Jilly, Wyked, Fate, their parents, and uncle rode in the SUV to Rhett and Lisa’s for the big dinner to welcome Treasure to the pride. Even though they weren’t technically part of the pride, they were family, and John had made sure to let Jilly know that he hoped her in-laws would join the celebration. They’d been happy to attend.

Jilly sat in the third row of the SUV between her mates. The dark night coupled with the dark interior made it feel intimate, even though their family was there.

“Is there anything special you want to do before we leave town?” Wyked asked, his voice a low caress against her skin as his lips brushed her cheek.

“I can’t think straight when you talk like that,” she murmured.

He chuckled. “Sorry.”

“No, you’re not,” she admonished with a smile. “But that’s okay.”

“Anything special?” he prompted.

“I’d like to eat at Cherie’s. I want to babysit for Callie, Ethan, and Eryx. And I want to have a girls-only sleepover at Lisa’s, so all the females in the pride can be together one last time.”

Fate kissed her hand. “That’s totally doable. Of course we’ll miss you terribly.”

“I’ll miss you, too, but the females and I were talking about having a girls night for a long time, and it’s just never happened.” She looked at her mates. “Do guys have sleepovers?”

“Um, no,” Wyked said.

Their dad laughed from the front seat. “Some guys do, I’m sure, but they don’t call them sleepovers.”

“What do you call a sleepover that’s not a sleepover?” Jilly asked.

“I don’t think it has a name,” Wyked said. “Just a guy crashing at another guy’s place.”

“A crash over?” she offered.

Fate laughed. “You’re adorable.”

“Well,” she said as she wiggled her eyebrows, “I try.”

Vehicles were parked on either side of the long driveway that led from Rhett and Lisa’s back to Callie and her mates’ home. Dag parked, and they climbed out.

When they walked into the house, Jilly wasn’t surprised to see all the pride members, including their youngest additions, milling around Rhett and Lisa’s spacious home. Jilly hugged Callie, and then she greeted her cousins Evan, Elliott, Cameron, and Sophie.

Jilly stood with Sophie in her arms. “I’d love to babysit one more time before we leave.”

Callie’s eyes widened. “Like right now? Let me grab the guys.”

Jilly laughed. “Another night, I mean, before we leave.”

“I know,” Callie said with a chuckle. “It was tempting to just race the heck out of here, though. Four kids means we don’t get a lot of alone time.”

“I bet.”

“I’ll text you and let you know when. I’m sure they’ll rearrange work schedules for a date night.”

Ethan said from across the room, “You know it!”

Callie shook her head with a laugh. “Insatiable. But I love it.”

Jilly kissed Sophie on the cheek and gave her back to her mother. Then she made her way with her mates to the family room, where a wide-eyed Treasure sat on the couch and looked around.

“Oh, Jilly!” she said, jumping up and rushing over. “I didn’t know when you’d come.
