“Oh, Keegan,” Vianne said from behind me. I turned toward her and smiled. I looked at Claire, who had her arms crossed over her chest, glaring at me?
Like mother like daughter.
“Claire,” I said softly, dejected as I looked away. I had never been at the end of a look from a little girl like that. I knelt beside the door I had to work on, putting my tools down, not sure what to say to her. I knelt beside the door I had to work on, putting my tools down, not sure what to say to her.
I heard Claire sigh, and then, I felt her tiny body tackle me to the floor. Vianne chided her softly, but I could hear the laughter in her voice. Claire tugged on my hair so that I would look at her. “Don’t break your promise,” she pronounced each word as if each one was a statement.
The promise was about what I had said to her when she had arrived. To take the hurt away, to make sure the monster never got her mother

Keegan POV:I headed downstairs from the gym. I had been working out non-stop to help release some of the pent-up frustration. Vianne was certainly not making things easy for me, though it hadn’t seemed intentional. It was mainly my over-active imagination and lustful thoughts. It hadn’t taken much to get me worked up again. Clement and Dennis had left about ten minutes after Claire’s secret promise to Clement. Vianne and I had made a simple lunch.Shortly after eating, Claire had fallen asleep on the couch and Vianne had asked me to take her to her room. After putting Claire down for her nap, I’d gone to check on Vianne. The bathroom door was slightly open. I had knocked on it so that I could offer her my laptop again when I heard a soft voice singing from beyond the door.Curiosity got the best of me and I peered inside. There she was, standing near the shower. She had left the bathroom door wide open, hot steam billowin

Keegan POV:The rest of the day passed by slowly and I spent the afternoon completely avoiding the woman that called to me like no one had before her. An hour after the incident in the office, she knocked on the door, letting me know that dinner was ready. When I had made my way to it, she was already gone. I ran my hands through my hair in frustration for the remainder of the day. Dinner was mostly in silence. Vianne only spoke when someone asked a question, though she was more lively when she spoke to Claire. Me, however, she answered in one or two words. I hated it but knew that it was for the best. How many times did I have to tell myself before I truly believed it?Claire kept looking between us and sighed, no doubt sensing the tension. After dinner, Vianne and I sat down with her daughter. We discussed all the rules and things she could tell her friends she made while at school. We had her repeat everything back to us until she got the sto

Keegan POV:I cursed the bastard that hurt her internally, slipping Claire under the covers. Vianne had remained downstairs to clean up our movie night mess and would come up to tuck her daughter in when she was done. As I turned on Claire’s night light, I found her wide awake, watching me closely. Her bottom lip trembled as her long lashes captured the tears in her eyes. “What is it, Claire?”“It’s starting again,” she whispered. “What is?”“You and Mommy act like her and daddy used to.” That had me shaking my head and I knelt beside her bed. “No, Claire,” I said hoarsely. A lump was stuck in my throat. “No way. It’s not like that at all. I will never hurt your mother. Ever.”“But you’re not talking to her.”I sighed and brushed a wayward curl from her face. There was no simple way to explain to her why things were th

[WARNING: The second half of this chapter contains smut. Read at your own risk.] Keegan POV: The conversation ended there. We arrived and there was a delivery truck parked near my porch. Vianne and I met up at the door as the delivery guy unloaded box after box. She seemed excited, looking at some labels as I signed. “I didn’t know everything would arrive so early, I was expecting most of it tomorrow.” There were boxes with animals drawn on them and others were plainly labeled. The delivery man handed me one last box. It had no distinguishing features. Instantly, I recalled her shopping list. The more I thought about it, the surer I was that it was her toy. I thought that some of the list were not real but apparently not. Vianne took the box that I literally gripped in my hands. I grumbled, helping her with the rest of the deliveries. I put everything in the hallway that led to our bedrooms. I left Vianne on her own devices and headed for the gym. The punching bag’s chain ratt

[WARNING: The first part of the chapter has explicit sexual content. Read at your own risk.] Keegan POV: I was on my back with a simple shift of her hips. It took me by surprise. “Vianne,” I grunted. She remained laying on my chest for a few moments to catch her breath before her hips started to roll gently. The feel of her nipples grazing my chest sent a jolt of lust through my blood. I groaned deeply, grasping her thighs where they met her hips and helping her move. I growled as I lifted myself up, hitting deep within her body. “Oh god… Keegan,” she moaned, pulling herself up. Her hands were on mine as she moved above me. I was groaning and grunting at the pace she set, riding me harder than I thought she was capable of. I enjoyed every second of it. I watched as she threw her head back. Her mouth parted slightly, a thin sheen of sweat coating her skin. I took one of her hands and led it between her thighs. We both circled around, barely skimming the wet skin, causing her to

Keegan POV:I noticed Vianne bend over the back seat so that her fitted jeans slid down, giving me a perfect look at her exposed skin. I looked away from her and towards Claire to diffuse my thoughts. Claire pursed her lips as I opened Vianne’s door. I waited for her to climb in and closed the door behind her. The drizzle descended from the sky as I jogged over to the other side. I could see the mother and daughter having an intense conversation inside the car. I smiled and tried to shake off the sudden warmth in my chest.Having a family was something I had always wanted, but since I entered Clement’s world, it had been put to the back of my mind. What scared me at the moment was that when I looked at Vianne and Claire, I could see the benefits of having someone to share my life with. The kind of life my parents lived for so long. They loved each other dearly, I could see it every single day. But my father was a strict alpha, concer

Keegan POV:We agreed that it was best to keep a close eye on Brant. We had to stay a step ahead of him. Clement was going to send two of his best trackers to Darwin. If anyone could find dirt on Brant and his family, it would be the tracker wolves in Clement’s pack. Somehow, his tracking skills had taken on a technological side, making one of the good with computers and numbers and the other to physically follow people and through new detective methods. They were invaluable assets to the pack. Unfortunately, Clement decided to send members of the pack to babysit Claire while she was at school and both his girls were at the house until we were sure Wilson wouldn’t divulge information to Brant. Though he had originally contacted outside people for Claire’s protection, Clement decided that pack members whose future Luna’s life was at stake would be the best to handle the situation.They were sentinels, watchers, and also protectors.

Keegan POV:I watched as they chose a pen for Claire to write. Apparently, Claire was particular about such things. “Keegan, you don’t have to watch us,” Vianne said quietly, while still helping her daughter. “It’s fine,” I responded just as quietly. “I find it fascinating to watch you two.” They smiled at me and turned their attention back to the notebook. Vianne had some kind of pencil as she wrote something on the corner of the page. It pained me to see her hide her wince as her thumb twitched several times. Thankfully, the little girl was too busy taking in the view from the window. I left them to their own device after a few minutes and shed my boxer to shift. I ran into the treeline and made two rounds around the house before I noticed Vianne walking into the trees, still in her bikini set. She quickly discarded the clothes and shifted. She trotted in deeper and finally joined me towards the thicker area.

Claire POV:College was not as fascinating as I had thought it would be. My classmates seemed to be just as rash and childlike as those in the high school. But it was the behavior of the professors that kept me going. I enjoyed listening to their lecture. I enjoyed reading the extra material they asked us to read but no one else did.If a professor said it was optional reading, I definitely read it. I asked questions after class, often getting disgruntled looks from my classmates. Sometimes I received irritation from the professors and teaching assistants too. But all of it was overshadowed by the simple fact that I felt watched.It had been a long time since I had felt like something was chasing me at all times of the day.At first, I had ignored it, thinking that Dad was correct, that I was just nervous and missing them. But then the feeling persisted. I knew what nervousness felt like. I knew how much I missed my family. But there was nausea that overtook me at certain times of the

Keegan POV:I heard the baby monitor beep and squinted into the darkness, hoping it was nothing. The clock read three in the morning and this was a usual time for Vianne and me to wake up every morning. One of many. I sniffed and looked over at Vianne, who was curled on her side, still facing me. Her eyes were screwed shut and she was definitely awake, but she didn’t want to get off the bed. Understandable. She had a little shifter for a baby and it was safe to say nothing fun came from breastfeeding our son Kyle. He was still small, needing to wake up every few hours to be fed and bathed. Vianne, who despised breast pumps ended up sobbing in relief when I bought one this time around.I looked at the monitor again and saw that our son was wide awake, blinking and cooing at the camera with a gummy smile. He was a jolly child but he still needed to be fed and changed. I slipped out of bed and turned the alarm on the monitor off. I found Vianne smiling groggily at me and chuckled. “Go b

[Warning: The chapter contains explicit sexual content. Please read at your own risk.]Keegan POV:I heard the chime from Vianne's cell phone and knew it was Claire. She checked it, laughing."She asked if we were at the cabin yet.""Well damn, she gave me away." "A cabin?" "I said it was only a couple of hours by car. And it's pretty secluded and we'll have it all to ourselves." She laughed and kissed my cheek. "You don't have to convince me. It sounds perfect and that explains why you only brought us one bag for a three-night stay." I growled and pulled her hand to my mouth. "We won't be leaving the cabin for much. And being naked all weekend is mandatory." "Yes, alpha," she purred.Fuck. Did she have any idea what her saying things like that, in that fucking hot voice of hers did to me? I groaned when I felt her free hand rub between my thighs. "Oh fuck," I hissed and released her other hand. Both of my own gripped the steering wheel, desperately trying not to fucking kill us

Keegan POV:Minutes later, Vianne stood on a chair as I stood in front of her, holding onto her hips so she wouldn't fall. Behind her were Claire, Tory, and several other single women, all looking up as Vianne waved the small bunch of flowers overhead. Twice Vianne faked it, making them laugh and scream at her.Finally, at the end of the next countdown, Vianne threw it over her shoulder. I looked to see who caught it, finding a wide-eyed Tory holding the bouquet in her hands. However, seconds after, Clement passed her, grabbing the prize and handing the flowers back to my wife.There were several laughs and Tory groaned, chasing him toward Vivian who was too busy trying not to laugh. Then he went back for Claire. Good, I knew he was on my side."I can't believe your dad," Vianne said from her perch. She looked down at me as she waited for everyone to settle again. "You're enjoying yourself aren't you?" I shrugged, not apologizing for my wandering hands. My fingers were barely grazing

Keegan POV:Sensing my eyes on her, my daughter offered me a smile and wave. She blew me a kiss, which I caught mid-air, making her giggle. I winked and turned to Vianne who was watching me."You've been an amazing father," she whispered, tears filling her eyes. "I want to see you with a baby in your arms, sleeping on your chest."I leaned in, brushing her hair aside to whisper in her ear. "I want to see your belly grow with our son or daughter, watch you sit in a rocker as you breastfeed, and listen to you sing a lullaby-like you still do with Claire. I hope you never stop singing like that, sweetheart.""As long as I have someone willing to listen, I won't." She kissed me then, prolonging it with a sweep of her tongue along my lips. "I love you, so much, Keegan."I smiled as I went back for another kiss. "I know." She laughed, smacking my gut with her hand. "I love you, too. It's a good thing you do though. I would hate to be the only one."Something caught her attention over my sho

Keegan POV:"I'll get you!" I handed Claire to Vianne and followed the asshole. Why was it that Claire always asked the most uncomfortable questions when he was around?I heard my mother ask what was wrong from behind me. "He's still struggling with how smart our daughter is." "Did I hear something about baby sister or brother?" I heard several people laugh as I chased Ricki around a table. "It's not my fault she figured out what happens during a honeymoon!" "She didn't even know we were going to one!""Sorry," he said, laughing as he twisted away from my reach. "It didn't take much for her to work it out when I told her she couldn't join you." I growled and tried to grab him. "All you had to say was to ask me or Vianne." "Sorry!" I laughed and shook my head, knowing it wasn't really his fault. I just wanted to give him a hard time. I would smash some cake into his face later anyway. "Alright," I said, clapping a hand on his shoulder. "I'll let this go, but not before I tell th

Keegan POV:My baby girl looked like a mini beauty queen. Dressed in a white dress, she was eating up the attention, the gown covered in lace and tiny crystals. Her dark curls held small flowers and sparkled as she threw petals every few steps. She gave me a wink that had me rethinking strategies of keeping her locked up the moment she became a teenager.She was going to break so many hearts.As Mom and Dad made their way down the aisle, both smiling widely, I knew we made the right choice for me to come home for this.The music changed as my parents took their seats, both giving me a small hug before they sat. I looked up toward the entrance where I knew Vianne would appear, anticipation sizzling through me. As the music took on a softer quality, I saw a hint of white.My eyes ran the length of her; she was gorgeous, perfection and mine.The dress highlighted her beautiful body, making her look like a dream come true.Beside her Clement looked nervous as he stared at his feet, to mak

Keegan POV:Tess. She winked over my aunt's shoulder. Somehow, I knew my friends would find a way to be with me on my wedding day. My aunt, oblivious to me, went inside the wedding tent and Tess made her way to me."Don't you look handsome," she said, lifting her hands to fix my bow tie. "I'm glad you're here," I said softly, not wanting to be overheard. She smiled and shrugged. "We wouldn't miss it for the world." "Please tell me Edwin is in disguise.She knew why I asked. Though he wasn't widely known as the man that took over Clement's organization, he had made the news a few times already.“He let his beard grow out and changed his eyebrows. Even I had a hard time recognizing him,” she whispered, still smiling. "Where is he?"She cocked an eyebrow. "I'm the boss today, so he's somewhere around here following my orders."I laughed and wished I could hug her. "Thanks for coming," I said. "Who else is here?" She tried to play it off, but I could see right through her. Some of the

Keegan POV:I should have known. It hurt to know that she didn't seem to feel the bond I felt toward Claire."You feel it acutely because she is your mate’s daughter. It is an unbreakable bond. That's not to say I don't love her already," she added in a soft whisper."You do?""Irrevocably," she said with a smile. "How could anyone not love a pup like her? She's so beautiful and we share a hobby!" She laughed at that and I realized I had nothing to worry about with her and Claire. I couldn't tell her the whole truth, but I had to say something to ease her curiosity."She was running from an abusive boyfriend when we met," I said, coming up with a different cover story as I sat beside her. I hated the lie falling from my lips, but it was a price I paid to keep my family safe. "It was one of the reasons why Troy told you to wait a few months ago. He came looking for them after all this time."She nodded. "And that situation is resolved?""Yes," I said, kissing her temple. "I can't tell
