“I like her,” Blake said as she started up the car. “Correction. I love her. Did you see the way she kicked Shane’s ass out of her office? I might need to marry that Jorge dude.”

Blake looked over her shoulder, ready to back out of the space, but Nisa stopped her.

“Hold on a sec.” Blake put the car back in park, then turned to look at her sister. They were facing a concrete wall but Nisa stared as though she could see a thousand yards into the distance. “I think I need to talk to Willa.”

Blake looked flabbergasted. “Why?”

“Because getting an amnio is a good idea, but not if it could reveal something in the genetic or chromosomal testing.”

Blake was confused. “Isn’t that the point of an amnio?”

“Yes. But what if baby Lycans read as abnormal? What if they want to test the sample further?” She looked at Blake. “Willa is the only female Lycan I know. And she’s also a mother committed to family. I think she’ll be inclined to help me.”

“She’ll be inclined to control you. I saw that woman. Give her an inch, she’ll take ten miles. Six months from now the baby will be calling her ‘mama.’”

Nisa couldn’t help but smile. “Really? You think at only one month old she’ll already know how to speak?”

Blake shook her head genuinely frustrated. “You know what I mean.”

“Maybe she’ll be break dancing too. Doing tiny head spins.”

“Nisa, this is serious.”

“Well, no shit, Blake. Which is why, against every fiber in my being, I know I need to go see Willa.”

“Without Arlo?”

“I’ll tell him after. Right now I want to catch her off guard.”

“Is that even possible? She’s a razor blade in a Gucci jacket. Ready to cut at any moment.”

“You’re not lying. But I think she meant what she said this morning. That if she’d known about Shane—the whole truth—she’d have made a different offer.”

“The problem is,” Blake said, “she thinks she has the right to make offers at all. If you go to her, you’re telling her it’s okay to control you.”

“I’m willing to take that risk.”

“Nisa, it’s not a risk. It’s a guarantee. You’re opening the door for her.”

“That may be so, but what else can I do?”

“Talk to Arlo first.”

To Blake the answer was obvious. To Nisa, not so much. She pulled her sunglasses out of her purse and put them on. “If I talk to Arlo he’ll try to mediate between us. It was important that we face Willa together this morning but it’s also important that I be able to face her on my own. Now is her chance to prove herself. She’s either willing to help me, or she’s going to lose her grandniece and maybe even her nephew.”

“I don’t know, Nisa. This just doesn’t feel right.”

“Shane’s escalating,” Nisa stated.

“Yeah, he is.”

“I need information about navigating this pregnancy. But I also need to make sure Willa and Callum are on my side. Arlo and I . . . I don’t want us trying to fight a battle on two fronts.
