"I love you, Miles."
"I love you too, Duckie. Now let's go tell my brother how fucking terrifying this place is."
Laughing, I linked my arm with his before walking around the house to the front, where Mateo was waiting for us, hip leaned against the car.
Mateo was supposed to lock up before we left so a human didn't wander in—Mateo had said the human teens in town were extremely curious about the place, and if not for Cam's wards, they'd have already broken in to look around—and I was surprised he'd done it in the time it'd taken us to get here from the back of the house.
"So? How was it?" Mateo asked as soon as we reached the front, stepping toward us from where he'd been leaning against the car.
"Awesome!" I said with a wide grin at the same time Miles said, "Terrifying."
Mateo laughed, then threw his arms around both our shoulders. "Perfect. Come on, let's get some ice cream. That will calm you down."
Mateo started grilling us about our favorite parts as we got into the car, and as Miles answered his questions, I let their voices wash over me, soaking it all in.
A few weeks ago, I'd thought I was destined to be alone forever. Now, I had Mom back, I had two wonderful mates, a dog who loved everyone he met, and a clan that looked out for each other like they were family.
I had the best life I could've ever dreamed up, and I was going to enjoy it every moment of every day.
