CHAPTER 37

Cedar Hollow, Pennsylvania

“Is this it?” Caleb asked as Logan waited until the iron gates finished opening before he pulled onto the cobblestone driveway.

“It’s your new home,” Logan said as he made his way past the circular driveway and drove towards the large stone barn that had been converted into a garage nearly a hundred years ago. “Do you like it?” he asked, pressing the garage door opener as his gaze flickered to the rear-view mirror to watch Caleb press his little face against the heavily tinted window and took in the large Victorian mansion that had seen better days.

“I love it,” Caleb whispered reverently.

His gaze shifted to the little girl sitting between her brothers as he asked, “What about you, mīn smael? Do you like the house?”

With a shy smile, Emma smiled, making his lips twitch before his gaze shifted to Shane. He noted the guarded expression on his face as he took in the iron gate that surrounded the property. “What about you, Shane?”

“It’s just another prison,” he said with a bored sigh.

“It’s your home, Shane,” Logan said, watching the muscle in Shane’s jaw clench before he shifted his attention to the small woman who’d barely murmured two words to him since they’d left the penthouse.

“What about you, Angel?” Logan asked, pulling into the garage as the automatic lights came on, illuminating the old horse stalls and what was left of the hayloft above.

“It’s beautiful,” Jill said with a warm smile as Logan closed the garage door behind them.

“Just wait until he chains you up to this one,” Shane drawled as he shoved his door open and climbed out.

“He’d have to catch me first,” Jill said with a teasing smile for the twins as she climbed out of the car before Logan could respond.

Biting back a sigh, Logan climbed out of the car and-

“I don’t want to be chained again,” Caleb mumbled sadly as soon as Logan opened his car door for him. Forcing a reassuring smile, Logan reached over and unbuckled Caleb’s seatbelt only to feel his heart break for the little boy when his bottom lip began trembling.

He was going to rip Magnus’s fucking throat out one day.

“No one will ever hurt you again, mīn swēte sunu,” Logan promised, kissing Caleb’s forehead before placing him down on his feet.

Worrying his bottom lip between his teeth, Caleb asked, “You promise?”

“I promise,” Logan said with a solemn nod as he glanced up and met Jill’s gaze, watching as her beautiful brown eyes flickered silver.

“What about Emma?” Caleb asked as he glanced back at his sister.

“No one will ever hurt Emma again,” Logan said, pausing to reach inside the car and help his little shadow out of the car before continuing, “or your brother Shane or-”

“Jill,” Caleb finished for him with a firm nod.

“Or Jill,” Logan promised, kissing the tip of Emma’s nose before he placed her down next to her brother. “Do you want to see your new home?”

“I really do,” Caleb said with a solemn nod, making him chuckle as he stood up and took Emma’s hand in his while Caleb raced around him.
