Chapter 55 Brooklyn

Louisa turns her eyes to me as soon as I am seated, the baby in her lap staring at me curiously. "Hello, Brooklyn," she says, her face cold.

"Hello," I say, giving her as much of a smile as I can manage. I can't stand her, and she has been nothing but unkind. But I can't afford to make her even more of an enemy. Not only is she mated to my biological father, she's mated to a powerful Alpha. Which means she holds power.

Logan peeks around her to give me a happy wave, which I return.
