Watching the over fifty-year-old men bickering like a father and son was endearing. I could see why people flocked to Dan. Every interaction with him had me loving him more.
Someone knocked on the door and Caleb called out, “Come in, Kieran.”
“How did you know it was him?” I asked.
Caleb canted his head. “You could as well if you had paid more attention to your connection to him through the clan bond.”
“Wait, clan bond? Does that mean you can add people to a bond that isn’t our pack, mate, one?”
He nodded. “As king, I am able to add people to our clan. Papa Dan and Papa Emrys walked me through it with Kieran.”
Kieran walked in and smiled at us. “Good morning. I just wanted to report that the newcomers who are opting to live here are in the available houses. The rest are waiting for you and all are very appreciative of the food provided.”
“Thank you,” Caleb said. “Have you eaten yet? Would you like to join us?”
“Thanks, but Sheila is making us breakfast right now,” he said.
Smiling, I asked, “So, how are things with Sheila and Ambrose?”
His cheeks reddened, and he cleared his throat before answering, “They’re going well, thank you for asking.”
“We happen to be in possession of some unused bloodstones, should you need them, just so you know,” Caleb said with a wink.
Kieran’s entire face reddened. “It’s far too soon for that.”
“Just keep that in mind for the future then,” Caleb said.
“You’re the hawk shifter, right?” Dan asked.
Kieran nodded. “Yes, sir.”
“Are you much of a fighter?”
“You’ve got an entire pack of werewolves, why are you trying to steal people from my clan?” I asked with a scowl.
“Your clan, I like the sound of that,” Kieran said with a smile.
“Well, you are,” I muttered, feeling embarrassed.
“Kieran,” Caleb growled. “Don’t flirt with your queen in front of your king.”
“I’ll make sure to do it when you’re away next time,” Kieran said with a wink at me. Clearly, he was in a mood to get Caleb back for embarrassing him earlier.
“I have a lot of people, but I’m always on the lookout for talent,” Dan said, answering me. “There being hawk shifters isn’t well known right now, so he would make a great spy.”
“Did I jinx us by bringing up spies earlier?” I asked Branson.
He chuckled. “Seems that way.”
“Well, the decision is ultimately up to Kieran,” Caleb said. “I know you were looking for work, Kieran, and Dan pays well.”
“I’m not the best fighter, but I have been known to spy a bit,” Kieran said and turned his head away from me.
“I better go greet our new clan members,” Caleb said. “Thank you for your offer, and I look forward to seeing the construction crews.”
Dan nodded and raised his hand in goodbye,
Caleb kissed my cheek as he walked by, and I frowned at my plate on the table.
