If Alpha Jason had been there, that probably wouldn’t have happened.”I looked at Susan, quickly assessing if she would be willing to accept the truth. She lo
Laila’s POVBringing Ava home was like putting a broken puzzle almost all the way back together. There were still a few pieces missing, but the main of the picture was there. It was much more complete than it had been without her.Ava and Hannah took to each other right away, and the house quickly f
