I snap my head back to look up at him. “My last name is Clayburn.”

“No, it fucking isn’t. That bastard doesn’t get to lay one more fucking claim on you. As of now, your last name is Ryan. Remember, little one, you’re mine.” He pins me with a stern stare. “It’s Anastasia Ryan now.”

Oh. Well… I guess that doesn’t sound so bad.

Chapter Thirteen

Patrick

Cali

So… How’s it going with Ana?

Paisley

Have you told her about us?

Scarlet

She’s coming on Monday, right?

Kieran

Why the fuck do I keep getting added to group chats?

Declan

Cali Ann, how many times do I have to tell you to quit adding us to your friend chats?

Bash

Gossip on Patrick? I’m here for it. Who is Ana?

Katie

She’s Patrick’s Little girl.

Killian:

Paisley

I want her to meet my puppy. I bet she’ll love him!

Kieran

That thing isn’t a puppy, it’s a goddamn bear. And he ate my goddamn shoes this morning.
