Exploring the Packhouse

Aláine's Point of View

As the others left to go to Kristof's office, I picked up a tea towel to help Frederic with the dishes.

"No, Luna, I have this," he said.

"Forget it; I'm helping," I overrode him and gave him one of my determined looks.

"Yes, Luna," he replied with a smile.

I can be bossy when I want. Frederic washed, I dried, and Zara put them away. With a group high five, Frederic went off to the security room to help Kieran with the cameras and fence system, muttering something about skinning him if he touches Callie. Zara and I went to explore the house before going outside with Axel.

The packhouse was an immense multi-levelled mansion surrounded by forest. At the front was a circled driveway leading to the front door. The main entrance was like a foyer with a door on each side and stairs leading both upstairs and down.
