That’s what I was thinking.
When you come in for your shift tomorrow, we’re going to extend our patrols to outside of town and make sure we can catch stuff like this.No telling what he’ll do next.
You got it.I’ve got an escort scheduled to follow me when I drop Mira off at the bed-and-breakfast in the morning, now that Adam put me on days.
Sounds good.See you tomorrow.
Night.
Leo set his phone on the counter and smiled at his mate.“Now, where were we?”
ChapterEleven
Mira waved at Leo from the porch of the bed-and-breakfast as he drove off to head to work on Thursday morning.
“You’re one smitten kitten, huh?”Lyra asked from the doorway, her voice all smiles.
Mira turned and smiled, giving Lyra a hug before they walked inside to get breakfast.“Yes.Definitely.”
The entire house was in the dining room, eating from the buffet that made Mira’s stomach growl.After filling her plate with French toast and scrambled eggs, she sat at the table with Lyra, across from her parents.
“So definitely what?”her mom asked.
“What?”Mira asked.
“You were sayingdefinitelyto something Lyra said; I was just being nosy.”
Mira’s cheeks heated as all eyes turned to her.
Clearing her throat, she said, “I was just saying that I’m falling for Leo.But thanks for making me say that out loud.”
Daphne grinned.“Sorry, honey.”
“You don’t sound the least bit sorry,” Gideon said with a teasing smile.“So, you like him?Love him a little bit?It’s only been a few days, but truemate bonds amplify everything.”
Mira hummed as she cut her French toast up and then poured syrup on it.“Yeah, I am.He’s really wonderful and I’m genuinely crazy about him.”Plus, her gryphon came out after he marked her, but she wasn’t going to tell her parents about tumbling in the sheets with her very sexy mechanic-slash-security guard.
“Well, I like him,” Nash said.“And I don’t like a lot of people.Wolves are protective of their truemate and family, and the pack is clearly tight-knit.I mean, when you passed out after meeting him, they were ready to throw down with us in a heartbeat to keep him—and you—safe.”
Mira was happy that her family liked Leo.
She could tell by the way they were gently teasing her that they approved.
“Well,” Daphne said with a smile that made her eyes crinkle, “Leo certainly looks at you like you’re his sun, and that’s something to celebrate.”
Mira agreed.
As they finished their meal, conversation flowed around the table about the plans for the next stop on their travels, and the last few days they were spending in Delta Park.She hung out with her parents for most of the day, packing up her things and straightening up her childhood bedroom in the RV.
By the time Leo came to pick her up, she felt like she’d closed a chapter of her life by emptying her bedroom.But she was also starting a new chapter with him, and that was just as exciting.
“I’ll bring her by tomorrow,” Leo said.“I’m working at the dealership in town, so I won’t be far and can meet for lunch.”He shook her dad’s hand and gave her mom a quick hug.
“Have a great night,” her dad said.
“Yes,” her mom said.“Have fun meeting the white lions.I can’t wait to hear all about it tomorrow.”
Mira waved goodbye as she got into the front seat of Leo’s truck.
