"This is my home." Kyro stated as he stood with Saint by the front door, the house was massive, something out of a dream, he had never pictured himself staying in a place like this, after all, he never knew luxury, breathing was a luxury to him. "I know you don't feel like you belong here, but you can stay here aslong as you want, and anything in there you're welcome to it and if you need anything don't hesitate to tell me." The alpha wolf stated each word dripping with empathy, there was no pity in his words, Saint had learnt to pick that up from an early age.

"Thank you, I don't know how to repay you." His small voice wavered but the smile on the alpha's face soothed him. "You don't have to, my kindness doesn't have a price, just take care of yourself, get better and you'll be repaying me." Kyro asserted jovially making Saint nod with a bit more assurance, he couldn't pay him back but he could do what he asked, that was to live, that was easy to do. "Come on, let's get you settled in." Saint paused, Kyro had held out his hand, he was used to dominant people holding out their hands only to give him handouts or slaps but Kyro wasn't.

"I'm sorry." The alpha mumbled as he recoiled his hand. "Its okay, you surprise me." He finally said it, he indeed was surprised by his actions, but he was getting used to it, so they walked in side by side, an unlikely pair, and as Saint expected the inside was even more extraordinary, it was beyond belief, he was exaggerating but the house was beautiful. "Your house is beautiful." Saint called out to Kyro who was setting down his bags along with Saints. "I don't think so, it could use someone else's detail, since they live here now too." The alpha added with a goofy childlike wonder making Saint chuckle.

"Finally you laugh." The man cheered as he looked at Saint, he saw no lust, pity or hate in the eyes of the alpha, just love, a chasm of it. He indeed was different. "Come on, you'll love your room." The tall male stated happily, he all but dragged Saint upstairs but he didn't mind the contact, it was warm, it was, nice. He drunk in all the details of the place, indeed he loved his room and the house, it was perfect, if this was heaven he didn't want to leave it and if this was a dream, he didn't want to wake up ever. "." The alpha whispered as he looked at the sleeping form leaning on him for warmth.

Kyro Drake Dante.

How are we even getting to Sandton Bay you ask, well that's being debated right now. "Prep the jet!" My father Senior, as my lovely, absolutely adorable and beautiful mate calls him states what he wants. "No get the cars gassed up, we'll drive." The father of my children, the love of my life, my everything, the heartbeat to my heart, the flesh to my bone, my sweetheart, my never ending sweet oozing vanilla river, the wind that carries me above the sky, wait a second, I'm getting off track here, Saint my beloved, the one I would stake my heart for, the cream to my cheese, wait that sounds cheesy.

Okay, he argues as I play with our children on the floor, I'm just a silent participant, rather spectator in their quarell because every time I try suggest something. "What if we-" Wait for it. "Stay out of this Deniz." I get shot down, like my little brother who looks flabbergasted, he had forgotten that those two can never agree on which transport to use, and we all arent allowed to get opinions in, they know what's best for us.

Here comes the sweet talk that turns me into putty and my father, into a liquid goo puppy. "Dad." He sweetly addresses whilst pouting. "I know you think the jet is faster, which is true but what about the educational points the kids would get by travelling by road." He argues sweetly, then leans in, whips back his long, full, raven locks behind his shoulder. "They could see where you won the battle of hundred moons against the invaders, also see where our pack lived before the migration, even your first store." There it was, he laid facts which gave praise to your name, brushing your ego till it shined. My father maybe a cold hearted businessman but when it comes to Saint, there was no such thing, now it was time for the dramatic finale.

He leans back and sighs. "But you know best though, I can't argue with you on that, I will get everyone ready." He feigns being disheartened and stands to leave. "Fuck it." My father curses lowly, he never wanted to see his most prized possesion sad, and the statement meant many things, Saint was the son he never had, he was smarter, made the right decisions, and when it was time he didn't disappoint, he gave him true Dante blooded heirs, so all he wanted, he would get.

"Saint sweetheart wait!" He calls out following my mate, the power he had over men and women was scary at times. "Did dad just-" I cut my little brother off. "Yes." I knew he was relatively new to Saint's little wicked ways, I fell for it every time, even after knowing about it."But that was just- Saint." He mumbled incoherently. "Yes." I replied with a low chuckle. "The hell man!" He groaned loudly as my children and I laughed. "Welcome, now you know the real patriarch of the Dante clan." I chortled with my children laughing loudly, manhandling then I made for their rooms upstairs, we had to leave soon.

"I will do anything." I heard my father beg as I passed Emory's room, he was still begging, ever since the two met, their relationship was rocky at best, but as they got to know each other, they loved each other, Senior taught Saint about business himself, everything about it, we all supported his dreams, his thirst for knowledge even till now, we've had obstacles to get to where we are now but we've overcome each one through sheer determination and will.

Life didn't start out greatly but in the end we made it work. "Go find your uncle Dee little alpha." I instructed my first born, though I had no favourites with my children, there was just a sense of pride in having him, my children, my mate, they were all I ever wanted, and watching my mate being haunted by his past because of where we were going wasn't fun for me, it hurt and I was going to do anything in my power to make sure he was happy, and alleviate his pain. I had made a promise to him, that I would let go of his past and we would forget about it, but now it couldn't be forgotten.

"His people are peaceful, or they were." Deniz argued. "But my people are not, and we crave revenge, justice, we crave to avenge the wrong doings done unto us." I made it clear and he nodded. "What do you need of me?"

That conversation kept playing in my head, my little brother loved Saint like the rest of us did, well I did more, he was my light, my dream come true, and as my father told me, we are not peaceful people, we protect our own, so when we get to the Bay, we would wreak havoc for all who hurt him, my mate will know peace, in abundance.

After moving the kid's bags downstairs, I got upstairs again to get the rest of our luggage, it would need its own car just to contain it all, when my mate shops, he seems to go on a craze, yet the one thing he never forget is buying something for everyone, he never fails to think of family, even my brother's. "Anything for you." I heard my father reassure a mischievously smiling Saint, he had gotten the keys to the kingdom. "So how are we travelling?" Meredith, my stepmother asked as she came from the backyard, it was enchanting back there, my mate had a great eye for design, outdoor and indoors.

"By plane, it's faster since we've already lost time, and I got a good bargain for accepting." Saint replied as he kissed me deeply, he definitely wanted some, but the naughty kitty had to wait. "Wait your time." I growled in his ear and he licked my cheek before walking away, damn those legs. "Is Lincoln coming?" I asked my father and he shook his head in refusal. "Not with us today, he has pack business first, then his wife has to go to a meeting, he's accompanying her, so they will join us by the end of the week." He replied in a tone that spoke other words, he really wanted Lincoln to be here but he was alpha, and had stuff to do, I hoped he would join us.

As we buckled in headed for the airport, I held my mate's hand. "." I reassured my mate as we headed for the place where it all began,
