“To bring you home!” I thundered
Lavender blinked and took a step back. “To bring me home?” she asked in a small voice.
Gage kept his voice level, but I could smell the anxiety rolling off him. “We love you, Lavender and we want to do this the right way, through the Haven. Bring you home as Pack Rowe’s official omega.”
“Why?” Lavender’s response was simple.
“Why?” Archer repeated in a strangled voice.
“Yeah, why? Because if I am coming back with youwillingly,” she hissed the last word quietly. “Then you’d better tell me why you love me.”
“Because you are a stubborn ass. You regularly go toe to toe with us even though that's basically a chihuahua going up against a rottweiler,” Gage babbled, all his words rushing out. I didn’t know if I should stop him or not.
“That’sverycomplimentary,” Lavender snarked, crossing her arms.
“Shut up, you know you’re beautiful. We want to do this the right way because we want to spend the rest of our lives listening to you and Theo debate how best to dispose of a body over dinner, or listening to you prattle on about how a planet is in the microwave somehow—”
“Retrograde,” Lavender interjected.
“You know what I mean.” Gage levelled her with a playful glare.
“Home isn’t the same without you, Lavender,” Archer said. “The house is empty and cold. We can’t even go near your rooms because we hate you not being there.”
“You clubbed me with a lamp so you know I adore you.” Theo smirked.
“As for me,” I started to speak. “I owe you everything.”
Her face softened as she pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. “Kane…”
“Without you I never would have accepted that I was part of this pack, I would have stayed cold and distant. You…” I paused trying to find the words. “You helped free my sister, Lavender—I fucking owe youeverything.I shouldn’t be asking you for anything, but I still want more. I want you in our home, as part of our family. But it’s your choice, Lavender. I refuse to let anyone make that decision for you.”
Lavender looked between us for a moment, her face softening further. Taking a deep breath, she stepped closer to the glass between us. We were inches apart and I wanted to reach out and touch her so badly.
“In that case… I think I better talk to the Keepers.” She smirked. “You lot better get your courting gifts ready, because I’m wortha lotof gummy bears. If I’m not in a diabetic coma from the sheer sugar overdose then you’re not doing it right!”
ChapterForty-Nine
Lavender
Itiptoed down the corridor toward the den, hiding my surprise behind my back. Everyone was in the den waiting for takeout to arrive, so it was the perfect opportunity for me.
Settling into pack life had been far easier than I’d ever imagined. It had taken a few weeks to do everything the appropriate way. I had spent a week with them visiting me daily bringing me all manner of gifts and candy. It had been wonderful but every night I had cried at how lonely I felt without them in bed with me. The moment they signed all the paperwork and brought me home we had hunkered down in the nest and refused to leave for several days.
The ease of every day was shocking in a new way. There was no jealousy. I was never worried about giving too much or too little attention to any pack members—everything just flowed and meshed easily.
The sex was also completely mind blowing and I had become a bit of a nymphomaniac. At any time of the day, on any and all surfaces, everything was game.
Archer and Kane were sitting opposite each other, a chess board between them, Kane had been annihilating Archer lately and he was stubbornly trying to regain his title as chess champion of the house. Gage was sitting on the sofa scrolling through his phone. He looked up to smirk at me, knowing full well what I was about to do—he was the one who helped me obtain my little surprise.
Theo, the intended recipient, was lounging on the sofa, his attention firmly on whatever game he was playing on the TV.
“Hey Princess,” he murmured, only looking away from the screen briefly.
“Heya,” I did my best to keep my voice casual.
When he went to open his mouth again, I moved before he could speak. Pulling my surprise from behind my back I plopped the tiny Ragdoll kitten on his chest.
Theo’s immediate reaction was to go completely still. “Is that a cat?” he asked.
