Mercedes POV

Having Nicole in my corner was more than a blessing. After speaking with her last night about the incident with Mr. Ford, I felt much better, and even slept peacefully. Today was Saturday, and it was going on fine. It was almost 10 a.m and the kids were having breakfast, while they told me stories about their classmates. For the record, I don’t like Stacey–because Penelope doesn’t.

Just as the kids were rounding up their breakfast, Mr. Ford walked in.

Act professional Mercedes, don’t make things weird.

“Hi daddy!’” The kids greeted in unison, as they did a little wave and smiled brightly at him.

“Hey kiddo’s,” Mr. Ford responded with an equally bright smile, as he kissed each of them.

“Good morning Mr. Ford,” I greeted, keeping my voice as neutral as possible.

“Good morning, Miss Alexander,” he responded, his tone going back to professional mode.

I tried to get busy, while Mr. Ford fed the kids the last of their breakfast. Just acting normal, nothing weird here.

    Bradley's POV “You asked for a favour and I had to pull some strings to make that happen Mr. Ford.” Mrs. Jenkins stared at me across the table with a scowl on her face.“And now I'm asking for another favour,” I replied as I leaned back in my seat.We both knew this was mere formality; her, pretending like she wasn't going to give me what it was I wanted and me, pleading for a ‘favour’.At this point I wondered why we even bothered with the ruse.“Why do you care so much who leaked the information anyways? You got the charges dropped, isn't that what's really important?” She asked and I sighed.“What I want to do with that information is none of your business.” I told her and she seemed taken aback by my bluntness. Her scowl deepened but I knew she would still give me the information I needed.“Has she ever told you about Dylan Cooper?” Mrs. Jenkins asked and my wife growled within me.Dylan? Mercedes ex boyfriend who had her thrown in jail to save his ass?“He was behind this?” I as

    Mercedes' POV My heart jumped as I heard a knock on the library door before Ethan poked his head into the room and I let out a sigh of relief but my relief was short-lived.“Is anyone here to see me?” I asked as I rose from my chair and Ethan quirked a brow at me.“Are you expecting anyone?” He questioned and I averted his eyes.“Well…not exactly.” I muttered.How could I possibly tell him that I was expecting a subpoena from court? I was almost a hundred percent sure he knew about the fake ID but thankfully he had never brought it up and I would like to keep it that way.“Uncle Ethan, come see my drawing.” Carter called out from the corner of the room where he had been bent in concentration for the last thirty minutes.“I'll be right there champ,” Ethan replied before he turned back to me.“Are you alright?” Ethan asked as his eyes searched mine and I gave him an unsure smile as I nodded.“I'm fine,” I replied but he didn't seem convinced. Could he just come out and ask whatever it

    Bradley's POV “Daddy!” Penelope squealed when I stepped into the dining room.“Good morning princess,” I said as I strolled towards my daughter and gave her a kiss on her cheek before I turned to Carter and gave him one on his forehead.“How are you all doing?” I asked as I looked around the table, trying my best to feign ignorance at Mercedes' presence.The children went on a rant and began to tell me all they had done throughout their day and I could partly hear what they were saying as my eyes were zoned in on Mercedes who squirmed uncomfortably in her chair and looked like she would rather be anywhere but in the same room as me.“How was your day Mercedes?” I questioned and the entire table went silent as I had never bothered to ask in the past.I felt Benjamin and Ethan's gaze on me but I ignored them. Mercedes' eyes rose for a second and met mine before she dropped them to her plate once more and played around with her food.“I followed the kids around for most of the day,” she

    Mercedes' POV The moment the words left my lips I wished I could take them back as I realized my slip up. What the hell was wrong with me?I was alone with Bradley in his conference room, I was alone with a werewolf and I just admitted I knew what he really was.He could kill me right at this moment if he wished to. How could I have been so stupid to let my emotions cloud my judgement like that?My eyes snapped up to Bradley's and his gaze on me remained eerily calm. What was he thinking…the best way to dispose of me?“Bra-Mr. Ford,” I began as my heart hammered against my chest and I wondered how I would apologize and get myself as far away from him as possible.“A werewolf huh?” He asked as the side of his lips twitched and I wondered what he could possibly find funny in a situation like this.“I didn't mean that. I was just angry and speaking in the heat of the moment,” I said softly as all the fight had somehow been drained from me.Bradley let go of my hand and took a step away

    Mercedes' POV“Benjamin, get out.” Bradley announced when the man in question made no move to leave the room.“Bradley I think-” Benjamin began but Bradley cut him a look.“Now,” he commanded with authority.Benjamin looked between Bradley and I for a moment before he headed towards the door and cast me a look as though to wish me luck before he left the room and the door shut behind him with a click.The room was eerily silent and my nerves spiked. Not for the first time since I stepped into the room I regretted my decision but it was already too late for that.Bradley and I stared at each other for a long hard moment, a sort of silent battle. His darkened brown orbs bore into my skin and heat rose within me but I ignored it.I tried to remember why I was here to begin with and not let Bradley's presence sway me.He cocked a brow at me and I folded my arms in front of my

    Mercedes' POVEmbarrassment clawed within me as I recalled what had happened last night. I had been expecting Bradley to send for me all morning, I had even thought of a list of excuses to explain what he saw last night.How was it just my luck that when I was about to step out the front door Bradley suddenly appeared out of nowhere?Fear seized my heart as I wondered what he would do. I recalled how his eyes flashed as we spoke and I was scared his wolf would lash out and hurt me although a crazy part of me somehow knew it wouldn't.I let out a loud sigh as I stepped into the police station. Today was my regular check-in and although I had a lot of horrible memories in this place, today I was more than happy I had an excuse to leave the house.“Good morning Miss Jenkins,” I greeted my parole officer but the smile on my face immediately slipped off as I noticed her hard expression trained on me the second I stepped i
