Loving Her (Keeping Her)
“"Essie. What are you doing here?" Demon asked coming at them from behind while they turned from the gate.
"Got somethin' for you." "Did your Alpha send you?" "Hah. Mangy wolf never was my Alpha. Last Alpha I recognized was your grandfather." "Then why are you here?" "Didn't know your grandfather was my brother did you?" That shut Demon up. Seeing his face, she cackled, thumping her cane against the ground for emphasis. Then she patted the little girl that was hanging onto her dress. "Thi...s here's Roxanne. She was git by your mother’s cousin. That makes her kin to you and me and since I'm movin' on, I'm leavin' her to you." Demon growled. "Come again?" "Her mother passed, years back." Her tone said he was slow. "Girl here needs pack that she can trust. That's you and your mate. I was a bit worried when I heard she was human, but when those wolves you sent back got through tellin' how she handled Clancy, it put my mind to rest." "You can't just give us a child." "Can. And I got other news you need to hear right enough. Think we can get to the neighborly part of the visit yet?" Demon looked from her to the little girl. He remembered seeing her at his mother’s funeral. She still looked like she'd been rolling in the dirt but someone had washed a swath off her face in some kind of pathetic effort to make her presentable. Once again, he was put in mind of a baby angel. Her face was expressionless, but her hand was white knuckled around Essie’s dress. She was so tiny in her grubby blue jeans and sneakers that he felt like an ogre beside her.MoreLess
