What the hell was going on here?
"Which is your spirit animal?"
I blinked at them both. "I don't have one."
Amara sniffed then mumbled something in Ukrainian.
Quin appeared to understand some of what she was saying because his lips twitched.
"Are you here to see anyone in particular?"
"Lily, I guess." I tugged on my lapels. "Have I interrupted something?"
"Just a BBQ." He beckoned me inside. "Come in. There's plenty of food to go around." He peered at the car idling in the driveway. "You can invite them in too. They won't come to any harm. It's a family day."
I blinked again. "MCs have family days?"
"They do now."
That was as much information as I got about that.
But, if it was a picnic, that meant Katina would be around somewhere. Hopefully playing so I could potentially talk to her about Lodestar…
That didn’t sound at all predatory, did it?
Grimacing at the thought, I twisted back and stared at Lucas until he opened the window.
"You’re invited in," I called out before I stepped inside, grateful for the relatively warm welcome, waiting only for my guards who scampered in, their surprise clear.
As Amara closed the door behind us all, I muttered to them, "Behave. Or I'll have your balls on a platter."
"She means it," Lucas drawled.
Cade snorted. "What if that's what I'm into?"
"Shut the fuck up," Lucas ground out, low enough that I shouldn't have been able to hear...
If I'd needed confirmation, I had it—Lucas was definitely the older brother.
I left them to it, reasoning that Lucas was Aidan's captain and my main guard because he had some brains and knew not to piss off an MC on home turf. And if Cade fucked up, well, that was on us both.
I had a double-pronged mission.
Well, multiple prongs in all honesty.
The house was as luxuriously appointed on the inside as the outside suggested.
There were some installations in one room that I justknewwere Aela's work. The intricate glass baubles gave me the idea that I'd like those in my apartment.
Hey, I was family. She'd give my commission priority, right?
Knowing Aela, she wouldn't.
I smirked at the thought as we crossed the room that I'd seen through a camera, but not in person.
This was the first time I'd come here, though I knew Lodestar had been living with Lily and her partner, Link, ever since there'd been a blast at the MC's compound.
Katina's older sister, Alessa, also lived on the grounds somewhere, in a pool house I thought Star had once told me. She had a partner too—Maverick.
