The Mahani Wolves: Europe

Chapter 23 - Kayla

My new family and I drove back to Sinclair Castle in a red Jeep belonging to my beloved. We just came through the gates, and while I'm excited to introduce my family to my pack, I'm also on guard. The need to protect them seems overwhelming.

Besides the initial mate talk given to me by Blood Alpha Cooper, I've heard quite a few stories over the last few days.

Doc and Grace helped us pack some, but mostly cared for the kids so we could get more done. They shared many things to watch for with pack members that may go against me having a Mahani mate.

I will not tolerate any danger to touch my new family. They are something I never thought I could have, and I will be grateful for everyday I get with them.

Instead of getting a truck to load everything to the castle, Doc will open a portal where a few Betas will carry the boxes into the courtyard, where our people will take them to our wing.

I asked her to wait until we were there, as I wanted to supervise this process. It may seem like I'm micromanaging, but I don't care. I don't want not one dish or toy lost.

They are changing their whole lives for me, and I'm beyond grateful. It's the least I can do.

My parents are at the doors by the garage to meet us. My wolf is thrilled that our young are being accepted. As my mother pulled a sleeping Sydney from me, she gave both Debra and Will a big hug. Her smile could light up the entire castle.

"Amber and I worked in the bedrooms as you asked Kayla. I'm sure the children will love them!"

"Let's go see!" Debra said excitedly.

It took a minute and a few hallways to reach the main staircase. Debra and Will both gasped and looked around. It may look fancy to an outsider, like a museum, but I knew better. The upkeep of this place is constant and takes many people.

Like all unmated wolves, my old room was on the fourth floor. Our new living area is on the second floor. I can't believe I'm returning to my childhood home with my family. This whole moment is surreal.

I held Debra's hand on my left and Nicolas on my right. Nicolas had Will's hand, too. I held my breath as we entered, hoping they liked their new home.

The floor plan was open, so they could see the living room, kitchen, and dining room from where we stood. The entire area was painted in pale blues and greys, with brighter colors on cushions, couch pillows, and throw blankets. Nothing was on the walls as I told them we were bringing pictures.

The hallway to the other rooms was off the living room, and I steered everyone in that direction.

"How about we start with Debra's room?" I suggested. Her name was done with sparkles on the door.

"Go ahead, open it."

Her eyes were wide as she slowly opened the door. She screamed in delight as she jumped on her bed. I smiled as I leaned into Nicolas and inhaled his scent, feeling the tingles where we touched.

"Ready, Will?" He nodded as we walked to the door with his name on it. He still looked leery. "Your turn. Go ahead." He looked at Nicolas, who winked at him.

As he opened the door, I kept my attention on his face. His eyes bulged when he saw the furniture. Instead of jumping on his bed, as his sister did, he looked at the walls.

"That's the problem I've been working on with Doc!" He said, pointing to one wall. When he turned to the other side, he looked puzzled for a moment before his face lit up, and he ran to the chalk basket and then up the ladder.

"They love it," Nicolas said as he held me tighter.

"Thank you so much," I said to my mom.

"It was my pleasure. How about food? Anyone hungry?"
