Chapter 36 Erhan Offers danea Deal

Agitation consumes me so quickly it steals my breath. Where could they have gone? I think manically. Paisley’s not allowed off the ward, and Jane wouldn’t ever risk taking her out of her doctor’s reach this soon after surgery – would she? Did somebody get to them? Have they been taken? Surely Jane wouldn’t have run off with Paisley… the idea is almost too terrible to bear, though she had pushed awfully hard to convince me to go home.

My wolf is in an uproar, clawing at the surface and begging to be let out so he can begin tracking my mate and pup. I’m on the verge of letting him, of tearing the hospital apart to find my she-wolves when the elevator dings and their scents hit me. Charging out of the room, I watch the silver doors open and see Jane wheeling Paisley out in a wheelchair, surprise coloring both of their faces when they realize I’m there. Of course the difference is that where Paisley’s face lights up, Jane’s falls.

All at once my terror wanes, though my frustration remains. They scared the hell out of me!

“Daddy!” Paisley cries, opening her arms to me. I scoop her up immediately, being as gentle as I can.

“Hello angel,” I press half a dozen kisses to her soft cheek. “Did you and Mommy go on an adventure?”

Jane pales when I call her Mommy, but Paisley simply nods and leans back to look me in the face, “we got ice scream!”

“So I see,” I chuckle, wiping a bit of chocolate from the corner of her mouth. “You look like you’re feeling better too.”

“Uh-huh!” She nods happily, “where were you?”

“I went home to take a shower so I wouldn’t smell like a big stinky foot when you woke up.” I tell her, earning a peel of delighted giggles in return.

Paisley cuddles close and breathes in my scent, “you smell good Daddy.” She confirms, then lowers her voice conspiratorially, “but Mommy smells better.”

“What?!” | cry, pretending to be offended, “How can you say such a thing?”

“It’s true!” Paisley insists.

“We’ll just see about that,” I grumble, reaching out and dragging Jane close.
