I roll my eyes at her but jump up when I hear the front door opening
“Where were you guys? What were you doing? Why is everyone lying to me and you better not keep it from me”
I snap jumping over the sofa to a very amused-looking dad and Branson
“Where is dad?”
Dad asks, I roll my eyes
“I scared him off with my constant badgering”
“Oh really? You need to teach me how to do that”
He looks back at Branson
“Like seriously when the man’s in a cleaning fit there ain’t no stopping him”
I growl
“Dad stop avoiding my question, where did you go? What did you do? Was it about me? What the hell Is it? just tell me it’s driving me insane”
I snap looking between them both dads smirk at me, Branson, on the other hand, looks uncomfortable so I decided to work on him
“Let’s break the bastard”
Karma growls, a devious grin on her face
“So where did you go, Branson?”
His eyes snap to dads then back at me, scratching the back of his head awkwardly
“Don’t you dare”
Dad growls
“Haha it’s working, turn on the charm”
Karma pushes us forward so I grin at him, pulling him into a hug
“I missed you”
His eyes were huge, he was freaking out inside
“So where did you go? What did you do? You weren’t doing anything bad were you?”
He shakes his head
“No nothing bad I promise”
I run my fingers down his chest, playing with his shirt as I flutter my lashes at him
“Please tell me”
“Branson if you tell her I’ll skin you alive”
“Then why did you tell me!”
He grabs my shoulders, turning me around so I’m facing dad
“Look at that face! How am I meant to keep anything from that face”
Branson whines childishly
“It’s called being a man you big man child”
Dad snaps, I snort
“Oh please like you can keep anything from mum”
He zeros his eyes in at me
“See even you are a slabber mouth when it comes to mates, look at that face, it’s so sweet and innocent”
Branson shouts at dad, I look back up at him and flutter my lashes at him again, resting my head on his chest.
“Please tell me, please”
He huffs out a breath pouting he wanted to tell me, looking between us I can practically point out the moment that he snaps grabbing the sides of his face
“We extended my border to include some of your parent's land so the royal Lycan base camp will be next door to us, your parents are moving in so we will be neighbours”
He says it so quickly I hardly hear it, I screw up my nose
“Is that seriously it”
I shake my head
“That was anticlimactic”
I shake my head in annoyance
“Do you not want us there? Why are you not happy about this?”
Dad snaps
“I am, but I figured that’s what was going to happen anyway, you guys can’t live without me”
Dad zeros his eyes in at me
“Plus it makes sense to extend the border, you guys need protection so you will need people running the perimeter”
“We are thinking about bringing some people with us”
I nod my head
“Again it makes sense, we need to trust that you guys will be safe, nothing safer than having our people with us, plus it’s good if they have their own space to live. What kind of house are you thinking about?”
I ask intrigued
“Nothing is finalised yet”
I nod
“You should have just told me, I’d have helped arrange it”
“We wanted it to be a surprise for you”
Branson adds, wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing my cheek. I smile up at him.
“It is a good thing, I like having them close so thanks for making it happen”
He snorts
“Yeah like I had any say in the matter, it was ‘you're doing this or I’m taking my daughter away until you agree to do it”
I snort looking at dad who grins at me
“Well I mean it worked”
Dad said, cocky and playful
“Yeah yeah, now did you have fun shopping?”
Branson asks me, I screw up my nose and shake my head
“Hell no, but it’s done and that’s all that matters”
He gives me a sympathetic smile as mum appears next to dad making Branson jump.
“You guys ready to go?”
My jaw drops
“Damn they are Keen to get rid of us ain’t they”
Karma says pouting
“What’s the rush”
“Well I and your mother have big plans to spend the ni——-“
“—-Wait don’t answer that, yes I’m ready to go and please never talk about your s*x life to me again”
Dad grins at me smugly as he pulls mum back towards his chest, wrapping his arms around her. I take her hand and Branson takes the other one, she portals us away, landing in a densely packed forest with a clearing in the middle with a huge house in the centre of the clearing, a dirt road leading up to the house, a huge garage full of cars sat to the side.
The place was beautiful, it completely stole my breath away as I take it in, it was a large 2 story brick dwelling with a wrap-around porch encasing the bottom floor, and on the top, it had a balcony that ran right around the house, ivy grew up
and around it, making it blend into the thick rich forest that surrounds the place.
“It’s beautiful”
“Come I want to show you inside”
Mum says, grabbing my hand and pulling me with her
“Did you design it?”
I ask her, she rolls her eyes
“Of Course I did, I wasn’t going to let anyone else design your home”
She pulls me onto the porch, and a very giddy-looking Branson follows us in, the door was green matching the theme of the house.
“How did you get ivy to grow everywhere?”
“Hunter, it’s cool isn’t it”
Branson says as he swings the door open and mum pulls me inside, I stop in shock at the sight before me.
As you walk through the door the place opens up into a huge common room, a large kitchen to the side and a seating area around A coffee table with a tv on the wall but right at the back was an enormous kitchen table but that wasn’t the shocking part, the shocking part was the enormous floor-to-ceiling window that sat right at the edge of the mountain, overlooking the entire pack land.
You could see for miles, the sight was breathtaking.
