Definitely the job of our children.

Than pov

I like Luciano. More than I would like to admit.

The shifters I've met over the years were quite judgemental and unkind once they found out where I come from. But then again, I never took any of them along to the gardens of evil.

Luciano, he's something else. He listens, actually listens, and tries to understand even if he can't accept some things. Maybe that's why I'm not that worried about my daughter anymore.

Ease overtakes my mind and body, and I come to the most crucial conclusion I could reach in this situation- I know Lenox, he's a good man, but now, I have no doubts that crazy bastard will do anything to protect my As. She is a part of him, a family, and judging by how much Luciano is willing to give for his loved ones, Lenox, as his son, will do the same.

I'm a proud stepfather. My daughter chose a good one. They needed each other, kept each other alive, and though both are little, just a little, crazy about blood and violence, they fit each other perfectly.
