The sun was setting through the window, casting red and orange hues around the room. As much as I wanted to be by Kiara’s side, I was doing what I knew she’d like me to: be there for our pups ..” How are you feeling?” I asked, sitting on the sofa in the living room next to Dante, who was leaning back against the cushions, clearly exhausted.” I’m lovely, Dad.” He replied, despite the red pulsing veins that covered his body.” Yeah? Glad to hear you’re not a f*****g wuss, but you know it’s okay to f*****g say i f shit hurts.” I remarked lightly, reaching over and ruffling his hair.

I’m glad Kat’s back.” He added, frowning slightly as he looked at Skyla, who was setting up the dollhouse for when Kataleya returned from her bath. Scarlett was showering her. We had been back an hour or so. After the doctor checked her over and noted her injuries, she had fallen asleep and had only woken up a short while ago. I was still to look at those reports, knowing they wouldn’t be easy to see. I knew I was delaying it, trying to build the courage to face them. Skyla had been on edge, wanting to see her twin; from the moment we had entered, she had been beyond f*****g ecstatic. Currently, Elijah was here, as was their pup, Azura.

Speaking of, she turned to me, giving me a devilish smile.” Is everything okay, Daddy?”” 1” Yeah, sure is.” Scarlett entered with my little girl looking normal, not a bruise or a speck of dirt on her, but we all f*****g know the unseen effects remain.
this was an act of kindness towards her sister. Kataleya smiled as Azura jumped up.” Come on, Kat, let’s play.” She stated, confidently walking over to my pup and taking her hand.” Girls are so loud.” Dante added, shaking his head.

I walked over to her and sat down on the bed.” F**k, Amore Mio …” I ran my hand tenderly through her hair, making sure not to pull at it. Despite it being cleaned up, there were still traces of dry blood that remained, making her hair stick together. The sparks of the bond danced along my hand and arm.
she was the one who had found her, the reason our angel was back with us, and that she was capable …. but still. Pretty f*****g useless, that’s how I f*****g felt … I couldn’t even protect my family. On top of that, times had f*****g changed.

The good news is that there were so many signs of s****l abuse, and Doctor Jemimah confirmed that.” A wave of relief washed over me, but from the look on his face, I knew there was still more.” Pass me the file.” 1” Do you mind if I explain it to” Take a f*****g seat, and I don’t want or need shit sugar–coated.
the right hand had been broken. She had bruised her spine … Some had been partially healed …. it seemed she had used her arms to protect herself while being kicked repeatedly … There was a hairline fracture to her skull. It felt like someone was punching me repeatedly in the gut, cutting off my f*****g windpipe … I swallowed hard.” Leave.” Alpha, she will heal; her regeneration gene- “

My daughter had gone through this … all of this … The file felt heavy in my limp hold; no parent would ever want their child to be treated like this. Well, any f*****g sane one …

It won’t take away the pain she had experienced … I had turned my back on her that day; perhaps this wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t. Had I made a mistake? I dropped the file, placing my head in my hands. How do I fix this? Werewolf
