Page 105 of Cam's Treasure

Cam: Hey Clanners! Come meet our wonderful mates, Ember and Kai. Ember is the big teddy phoenix, and Kai is the sweet sexy selkie. Kai also has a tendency to misplace his phone, so if he doesn't reply, don't take it personally.

Below the message was a picture he'd taken of us when we were making breakfast earlier. I hadn't even noticed him lurking around.

After Cam's text, everyone had hopped on to welcome me and Kai into the clan, and while I didn't have most of the numbers saved, they'd introduced themselves, and some names sounded familiar while others didn't.

"Oh, you might have to put the group on silent. It's never quiet for long," Micah said, and Cam shot him a betrayed look.

"Is that why you rarely reply in the group texts?"

Micah shrugged, and I chuckled as Cam started listing all the reasons why the clan group shouldneverbe ignored.

Kai

Using a phone still didn't come naturally to me, but Micah and Ember were always happy to help me learn, while Cam had a tendency of taking over whenever it took me too long to get thehang of something, like he'd done a while ago to save all the numbers of the clan group members in my phone, even though I had no idea who half of the people were. I didn't mind because I knew it was just Cam's impatience and he didn't do it to be mean.

Looking through the messages the Mistvale clan members had sent made me feel all warm inside, and I found myself smiling as I scrolled through the many, many texts.

Dean: Does this mean you're finally going to stop moping around?

Cam: How dare you! I do not mope.

Amelia: You do, though.

Cam: Sister! Why would you betray me so?

Amelia: :P

Raphael: When do we get to meet them both? Is it time for another clan get-together?

Noel: Oooh yes please! It's been forever since the last one.

Devon: We had one when Cam and Micah came back from their trip, remember?

Noel: Like I said, it's been FOREVER

Oliver: It's party time, Devon. Don't be grumpy

Devon: I'm not grumpy

Caleb: You're a little grumpy, dude

Firey: What's happening? My phone's going crazy

Noel: We're planning a party for Cam and Micah and their sexy new mates

"Um..." I mumbled as I scrolled and scrolled, realizing there were a LOT of texts. And that was just in the hour since Cam made the announcement. I'd known theoretically that the clan was big, but looking at these texts made me think that it would be bigger than whatever I'd imagined. I really might need that notebook if I wanted to keep track of everyone. "There's a lot of people in the clan, huh?"

Cam snickered at whatever look I was sporting, and Micah patted my arm comfortingly. We'd changed seats from before, and Micah was now beside me since Cam had demanded 'his turn' on Ember's lap.

"There are. I guess it doesn't feel like that to us because Cam and I have been here since practically the beginning."

"Yeah. When DD and Dad got together, it was just us, Micah's dads, Raphael and Jai, and Aeron and Niall. Oh, and Rebba, the alpha of the shifter pack, and Caleb and Noel. Then Caleb's best friend moved here, and he found his mate, and it snowballed from there," Cam explained, and I hummed, trying to memorize all the names.

"You know, you should make a family tree or something for the clans," I said, my eyes flicking between Cam and Micah. "So you can easily explain all the connections to any future members."

Cam's eyes brightened as Micah hummed. "That's not a bad idea."

"Oh, I know this app we can use to make it. Then we can print a giant poster and put it up in the gathering hall," Cam said, then clarified, "The gathering hall is a cabin in the packland where we get together for important meetings and stuff."
