Mag-log in“You’re Bina’s father?” I blurted just as the front door opened and slammed shut behind me. “You’re a wolf?”
“What?” came Bina’s voice behind me. I heard stuff fall to the ground and winced when I heard something break.
Her footsteps came toward me from behind, but I didn’t take my eyes off this wolf.
“What?” he blustered. “No, I’m no one’s father.”
I searched his
I could hear voices through the floorboards in Kali’s room, coming from downstairs. Because of the additional soundproofing Gabriel had installed when Kali went through her scream, eat, and then more screaming phase, I couldn’t hear who or what was being said.However, given all that extra insulation and the fact I still heard raised voices, meant that there were some very angry people downstairs.I looked down at my daughter’s smiling face, and melted all over again. It happened every single time I looked at her. “Such a rocky start, but we never gave up on each other. Did we? Nope, no we didn’t.”I booped her nose and she bounced her legs and arms back and forth. I loved watching her learn how her body worked. Granted, she had no control over anything yet, but I knew it was only a matter of days before she amazed me with something new.The smiles were the latest treat.I felt her ribbon reaching out fo
"Can you believe it,” Bina breathed excitedly as she lathered up her hair. “My father’s been right here this whole time.”I let her ramble on and just sat on the counter letting my mind wander.Kane and Victor went back to Silverpine with the agreement that they would act like they knew nothing about me being here.Victor, however, would enlist his sisters to quietly see if they could get a count of how many of these Luna-line wolves were in the pack.Apparently, I’m one, my parents had to be if I am. Both parents had to be of the line, but only females have physical characteristics.That tremor I felt that morning that woke me up was the boom effect of Kali’s birth. The wolves that have appeared at Gabriel’s gate, those sent my Luna in visions, reported feeling the same thing. The same day, time, minute adjusted for time changes.Bear and Maw came down to the meal shortly after Soraya settled in.
“You’re Bina’s father?” I blurted just as the front door opened and slammed shut behind me. “You’re a wolf?”“What?” came Bina’s voice behind me. I heard stuff fall to the ground and winced when I heard something break.Her footsteps came toward me from behind, but I didn’t take my eyes off this wolf.“What?” he blustered. “No, I’m no one’s father.”I searched his features, the chin, the bone structure in the cheeks. Even the shape of the eyes, the resemblance was not coincidental.“Um, I hate to break it to you,” I drawled. “But, yeah, you are.”By this time, Bina elbowed her way through Gabriel’s Beta and me.“What did you say?” she asked me before turning toward the man who looked panicked enough to bolt any second.“This,” Sid said. “Appears to be the blood mage we
“Excuse me,” I told the room as I got up from my desk and went into the kitchen.“Everything okay, Boss?” KB asked, drying her hands on a towel.“That obvious?” I half-heartedly joked. I poured another cup of coffee.“Between Luna rushing upstairs, and now you coming in looking like the world collapsed, yeah.”“I’m setting the larger dining room for the next meal,” she informed me. Not that I would question her anyway. Feeding me was her domain. I trusted her implicitly.“Good idea, I think we’re all going to need something to eat pretty soon,” I sighed. “Thanks, KB.”She nodded and flicked her ever-present towel over her shoulder as she tsked one of her workers for not doing
“I can’t give you a specific reason,” Sid said to Sori. “It’s my years of experience, some of it is my gut. Not gonna lie.”Sori nodded, and looked toward the hallway. I knew Lucien was close by and he heard all of this exchange.“You mentioned that you’re still looking for the blood mage,” I asked, changing the subject. Lucien was going to do what Lucien was going to do. Regardless of any advice he was given. He might not be as big of a dick as he used to be, but a leopard’s spots don’t change.“Blood mage?” Kane asked, suddenly on edge. “They’re dangerous.”“Not really,” Elara sighed. “Using blood can be innocuous magick. I’ve used it many times. Now can it be dangerous if used for nefarious purposes, yes. Of cour
“We can make the call and get him home,” Kane affirmed. “I have another question though, that I don’t think can wait.”“Go ahead,” Gabriel told him.He took a deep breath. “Now that Lucien is back, and we know what happened. Or at least as much as we can right now. Can I give him the Pack back?”This was the moment I’d been hoping for since I fled the territory. The chance to lead again. The chance to do it the right way this time. I was about to fist pump Kane and pack my bags, but their ops guy stopped me dead in my tracks.“I’m not sure that’s such a good idea right now,” he said.“Why?”That came from Gabriel. I’m sure he wanted me out of here as much as I want to be
