KIAN

Kian checked his watch as he stood in the parking lot beside the large "Welcome to the Village" banner that Amanda had commissioned a long time ago. It had served multiple arrivals before and would hopefully serve many more in the days and years ahead.

The gods would arrive any minute, and he was grateful he'd managed to make it despite the chaotic day.

The investigation into the pedophile rings had uncovered more disturbing evidence, and he'd spent hours in meetings with Onegus discussing strategy. But this was a celebration, and he refused to let the darkness of his work cast shadows over such a joyous occasion.

Syssi squeezed his hand. "Stop thinking about work," she whispered. "I can feel the tension radiating off you." She tilted her face up to look at him. "Think about Allegra with your mother. Sometimes I wonder who the stronger personality is."

That got a chuckle out of him, and he lifted their conjoined hands to plant a kiss on the back of hers. "You always know what to say to make me feel better."

"What, it wasn't the balloons?" she teased.

Margo, Gabi, and Frankie were juggling an assortment of colorful balloons, which Amanda had also provided from her growing stash of decorations.

They had been visiting the village regularly, but today they were moving in officially and joining the community with their mates.

Good times.

Kian collected them like gems to add to his collection. As someone who had lived for over two thousand years, he knew how rare and precious days like these were.

Although, to be frank, every day had been a good day since first Syssi had come into his life and then Allegra.

"Do you think they remembered to pack everything?" Margo asked Frankie. "I bet Negal forgot to pack up the bathroom. All my makeup is there⁠—"

"I'm sure he remembered," Frankie said. "And if he didn't, we can get it later." She turned to Kian. "Right? Are we getting clan cars anytime soon?"

"Soon," he confirmed. "For starters, each couple will get one vehicle, but we are getting a new shipment in a month, and then you'll each get a car."

Frankie grinned. "I can't believe that everything is free. I kind of feel bad about it."

"How is your cousin Angelica doing with Edgar?" Syssi asked. "Did he tell her already about her potential?"

Frankie winced. "I think he's scared. Getting dumped by Jasmine did a number on him. He wants to be sure that Angelica is in love with him before he tells her. The problem is she has some baggage too and is afraid to commit."

The sound of the car lift engaging drew their attention, and a few moments later the first car appeared, with Hildegard at the wheel and Dagor sitting beside her. The lift engaged again, and while Dagor and Frankie celebrated their reunion, the other car emerged with Merlin at the wheel, Aru sitting beside him, and Negal in the back.

"Negal!" Margo launched herself at her mate the moment he stepped out of the car, sending her balloons flying up to the ceiling.
