It had been a week since Princess Akiko's arrival, and the Matten coven had settled into a tentative routine.
They had total freedom within their suite but outside, they were followed by security agents who didn't let them out of their sight.
Of course, one could say that they were being guarded for their safety but Ezra knew exactly what was being said. After all, Akiko had said it herself.
No one trusted the Matten coven.
And that was how the week passed in a haze of careful observation and guarded steps.
Ezra had spent most of his time with his wives, especially Olivia on whom the pregnancy was taking a toll on. This pregnancy was a first in recorded history and no one knew what would happen next.
When not with his wives, Ezra spent time exploring the estate and familiarizing himself with its layout and the patterns of those who worked there.
He'd received the message loud and clear that this wasn't home.
At least not yet.
