    Three days after they buried her father, Daggy finally forced herself to go back to the hotel. The room had been sitting empty since Lincoln's arrest, their belongings were scattered exactly where they'd left them in the rush to get to the hospital that final time. The front desk had called twice about checkout and Daggy couldn't put it off any longer.Mitchell had offered to come with her but Daggy needed to do this alone, needing some space to breathe without her mother's worried eyes following her every move. Daggy started with her own things first because those were easier, folding clothes and packing them into suitcases. She'd tried calling the palace three times to get information about Lincoln's situation but nobody would tell her anything except that he was being held pending investigation. No lawyer had been allowed to see him, no charges had been formally filed, and Daggy was starting to suspect that Dynan was keeping him locked up for reasons that had nothing to do wit

    Mary Charles Hemstrong stood in the private medical facility on the edge of pack territory, tapping her manicured nails against the reception desk while the lab technician processed her request. The hair sample was sealed in a small plastic bag in her purse, collected so easily from that child it had almost been disappointing."The DNA comparison will take approximately forty-eight hours," the technician said, sliding a form across the counter for her to sign. "We'll call you as soon as the results are ready."Mary signed with a flourish and left without another word. Two days to confirm what she already suspected, what she'd seen in her husband's face when he came home rattled and distracted after running into his past, and now inviting his old mate who has a child that looks exactly like him.Two days to plan what she would do if that child turned out to be his.She drove back toward town with her mind already working through possibilities and contingencies, because Mary hadn't go

    "Don't worry about him, sweetheart," Daggy said, pressing a kiss to the top of Britty's head. "We're going home soon and everything will go back to normal."But even as she said it, Daggy knew it was another lie in a long line of lies that were finally starting to collapse around her.She went inside the kitchen and prepared a meal. They ate and went to see the town's night view.*****Two days have past, Lincoln was still acting all nice, Britty wasn't asking any questions about the stranger.Although her father's condition wasn't getting better and she was about to start the shop renovation, because those bad guys destroyed a lot of things.She was about to go to the hospital early in the morning when a guard brought a summon order letter from the Alpha. Daggy's hands trembled as she read the carefully worded invitation requesting her presence, along with her husband and daughter, at the alpha's residence to discuss matters of territory business and proper acknowledgment of their s

    The hotel room was too quiet when Daggy finally returned the next morning with Britty half-asleep against her shoulder. Lincoln Daggy's husband was sitting at the small desk by the window with his laptop open, his dark hair still damp from the shower and his expression focused on whatever was on the screen in front of him.He looked up when the door shut sound came and his face immediately creased with concern. "There you are, I was starting to worry. How's your dad?""Still the same," Daggy said, setting Britty down on the bed where she immediately curled up with her stuffed rabbit. Lincoln stood and crossed the room to pull her into a hug, and Daggy let herself lean into him because it was easier than dealing with talking. He'd always been good to her, patient and kind, the type of man who didn't ask too many questions about her past because he trusted her enough to believe she'd tell him what mattered."You should have called me," he said against her hair. "I would have come to

    Dynan couldn't sit still and Mary noticed immediately when he walked through the front door two hours later than he'd promised. She was in the living room with a glass of wine, her blonde hair perfectly styled even this late in the evening."You look tense," she said, setting her wine glass down on the side table. "Rough day with pack business?""Something like that." Dynan moved to the bar cart and poured himself a whiskey, downing half of it in one swallow. The burn in his throat did nothing to quiet his wolf, which had been pacing restlessly since the moment Daggy ran from him.Mary stood up and crossed the room. Their marriage had been practical from the start, a union that strengthened pack alliances and gave them both the stability they needed."You're distracted," she said, sliding her hands up his chest and over his shoulders. "I can help with that."Dynan caught her wrists gently, intending to put some distance between them because his head was too full of Daggy and the lit

    Daggy's hands were still shaking when she pushed the hospital doors open.Britty heavy in her arms being almost too big to carry anymore. Her mind was still back in that marketplace watching Dynan's face as he realized what she'd been hiding for five years.Her father's room was on the third floor and she took the stairs because waiting for the elevator felt impossible right now. Britty had stopped crying but her face was still buried against Daggy's neck, her small body trembling with leftover fear from the bad guys. Or maybe from the way Daggy had grabbed her and run like their lives depended on it. She didn't even close the shop, she hopes everything gets alright.Mitchell Johns looked up from her chair beside the hospital bed when Daggy stumbled inside, her weathered face creasing with immediate concern. "Daggy, what happened? You look like you've seen a ghost."Daggy set Britty down carefully and the little girl immediately climbed onto the empty chair in the corner, pulling h
