Sitting in my office after leaving Natalia with Nova, I couldn’t focus. All I could think of was the feel of her body pressed into mine. She was definitely too thin; when my hand landed on her side, I could have counted each of her ribs. Watching her eat slowly and then stop after only eating a small amount, I was worried she was starving herself on purpose.Griffin called me into a meeting, and my mind kept wandering while the client spoke. Griffin kicked me under the conference table, and I jerked my thoughts back to the present. I had to get a grip. She was wolf-less and not worthy of having an alpha mate. I should just reject her and get it over with, but then she would probably not help with Natalia.My daughter has never been so accepting of a stranger. Seeing her open up to Nova had been a surprise. Watching her and Nova chatting easily in her bedroom made me think that maybe this arrangement would work.Walking into my home at exactly six had been planned. I didn’t want to spe

My teeth were definitely chattering by the time morning rolled around. I wondered if I could slip into the packhouse early to warm up rather than sit out here in the cold. Maybe nobody would notice me if I curled up in a corner somewhere. I pulled out my leftovers from the diner and sighed. It had tasted so much better when it was fresh and hot. After eating half of the cold fries and a quarter of what was left of the burger, I used the restroom and brushed my teeth. A hot bath or shower sounded heavenly right now. Pulling into the packhouse parking lot, I slipped inside the building and found a dark corner in the dining room. Curling into a chair, I tried to blend in and not be seen. It was working, too, until Landon walked through the dining room.I did my best to stay completely still and hidden, but he noticed me almost immediately. I thought he was going to ignore me until he walked to my little table and set a cup of hot chocolate down in front of me. “It’s still a little ear

By the time I got to Blanche’s house, my head was pounding, but my hands were toasty thanks to my new gloves. I still couldn’t believe someone left me such a wonderful gift. The scarf and gloves were soft and expensive. I felt bad wearing them because I really had never had anything this nice before. Blanche wasn’t home when I arrived, and I frowned. I thought she said she would be home. Sending her a quick text, I waited in my car. Her text caused me to deflate. I’m so sorry, Nova. My mom fell down the stairs, and I’m at the hospital with her. I’ll text Sonni and see if you can stay with them until I get back. My heart dropped. Sonni wasn’t going to want a stranger in her home. They had all been so nice when I first met them, but it would be so different if I intruded on their family time. Wrapping my new scarf around my neck a little tighter, I wondered if there was a park around here I could park without being noticed. Sonni says you are more than welcome. They are setting up f

“Your nanny’s car is in the shop. She’s a little freaked out about it and very reluctant to use one of my extra cars.” Griffin called me into his office Monday morning. “So what you’re saying is that I need to find someone else to watch Natalia tomorrow.” This day was starting with a bang. “No. I’m informing you that Nova is currently stranded. Maybe you could drive her up to the packhouse tonight and then back down Thursday evening. That would solve a lot of problems for her and you.”“Not really. Where in the hell would she stay since she wouldn’t be able to drive back and forth?”Griffin looked at me with a weird look. “Where did she stay last week?”“What are you talking about? She stayed with Blanche.”“No, I remember Blanche saying she stayed up north because she was worried her car wouldn’t make it.” Griffin watched me closely.“Why didn’t she stay in Erica’s old room?”I bristled at that. There was no way my mate was staying the night in my home. I was losing control of Rang

Landon left to check on a security issue, and Edge took Natalia upstairs, leaving me alone in the dining room. I wasn’t entirely sure what I was supposed to do or where to go. Taking my suitcase, I found a little alcove tucked out of the way. Sitting on one of the chairs, I pulled out my phone and charger. I knew it was almost dead, and there was an outlet in the alcove. As my phone charged, I sat quietly and tried to look like I belonged there while curling into myself so maybe nobody would even notice I was there. When people started filling the packhouse’s lower level while waiting for dinner, I slipped outside with my suitcase. It really was colder up here than it was in the southern territory. I wondered why. It was definitely colder than Missouri.Tugging my gloves on, I carried my suitcase along the sidewalk. I didn’t know the area well, and without my car, I wasn’t exactly sure where I could sleep. The little park wasn’t far, and when I arrived, I glanced around. Surely, ther
