Chapter 11

Greyson

Grey continued watching Etti after she put Izzi down for the night. Her parents left hours ago and he was still waiting for the other shoe to drop. The moment he saw Mohe and Ama at the door, Grey was ready to fight. But the feud he’d been expecting never came. Instead it seemed Izzi had somehow repaired a lifetime of damage between Etti and her mother. Perhaps their baby truly was a miracle.

He knew it was foolish to hope all was forgiven, but it was a much needed step in the right direction.

The rest of the night had been uneventful. Once Etti’s parents left, Grey made sure his family had everything they needed to settle in for the night. Grey’s mother and cousin were sleeping on a futon in the nursery and Ethan the couch.

Grey returned to his bedroom to find Izzi nestled safely in their bed. Etti gave Grey a kiss and slipped into bed next to their daughter. Grey carefully climbed under the covers too, kissing the top of Izzi’s head. Her little eyelids were already fluttering with sweet dreams.

“So,” Grey whispered. “Are you gonna talk about what happened tonight or do I have to pull it out of you?”

Etti smiled still looking at Izzi. “You saw what happened. Our little girl charmed the pants right off her big bad grandma.” Etti turned her gaze to Grey. “You heard her. She gave us what we need to find Esme.”

“And you believe her?”

Etti nodded. “I felt it. She was telling the truth. She truly wants to help her granddaughter.”

“And the words she was chanting?” Grey asked.

“An old Cherokee blessing for a child. It begs protection of the elders.” Etti’s eyes looked far away. “She gave us what we needed before. I just wasn’t listening.”

“What do you mean?”

“At the farm, when we asked for help. My mother said blood calls to blood before she stormed out. I thought she was just being herself and spouting anti-shifter nonsense. But . . .”

“But what?” Grey pressed.

“It just makes me wonder how many times I’ve misunderstood her?”

Grey watched a dull sorrow flicker under Etti’s thick lashes. “Babe, you can’t change the past or fix everything all at once with your mother. All you can do is make progress like you did today.”

“You’re right,” Etti said, light returning to her gaze.

She reached a hand over to brush some of Grey’s hair out of his face. It’d grown shaggy. He was way overdue for a haircut, but he loved it when Etti ran her fingers through his hair like she was now. He leaned into her touch.

“So when do you want to leave for New Orleans?” Etti asked.

“Whenever you think we’re ready,” he replied nodding to Izzi.

“We’re ready.”

“Then how about this weekend?”

“Perfect.”

Grey leaned across his daughter and kissed Etti. “I love you,” he whispered onto her lips.

“I love you too.”

Grey’s wolf was already pressing at his skin, wanting more of his mate. “Maybe we can splurge for a nice room and make it a bit of a second honeymoon.
