All Chapters of The Nanny and the Four Alphas: Chapter 41 - Chapter 47

Logan“The people who murdered your mother’s family know you’re alive.”Seraphina’s words hadn’t finished echoing in my head before Brutus surged forward so violently my claws punched through the tips of my fingers.Kill them.For once, I wasn’t telling him to calm down.Olivia stood beside me staring at the woman who claimed to be her aunt, all the color gone from her face. Five minutes ago, she’d been joking that she was only a nanny. Now she’d been told she was descended from a Fae Queen and that the people responsible for slaughtering her mother’s family were coming for her.“No,” Olivia finally said.Seraphina frowned. “No?”“No, you don’t get to drop something like that on me and stop talking.” Olivia folded her arms, although I noticed her hands were trembling. “Who killed them? Why? And why did my mother spend my entire life pretending none of this existed?”“That conversation should happen somewhere protected,” Dad said.Seraphina looked toward him. “Your territory isn’t as p

Olivia“Cassian is dying.”Of everything Seraphina had told me, those three words were the ones that hit hardest.I didn’t understand why. I didn’t know Cassian. Until yesterday, I hadn’t even known his name. He was simply the giant silver wolf who kept appearing outside the Hawthorn house and speaking inside my head. Yet the thought of him dying caused an ache so sharp in my chest that I pressed my hand against it.“No.”Seraphina’s expression softened. “Olivia—”“No. How do you know he’s dying?”“Because maintaining your mother’s spell all these years has required an enormous amount of power.

For years, while I was worrying about bills, working whatever jobs I could find, and trying to keep my father functioning, someone I didn’t even know existed had apparently been quietly protecting me.“Why?”Seraphina hesitated.“Because he loved your mother.”Somet

Jeremy“My dad called him Uncle Adrian.”For several seconds, nobody said anything.Then everybody started talking at once.“When was the last time you saw him?”“How often was he at your house?”“Did your mother know him?”“Did he ever contact you after she died?”Olivia’s eyes bounced between Logan, Ethan, Dad, and Seraphina as questions came at her from every direction. Thomas wasn’t joining in, but I saw him watching her the same way I was.She looked overwhelmed.“Everybody stop.”The room went quiet.Logan frowned at me. “What?”“Look at her.”That did it.Olivia stood in the middle of us with her arms wrapped around herself. Her face was pale, and she looked like she was trying to search twenty years of memories while six people demanded answers she didn’t have.“We’re interrogating her,” I said.Dad sighed. “Jeremy—”“She found out werewolves exist today. Then she found out she’s our mate, apparently Fae royalty, and that we’re technically quadruplets even though two of us spe
