Anastasia texted me when we were on our way to the airport for the holiday celebration.
Anastasia
I’m excited to get the whole family together! How are things going with the plan?
I couldn’t stop my small smile.
Me
Not well enough to consider me part of the family yet
Anastasia
But there’s been progress?
Me
A little
Anastasia
Then it’s working. I have an idea to make it work faster, too, while you’re here.
Me
Should I ask what it is?
Anastasia
It’ll be better if you’re surprised.
I bit back a grin.
Let the wickedness commence.
It wasa one-hour drive from the airport to Eldrich and Anastasia’s house in California. Rain poured down on us through the whole drive, but my gaze was still fixed on the gorgeous, snow-less scenery around us.
The house was stunning, of course, though it wasn’t quite my style. Everything was ornate and intricate.
I liked it a hell of a lot more than I liked the modernness of Sebastian’s house, at least. If I never saw another corner-shaped chair, it would still be too soon.
Miles, Tatum, and their mates arrived with us, so there was a flurry of hugs and exclamations before everyone headed to their rooms.
“I’ll put Brynn’s suitcase in the guest room,” Bash said, already striding toward the stairs with his suitcase in one hand and mine in the other.
“Perfect. I should let you know, you’ll be sharing your room with Anthony,” Anastasia said smoothly. “He’ll be getting in later tonight.”
Bash blinked.
Zander snorted.
Rafael grinned broadly.
“What?” Bash’s voice was neutral, but there was fire in his eyes.
“Who’s Anthony?” Miles asked.
“One of our cousins. You met him at the mating celebration.” Zander tucked an escaped curl back into her bun, still grinning. “He’s a riot.”
