The Dark Thrall Mating Olivia

Chapter Eighty-Seven

The tub was beside it, it wasn't as big as I liked. But if we ended up buying this house that would be something that we could change.

I liked to bathe with Killian and I wanted Olivia to join us in that fun.

"Tub isn't big enough." Killian said as he wrapped his arms around my waist, his chin resting on my shoulder. "I think it could only fit one of us. Maybe with Olivia, but it would be a tight squeeze."

"We can see if the owner would be okay with us upgrading it." I rested my hand over his, tapping my fingers against his. "There are a few things I want to change."

"Like what?" Killian asked.

"Just a few small things to make it more like our home."

"So we're getting it?" Killian asked, his hold around my waist tightening.

"Yes. We are getting it. Let's go check out the backyard and then I'll talk to the realtor." I said and he nodded, pulling his hands away from me and leaving me in the bathroom. I turned off the light before heading down the stairs to the main part of the house.

Monica was waiting for us in the kitchen. Her nails clicked against the screen of her phone with a steady click-click sound that I followed. Killian was just a few steps ahead of me. He was excited about this house and I couldn't blame him, I was too.

It was going to be our home with Olivia and our daughter. I couldn't wait to fill the bedrooms up in the house with our offspring. This home held so much hope for that, it was perfect for all of us. When we rounded the corner. Monica looked up from her phone, pressing a button on the side before tucking it away. She watched the two of us with keen eyes, looking for any tell to what we were feeling about the home.

I had to admit that it was refreshing. Normally when lesser shivers met us they were leery and anxious. Not this wolf though, she was neither of those things. She was focused on getting us into this house and I appreciated that.

She plastered a smile onto her face, looking up at Killian and me. Her teeth shone bright white, almost as white as the cabinets and tile of the well-lit kitchen. "Well, do you guys love it?" "Yes." Killian answered, almost bouncing beside me. "It's perfect. I know our mate will love it." "Olivia, right?"

"Yes, she's our mate." I said, lifting my hand to rest it on Killian's shoulder.noveldrama

"Good for you guys. I'm so glad you like the house. You haven't even seen the best part yet." She said, but that smile didn't reach her eyes. Was she one of those that had shunned our mate after her rejection?

"Let me guess, it's the backyard?"

"Yes, it is. If you two would like to follow me, I can show it to you." Monica turned away from us, making her way out of the kitchen and into the small dining room. The room was decorated with a large farmhouse table that seemed to dominant the area. It was a pale wooden top with white trimmed legs. Plenty big enough for family dinners.

Sunlight reflected into the room from the large sliding glass doors that lined the back wall. It rippled in curling waves and I couldn't help the excitement that coursed through me. Monica opened the door, guiding us onto the back porch. We stepped outside, looking out over the back yard.

"A pool!" Killian exclaimed.

"And a hot tub." I smiled, looking out into the backyard. I knew that he would love the little surprise and he did.

***Olivia POV***

I opened the front door, ushering Nick outside. He was still holding Everly and I wanted him to be able to get in every moment with her that he could. Sure, he said he was going to be here for us but I still couldn't shake the feeling that this was all a dream.

That any moment, I was going to wake up and this would have never happened. That what he had said would all be part of a dream. I wanted his words to be true, for him to be here for both Everly and I.

I was scared to trust him, though.

"Time to go to you momma, Evy." Nick cooed, turning around to face me. I closed the front door behind us, moving out onto the porch. The sun warmed my skin, but it did little to chase away the chill of the cold concrete beneath my bare feet.

"Come here, baby." I said, holding out my hands for Everly. Nick handed her over to me and I settled her against me so that she was sitting on my hip.

"I know you're busy with your mates, but would it be okay if I came by again?" Nick asked, looking from Everly to me and I tried not to notice the way that the sun caught the pale blonde highlights in his curling hair.

"Yeah, I was supposed to go into work today but Shana called to see if I would switch shifts with her. So I'm working tomorrow evening. If you want to come by before I go into the diner, I'm sure Everly would enjoy spending time with you again." The words came out in a nervous rush and I felt my cheeks heat up. His lips twitched into a smile and I felt my heart do a funny little flip. I glanced down at my feet, feeling my face burn brighter. "If, um, if you'd feel more comfortable, Gloria usually watches her when Jose has to work. I'm sure your mom-" "She's still pretty upset with me. I'll come over in the morning." Nick said, stopping me from rambling any more and I let out a sigh of relief. "If that's okay with you?"

Nick moved closer to me and I looked up. "That's, that's okay."

He reached out, taking Everly's hand in his and she grabbed onto his fingers. Wrapping her little hand around his much larger one. He smiled a soft smile at her and I swallowed hard. This was going to be harder than I thought.
