how she planned this, these losers ruined everything - they couldn't handle the little alcohol.

”Shit” Isabella cursed when she heard Maya's voice coming in the direction of the room.

Drunk or not, she sprang up to her feet like a cat causing Pedro to drop to the ground since he has been using her body for support.

”What should I do?” She panicked until an idea came into her mind.

It was obvious Maya would pull her ear and would take the brunt of the punishment because she's the only one awake during the peak of Maya's anger - they would face this together.

With lightning speed, Isabella dragged and pushed Pedro under the bed, alongside every evidence of their little drinking fun before joining him.

The door clicked open at that moment but Isabella was secured under the bed which had bed linen that hid them from view.

She just hoped that Anabelle's bladder was full enough to keep her in that wardrobe till Maya left.
