Chapter 238

“Do you need help?” I ask her.

“Probably with her hair. I can bathe her while you strower and then you can hold her while I wash her hair. Then, you need rest, and I need to get back to your brother. I told him I wouldn’t be gone long.”

“He’s a worrier, my brother,” I say, stepping into the shower and moaning obscenely.

I hear Penny laughing. “I told you it was fantastic. You never know how amazing warm water is until you don’t have it.”

“You’re so right,” I say, beginning to work the shampoo into my hair. I have to wash it three times before it finally rinses clean, then I slather the conditioner on it.

“So, tell me about yourself. Tell me about Jaime,” she says.

While I scrub my body, I tell her about our family and about the Alpha being jealous of Jaime.

“Your father was a Lead Warrior?” she asks, and something in her tone has me looking out of the shower.

“Yes, why?” I ask, seeing her smile.

“I can’t wait to spar with him and see how good he is,” she says excitedly.

“He’s really good. I personally think that’s another reason Alpha Leo was intimidated by him. I think Jaime could have defeated him in a challenge.”

“He’s that good?” she asks.

“He was. I’m not sure how long it’s been since he’s trained, but he’s still very strong,” I say, stepping out of the shower, and seeing Penny still smiling as she carefully bathes Chloe.

I quickly wrap a towel around myself and kneel down beside her, reaching in to hold my sister. She gets the shampoo and like me, we have to wash Chloe’s hair several times before it comes clean,

emptying the water in the tub and refilling it. My sister barely moves. She must be so exhausted, and I have to admit, now that my stomach is full and I’m clean, I’m struggling to keep my eyes open too.

We finish getting Chloe bathed and Penny picks her up and holds her while I dry her off. I get the brush and begin to untangle the knots from her hair before we get her dressed and into the bed, pulling the extra blanket off.

“Here, sit. I’ll brush your hair,” she says.

I hear my brother’s soft growl before the door closes. I fall asleep thinking how lucky it is that we arrived here so that Jaime could find his mate.

Hunter

The information that Jaime had for me was interesting, but not totally unexpected. I knew Koden was still out there, I knew Aiden was still out there, and Alaric is as well, for the time being.

The biggest question I have is the timing. It’s a bit too convenient that

-Lhear about the three remaining Alphas wanting to gather their forces

and attack, at the same time that Alpha Zahn, who made a point of not participating in the war, wants to come ‘visit‘ my pack.

“What are you thinking, Hunter?” Sophie asks. She’s still in my lap and I realize that as I’ve been thinking, my hands have been protectively rubbing over her stomach, shifting to the spots where I can feel my pup. I love feeling my son moving around, but it’s making my need to protect become much stronger and I’m afraid Sophie is going to find me suffocating soon.

“Alpha Zahn,” I say, still deep in thought.
