“Lord help whoever she ends up with,” Jolie said with a shake of her head. “That girl is going to be spoiled and won’t take less than an uber alpha.”

“Or a few of them,” I said with a chuckle.

“You think someone exists who won’t be terrified of meeting all of the royals when she brings them home the first time?” Jolie asked.

I shrugged. “I didn’t think you’d be welcoming, but you were.”

“It’s different for boys and girls, even if I don’t agree with it,” she whispered. “I know the men will be overly protective of her.”

“Yes, they’re going to be incredibly protective. I just hope that we don’t spoil her rotten.”

Jolie shrugged. “I spoiled Caleb rotten and he still managed to find you.”

Rolling my eyes, I shook my head. “He is spoiled rotten.”

“Let’s get food!” Lily shouted and waved her hand at us from where she stood with Ezio and Rhys.

“Okay,” Jolie agreed joyously. “What do you want to eat?”

“Noodles!” Lily exclaimed and raced over to stand before Jolie, hopping from one foot to the other in her excitement.

“The princess has demanded noodles!” Jolie announced. “It shall be so!”

Caleb scooped up Lily and nuzzled her cheek. “Let’s go get those noodles, Princess Lily.”

“Yeah, you’re definitely going to spoil her rotten,” I said with a chuckle, and followed after my new family.

Chapter

Twenty-Two

“School day!” Lily shouted as she raced down the stairs, her backpack already on, and the outfit we’d picked out last night on. She slid to a stop in the dining room where we were all already eating breakfast.

“Yes, today is your first day of school, which means you need to eat a good breakfast before you go,” I reminded her. I patted the empty seat beside me and she hopped up, immediately beginning to eat the plate that Branson had prepared for her.

“What are your plans for the day?” I asked Riddick.

I was going to the werewolf pack to help with the farm animals. Apparently, several of them had stopped eating and they weren’t sure why. Caleb was going with me to talk some things over with Dan about the island and our visit that we left for tomorrow. Branson was going with us to spend time with his werewolf pack friends. Triston had plans with some of our clan, working with them on things we needed done around the property. We weren’t giving them much notice, so we had to get as much done so they were ready for our absence.

After the Summit, we’d received calls from a lot more hybrids, and our clan was now over one hundred members strong! Everyone was shocked at how many hybrids we’d located, especially knowing there were likely more out there that hadn’t revealed themselves. We knew it would take time to change public perception, but things were already moving in a positive direction.

“I’m going to train with Silverowl today,” Riddick answered.

“Don’t overwork yourself,” I ordered him.

“Pfft, he never does,” Caleb said.

Riddick threw his bread roll at Caleb, but Caleb easily caught it and began to eat it.

Lily laughed and asked, “Can we throw food?”

“No,” I said quickly. “Riddick is naughty for throwing food.”

“Naughty, Rid!” Lily said and shook her finger at him.

“I apologize,” Riddick said and dipped his head to her.

Ezio knocked on the front door twice before entering, knowing our door was always open. “Ready to go?”
