Hunter released Reiya from his hold and the siblings switched.
“Ray Ray! Look at my perfect little sister.” Chasen hoisted her into his chest, giving her a bear hug.
Hunter pulled Brody into a big embrace as well. “You scared me to death.”
Chasen lowered Reiya to her feet. She noticed Freja standing behind him. “Oh, my goodness. Freja! You look amazing!” Reiya walked up to her and pulled her into a hug.
“By the way, I’d like to introduce you to my mate,” Hunter said with a smirk, walking back to Freja and Reiya. He placed his arm around Freja and grinned. “Meet my luna … oh, and my Queen. I am now the Werewolf King. You know … you didn’t miss much.” Hunter chuckled as Reiya began jumping up and down, squealing.
“Yay, now we’re really sisters!” Reiya giggled.
“Well, guess you’re yesterday’s news, Levi. How does it feel to be leftovers?” Xander elbowed Levi, who rolled his eyes.
Hunter looked up then. He recognized Leviathan, but not the other man. He also noticed Chelsie, who was standing a few feet behind Brody.
“Oh, I’m sorry.” Reiya giggled. “I still love you both.” Reiya motioned for them both to come closer. “Of course, you know my Lee. I’m sure you heard from mom and dad that he’s my mate. And this is Xander, the Dragon King of the West. He’s also my soul twin and our newly adopted brother.”
“He isn’t so bad, once you get past the stench.” Chelsie giggled, and Brody chuckled and reached for her. She walked into his side shyly at the same time Jin walked to Chasen’s side.
“You’ve got a mate, too?” Chasen and Brody said at the same time, both looking at each other in shock.
“Well, there is more, too …” Chasen said with a smile, and Brody’s eyes grew even wider.
“Don’t tell me she is pregnant too!” Brody said in shock.
“Too? You mean …?” Chasen said, awestruck.
“Oh my goodness. I get to be an auntie times two? And I didn’t even get to meet Chasen’s mate yet.” Reiya bounced over to Jin and wrapped her arms around her. “I’m Reiya.”
“You can call me Jin.” Jin giggled. Reiya had energy that matched hers.
“You see? This is what happens when we take forever to see each other. Everyone has mates, Brody is dying and resurrecting, and there are two new family members being cooked up. Wait, there are only two, right?” Hunter asked as he eyed Reiya suspiciously.
Reiya giggled. “Nothing cooking on my end. You, Freja?” She looked at the girl with auburn hair who held her hands up and shook her head.
Hunter then looked at Levi. “I know we’ve met and all, but you’re mated to my sister now. So, I feel like we should have a chat.” Hunter and Chasen both pulled serious expressions as they looked at Levi.
“Boy, you sure know how to make friends.” Xander gave Levi a crooked smile.
“You’re acting awfully brave for someone I could burn to a crisp in seconds.” Lee lifted his brow at Xander.
“Reiya, Levi’s threatening me!” Xander beamed widely. He lifted his head toward Reiya, expecting her to scold Levi. But then his eyes drifted behind her to a girl with black hair and caramel skin. The smile on his face vanished as he analyzed the girl and her aura. She was a dragon.
Lee also followed Xander’s gaze and landed on the girl. “Guess you don’t have to go searching for her after all,” Levi said quietly to Xander.
“What am I missing here?” Reiya looked at the girl that was now walking toward them.
“It’s the girl that Grandpa Sage wanted us to find,” Xander said as the girl's brown eyes met with his.
“Oh, she’s the luck dragon?” Reiya turned and smiled at the girl. “We’ve actually been looking for you.”
“Your parents did a good job hiding you away.” Xander chuckled and shook his head. He really thought he wouldn’t find her.
Jin frowned. “What do you want with her?” She was worried about her friend.
“Oh, don’t worry. We aren’t going to hurt her,” Reiya said soothingly to Jin. She didn’t want her new sister to get upset, especially since she was pregnant. “It’s just that the luck dragon has a special healing wind. Isn’t that right?” Reiya looked at the girl.
Ciana nodded her head slowly.
