CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Melissa and Tyrone followed Bianca to the lower level of the house. Melissa wondered if their room was going to have windows since they were going below ground level. Her inner cat didn't want to be boxed in and being under the ground was like a grave.

"This staircase comes out right by my family's suite, it's here to the left. Over here is the downstairs laundry, and in here is what all the kids call the den." They walked into a large game room that looked like a cave. To the left was a home theatre complete with recliners and huge projection screen. To the right were billiards and poker tables. Straight ahead Bianca led them through a black, white and red themed kitchen. "This is usually the kitchen I use. All the teenagers know that after school I'm in here whipping up snacks and so the invasion starts about three in the afternoon. Of course, you're free to use whichever kitchen you please at any time." The warm glow on Bianca's face let Melissa know she meant the offer.

Melissa smiled up at Ty and he winked in reply, his facial expression remaining stoic. The man hadn't said two words since they had arrived, but love and approval flowed from his mind to hers.

"I can see why the kids hang out here." Melissa peered over a balcony to a half court for basketball. "There are all sorts of activities."

"Kasey and Sam always want the Pack members to feel part of the family. There's no one too young or too old to be welcomed in our home."

"That's how Vivian is about us."

Bianca looked up at Ty, surprised that he had spoken and greatly appreciative of his words. "I can tell. Her scent is strong on you and that only comes from being an attentive alpha. I have great respect for her. And she makes my brother absolutely crazy so I love her even more." Bianca led them around the balcony overlooking the basketball court and into an area that took Melissa's breath away. "This is the stage area. It's not big compared to what you are used to, I'm sure. But the kids do plays and sing karaoke."

In the corner of the compact stage was a baby grand piano. The instrument drew her body to its shiny black lid and gleaming white keys. A trembling hand reached out to touch the ivories.

"Do you play, Melissa?" Bianca asked softly, sensing the overwhelming joy radiating off the woman.

Melissa looked up at her, her eyes ringed in red. "When I was a little girl, my aunt taught me to play. She didn't live on the Pride lands so I would have to ride the bus to her house during the week. She had a solid white piano more beautiful sounding than angels singing in Heaven. She could play that thing like an angel too." Melissa ran her hands over the piano lovingly. "Tyrone bought me a keyboard as soon as we moved off the Pride lands.
