Iris:
The drive to the South took days because of the kids. We decided to take the car instead of a plane.
They wanted to enjoy the long journey, watch the views, and stop at every place that caught their attention.
I agreed because I did not want to deny them something so harmless, and also because their father supported all their wishes.
He was excited to show them around and show them how much respect he received whenever he arrived somewhere.
We stayed in small packs along the way. The warriors booked rooms.
The alphas of the packs threw dinners for us, and we rested before starting again.
Every day felt longer. The car rides were quiet at times, but not for long, because Kash would say something to the children that made me tense, almost like asking if they ever thought about staying with him at his mansion.
Other times, it was the way he looked at Luca whenever Luca tried to speak with the kids at any stayover location.
