"Amy..." Toya followedinto the house, but Carly pulled her head up.
She pointed at the wall beside the door. "Daddy said your friends would need robes, so we have them up and
waiting for them." Her little voice was barely above a whisper as | kept walking. They would figure it out.
| headed directly upstairs. | wasn't exactly sure where | was going, but | knew | didn't want to deal with that man
right this second. Anyone really. But | was in charge of this little girl now, and she needed me. | hit the landing
and stared into each room. There were so many bedrooms up here. "What the hell.”
"Daddy said we would need the rooms until everything settled down. Your friends are going to be here with us
until you find your way." Until | find my way. My stomach clenched. Carl saw all of this. He knew exactly how he
was going to die and he prepared for it all, fully knowing it would never be long enough with his daughter.
"Which room is your bathroom?" | looked and found none in the hall.

"Daddy made bathrooms attached to my room and his...yours. The other bathroom is downstairs." Then, as if all
that was too much, she started crying again. Her new reality sinking in. | closed my eyes, holding her closer to
my
chest.
"Okay. It's going to be okay." | headed to her room, a bubblegum pink room with princess curtains. "Your room is
beautiful. Your daddy wanted to make sure you knew exactly how much he loved you." | looked around the room
and stopped when | saw a glass box stuffed full of letters. The one on top addressed to Carly, for your seventh
birthday. | felt my stomach sink. She was only six.
Her sobs gotmoving again. | kicked out the door and crouched down with her still in my arms. | turned the
bath on and made sure the temperature was perfect, then | waited for it to fill, adding bubbles to make it a little
more comforting.
"Con, baby girl. Tfor a bath." Her sobs continued as | pulled her from my chest. | kissed her head and
helped her into the tub. As soon as she hit the water, it turned pink, and I cursed. How had | not thought of that?
| pushed on. | grabbed a cup from the tub lip and | poured cups of warm bubbly water over her curls. Her blonde
hair and dried a dark rust color from the blood.
There was a knock on the door, and it swung open. Toya, freshly washed in a robe, stood in the door. "The girls
are all taking a shower downstairs. We found the robes she told us about."
| nodded as | poured more water into her hair. Then | grabbed the shampoo. | gave a tiny smile when the scent
hit me, strawberry, just like | loved to use.
We will go back to using it again once all of this is all said and done. Nix' spoke up for the first tsince |
pushed forward. | miss it.
Megan agreed, but she stayed back. Our pup needs you right now, Amy, not us, Her voice was soft, but her
words struck a chord.
Our pup. She was ours now. Her father had joined her mom and | was all she had left. And my wolves accepted
her instantly. Tears welled up in my eyes. Thank you. | sent back to them but they just shook their heads.
Foolish girl, she was meant to be ours. Can't you feel it? Nix ca bit closer, and Megan joined her. | felt them
reach out to Carly, and her sobs quieted a little.
"I can do this." Toya nodded towards her in the tub, but I shook my head.
"| think..." My words faded. "I know. We need this. All of us" | looked over my shoulder and Toya nodded.
"He's still outside." Her words were soft.

"And there he can stay." My words held a bite. | closed my eyes as | scrubbed the shampoo through Carly's hair.
"You gave a promise." Toya leaned against the door frame.
| let out a deep sigh. And | gave a nod. "She said | could be angry. And | am."
Toya nodded. "But..." She stared atwith knowing eyes.
"But when I'm less angry, | will listen. | gave my word." | looked at her again. "But that doesn't mean it is going
to be anytsoon." She snorted out a laugh.
"I'll send him away." | nodded once more than rinsed out the shampoo.
"Okay baby girl. We need to drain this yucky water and start fresh." | pulled the plug and watched as the rusty
water drained away.
She looked up atwith swollen eyes. "He's gone."
