Meant To Be Daddy’s: Claimed By My Fiance’s Father 118: Loses (2)
SERAPHINAThe nurse at the medical desk had started recognizing me.Not warmly. In the way that people recognized someone who had been to their desk too many times with the same question.“There’s no update yet,” she said, before I opened my mouth.“I just want to know if he’s—”“The moment there’s an update, the doctor will come out and speak to you directly.” She looked at me with practiced patience. “The best thing you can do for him is sit down and let us do our jobs.”I turned away from the desk.Alan was sitting in the chairs near the window where Damien had been half an hour ago. He was leaning forward with his elbows on his knees, looking at the floor, and he looked nothing like the Alan Voss who had sat in Damien’s reception room with his expensive jacket and his performance composure.He looked like a father.I sat down beside him.He looked up. “You really care about him?” he said. Not accusatory. Genuinely asking.“Yes,” I said. “He’s a good person. He’s been a good frien

DAMIENNadia arrived at the hospital forty minutes after I called her.She came through the doors already reading the situation, her eyes finding Seraphina first and then me, and she crossed the lobby without stopping and put her arms around Seraphina without a word.“Stay with her,” I said quietly to Nadia. “Don’t let her go through those doors.”Nadia nodded over Seraphina’s shoulder.I went to find the doctor.His name was Farrell, a surgeon in his fifties with the unhurried manner of someone who had learned that rushing the delivery of information didn’t improve it.“The bullet entered the upper back,” he said. “It missed the spine. That’s the good news and it’s significant good news.” He paused in the way that preceded the rest of it. “The trajectory caught the edge of his right lung. We’ve addressed the immediate damage but his body has been through a serious trauma. He’s young and his healing should work in his favour.”“Should,” I repeated. “What does should mean?”“His physio
Meant To Be Daddy’s: Claimed By My Fiance’s Father 116: Goodbyes??
SERAPHINAShane told me to stay in the corridor.I didn’t stay in the corridor.Clarissa’s apartment door was unlocked, the handle turning without resistance when Shane tried it, which should have told us something. We went in and she was at the desk with papers spread across it, going through them with the focused efficiency of someone on a deadline.She looked up when we came through the door.Something moved across her face. Not a surprise exactly. More of an annoyance that her timeline had been compressed. She was wearing a leather pant and jacket that made her look completely different from how I’d remembered.“Back off,” she said.“Clarissa—” Shane started.I was already moving.She came up from the chair fast, faster than anyone who spent their days teaching history and psychology had any business moving, and she met me halfway across the room. Her forearm came up and deflected my first strike cleanly, the technique automatic, no thought required.She’d been trained and defin

SERAPHINA “Leaving for where?” I asked.Shane picked up a practice pad from the edge of the mat and set it down somewhere else for no reason, just to have something to do with his hands. “I don’t know yet. Not Blue Moon or here.”“That’s not an answer.”“It’s the honest one.” He looked at me. “This place takes something out of me. Every week I’ve been here, I feel it. Like I came in with a full tank and something has been draining it slowly without asking.” He shook his head. “Everything is messy and dangerous and I came here to teach kids how to fight and instead I’ve driven across three territories and watched people get shot and been in the middle of things that have nothing to do with me.”“That’s not—”“I’m not blaming you,” he said. “I’m not blaming anyone. I’m just telling you how it feels to be me in this place.”I looked at him.He was telling the truth. That was the thing about Shane, he was almost incapable of performing something he didn’t feel, and what was on his face
Meant To Be Daddy’s: Claimed By My Fiance’s Father 114: Crossroads
SERAPHINAI didn’t know what to do with my hands or my body. That was the specific problem. I had been standing in the entrance hall watching Damien walk away toward the pack hall and now I was in the entrance hall not walking anywhere and my hands were doing nothing useful and my brain was doing too much.“Eat something,” Agnes said from the kitchen doorway.“I’m not hungry.”“That wasn’t a suggestion.”I went into the kitchen and sat at the counter and Agnes put a plate in front of me and I ate because arguing with Agnes about food was a losing proposition and I had limited energy for losing propositions today.“Where is Alpha Damien?” I asked.“In the hall with those women and the elders.”“And then?”“And then wherever he goes next,” Agnes said. “You know how he is. He’ll handle it.”“I know how he is,” I said. “That’s why I’m worried.”Agnes looked at me with the expression she used when she agreed with something and wasn’t going to say so.I finished enough of the food to satis

DAMIEN“My men will take you to the pack hall,” I said to the women. “You’ll have water and somewhere comfortable to sit and I will be there in five minutes.”The woman on the floor looked up at me. She didn’t move immediately.“You have my word,” I said. “Nobody in this building is going to hurt you.”Brennan moved forward and said something low and calm to the group and they went, not quickly and not without looking back, but they went.I turned.Seraphina was still at the bottom of the stairs. Nadia had appeared behind her and Agnes was in the kitchen doorway and everyone in the entrance hall was looking at me as though I had just witnessed something they didn’t have a framework for.I didn’t either. Whatever just happened was trouble waiting to tip over and the weight of the exhaustion already sank deep on my shoulders. I crossed to Seraphina.“I’m handling it,” I said.“Do you want me there?”“No.”She looked at me. “Are you sure?”“This is coming from Cael,” I said, keeping my

DAMIENShe came up from behind that desk with her eyes already asking questions I didn’t want to answer.I should have stopped Callum the moment he stepped in, now I was sitting with the consequences of that decision standing directly in front of me.Seraphina had that look as though everything she

FORTY FOURSERAPHINA“How are you so beautiful?”There was something different in his expression from the easy, unbothered look he’d worn all day. Something more considered. He looked at me for a moment in a way that had no agenda attached to it, just looked, and then he said it.The room went very
Meant To Be Daddy’s: Claimed By My Fiance’s Father Forty three: Brand new day
SERAPHINAI woke up before the alarm.The room was still grey, as if it were the morning that hadn’t yet decided whether it was night or day. I lay still for a moment, taking inventory of my body. My muscles haven’t forgiven me yet.Everything ached pleasantly.I turned my head slowly.Damien was a
Meant To Be Daddy’s: Claimed By My Fiance’s Father Forty seven: What a day
SERAPHINAThe records building sat at the back of the pack grounds, a squat grey structure that nobody paid much attention to unless they needed something from it. I’d walked past it a hundred times without thinking about it.Today I was thinking about it.I’d been thinking about it since last nigh
