Mercedes' POV “You aren't up yet?” I stared at Penelope who was still wrapped in her blanket Ike a little burrito.“Penelope is sick,” Carter announced and my eyes bulged.I made my way towards the little girl and placed my hand against her head. She was burning up.“Why didn't you come get me?” I asked Carter but he remained silent. I walked out of the room, made my way to the kitchen where I retrieved a bowl of water and a cloth before I made my way back to the children's room.“Penelope,” I called out to the girl softly but she only moaned in pain.I placed the wet cloth against her forehead and used another cloth to wipe her sweaty body.“Is she going to be alright?” Carter asked from beside me and I gave him a small hug. I could see he was worried about his sister but was trying to put up a brave front.“Yes, she will be because she has us taking care of her alright?” I assured him.We stayed with Penelope for a while and I began to grow worried when the fever showed no sign of

Bradley's POV My wolf growled within me as I paced in my office. I had let my emotions bet the best of me and in doh g so I had hurt Mercedes.I ran a hand along my face as I wondered how I would possibly apologize to her.What was it about her that infuriated me so much?“Brad?” A voice startled me and I turned to stare at Ethan.“Have you been here all night?” He quirked a brow at me and I looked outside to realize the sun was coming up.I had spent the whole night thinking about Mercedes?“I had a lot of work to do,” I lied through my teeth and Ethan didn't look as though he believed me.“Does said work have anything to do with the bruise I saw Mercedes sporting on her wrist last night?” He probed and my heart dropped.“What are you talking about?” I gritted out.“You hurt her,” he announced and my wolf snapped within me in agreement with him.“It was not my intention,” I retorted.“But that doesn't change the fact that you did.” Ethan frowned at me.“She's a human for heaven sake

Mercedes' POV  “I thought I would never get better,” Penelope told me as I gave her a spoon of chicken soup and she eagerly opened her mouth. “Of course you were going to get better.” I replied as I handed her the bowl and watched as she struggled to feed herself.“Miss Mercedes took care of you. Daddy says that's why you got better,”” Carter announced from beside me and my heart warmed.“That was what your daddy told you?” I asked and Carter nodded.I bit my bottom lip as I tried to stifle the smile which was forming on my lips.“Thank you Miss Mercedes,” Penelope beamed up at me and I caressed her hair.“Your welcome darling,” I replied as I retrieved Penelope's drugs from the drawer with a sly smile on my face.“But that won't stop you from finishing your medication,” I told her with a pointed look and s

Mercedes' POV My heart warmed as I rose from my bed and got into the shower. Excitement bubbled within me as I got dressed and for some reason, I wanted to look my absolute best today and even though I tried to deny it to myself, I knew it had everything to do with Bradley.I pressed a palm against my stomach as butterflies erupted within me at the mere thought of Bradley.Finally we had found common ground. More than anything, I was extremely positive there was something more blooming between us and I knew Mr. Ford could feel it as well.I stared at myself with a satisfied grin as I looked well put together. My grin was almost immediately replaced with a frown as I wondered if I was trying too hard.What if Bradley was merely being nice to me because of the children and I was going overboard?As the thoughts plagued my mind, I recalled how Bradley had stared at me a few nights ago when he had me pinned against my bed and also yesterday when he joined the children and I to bake.I tr

Bradley's POV I dodged a kick to my side and landed a blow on Benjamin's abdomen. He stumbled backwards as he tried to regain his stance but I didn't let him recover as I went on the offensive and delivered blow after blow which he struggled to block.I channeled all my pent up anger and frustrations into my attack as I tried to rid myself of the face that had haunted my thoughts for the last few weeks.Why couldn't I stop thinking about Mercedes? Thoughts of her filled my mind before I went to bed and she was the first thing I could think of when I woke up.After the disastrous dinner, I was doing everything I could to keep my distance from her when all my wolf wanted to do was run to her.The look of hurt on her face still plagued my mind and no matter how much I wanted to apologize and fix everything, I knew it was better this way.“Time out,” Benjamin snapped me out of my thoughts as he pushed me away and I focused my eyes on him.“What's wrong?” I questioned as he took off his g
