LOGINKalix froze. In fact, I was pretty sure we all froze. “My wife is pregnant?” “Yes.” Natasha nodded. “With my baby?” “No, the mailman’s.” She snorted, wiping the tears from her eyes. “Who else would it be?” “I’m going to be a father?” A giggle bubbled past her lips. “That’s typically what happe
I recognized the look on Kalix’s face whenever his sister and Shayla were in the same room. The mixture of awe, terror, and bliss was unlike anything I’d ever felt before. We had everything we could’ve ever wanted and would do anything to keep it that away. “Where’s Natasha and Hakeem?” Shayla aske

Delphine, the woman whose fate hung in the air above our heads, sucked in a sharp breath. Lilac’s head snapped in her direction so quickly I could hear it crack. The two of them must have formed some bond during her four years away, because what else would prompt a murderer to fight this hard to sav
“What are they going to do to you?” Hakeem asked. “All of the employee’s sign a contract before they’re hired. If we help a servant escape in any way, we’re required to take that servants place for however long their term might be.” She replied, shaking out her hands as she always did when she was
