Chapter 15 - Cole

I pour another drink, loosen my top shirt button, and lean against the quartz counter. I hate the quietness. The alcohol gives me a momentary rush before my shifter blood immediately clears it from my system, so I pour another. I know it's my choice to be here alone, but that doesn't make it any easier to swallow.

I hope to God Annie is having a nice time with her mom. I know it means the world to her. I had hoped Carmela would step up this time, but that doesn't seem likely. Annie is getting older now, and I know she's beginning to see that her mom doesn't behave the way other moms do.

I was dismayed when Carmela announced they were going to have a lovely evening with the two nannies she brought with her. What kind of parent needs two nannies to help look after one small child for the night? I was even more discouraged when she told Annie she'd teach her some spells before bed. I know that Annie is half-witch and has every right to learn about her heritage, but the thought of her learning spells so young makes me nervous. Especially if her mom is going to disappear for months at a time and not give her any real guidance.

I pull out my phone and set a reminder to speak to the local coven about starting classes with Annie. She's not showing any signs of shifter or magical ability yet, but she will. It's inevitable. Just as inevitable as the fact that her mom won't be there to help her.

I'm so used to being in control of every aspect of my life and business. Sitting here, wondering if Annie is having a good time, is driving me crazy. I'm not used to the feeling, and I definitely can't just sit with it.

Finishing my drink, I fire off a message to Carmela, asking how Annie has settled in at the apartment. I watch as the dots flash on my phone for a few minutes. Eventually, she replies with a photo of my beaming daughter making pizza with Katie, one of her nannies, and the caption, They’re having a great time.

I have no doubt Annie’s having a great time with Katie. They always do. But I release a heavy sigh, noting that Carmela doesn't see anything wrong with this scenario. Yes, I use nannies, too. But that's for work, not simply to hang out together in the evening. Yet, despite my annoyance over how Carmela chooses to spend her precious little time with Annie, I am at least reassured that my daughter is having fun.

I put my phone on the counter and pour another drink, trying to drown out the intense silence with some music. My phone beeps again. Assuming it's from Carmela, I'm surprised to see a video message from Jonah.

I press play, and a scene from Jonah's penthouse comes to life. I instantly recognize some of the faces as he pans the phone around the room.
