Tis' Thursday. You know what that means!
-Recap-
"Thank you, Lyrica." Cora walks further into the room, a small smile on her face. "I gotta say, I didn't expect my brother's mate to be this soft."
"Just wait 'till you see me angry." I wink at her before leaving, closing the door behind me.
(Lyrica's P.O.V.)
I carry Hunter to his room, cringing at the bland atmosphere. We'll have to redo everything. This is definitely not a room fit for a kid. I carefully lay Hunter down on the bed, watching as he curls up in a ball but continues sleeping. I walk out of the room, leaving the door wide open. Derek comes up the stairs just as I exit the room.
"How's he doing?"
"He's sleeping right now." I sigh, wrapping my arms around Derek.
"What about you? How are you doing with all of this?" He asks, his arms resting around my shoulders.
"I don't even know, to be honest. My little brother, who I thought was dead, just came back alive. Along with your younger sister. One of our betas is dead, we have a whole pack of alphas to deal with, my biological father is going to be trying his hardest to see Hunter, Hunter has these issues that are going to make it so much harder to help him. I need to enroll him in school, but he's too terrified around everyone and we can't home school him because we're not always home. I don't know what to do, Der."
"It's all right. Just take a deep breath. We'll figure this out." Derek says, moving to hold me at arm's length. "We'll start by talking to the school. Explain the situation. I'm willing to bet they'll let Hunter do online classes and sit in your room with you. The alpha pack will be dealt with in time. Right now, we need to get Cora and Hunter settled in, and when Hunter's up and moving, we'll get him fully introduced to everyone. For now, we keep the door open and let him sleep while we get everything situated."
"I don't know what I'd do without you." I sigh, hugging him again.
"You'd be fine." Derek chuckles.
"Seriously. If anything happened to you, I don't know what I'd do."
"And I'm serious when I say you'd be alright. It'd hurt, obviously, but you'd have Hunter and Isaac and Stiles. They wouldn't let you be depressed."
"I suppose you're right." I step back, looking up at my husband. "We should probably go get the shopping sorted."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright, Stiles, just sit on the couch with the others and I'll bring Hunter down." I say, letting my brother into the house. We're gonna fully introduce Hunter to Isaac, Cora, Stiles, and Derek.
"Okay." Stiles mutters, obviously nervous.
"Relax, Sti. He'll love you." With a nod, Stiles goes to join the others in the living room. I turn and go up to Hunter's room, finding him sitting on the bed while coloring with some colored pencils I had.
"Hi, Sissy." He grins, looking up at me as I walk in.
"Hey, Buddy. You wanna come with me? I have someone for you to meet."
"Are-Are they nice?" He asks, smile disappearing.
"Oh yes. They're all amazing. Now come on." I hold my hand out for him and he eagerly takes it, rising to his feet and following me down to the living room. "Alright, Hunter. You've seen all these people before. Right?"
