I didn't know how Nefera would react.
Ben told me yesterday that the house was finished, and the keys were in my office. I wanted to surprise Nefera tomorrow with it, but something told me she needed this now. The pack was already preparing for her party, and the only way of getting out of it was to disappoint them. Not that I wasn't willing to do that if Nefera was against it. Honestly, I wouldn't blame her if she did. We were overloaded with problems, and celebrating her twenty-first year didn't mean much to her.
Unfortunately, it meant everything to the pack.
"Whoa!" I catch her in my arms as she wraps her arms around my neck, locking her legs around my waist. She had the most breathtaking smile, and I knew she needed this. "I didn't know it was worth all this."
