#Chapter 332 – Bunker
Ella
“We have to go,” Sinclair commands, looking at his brother and then at me, both of our eyes trained on him. “To one of the bunkers. Where we’re better prepared for a siege, if need be.”
I don’t know what he means – not entirely – but I just give my mate a single nod, agreeing to his plan, trusting him. Roger nods as well, and I’m sure he knows more about it than I do. Sinclair shifts his gaze to the team standing wide–eyed behind Roger and nods to them. Understanding Sinclair’s command to prepare to move, they turn away, instantly in action.
Roger, however, stays perfectly still. “Cora,” he says, looking into Sinclair’s eyes, his intention perfectly clear. He won’t go without her.
“We’ll find her,” I answer, my voice a*sured. “She’s coming, Roger. I won’t have it any other way.”
Roger looks between us for a moment, his mouth tightening, and then nods once before turning
to leave the room to make his own preparations.
“Ten minutes!” Sinclair calls after him. “Less, if we can!” I see the back of Roger’s head nod in
understanding, though he doesn’t turn to say anything else.
Then, my mate turns his attention to me, loosening his arms around me and the baby and coming
around to look down into my face. “You’re a mess, little mate,” he murmurs, smiling a little.”
Though I have to admit that I rather like the sight of you covered in the blood of your enemies,
“Thanks,” I say, tossing my hair over my shoulder and pretending a casual air I don’t feel. “I hear
it’s the next big thing in fashion. Very chic.”
He laughs a little at my joke and shakes his head at me, but still looks down at me. “Are you all
right, darling?” he asks, and something about his voice – the worry in it, the need for me to be
okay, loosens the resolve in me. I feel my face fall then, my knees go a little weak –
Because, really, I can be weak now with him here. My baby needed me before – I don’t regret a
moment of it – but I have Sinclair at my side now to keep me safe and I’m free to be vulnerable
again.
“I’m not okay,” I say honestly, shaking my head, my voice trembling a little. Sinclair looks
steadily into my eyes, listening. “But I will be.”
“You will,” he promises, drawing me close and placing a single kiss on my hair: “But we have to
move
“Yes,” I say, zipping myself back up a little and squaring my shoulders as I look my mate up and down. “Um – all this blood –”
“There are showers at the bunker,” he says, shaking his head a little bit and looking around the
room. “Maybe – baby wipes? To get the worst of it from our faces and hands? But the rest of the
time – we need to pack the essentials and get downstairs.”
I laugh a little, heading to Rafe’s changing station with Sinclair in tow, tugging a few baby wipes
from the little container and handing them to my mate before grabbing some to wipe my own face. “To think, when I bought these,” I murmur, “this is not the task for which they were intended
”

Sinclair’s laugh rumbles a little but we both move on quickly, heading together to the closet to
pack two small bags with the essentials – a bit of our clothing, and Rafe’s, and then a diaper bag
with as many diapers and changing essentials as we can fit. Neither of us put Rafe down for a
moment, just pa*sing him between our arms when the other needs both hands. It is an instinct, I
As much as we came out of this horrible day largely unscathed, we are both, I know, shaken.
“Do we need anything else?” Sinclair asks, pa*sing through and not even looking at the
Because, I think as I pull the SUV’s door shut behind me and turn to buckle Rafe into the little car

The readers' comments on the novel: Alpha Dom and His Human Surrogate (PDF)
The last couple of chapters have gotten sloppy, confusing her and him for she/her Sinclair is not a her. Isabel has changed her name to Elizabeth too. Making it hard to read. I’m loving this book, but I hope it goes back to its previous high standard!...
