Dane guides me into the new office. Instead of just a desk for him, there is now one for me. He pushes the pram through the door and checks on the girls before stepping behind me and looping his arms around my waist. "Every Alpha needs a desk." He muses and

presses his warm lips against my neck. "But you don't have to use it like that if you don't want to. I can think of other uses."

I cast a glance over the new room. The white walls are lined with black and white photographs of our children. the furniture is painted black wood, a stark contrast to the white walls. Large windows let in the light, making the room bright and welcoming. If this was just one room, I couldn't wait to see the rest.

I catch Damien and Samara's scents. Shortly after, Damien calls out, "Neah? Dane?"

"Office," Dane replies as he presses his lips to the mark he gave me.

Damien steps in first, giving the office a nod of approval as Samara quietly slips in behind him, not knowing where to look.

"You wanted to see me," she mutters quietly.

I keep my mouth closed as Damien makes himself comfortable in one of the chairs. He shoots a wink in my direction. He knew exactly why I had asked her to come. However, he was clearly keeping it a secret from Samara.

"How are you finding things?" Dane asks Samara. I knew he was trying to help me find the words I wanted to say by making small talk with her.

She nods. "I am so grateful." The words rush out of her as she throws her eyes at Damien, who shrugs. "I will do anything that you want me to. I want to be here. I want to be with Damien.
