“Was there anything useful?” I asked.

I had done my best to avoid snooping, but it was hard to ignore the scraps of lace I had seen in some of those clear plastic boxes.

My mind had been thinking about them a little too often.

She grimaced. “Not really. The clothing was all from before I had Luka, so they're mostly too small for me, but we managed to recover all of the photographs and his first outfit and baby blankets, so that’s what really matters.” She smiled. “Also, my ID and documents. Actually, now that I have my purse back, I was going to order a few more basics. Am I okay to have them delivered here?”

I nodded. “Of course, you’re more than welcome to. I’m sorry we couldn’t save more.”

Part of me wanted to give her my card and insist she use it to purchase her clothing, but I doubted she would accept that. Little did she know that Rune had purchased that gift card he had convinced her was about to expire.

For now, my alpha would have to be happy with simply feeding her and having her under the same roof as me.

“You saved me and Luka, which is all that matters. Everything else is just a bonus.” Sunny shrugged.

“How did you end up living there, if you don’t mind me asking? It’s not exactly the best neighborhood…”

Sunny snorted. “It’s not, but it was the only building that didn’t want a stupidly large amount of cash as a deposit. I didn’t have to work while pregnant, but I also didn’t have much, and the last thing I wanted was to beg my brother for more support—he was a college student and didn’t work either because he played hockey.”

“But he did help?” I asked, cocking my head to the side as I grabbed another cookie.

Yes, I was already on my third cookie and had zero regrets about it.

If her brother was a support, then why the hell wasn’t he helping her now? Not that I was complaining, because it meant we got to have her here, at the station.

Then again, the station probably wasn’t the best setup for her and her son.

“He did, he gave me whatever he could. He even offered to let me live with him and his pack, but it just didn’t feel right, you know?”

“Sounds like a good brother.”

“He is. I haven’t exactly told him about all this yet.” She grimaced, waving her hand, gesturing to everything.

I frowned. “How come?”

“My twin has a toddler, not much younger than Luka, and his omega just gave birth. There is a whole story about how they had a one-night stand, then later, after they lost touch, she met his pack mate and got pregnant again.”

My brows rose. “That sounds like one of the soap operas my aunt used to watch.”

Also, she had said she was atwin. Did that mean it ran in the family? Was there a chance she could have adorable little twin babies?

My mind was already running away with me, my cock stiffening at the thought.

“It does, doesn’t it?” Sunny cried in agreement. “Like, what are the odds? Still, it worked out for the best. Kennedy is perfect for all of them, and her babies are so freaking cute. She gave birth only two weeks ago, and I don’t want to disturb them.”

“I’m sure he would want to know.”

“Oh, he would, but he missed the early days with his daughter, and there is no way in hell I am going to call him, because he will come running and miss out on some of the early moments with his son. I’m a big girl, and I can take care ofmyself and Luka… with a little help from the sweet firefighters who are letting me stay at the station,” she added with a smile.

I was happy to give her all the help she needed.

Even the help she didn’t know she needed.

Fuck. I was whipped.
