CHAPTER FOURTEEN

~

“Here?” Cameron said with an ounce of disbelief when Tanya announced the witch was coming to dinner.

“Yes,” Tanya informed him.

“Tonight?” Mark asked, eyeing the game on the big screen TV and groaning inwardly as he looked at his mate for some pity.

“Yes,” she said shrugging.

“Are you going to allow this to happen?” Cameron asked.

“What?” Mark growled, looking at the vampire like he’d lost his mind.

“A witch in your home?” Cameron said, folding his arms and pushing back into the comfort of the cushions. He turned to look at Tanya. “Do you feel nothing for my pain and anguish?”

“No,” she offered back. “It gets better,” Tanya informed them.

“It can’t get any worse,” Cameron grumbled.

“She’s bringing Jackson,” Tanya said.

“The kid?” Mark asked, turning his nose up at the idea.

It had been a while since he’d had young in the house, and he did kind of miss it. But that was no reason to interrupt the game.

“Is he tasty?” Cameron asked, and got a cold hard glare from Tanya. “Too soon?”

“That child is going to be our – sort of, grandchild,” she said frowning. “There’s a story there, I just haven’t gotten it yet – but anyway, he’s kin,” she added, offering him a warning glare.

“So don’t eat the kid, got it,” Cameron grumbled. “Wait a minute – if that kid comes from witches then isn’t he a – Warlock?”

“Wizard,” Mark tossed back.

“Male witch,” Tanya said, shrugging.

“All of the above?” Cameron said, unsure. “Point is – is that the kind of people you want in your house?” he asked the alpha, and Mark tossed a look at him then back to the game before Tanya cleared her throat.

The alpha snapped a look up at her, after nearly thirty years, he knew that sound. “Yes,” he said, still distracted. “Or no,” he added when her expression didn’t change. Then she raised her eyebrows at him. “I’m gonna go with my first answer – yes,” he informed her, but her expression didn’t change. “I’d already said yes,” he protested.

“You were hedging your bets,” Tanya chuckled.

“Best way not to get bitten in the backside,” he announced with a smirk and a cocky chuckle.

“Don’t count on it,” Tanya said, wiggling her eyebrows at him, and he growled at that sight, boy, did he.

“There’s a game on,” Cameron reminded him in a dry tone, and he snapped a look back at the screen.

“So there is, but some things are more important than…”

“I’ve got dinner to finish,” Tanya announced, letting him off the hook. “But later…” She grinned, and he growled again.

“Ugh!” Cameron grumbled. Then he folded his arms tighter and huffed for good measure.

“Stop pouting,” Mark snapped at him. “Why are you here anyway? You don’t live here!”

“Well, der – dinner,” Cameron said.

“And when were you invited?”

“About thirty years ago,” Cameron admitted. “Because you’re rude and don’t say the words enough.”

“Did you ever take that as a hint that I don’t want you here?” Mark growled.

“Sure, and then I dismissed it because of your warm and welcoming attitude whenever I come over.
