Claimed by My Ex's Daddy #Chapter 13 – A Question of Mates
AdrianMy wolf bellows in rage as it breaks free. Every bit of energy unleashes and though I don’t make a sound, Vanessa trembles and falls backward. Lily clutches my arm, and I tighten my grip around her. Her fear just lets loose another wave of power and the wolf inside rattles the bars to be set free. I don’t want to hear Vanessa’s apologies. It wants to see her terror and humiliation after what she has done. The pain she feels from her fall from the horse isn’t nearly enough. I struggle against the wolf, doing my best to keep it caged as it screams what it thinks it knows. Mate. Lily could be my mate. It feels similar. Julian’s mother was so long ago, but this feeling is familiar. It’s a wave of relief and realization that comes with an instinctual knowing that’s hard to ignore. It’s not true. I tell the wolf as it rattles the bars. It’s not quite right. When I found my first mate, it was like an explosion that went off the moment I met her. This is quieter, more subtle, and
Claimed by My Ex's Daddy #Chapter 12 – Ride to the Rescue
A few days go by, and Adrian doesn’t come back. I’m trying not to take it personally and blame myself for all but chasing the man out of his home, but it’s difficult not to. Grace’s schedule today includes horseback riding lessons. I love horses. I really do. It’s just that I love them from afar. Up close, they terrify me. I’m already nervous on the ride over, but I do my best to hide it. I’ve already been subjected to Thomas’ look of hopeless exasperation after he told me we would be going to the Whitmore Country Estate and I asked if we weren’t already in the country. Apparently not, because we drove for half an hour before the driver stopped the car and let us out at the stables of an estate that dwarfed the one, I was currently staying in. I greeted Grace’s riding instructor who informed me that she would be taking Grace on a ride through the fields today, so I was welcome to wander the grounds. With nothing left to do, I find a spot I hope is out of the way and settle on a

Time seems to stop and I even though I know I should remove myself from this situation. I can’t seem to move. Adrian’s hands don’t release their hold on me, and his intense eyes darken. Like he’s remembering what I remember. Feverish kisses in a hotel room only a few days ago. We didn’t have much by the way of clothes then either. My skin flushes and my heart pounds. I swear his grip tightens and my compulsion to run my hands over his body almost wins when I hear Grace’s voice call out “Hello, Julian!” Now I’m panicking for a whole new reason. I clamber off Adrian and look over the gate to the fence around the pool to see Julian greeting Grace in the middle of the lawn. He’s too far away and his focus is on Grace. Before he can see me, I duck down behind the gate. The fence only stands to my waist, so I’m undeniably crouching and there’s no denying the fact that I’m hiding. Adrian stands, glances at Julian, then back at me his brow furrowed in confusion. Then he seems to understa

I force air into my lungs. It does nothing to calm my nerves, but at least I’m breathing. “Coming!” I call to Adrian and turn my attention back to my phone. “It’s just my employer. I’m sure the kid I’m taking care of needs something. I have to go. I’ll call you later." I don’t wait for him to respond before hanging up the phone and launching for the door. Adrian stands on the other side, still in his slacks, his shirt sleeves rolled up to the elbow. He seems to take me in for a moment, and my cheeks flush a little as he surveys me. “Grace was hoping you would read her story before bed.” He finally says. I nod dumbly and just about step out of my room before he says, “Perhaps a robe is in order first.” I look down and only then do I realize that I’m standing there in a thin nightgown he can probably see through and that’s barely long enough to call itself a gown. With how much of myself is showing, there is little left to the imagination. “Oh, I’m so sorry.” I stutter and shut t

“What are you talking about?” Adrian asks. His voice is light, but his face looks far from happy to see me. “Sir!” Thomas comes rushing into the room as though sensing his boss’s displeasure. “Please, excuse Miss Lily, but we now know she is far from a suitable candidate for this position. I’m sure she is lovely with children, but she lacks the appropriate class and will only teach young Grace poor manners and unsophisticated habits.” “Tell me Thomas, do proper manners and sophistication require one to be snob as well, or is that just you? And stop talking about Grace like she’s not in the room.” I snap back. This job isn’t going to stick anyway. Not with what I just realized. I can’t live in the same house as Adrian. Not with everything that has happened. Thomas gapes at me like a fish, clearly struggling for words to communicate his indignation. “Lily, can I speak to you in the hall, please?” Adrian says. I know that tone. It’s the one people use to deliver bad news or have har
Claimed by My Ex's Daddy #Chapter 8 – Meeting Grace
I check the address and then check it again. Sure enough, this is the house. Except to call it a house might be an insult. It’s more like a mansion. The sheer size of the building is only outdone by the sprawling lawns surrounding it. I walk up to the intercom at the gate and press the call button. “Yes.” Says the voice on the other side. “Hi, I’m Lily. I was just hired as the new nanny.” I explain and the door opens. I walk up to the main entrance where I’m greeted by a frowning little man in a smart gray suit. He looks down at me and surveys me from head to foot. He’s definitely not impressed with what he sees, because his eyes take on an indignant expression and his lip curls a bit. I look down at myself expecting to see a stain on my dress or something else to warrant that look. I see nothing. “Miss Lily, I am Thomas. The Whitmore family butler.” He reluctantly introduces himself and quickly turns, disappearing inside the house. Assuming I’m to follow him, I pick up my suitc
