welcoming.
“Dante.”
A male walked out. He was tall, slender with a great body. From what she could tell all the Created had great bodies. His hair was black as night with silver streaks in it that made him dangerously beautiful.
“Qiuntus, nice to see you again.”
Qiuntus turned around and acknowledged the rest of the males in the room before his eyes landed on her and stayed.
“You’re Ash’s mate.”
Brook dipped her head in acknowledgement. She wasn’t sure if she was Ash’s mate. It wasn’t like they had this long heartfelt conversation where he asked her to be his wife, but everyone seemed to think that happened. Ash never shook his head or grimaced when anyone said that, he simply grinned wide and watched her with pride in his eyes. So until she talked to him, she would gracefully accept what was being said.
Her heart rate picked up as it always did when she thought of being Ash’s mate. An image of her with an extended belly and his hands pressed over it to feel the baby kick came to mind. She wrestled the image to the ground and paid attention to what was happening around her.
“Hi, I’m Brooklyn.”
“Nice to meet you, Brooklyn. Please come into the conference room. It’s bigger and will hold us all.”
They followed him down the hallway. He led them into a nicely appointed room with a large table in the center and multiple chairs surrounding it. They took a seat and turned to look at him.
“Dante filled me in on what is happening. First, I want to say I’m so sorry about your parents, they have my greatest respect. You have to be strong to make the hard calls in life. Next, welcome to the new world. Last, with all this protection surrounding you, you will be fine in the end. What happens in the middle makes good stories for later.”
He gave her a big grin, his eyes flashing as small currents ran through the air. Quintus was as different from the others, as Dante was from Ash.
“I drew up some paperwork.” He walked over to a side table, gathered a few sheets of paper, and set them before her. Please read over them in detail and then allow Ash to read them and anyone else you would like. Here is the summary. You are in both sound mind and body as you sign this, you are not being forced in any way to comply. If anything were to happen to you to cause you to be disabled and unable to make decisions for yourself, the seven males in front of you would take over managing all your assets until you were able to do it. If you were to cease to breathe for any reason, the males in front of you would receive a portion of your estate split equally seven ways. They would each be responsible for taking care of your friend, Jazlyn Summers, and making sure she was not harmed in any fashion. Even if law required it. Only you and I know what taking care of Jazlyn requires.”
She nodded her head and passed the paper work to Ash who read it thoroughly. He asked several questions and passed it onto Dante.
She watched silently as each of the brothers read it and signed it. Finally, it sat before her again two signatures missing—hers and Ash’s.
“No one asked me about Jazlyn. Why?”
“We already agreed to take care of her before we left the house. Nothing you tell us will change that. Everyone deserves their own mysteries until they can no longer keep it a secret.”
She looked at Dante, he was right. She placed the paperwork in front of Ash and he signed before handing it back. Looking around the room one last time she signed. Her life was now in their hands.
“How long before the court will approve this?”
“Let’s check and see.” He pulled a screen out of the table and began to work. The papers were scanned by the screen and went to wherever they needed to be.
“Hmm, someone is fighting me.” His fingers moved across the screen with the precision of a finely honed missile. “It’s the Patron’s legal department that is fighting me. All of them.”
“Ash and Dante, a little
