With very little patience, I watch and cross my fingers that this works. The pack house is old. The wiring and plumbing are almost all original to when it was built. Maybe I should do something about that…
Then, I grin. Nope. Dawsyn gets to handle that soon.
I hear a cheer from upstairs just as Andie pulls her hands back. “Power should be on. I’ll need to come down and check on it every few hours, but the spell should hold.”
“Pays to have a witch for a best friend,” I tell her with a laugh.
“We make quite the collection of traits within our little group,” she adds. “Who would have thought wolf shifters, witches, vampires, fae, and dragons could cohabitate?”
Then, we look at each other and roll our eyes as we both say, “Beatrix.”
Getting back outside, I tense from the frigid air. Even my wolf shifter genes can’t keep me warm in this weather.
Fresh snow is still falling, and now that I’m not in a hurry to get the power back on…it’s time to take my own advice and stop caring about the details. We need some fun.
“How do you feel about getting wet?” I ask her with a heavy dose of glee in my voice.
Her lips push together, and I can see the humor in her eyes before she even speaks. “Not something I normally do with anyone other than Foster, but I’m listening.”
That isn’t at all what I meant, especially with people around, but… No, focusing on fun with family. Not my mate.
“How about a snowball fight with no magic or super speeds allowed?” I ask her, then reach for a handful of snow. “And the two of us get a head start.”
“Now, we’re talking,” she says devilishly. “We can stockpile, then set the rules and dominate everyone.”
And this is why we’re best friends.
“Women versus men?” I ask. “Or everyone for themselves?”
“Oh, you know it has to be us against them,” she agrees. “They’ll think they can kick our asses even without powers. Proving them wrong will be the highlight of the weekend.”
Why yes, it will be.
We move further into the sparse trees and start to make the snowballs for us and the other women as quickly as we can without being gone too long. Once there are four decent piles for us to start with, Andie and I race back inside, laughing the entire way.
When we get through the back door, our mates are waiting for us.
“What the hell happened to the two of you?” Roman asks, giving me a onceover.
I realize too late that our hair is already soaked from the falling snow and our clothes from walking through are as well.
“I accidentally tripped Cait, which caused her to grab on to my arm, and we both ended up in the snow,” Andie says, saving us with her quick thoughts. “But it did give us an idea…”
The two men share a concerned look.
“And that would be?” Foster asks, glancing between the two of us.
“A snowball fight,” we answer at the same time.
Their smiles begin to match ours, but they haven’t heard the rules yet.
I grab Roman’s hand and guide him toward the living room where I hear the others. “Come on. We’re making everyone participate.”
Now, this is what this weekend should be about.
