Chapter Eleven

A tiny poking finger woke Mia. The small, chubby digit tapped her shoulder, drawing her from sleep. Which was something she hadn’t had much of after leaving Ty last night. The Abrams brothers supported her as their Itana, choosing to serve and protect her instead of stepping into the middle of things and making the disagreement between her and Ty worse. They chose a side. Done.

Unfortunately, even if she believed she was in the right, she wasn’t able to sleep without Ty beside her. In a few short days, she’d become accustomed to his presence, to his scent and the way he wrapped around her as they slept. He protected her even when they crawled into bed, making sure he lay between her and the door.

There was only one body in the bed now. Well, one body and one little boy who apparently wanted her out of bed.

“Mia.” Poke poke. “Are you awake?” Poke. “Mia, you hafta see.”

On the next prod from Parker, she snatched at the little boy and pulled him atop her, tickling and growling at the small cub. Giggles and laughs filled the room with a few high-pitched squeals for good measure. Heavy, thumping stomps announced a near stampede and then the tiny bedroom was filled with Isaac, Van, and two other clan members.

“What’s going on?” Isaac’s voice boomed in the small room, and she noticed their eyes were black as night.

“Sorry,” she gulped. “Parker and I were kidding around and got a little out of hand. We’re sorry, right Parker?”

Wide-eyed, he nodded. “Sorry.”

As one, their shoulders slumped and they exhaled, those black eyes fading back to their natural colors.

Van came forward and ruffled Parker’s hair. “It’s okay, little cub. We just want to make sure you and the Itana are safe.” He turned his attention to Mia. “Gigi’s here and said breakfast is ready.”

They filed out, leaving her and one grinning little boy behind. “Come on, you little rat, let’s go eat.”

Parker scrambled from her, kneeing her in the process, and then raced from the room. She knew the moment he hit Van’s kitchen because his high-pitched, joyful voice filled the house.

With a sigh, Mia rolled from the bed and snatched a hair tie from the dresser. In less than a second her hair was secure in a lopsided pony tail. She glanced down at her body and shrugged. She was scraggly looking but covered. She’d borrowed a set of brand-new pajamas from Van, teasing him about why they weren’t worn when he handed them over. He’d blushed, mumbled something about “nekkid” and then rushed off. It pleased her to no end that she was able to make the big bear squirm.

Chuckling, she shuffled from the small guestroom and headed toward the rising voices in the center of the house. She easily recognized Isaac, Van, and a few guards’ tenors tumbling over Parker’s. Keen’s was noticeably missing, but last night the man said he was chasing a lead.

Before long, she emerged into controlled chaos, Gigi barked orders while the massive men rushed to do as she asked.
