Page 65 of Daddy Wolf's Secret Baby

“What’s wrong?”

White hot fury exploded inside of him when she described her encounter. “Go home. I’ll bring Jace to you.”

“What happened?”

Josiah explained the situation as he ran for the door.

“Meet your woman at her house. I’ll pick up Jace. I’m on the approved list,” Logan said. “I’ll bring him to her place.”

He was waiting in front of her house when she drove up the street, opened her garage door, and, pulled in. She jumped out of her car and ran toward him. He saw the panic flash on her face when she realized Jace wasn’t with him.

“Dad is getting him. I was talking to him when your call came in. He wanted me to be here when you got home to make sure you were safe. Dad is furious and said that he would kill anyone who hurt you or Jace.”

She flashed a weak smile. They walked into the garage and she closed the door behind them. Josiah could feel someone’s eyes burning into his back.

“We will find Elias and we will take him out,” he promised through gritted teeth.

“I’m scared. Men like him don’t fight fair. He’s the kind of person who will attack you when you’re sleeping.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be very careful, just as you promised to.”

“I feel better now. It was obvious that he wasn’t going to attack me in a public place during the day when there are witnesses. I’m in a locked house at night, usually with you. I’ll just stay at the office until it’s time to pick up Jace and then we’ll go straight home. We’ll be locked in the house until you get here.”

Josiah didn’t like that idea but didn’t have anything better, short of assigning bodyguards to constantly watch over Jace and Zahra. He was pretty sure if he suggested it, her answer would be a big, resounding, “no.”

I hope that son of a bitch comes after me like a man. I will finish him and the Dark Claw Wolf Shifter Pack will be searching for a new Alpha.

The doorbell rang and Zahra ran to the peephole, then threw open the door.

“Thank you, Sir, for bringing him home.”

Logan stepped inside and she locked the door behind him. He followed them into the kitchen.

“It’s my pleasure. We had a nice conversation on the way over here about how grizzly bears and polar bears can mate and have offspring, but we weren’t sure how they would hook up, since polar bears live in the arctic areas and grizzlies don’t.”

Zahra laughed, but there was no humor in it.

“Mom, what’s wrong?”

“Elias came to see me today.”

Jace clenched his hands and his face turned red. “I’ll take care of you. He won’t touch you.”

Zahra hugged him. “I know you will, Son. Why don’t you go watch television? I’ll make dinner really quick. Mr. Findley, can you stay for dinner?”

“Please, call me Logan. I’d love to stay. Let me call Nevaeh and tell her.”

The five of them talked about Jace’s school and neutral topics during dinner. Then, Jace challenged them to a game ofUno,which Logan won.

“Don’t worry. I’ll get you next time, Grandpa,” Jace said in his meanest fake voice.

Logan grinned at him. “Bring it, Young Apprentice. You have a lot to learn about the game of cards.”

“Oh, brother,” Nevaeh said.

Zahra locked the door and set the alarm after they left. Josiah saw her scan the darkness and then shiver.

“I know they’re out there, somewhere.”
