Page 51 of Daddy Wolf's Secret Baby

My Dearest Zahra,

I have pictures of the gown you wore to your pack’s gala. You were absolutely stunning and I was so aroused when I saw the pictures.

It has come to my attention that you have been keeping company with a fellow, named Josiah, who is Jace’s father. According to my men, you two have been getting quite cozy. Let me make myself very clear. You belong to me. I will kill anyone who touches what is mine.

You can’t avoid me forever. It will be much easier and safer for everyone if you leave Jace with his father and come back to St. Theresa so that we can go through the mating ceremony, so you can be my Luna. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure that you have plenty of pups to keep you busy and you won’t even remember the bastard child of yours.

Don’t keep me waiting. It could get very ugly if you do.

Elias

Zahra sank down into the chair and stared into space, her hands shaking. She bit her bottom lip.I don’t know whether I’m angrier or more frightened.

She jumped when Jace put his hand on her shoulder.

“Mom, are you okay?”

Zahra didn’t want to scare Jace, but she always believed in being honest with him.

“I’ll be okay. Elias sent me a note because he wants me to be his Luna.”

“Well, that’s not going to happen. Me, Dad, Uncle Zac, and Uncle Conner will protect you.”

“That’s right, Baby Boy.”

“Mom, I’m not a baby. I’m all grown up now.”

She smiled at him and hugged him tightly. “You’ll always be my baby boy, even when you’re as big as your daddy.”

“I guess so. Just don’t call me that in front of my friends.”

“I promise. Go watch television or play a game.”

She sent a group text to Zac and Josiah.There was a letter from Elias waiting for me when I got home. He’s done playing nice.

Both of them said they would be there shortly. Zac showed up about thirty seconds before Josiah.

Zac’s face grew hard. “He must have someone constantly watching the house in order to get these pictures. I guess one of his minions either heard about the gala or they talked to someone who gave them the information.”

“You know that in Angel’s Creek, everyone knows everyone’s business. You can fart in the middle of the night in your bathroom, and the next day the old biddies are looking at you funny. The mundane humans know about all the shifters in the area and know about the galas and other ceremonies.” Zahra sighed. “Hell, they might know before the shifters do.”

She meant to elicit a smile from the men but both of them kept the grim look on their faces.

Jace wandered back in from the living room and Zahra absently picked him up and put him in her lap. He leaned back against her and she wrapped her arms around him, cuddling her son.

“I know that it’s a waste of breath to ask you to come stay with me or your parents,” Josiah said slowly.

“Ah, you’ve come to know me so well.”

“I’ll have more people patrol the area. Keep your doors and windows locked and the alarm set. Even if you’re only walking home from Mom and Dad’s, don’t walk home alone after dark.”

“I have bear spray.”

Zac lowered his head and grinned. “Be that as it may, please make sure you have an escort. That’s not much to ask. Dad will be glad to walk with you, and he’s still a pretty ferocious fighter if he needs to be.”

“Okay, I can agree to that.”

Josiah grabbed her hand. “I just got you back and just got my son. I couldn’t stand to lose you now.”
