It seems to take forever to walk to a better neighborhood, but it’s worth it because there’s a nice park with some benches and play equipment. “I guess you’re a little young for that,” I say to Astrid. “But maybe we can stop for a rest at least.” I lay out her blanket on the grass, and she blinks a
*Eli*The maid hasn’t tried to keep me out since I heard the baby crying. She’d said, “One moment, sir,” and then rushed off. I come into the living room, trying to wait patiently by the door while I listen to her speaking to someone in the background.Most of me wants to tear through the house, kno

In fact, looking around, I’m noticing quite a few of Alpha Mark’s people standing between me and the entrance to the castle. “No matter,” I say. “I’m not here to see that idi—to see Alpha Mark anyway. My business is in your dungeo
*Rose* I have three babies. Three babies in my arms. Two sons and a daughter. I love them more than anything in the universe. I love them so much my heart is heavy with emotion. Ethan does look different without his bright red hair, but I know that will grow back… eventually. But… there’s also a
