The house we pull up in front of looks cosy and just like any other in this suburban area. It’s two stories and has a neat little garden with colourful flowers lining the flowerbeds along the front of the house. I don’t know what I expected, but this wasn’t it. However, the more I look at it, the more I can imagine a little Garett and his brothers growing up here. I chuckle as I glance at him now. I guess I had expected a larger house after meeting his brothers earlier. I step out of the car and smile at Garett as he comes to my side, holding his hand out to me.

“Don’t be nervous, they already love you,” he whispers in my ear, pressing a gentle kiss to the side of my head. I smile at him and nod, but I can’t deny that I am nervous. Throw me up against shadow beasts and evil alphas and I’m fine, but being invited to Garett’s parents’ house for dinner has me quaking in my boots.

Arm in arm, we walk towards the front door, and Garett knocks before letting himself in.

“We’re here!” he calls out before helping me take off my coat and hanging it on the rack. After we met with the alpha, we went back to Moon River so I could get changed. There was no way I was turning up to Garett’s family home in my casual jeans and jumper. This is the second time in a week that I’ve worn a dress, and I hope this isn’t becoming a habit. I play with the skirt, feeling uncomfortable, but what else was I going to wear to meet his family? Seb and Alex had teased me all afternoon about being nervous. Garett, trying to put me at ease, told me that they’d already met me and couldn’t care less what I was wearing as long as we were happy.

I hear cheerful chatter and laughter from within the house as a voice calls out to us.

“We’re in the kitchen, love, come on through!” Molly shouts.

I look around the hallway as Garett leads me through the house. It’s warm and cosy, and photographs of Garett and his brothers line the walls. Walking into the large, open kitchen, I can see where all the noise is coming from, and I grin at the scene in front of me. Simon and Max are setting the table, talking about some football game that had been on today. Molly was trying to serve dinner, and the twins kept stealing bits of food and garlic bread from the plates and generally causing havoc. I would’ve expected Molly to be shouting at them, but she’s smiling as she scolds them. It’s like I’m watching the happy family scene in one of those soap dramas. I’ve never once thought that something like this would be possible for me, but as Garett squeezes my hand and pulls me into the room, I wonder if it might be possible.
