The day was even longer than I’d expected.

Rocco only growled a couple of times—much to the entertainment of the classes, some of which tried to get a rise out of him by staring at me.

We ate lunch together at his desk, our feet tangled a bit while we downed far too many sandwiches and snacks together.

The afternoon crept by even slower than the morning had, and I found myself wandering YouTube with a headphone in my ear, and only a fraction of my attention on Rocco. He was giving the same less

  • Embraced By The Pack   ONE HUNDRED & TWENTY TWO

    Lizzy’s [POV]The next few weeks passed so quickly, but so slowly.Elliot continued taking care of Evan. I continued watching him, thanks to the wolf that wouldn’t take her eyes off of him.Evan warmed up to him, and started calling him a word that sounded a lot like “Ehwt”. I was pretty sure it was his version of Elliot, and it was so freaking adorable that it made me wish I was there. He seemed to get just a little grumpier every day that I was in wolf form, but Elliot was actually pretty good at distracting him with snacks and games.They had a pretty good routine going, and after a couple of days had passed, I wondered what the hell my wolf was waiting for. Elliot hadn’t shown any sign of violence, or impatience, even. He grinned more than anyone I’d ever met and laughed more too.I wasn’t looking for a relationship, but if I had been, he was the kind of guy I would’ve gravitated toward. He always had a good attitude, never complained, and was extremely adaptable. He made friends

    Eliot’s [POV]Dax nodded. “You’ve got a chance to make her life easier, here. To take care of someone who deserves to be taken care of. Two someones, I guess.”“I just hope she lets me.” I continued scratching her head. There were dishes in the sink, but I’d get to them later. A nap really did sound good.“Anything else you want me to do?” Dax checked, standing up.“Nah. You can come over later if you want to help with the playground stuff, but I’ve got it if you’re busy. I think I’ll try to spend most of the afternoon outside with Ev.”“Alright, enjoy your nap.” Dax strode toward the door, calling out, “And the rest of your first day as a stay-at-home dad.”I grew contemplative as I continued to pet Lizzy’s wolf, staring up at the ceiling as I did. Dax was right; I was a stay-at-home dad for the day. Hell, for however long Lizzy’s wolf was hunting me.It was a little strange to be sort of a dad without having ever had sex, or having a conversation with the mother of the kid I was tak

    Lizzy’s [POV]As much as I hated it, I couldn’t despise Elliot. It had been less than twenty-four hours, but Evan had already put him through the wringer, and Elliot had taken it all in stride.My wolf followed him through the store as he loaded a cart with non-perishable things—a crib, crib sheet, and a fuzzy blanket. He let Evan pick the blanket and ended up with one with a massive, realistic-style dinosaur on it. I would’ve said no to that if I’d been there because it was a little creepy. But Elliot didn’t seem to think it was worth the battle, and Evan was holding it in a death grip.He wasn’t wrong about the battle. The blanket was ugly, but it didn’t really matter.Elliot had to pull Evan out of the shopping cart to figure out what his diaper size was, which pissed Evan off and earned him a hell of a lot of furious toddler screams and pinches, but Elliot only teased him about his temper and buckled him back into the shopping cart’s seat in return. Eventually, Evan chilled out, a

    Elliot’s [POV]Carrying Evan up to my room, I shut the door behind us and Lizzy and locked it so he couldn’t escape while I was changing. I’d showered the night before and figured I’d do the same again after Evan went to bed.The little guy went furry almost immediately after I put him down, and seemed to be having the time of his life sniffing around my room. I had to move a couple of things when he noticed them and tried to knock them off the nightstand—which made him absolutely furious but after I scratched his furry head and pointed to the dirty laundry basket, he ran over there to check everything out.Changing didn’t take long. Shaving didn’t cross my mind, but Lizzy’s wolf wouldn’t give a shit about whether or not my stubble was getting out of hand.When I was dressed in clothes that hadn’t been hit with chocolate milk yet, I opened the door and called for Evan to follow me down to the first floor. The little wolf came skidding out of the room, and I watched him closely as he l

  • Embraced By The Pack   ONE HUNDRED & EIGHTEEN

    Lizzy’s [POV]Elliot didn’t get angry when Evan dumped chocolate milk everywhere.I got angry when he dumped chocolate milk everywhere, sometimes. Hell, I even cried about the mess every now and then, after a really long day. Ev practically lived to dump chocolate milk everywhere, after he’d finished chugging an insane amount of the stuff.But Elliot didn’t get mad.He didn’t even sigh, or groan, or get grumpy.He just cleaned the kid up, dumped him in the crib, and cleaned my room.And then went to sleep, as if he wasn’t bothered at all by the situation.Sure, it was only day one, but he’d been thrown a lot of shit in one day. So the fact that he hadn’t lost his temper impressed me.A lot.It didn’t change anything, of course.But it did impress me.Elliot’s [POV]Evan woke up screaming for more “Mick” before 6 AM. Since I knew what it was that time, I had the straw in the damn bottle before he gave me the glare stink-eye that made me feel like an absolute fucker.I watched him like

  • Embraced By The Pack   ONE HUNDRED & SIXTEEN

    Lizzy’s [POV]My wolf was obsessed with this guy.Okay, I knew his name.Elliot.I liked the name because it was kind of similar to the one I’d given my son.But names meant nothing, and I definitely wouldn’t be as obsessed with him as my wolf was.I’d done the obsessive mate thing. It had been fun for five minutes. Then I’d taken the physical beating and ended up an outcast among the damn werewolves. In most packs, a female wolf who rejected her mate would take priority and stay with the pack and whatnot—but that was not at all what had happened with mine.He'd attacked me, and my wolf had rejected him. Then the pack rejected me and picked him.And then I was homeless and futureless, since becoming both pregnant and a werewolf had been the end of my career.Sabrina didn’t know everything that had happened with SD, though. She didn’t know how badly he had hurt me, and she would never find out. Evan wouldn’t, either. No one needed to find out that their birth father had done that to a
