Buried and Shadowed (Branded Packs #3)(69)

Sinclair reached out to grasp his friend’s arm. “Good luck, amigo.”

Rios smiled, his gaze skimming over Sinclair’s shoulder.

“When I get back, we’re going to have a discussion about you moving into a new house,” he warned.

“What’s wrong with my lair?” Sinclair demanded with a frown.

“Besides the fact that it’s damp, dusty, and not fit for a delicate human female?” Rios asked in faux innocent tones.

“Hmm.” Sinclair waved his friend away. “You take care of your female, and let me take care of mine.”

“I’m just saying,” Rios said, turning to disappear into the mist.

A silence descended as Sinclair considered his friend’s teasing chastisement.

Dammit. Rios was right.

He had a vivid memory of Mira’s house with the kitchen table and single chair.

He wanted her to have a home.

A place where she was surrounded by family and friends and she never, ever felt lonely again.

Starting tomorrow, they were going to design the house of her dreams…

“Sinclair?” Mira’s sleepy voice interrupted his thoughts, and instantly, he was hurrying to join her in their bed.

“I’m here, sweetheart,” he said, pulling her into his arms. “And I’m never going away.”
