The house was unusually quiet.
Luke sat at the table alongside his mate, while Ginna and her daughter sat across from them, the four remaining in comfortable silence.
Laila was exhausted and had already gone to sleep. Lex and Gustav were outside, patrolling the village now that their guests had finally arrived. As for Terek, he had remained in his room with his mate.
Luke wasn't particularly worried about the two. He was perfectly content to leave the bear to deal with his mate on his own.
A woman who could be so fierce when making demands and willingly offer herself during intimacy was hardly as depressed as Terek believed her to be.
She was simply thirsty, and hopefully, their earlier session had done something to ease that thirst.
"Luke, when are we moving out?" Ginna asked, breaking him from his thoughts.
"I told Gary before leaving the village to help me move my things. But now that his attention is occupied with the guests, I doubt he'll be able to spare the time."
