Darian looked to Meryn and Aiden. “Will you stay for the coronation?”

“When were you thinking of having it?” Aiden asked.

“Summer Solstice,” Darian said. “It’s a very special day for us.”

“What do you think baby?” Aiden asked.

“We can stay for a bit, but I think we’ll go back to Lycaonia to check on everyone, before coming back here for the coronation. We still have those douchebags in Storm Keep to deal with,” she said.

Aiden looked across the room. “Kincaid, is your family settling in with the kids?”

Kincaid nodded. “Kyla and the others will begin watching the kids in a few days. Zadie will soon be up to her eyeballs in tablets.”

Zadie laughed. “Speaking of which, we need to order some for the kids.”

Meryn waved her hand. “I can do that. Apple?”

“Might as well.”

“House still standing, no structural damage?” Meryn teased. She loved messing with Kincaid. He blushed like Keelan used to.

Zadie wagged her eyebrows. “Not yet.”

“Gods above,” Kincaid muttered.

Kendrick, looked to Meryn, then to her hand. “While you’re here, we’ll be doing dark magic scrubs, just in case.”

“Will it hurt?”

“Shouldn’t.”

“That’s giving me warm and fuzzies,” she said.

“Why? Why is it always you?” Aiden asked, lightly banging his forehead on the back of her head.

“Just lucky I guess.” She climbed from his lap and grabbed her computer. She sat at the table and brought up her ordering page.

“Guess that means I need to find a guard for you,” Aiden said.

She looked back at him. “Good luck with that shit. I am a delicate individual. You can’t just add someone to my personal space.”

“Really?” Aiden asked.

“Yes. I refuse anyone lurking around behind me.”

“You sure about that?”

“Yes.”

“You wouldn’t be able to adapt?”

“No.”

She eyed her mate. Why did he look so damn smug?

When his eyes cut to Pierce, she gasped so hard she choked on her own spit. “You!” she screeched.

Pierce winked at her.
