After a few minutes, she reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone. “I have to make sure Jace is safe.”

Josiah

Logan sat a cup of coffee on the table and smiled at Josiah. “Don’t worry. I dumped out that swill your mother made this morning and made a fresh batch.”

“I have no idea how you’ve managed to stay alive all these years. I love Mom, but her cooking is awful.”

“I just keep reminding myself that I love her, she’s my wife, and I have to make her happy by eating her food. I eat a little bit and then go out somewhere.”

Josiah laughed.

Logan looked at his son speculatively. “What about you and Zahra?”

“We’ve been spending a lot of time together, as a family, and time with just me and her. I care about her a great deal.”

His father raised his eyebrows. “Care about her a great deal?” he echoed.

“Okay, so I love her. She is an amazing mother and a terrific woman.”

“When are you going to ask her to go through the mating ceremony with you?”

“I’ve been thinking about it, but I’m a little terrified about jumping into a situation,” Josiah admitted.

“You, terrified? I’ve never known you to be afraid of anything since you could walk.”

Josiah laughed and ran his fingers through his hair. “I know, it sounds stupid.”

“What about her scent?”

“Her scent has stayed with me since that first night we had sex and she conceived Jace. It was why the romance with Madison never worked out. All I could think about was Zahra.”

“She’s your fated mate. You need to stop being an idiot and just thinking about asking her to go through the mating ceremony with you and actually ask her.”

He grinned. “I’m working on it. Right now, I’ve been a little preoccupied with other things.”

“Vampires and hunters.”

“Yes, for starters. Plus, the Alpha from a wolf shifter pack in the St. Theresa area has decided that Zahra is going to be his Luna. He has sent his goons to harass her. He’s threatened Jace, and I’m pretty sure he’s in town. Someone visited Jace at his school and gave him a note to give to her, along with a diamond right. The jeweler identified the ring as one of his.”

Logan’s eyes grew hard and the vein on the side of his neck started throbbing. He was as angry as Josiah felt. “He had someone give it to Jace at his school to prove they can get to him there and she can’t do anything to protect him.”

Josiah nodded. “Exactly.”

“If they hurt one hair on either of their heads, I will destroy them,” Logan said. “He is my grandchild and she is my daughter, now.”

“Oh, yeah. I’ve been staying the night to protect them. Elias left his mark on her house this morning.”

“Does the man have a death wish?”

Josiah growled. “It would seem so. Zac and Conner are furious, and Callie has already steam-roasted one of Elias’ goons. I’m sure she’d be delighted to do it again.”

Logan laughed. “I bet. She is one tough woman, and I wouldn’t go toe to toe with her in human form.”

Josiah took a sip of coffee and then felt his phone buzz in his pocket. “Hello.”

“Josiah, can you pick Jace up from school?” Her voice was shaking and Josiah instantly knew something was wrong.
