âYou have always been so irresponsible,â Kaylee snapped, and Chloe snorted a chuckle of disbelief.
âYou have no idea,â she snapped back.
âI think I do,â Kaylee bit out. Jackson was living proof of that.
âLucas, what is going on?â Tanya demanded, and her son rolled his eyes.
âItâs not complicatedâ¦â
âWhen it comes to you thatâs no surprise,â Max growled at his brother.
âCan I finish my sentence or would you like to talk for everybody?â Lucas snapped at his brother, and Jackson looked up at the grown-ups and shook his head.
âWell, I have to do everything else around here for you,â Max snapped back.
âLike what?â Lucas growled.
âCan you two please stop,â Tanya growled.
Kaylee huffed. âJust tell me what the hell is going on and why did you lead a vampire here?â
âI didnât lead him here, he got loose and tracked me down,â Chloe snapped back.
âWhy?â Kaylee hissed.
âBecause,â Chloe said and left it there.
âThatâs not an answer,â Kaylee snapped back.
âYou want an answer?â Chloe asked, raising her eyebrows and slapping her hands on her hips.
âIt would be a first,â Kaylee snapped.
Lucas threw up his hands and huffed at his brother. âSheâs my damn mate!â he snapped, and the room fell silent.
Kaylee snapped a sideways look at the shifter. âHuh?â
âCool!â Jackson exclaimed like all his Christmases had come at once.
âNo wonder she tried to kill you,â Tanya said, feeling slightly exhausted by her family.
âThat was his stupid fault, he ran out in front of my car,â Chloe said.
âSounds like my son,â Tanya acknowledged.
âA mate?â Kaylee said with disbelief.
âWhat, you have to be the only one?â Chloe tossed back, and Kaylee zapped her. âHey!â
âDo not test my patience when you brought a vampire to that door,â she said, pointing at the front door just as it opened and Mark stalked in carrying a shotgun, and looking somewhat surprised by the gathering.
âIâm guessing I missed something,â he said, looking equal parts confused and surprised. âMaybe I should just leave againâ¦â
âDonât you dare!â Tanya said, shooting a glare at him, and he winced.
âIf youâre flustered now, you really donât want to know what I found in the woods,â he warned her.
Then he stepped inside and in came Shauna and Jacob, and Tanyaâs eyebrows travelled up to her hairline. âWhat am I seeing here?â she asked, but the scent of wolf had already hit her nose.
âApparently, we get to keep him,â Mark said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
Tanyaâs breath squeaked out as she deflated a little. âMerry Christmas,â she said frowning. âI need a drink.â
âIâm ahead of you on that one,â Mark said, following his mate into the kitchen and tossing a sideways look at Chloe. âI donât want to know, right?â
âWell,â Lucas said, and his father groaned.
âTwo drinks,â Mark said and shook his head before disappearing into the kitchen with his mate.
