Gavin signed again.

Kitty smiled. “Thanks.”

Jamie looked at her.

“Gavin said not to worry if I get words wrong.”

“We all still get words wrong,” Ivan told her.

“Kitty, can you send me the website you use, then I can learn as well,” Jamie asked.

Kitty nodded. “I can do that.”

“Thanks,” he said, looking at Gavin. “I’ll start learning today.”

“Thank you,” Gavin signed.

“What time are you working today, Jamie?” Dave asked.

“Twelve till closing. I have a list of things I need to sort out first, though,” he looked at his siblings. “We need to figure out schooling for you both.”

“We’re looking at either homeschooling Spencer and Jack or sending them to school with the wolves,” Seth told them.

“Wolves? Like shifter wolves?” Karl asked.

Seth nodded. “Yes. I know you’re both human, but you know about our world, and Jack and Spencer will be with you.”

“Are you wolf shifters?” Kitty asks them.

“Nope, I’m a fox, and Spencer is a pine martin,” Jack replied.

“Are we okay being here as we are human?” Karl asked.

“It’s completely fine,” Dave said. “I’m human, so are my parents, and Hunter’s parents. Hunter and Taha are human; Max is human as well. Mind you, Hunter, Taha and I have a support group going for humans who mate with vampires and don’t get anything apart from vampire hickeys.”

Jamie looked at Ivan. “Seriously, nothing?”

Ivan shook his head and laughed. “Sorry.”

“I want to lodge a formal protest,” Jamie griped.

“We’ve all lodged one, but we still got nothing,” Taha told him. “This is my mate, Owen.”

“Hi, Owen. Taha, you work with Hunter, right?”

Taha nods. “Yep, and we’ll need to leave soon, Hunt.”

Hunter glanced at the time. “Yep, I just need to finish my coffee,” he says, picking it up and drinking it down. He looked at Gavin. “Have a good day, sweetheart. If you have time, come to the studio for lunch. Shell and Luke will love to see you.”

“Same for you, Owen,” Taha told his mate.

Gavin nodded and signed.

Hunter pulled Gavin into his arms and kissed him. He pulled back. “Love you, too.”

Hunter looked at Taha and Owen and rolled his eyes. “Any time now, Ta.”

Finally, Taha pulled back. “Not sure I want to go to work now.”
