Krusk grunted his approval.
“She softens him. It’s good,” he said, settling back in his seat with his arm around his mate and contentment pouring from every inch of him.
Emma just shook her head at him, pressing a kiss to his cheek.Tasia and Zara whispered loudly about ‘soundproofing for enthusiasm’ while Hanna hid her face.I wrapped an arm around her waist automatically.
“All of you should leave,” I told them.
“No,” they hollered in unison, even though they were all finished with their own planning.
Darak ignored everyone, moving to my side and jabbed at the plans.
“Did you want the bedroom here or here?” he demanded.
I pointed at the quiet back corner of the house.
“There. This would have the best view and the most privacy,” I said, not even having to think about it.
While I’d been in deep denial about being Hanna’s mate, I’d been planning our home together in my head since Dristan had brought up the idea. She’d have her space for her spells, directly connected to my wood-work shop.
We’d be together even when we worked. I wanted us to spend as much time together as we could when I wasn’t with the clan and when she wasn’t with her coven.
Hanna nodded instantly. “Yes.”
The entire clan gasped like we’d announced a pregnancy.
Enka shouted, “They agreed without discussing it, did you see that?”
Tasia clapped. “Soulmates.”
Zara screamed. “Get a room!”
Hanna rolled her eyes and I felt my face heat.Darak scribbled aggressively.
“Noted,” he grunted. “You two are nauseating.”He took a few more seconds before tapping on the blueprints again.“Workshop location?” he asked.
I pointed at once, and my Zoga pointed at the same time. It was the same spot. Our fingers touched.Zara fainted dramatically into a potted bush whilePen hummed thoughtfully.
“I’m pretty sure they share a brain cell,” she announced and I rolled my eyes.
Krusk added, “Seems like Hanna has it today.”
I glared at him, but he just grinned back at me, sending a wink. I was used to teasing from my older brother.Iwasn’tused to teasing from the entire assembly. But I didn’t find it quite as annoying as I usually would.
If I had to explain why, I’d assume it was because I was finally happy. Feeling my face heat again, I looked away, but kept my fingers linked with Hanna’s.I sent a scowl in the direction of the crowd that had gathered—even though they should probably be heading back to their apartments by now.
“I’m right here.”
Enka shrugged. “We know.”
Chapter 47
Savla
It was almost two hours into the planning for our future home and the entire peanut gallery was still present. When we reached the garden section, Hanna leaned into me, her hair brushing my jaw and my brain stopped working.
Her hand rested on mine without thinking and my fingers naturally curled around hers. The bond warmed, slow and tender.
Darak stared between us and muttered, “I swear to the ancestors, if you two start making heart eyes, I’m quitting.”
