Chapter 9

Even after Megan's appointment with the psychiatrist, Sampson felt as if there was something going on with her that he couldn't quite place. He had forgiven her for lying, but her story just didn't add up. He needed help. He was getting so close to completing his mission that he couldn't take a break from his work.

Sampson invited Zander over for lunch to meet Megan and Jimmy. Zander was far better with people than Sampson — he was better at understanding people than almost anyone. If anybody could see what was behind Megan's façade, it was him. When Zander arrived that afternoon, Megan was making lunch in the kitchen. Macaroni and cheese and sausages with sliced tomatoes and iceberg lettuce salad.

Sampson went to open the door when the bell rang, and he found Zander standing on the other side with a gift bag in his hand.

"I brought gifts," he said, stepping into the house. The gift bag had a little stork with the blue bundle in its beak. "Since you didn't have a baby shower."

"That was very thoughtful of you," Sampson said, leading him into the kitchen.

Megan had the table set and was putting bowls of food at the center when he and Zander walked in.

"Megan," he said. “This is my friend Zander."

"It's good to meet you, Megan." He stepped forward to shake her hand. “I can only imagine what a challenge it was for Sampson to find out he had a baby to take care of. It's good that you were here to help him."

"Jimmy is a wonderful child," she said with a smile, patting the little boy on the head. Sampson squatted down and looked Jimmy in the eye.

"He is an intelligent-looking tyke, isn't he?" Zander asked, looking back up at Sampson.

"Maybe he'll take after his uncle," Sampson said.

His thoughts went to his sister. They used to play chess together as kids. Truth be told, she often beat him. It was a shock to him as much as everyone else when she had run off with the human. It was so unlike her to be so irrational. But she’d said she was in love.

Running off with someone who wasn't your fated mate was so unheard of in the shifter community that no one could understand it, and no one would support it. That had driven a wedge between her and the family. Sampson wished he had tried harder to at least show her that he still cared for her and that he was still her brother even if he didn't agree with her choices.

Little Jimmy was a full-blooded shifter, despite the fact that his mother had mated with a man who was a human and not her fated mate. The boy needed to understand who he was. And Sampson hoped he was up to the task.

Everyone sat down at the table and passed around the lunch. Megan was wonderful in the kitchen, and had made a homemade cheese sauce for the macaroni and gourmet sausages. It was all very tasty for such a simple recipe.
