I growled playfully before tickling until she cried in her giggles. “We need to finish,” I said lightly breathless from laughing with her. Since her hair was baby fine, combing through it was relatively easy despite the curls. The task should have felt strange, but instead, I felt nostalgic. When I was a child, I remember watching my mother get ready, sitting at her vanity to comb her hair.
Claire preened in the mirror, checking out my work after I helped her slip on a headband. She turned her face from side to side, deeming herself ready after dabbing a bit of body spray on her wrists. A little adult, indeed.
It was both alarming and so damned cute. “Ready!”
“Let’s go, then,” I said, rising to my feet. She scrambled onto her feet on the chair, despite my protests.
“Turn around, please,” she insisted. “I want a piggyback ride.” When I shook my head, thinking that Vianne

Keegan POV:I sighed, pissed off that it had come to this so soon. I had used an excuse to go to the bathroom and call Clement. He had told me to tell Jarred everything I could about Brant, but he wanted it to remain that the reason we were hiding them was that Vianne and I were involved. Vianne had left her abusive husband but had to go into hiding after he hunted her down. Under no circumstances was anyone to know they were related to Clement. The man had a hard time trusting anyone, even the members of his own pack. The more people who knew about his relationship with Vianne and Claire, the more likely it would be leaked out and used against him. My story of how I had met her on vacation and fallen in love with her stayed. Jarred seemed to believe me and our reasoning for keeping it from him was to do with the connections that Brant had. He reiterated that Vianne was too recognizable and also pointed out that the bounty did not specify Claire. I was

[WARNING: Explicit content up ahead! Read at your own risk. Bring out some holy water and tissues just in case.] Keegan POV: She stood near the foot of the bed, cocking her pretty head and fisting her hands on her hips. It was an enticing picture that had me groaning out loud and so aroused. The moment I leaped off the bed, she took off toward the other side of the room. I regretted needing a big room. My bedroom had originally been two rooms and I had renovated it for my needs. I took some time, but I finally cornered her against the bed. Our breaths were coming in pants as a sheen of sweat coated our skin. She was beautiful all flushed and aroused and mine. I was so ready to touch and kiss every inch of her body. She smirked evilly, and then she turned, bending over the side of the bed. I groaned deeply at the sight of her bare ass on display for me. I had taken her once in the morning, and I still wanted her. I would never have enough. She looked over her shoulder at me.

Keegan POV:“Shit,” I cursed, looking for pants. “He is coming in pretty fast. Do you want us to refuse him entry?”“I am pretty sure at this point he would run your ass over, Jarred. Let him in.” I hung up and quickly located a pair of jeans and shoes. I threw on a shirt, kissing Vianne on her cheek before disarming the alarms. I didn’t want my cousin to alert her and Claire, who had her covers twisted around her feet, another trait she got from Vianne. I smiled and tucked her in gently, careful not to wake her. I left her room and decided to close the door in hopes she wouldn’t hear what was undoubtedly going to be a heated conversation. I heard Troy pull up just short of the front steps of the house. I groaned. What did he really want?Before I answered the door, I saw Vianne, her lips pressed together, wearing a robe and standing at the foot of the stairs. I grimaced because I hadn’t told

Keegan POV:“We both were,” she said with a sigh. “As I said before, I put something in his food to knock him out. He must have known something was off because he instantly sobered up when his eyes started drooping.”“There was a knock on the door,” she said thoughtfully. She pulled her knees to her chest in a defensive position. “He knew something wasn’t right and made himself sick on purpose. That alerted Janice.”“She was at the door and thought it was you.” It was simple math. Vianne nodded. “Janice forced the door open easily, but she was alone. Brant was on her immediately. He is a wolf, and he had a gun. He overpowered her easily and forced her on her knees and secured her with a cord from one of the lamps.” The pain etched on her face was heartbreaking. I couldn’t help but stroke her cheek. She turned to my touch and closed her eyes again, sighing.“B

Keegan POV:Vianne’s eyes widened in confusion. “Why?”“He was from one of the opposing family members.”Her mouth dropped in horror as I continued. “The gun went off, and a bullet hit him in the stomach.”I felt her fingers brush over my cheeks. They came away wet. Looking away, I continued, “Mike just didn’t want me to kill his father.”“We had no idea he was from that family. We found out after that night that Mike’s dad was trying to topple his own brother as the boss and Mike overheard this. He thought running away was the best option and the enemy’s lair was the hiding spot he chose. His dad would never think to search there.”“Keegan. It wasn’t your fault.”I shook my head. “If I had checked my car, he would have been in bed like he was supposed to, instead of at the meeting. God, I was so angry that I… I killed hi

Keegan POV:I groaned when the familiar song blared from my phone the following night. Vianne moaned and tried to move away from me. “Go back to sleep. It’s just Dennis.”“Tell him to shut up,” she mumbled against my chest. I laughed and picked up my phone from the bedside stand. “Dennis,” I answered.“We found them,” he said.“Found who? Vivian and Victoria?” I asked, and suddenly Vianne became alert. “Yes.”“Are they okay?”“Yes, but Vianne’s sister is pissed off.”“Why?”“Well, Vianne and her mother never told her what the hell was going on. She is under the notion that Vianne is a selfish bitch.” I groaned. “Not that I blame Vianne or her mother,” Dennis continued. “She is just twenty. Too young to heart about the things her sister went through.”&

Keegan POV:She went into detail about the fight, questioning Brant’s infidelity and the lies she had discovered. The timestamp was over three years ago. “I am heading to my mom’s with Claire,” she said. “Thank god Tory is visiting Nan. I couldn’t stand her seeing me—” she choked back another sob, “—like this.”And this continued, cataloging her injuries, explaining what had caused it. The asshole had stopped hitting her face… much. He chose instead to hit where the clothes could hide her bruises. She went on to explain why she endured it. “I need to find a way to keep my family safe,” she said at the camera, almost like a plea. “He threatened mom and Tory. She’s a kid. I can’t let him touch her.”I heard said sister sob and tumble to the floor. Another video started and the entries spanned over three years of abuse. “This is

Keegan POV:“Dennis,” Claire squealed, running into his arms the moment she saw him at school. He caught and spun her around and kissed both of her rosy cheeks. She giggled, squirming in his grasp before wrapping her arms around his neck. “I missed you. Is Grandpa here?”“Sure is, princess,” he said, letting her down. “He is in the car.”“Yay!” she screamed as she ran toward the car. After greeting Clement, she spun an amusing tale of a boy that had kissed her while pushing her on the swings. They even shared an extra juice box and vanilla pudding. ‘She is only six! Who is this boy? Where does he live?’I didn’t ask because Vianne seemed very amused. I would get Claire alone and ask for all information pertaining to this boy. I scowled. Apparently, I was muttering under my breath because Vianne leveled me with a glare. I mouthed, “She is only six!” At

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
