~AMELIA~Brittany had been asking for a visit since day six, and I had been dodging her with every trick in the book. First, I left her message unanswered because Lily needed feeding and I used my daughter as an excuse, which was shameless but it worked. Then I told myself I would deal with it after breakfast, and breakfast came and went while I sat in the nursery convincing a baby to sleep and convincing myself I was too busy for complicated family feelings.
~AMELIA~Caleb came in while I was burping Lily over my shoulder, and one glance at his face had my chest tightening before he even opened his mouth.“Kaden, we have a scout report from the eastern forest.”Kaden set his cup down and came over at once. “What happened?”
~AMELIA~His gaze stayed on me for one second, then dropped to Lily asleep in my arms.“I was already going to before you came. Nobody else aside close friends and family are allowed near her till she’s 18.”“Babe, now that’s a stretch. Maybe, 6.”
~AMELIA~My daughter had been alive for less than two weeks, and somehow she had already turned me into a woman who stared at a sleeping baby every second of the day.

AMELIA’S P.O.VClara didn’t say a single word regarding my conversation with Aaron. I could tell she was thinking about it though. She was many things but stupid was not one of it. She knew exactly what that conversation was about and I expected more questions from her but there was nothing.“Do you w
AMELIA’S P.O.VI regretted my words the moment I saw the three guards that Kaden had arranged for me.He had a smile of pride on his face once they arrived and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. They were quite possibly the biggest and scariest men I had ever seen in my life. One of them had tattoos
AMELIA’S P.O.VI recognized Blake instantly and swallowed.“You don’t have to do this,” I began slowly and he snorted.“Don’t I? Amelia, you don’t know how much trouble you’re in.”He grabbed my arm harshly and turned me to face him, the sharp edge of his knife now digging into my stomach. Fear gri
KADEN’S P.O.VAs soon as Caleb drove off with Amelia, I felt someone slap me upside the head.There were only a handful of people who would dare to do that- my mother, Amelia and Pamela- I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.“You idiot,” Pamela hissed. “What were you thinking? She told you t
