Arianna: “Hi, baby,” I smiled, carrying my daughter in my arms. She giggled and laid her head on my chest before I kissed the crown of her head. “Thank you, Irina.” I said, smiling at the woman. The fact that she was willing to accept taking care of my daughter, regardless of having her own son to take care of was something that I was thankful for, especially considering the fact that I knew how tiring it was to take care of one child, let alone two. “She is my niece, Arianna, you don’t have to thank me.” She said, and I smiled. Kai wrapped his arm around Irina, pulling her to his chest, and though the pair claim that they are nothing ‘official’, I could tell that they were. The man was doing his best to win her over, and though I knew that things were still fresh between her and her ex, I could tell that she was still leaning toward the idea of being with Kai. Elijah didn’t seem to like it though, and I knew that he wanted to do a lot about it. The one thing that was stopping him

Arianna: I put Ray inside the crib beside Alina. I wrapped my hands either side of the rail as I looked at the two children. Ray whimpered, and I could tell that he was missing his mom. Whatever was happening, I knew that it was bad; otherwise, the house wouldn’t be as tense and my wolf wouldn’t be on high alert. The nursery’s door was knocked before I turned around to open it. My eyes met Kai’s and he took a deep breath before I took a step back, allowing him inside. The frown that was on his face told me that he was angry with what he saw, but at this point, I really couldn’t do anything. I just had to wait like he was, and only then were we going to figure out what was really going on. “Do you want to take a seat?” I asked, nodding at the chair and he shook his head as he looked at both kids. “I didn’t want to stay outside, waiting for whatever was going to happen when I could tell that things were getting heated between the two of them.” He explained, and I nodded in un

Arianna:I watched as Dean entered the room. His body sagged as if he carried the weight of the world over his shoulders, and I didn’t need to be told that something happened to understand that she seemed to bare more than he could handle.His eyes met mine and I frowned at the sight of blood that was on his hands. My heart raced against my ribcage at the sight, and though it wasn’t the first time that I have seen blood in my life, I couldn’t help but tense at the sight.“Dean…”“I don’t want to answer any questions, Arianna.” He said, and I shook my head before approaching him. I took his hand in mine and silently guided him to the bathroom. I wasn’t one to interfere in what didn’t concern me, I knew my limits when it came to that; but the fact that I could tell that Dean was upset was something that I wasn’t going to get over easily. “How about I prepare a bath for you while you take your clothes off?” I asked, my voice softening and he nodded, making my heart swell at the fact tha

Irina: I walked out of the dining room and toward Elijah’s. I knew that I was not allowed inside, and that IF Dean knew that I went to see him, he would be more than furious. But I knew that I had to face him. I knew that if I was going to move on, I had to go and confront him with everything that he broke me with. “Open the door,” I told Nikolai, who was standing by the door. He frowned as he looked at me, and shaking his head in question, I didn’t need to think twice to know that he didn’t want to do it. “Does Dean know?” He asked, and I shook my head. The thing was, even the men of the house were not going to allow me to go inside. After they saw him raising a hand on me, it took a lot more than just a word from me for them not to kill him. It was the beta’s order that forced them to back down when I requested it. My heart raced against my ribcage and I couldn’t help but fear him going to tell Dean about this. “I don’t want him to,” I said, looking away from him. “I understand

Dean:I kissed Arianna’s forehead as she lay asleep on bed.I had a few things to deal with, and one of them was checking on how my sister felt about Elijah leaving.No matter how much she hid it, I knew that it would be hurting her, and no matter how much I wanted to deny it, but I knew that not even Kai was going to be able to fill or read that pain in her eyes. I closed the door carefully, not wanting to wake her up before I walked to Alina’s nursery.Her nurse had her in her arms as she had just finished changing her and I nodded in thanks as she handed her to me. My daughter’s eyes lit up when she saw me and I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my lips at the sight. “Hi, baby,” I whispered to her. She extended her hand to shove in my mouth and I couldn’t help but laugh before taking her small and to kiss it gently. “How was she?”“She’s well, Alpha. She woke up a while ago, was fed and changed,” her nurse said, and I nodded. I kissed her cheek, and my scruff gently scratche
