Chapter Sixteen

Luc moved the few pieces of furniture out of Shade’s former office so they could set up a proper bedroom for Maeve. Rather he did the work while Nuala decided where she wanted everything. Now she stood in the middle of the room, thinking of what would be perfect baby decorations on the pale gray walls. The room was starting to feel like it had always been meant for a child’s room.

She grinned at her brother, saying, “It’s looking great, thanks to you. You’re going to be the best uncle in the world.”

“That’s the plan. But don’t count out Nik.”

She’d been waiting for Luc to bring up their brother. “You’ve spoken to him?”

“Afraid not. Pop said Nik wanted a few days off, but no one has a clue as to where Nik went off to.”

Which worried Nuala when she already had enough to worry about. The baby had been moving again, relieving the pressure under her rib cage. Her baby bump had dropped a few inches. Maeve would probably arrive in the next day or two. At least now Nuala was somewhat prepared for her physically. Emotionally was a whole other thing. A sharp pain caught her unawares but was gone before she knew it.

She put her mind on Nik. “What about your security team? Did they get anything on Haider?”

“Only that he hasn’t been shy in expressing his unhappiness about the way Pop runs things. And that he doesn’t feel his experience is appreciated. That we already knew. Look, Nik has always been able to take care of himself. I’m going to believe he still can. He may be laying low because he’s trying to solve the problem, whatever it is, and he doesn’t want you involved.”

“That isn’t up to him to decide!”

“Take it easy. He’s looking out for you like a big brother should. Let him.”

Nuala nodded for Luc’s sake, even while she knew she couldn’t just sit back and let Nik face whatever it was without trying to help. Truthfully, she had no idea of what she could do alone, which is why her thoughts zapped to Ethan, who’d promised—

“Are we good?” Luc asked, pulling her back to the here and now. “Everything set the way you want it in Maeve’s room?”

“For now we are.” She gave Luc a big hug. “Maeve and I thank you. And your mom.”

“She was happy to help.”

“Did she tell you how she wants to keep helping? Elizabeth offered to take care of Maeve when I go back to work. Did you have something to do with that, too?”

“No. Didn’t have a clue. I swear. But it sounds like a perfect solution.”

“At least your mom will know what to expect. More than I do.”

“You’re a quick learner.” He put an arm around her shoulders and squeezed. “I have faith in you, Nuala. Just take it one day at a time. Gotta go.” He kissed her forehead. “Night security guards start on shift in forty minutes.”

“You could always sift there,” she teased, knowing Luc preferred doing things the human way.
