“I need it moved to our wing.” I told her and she raised an eyebrow at me.
“Why?” She asked again.
“I’m adopting her.” I told her, and a few of the others gasped.
“Really?” Charlotte, Liam’s mate, exclaimed.
“Yes, I love her and I know you were all taking care of her, but she has asked to stay with me.” I told them.
“And your mates?” Hazel, Matt’s mate, asked.
“Happy.” I told them.
“Ashlyn, are you sure about this?” Sage asked me, concerned.
“Yes.” I told her.
“So you’re not planning on running into the vampire kingdom?” She asked me and I sighed.
“I wasn’t planning on going there to start a war. I needed information. And I still need that information, but Derek said that he would call him.” I told her.
“What information?” She asked me.
“Theo’s blood was red.” I told her. She looked at me, confused, until the light bulb went on.
“He’s not king Draco’s son.” She exclaimed, and I nodded.
“Well, fuck!” She cursed.
“Yeah, and right now Derek is waiting for a call from Jordan,” I told her.
“And now you say that you are adopting an eight-year-old girl?” She asked me, and I nodded.
“It’s never a dull moment with you, sister.” She sighed, and I giggled.
“I’m younger. That’s why I can get away with this shit.” I told her and she threw a spoon at me, which I dodged, laughing.
“You’re a pain in my ass. That’s what you are.” She huffed, and I just grinned at her.
“But you love me.” I sang out.
“Yeah, yeah. Let’s go find a room for your new daughter.” She said, coming around the counter.
As we made it to the hybrid wing, Sage wouldn’t stop asking me questions.
“Are you sure Mason and Derek are okay with this?”
“Yes, they are okay with adopting Gabby.” I told her.
“Are you and Mason even talking after this morning?”
“Yes, we made up.” I told her.
“Fuck, you are hot and cold.” She huffed.
“I’m trying.” I told her.
“I know. And I know this is all new to you. You didn’t grow up in this environment, but you have to be patient.” She told me.
“But Derek and Mason don’t?” I asked her and she sighed.
“I know what you are fighting. I’ve been fighting it my entire life. Nathan could get away with murder, but I couldn’t wear a skirt that went above my knees. But getting yourself killed will not help, now will it?” She said, and I shook my head.
“I get it and I’ll try to be more responsible. I have James and Gabby to think about,” I told her.
“Good, now let’s go get your girl’s room set up.” She said as we entered Gabby’s room. It was simple and there wasn’t much. I’m going online tonight with her and ordering everything she can want for her new room.
Packing everything up, Sage and I could carry everything to her new room. We made it back to our wing, and I found it was closer than I expected. I’m still trying to learn the layout of the castle, but it seems all the rooms or wings are on either side and all the living space is in between the rooms.
We decided that the room across the hallway from ours would be best. Opening the door, it was beautiful with bookshelves and a window seat. It had an ensuite and an enormous closet. And there was a bigger bed in the middle of the room.
“Where did all the furniture come from?” I asked Sage, walking into the closet to put away her clothes.
“Most of it came with the castle.” She said, and I stopped what I was doing and looked out the door at her.
“Really?” I asked her, confused.
“Your magic is confusing.” She said, and I nodded.
“Very.” I said, going back to hanging what clothes she had. After I was done, I walked back to the room to find Sage making her bed.
“Sage, do you think they would let me take Gabby shopping?” I asked her and she sighed.
“Probably not now. We should probably stick to online shopping or I can go. But I think you need to stay put until we figure out this new threat,” She answered, and I sighed.
“I figured, but I thought I would see what you had to say about it. We’ll just go online tonight with her and order her some stuff for her room and some more clothes.” I told her, helping her with the sheets.
“That’s a great idea. Also, get some books and a few more tablets. I noticed they were struggling with reading and writing.” Sage said, and I nodded.
“I’ll get everything ordered tonight.” I told her. We were all done and just about to leave her room.
“Sage, thank you for all your help. I love you and I’m sorry I’m such a pain in your ass.” I told her, giving her a side hug.
“You know I love you and I will stand with you. I’m so happy that you found them when you did. Yes, you’re a lot of work, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.” She said, hugging me back.
Walking out of Gabby’s new room, we found her walking out of James’ room. She looked confused, as if she had just woken up.
“Mom, what are you doing?” She asked me.
“Auntie Sage and I were just making up your new room.” I told her.
“Really?” She said, instantly awake. I motioned her to come over and into her new room. She entered and gasped.
“We will go shopping after I talk with King Jordan.” I told her as she looked around the room.
“Thank you, mom. I love it.” She rushed over to me, hugging her arms around my waist.
“I’m so glad you like it, and we are just across the hall from you. So if you need us, we are right there.” I told her and she nodded against my stomach.
“Come on, Gabby. Let’s go find the others while your mom gets some work done.” Sage told her, taking Gabby’s hand.
“Okay.” She said.
“I’ll come find you when I’m done. Maybe Auntie Sage can start showing you things for your room.” I said, stepping out of Gabby’s room behind them.
Gabby was asking Sage a million questions as I stepped into our bedroom. Not finding my mates, I walked into James’ room to find Mason with James.
“Did he just get up?” I asked him, and he nodded.
“Gabby was up as well, but I think she went to find you,” Mason said.
“Yeah, I found her. She is now with Sage. Gabby’s new room is across the hall from ours.” I told him and he nodded.
“We have an online date planned for this evening.” I told him, sitting down on a couch. He was changing James.
“A what?” He asked me.
“I figured you and Derek wouldn’t like me taking her shopping at a mall, so we are doing some online shopping. I’m going to get her some clothes and things for her room. Also, Sage asked me to get a few tablets to help the others with their education.” I told him.
“You’re right about the mall. Just for right now. And thank you for not pushing it.” He said, bringing James over to me.
“I’m sorry, Mason. I’m just not used to not being able to do what I want. But I’ll try harder for James and Gabby.” I told him. Mason sat down beside me while I had James on my lap. He was blowing bubbles and playing with his toes.
“I know, baby. And I’m not trying to control you. I just want to keep you safe.” He said, wrapping an arm around my shoulders and kissing my temple.
“I love you, Mason.” I told him, resting my head on his shoulder.
“I love you, baby.”
“Where did Derek go?” I asked him, missing my other mate.
“He went to go call King Draco. Jordan texted him saying he would call a little later, something came up.” Mason said, and I nodded.
“Then maybe I should move up our shopping date.” I told Mason, but I baby talked it to James. He woke up so happy from his nap and his smiles were contagious.
Mason and I sat in James’s room playing with him until Derek was in my head.
“Babygirl, where are you?”
“James’ room.” I answered him. Not long after, Derek walked into the room. He sat beside me on the couch and kissed my cheek. He then kissed James’s head while James giggled to himself.
