CHAPTER 12

David stopped the car in front of a thick wrought iron gate. The black fence spreading out on either side was twenty feet tall. Not only did it have barbwire going around the top, but it was also electrified. The lens of cameras glistened in the moonlight every ten feet around the fence. In between the cameras were motion detectors rigged to go off for anything weighing more than fifty pounds. With the wildlife around the area, they went off all the time, but he welcomed the heavy security now that Mia was there.

Rolling the window down, he leaned out the door and punched the code into the keypad. The gate didn’t make a sound when it swung open to reveal the dirt drive beyond. Cameras turned in their direction as he drove down the lane. The red maples lining the road were all bare, but in the summer their powerful limbs shaded the drive and created a welcoming canopy.

“We moved here as a precaution against hunters after Ian and Paige met. Even with the vast number of us, we’ve never done anything to draw the attention of the hunters our way, but we figured better safe than sorry. After what happened with you and Vicky, Liam beefed up the security,” he told Mia.

“I’m all for a lot of security,” Mia said.

“So am I.” After half a mile, David pulled the car to a stop in front of the old gray shingled farmhouse he shared with Jack, Mike, and Doug.

When David put the car in Park and shut it off, Mia took a deep breath and opened her door before she turned into a frozen, panicked mess who refused to exit the vehicle. She could only imagine the wonderful impression that would make on everyone if she was still sitting in the car come morning. They were here now; there was no turning back.

One step at a time. And she knew she had to take this step. David would stay away if he believed she couldn’t handle being here, but he’d been doing everything to try to make her happy and put her at ease. It was time she did something for him in return. He wanted her to meet his family, and she would do it.

Mia stepped out of the car and stretched her back while she gazed at the property. Awe trickled through her at the beauty of the acres of open land that ended in thick woods, dense with pines. Across the way, the ocean sparkled with the pinks and yellows of the sun setting behind it.

From where she stood, the ocean appeared to be a good hundred feet down from the cliff at the edge of the property. The wrought iron fence across from her blocked anyone from approaching the edge of the cliff, but there was a gateway there and another keypad both inside the gate and out.

“The section of the fence by the ocean is newer. I’ve never seen it,” David said to her.
