Chapter 18: Kisses and hugs...
Selene POV
An uncomfortable silence settled in the car as Maeve went back to sleep.
Xavier just held her in his arms. I could tell the sudden name tag shocked him and I hoped for my sake that she had done that with sleepy eyes, but this was the first time she was calling anyone dad.
Even Noah, who was the girls' buddy has had to settle for being called Uncle or Alpha Noah by the girls. The door of the car opened and Lucius slipped into the passenger seat.
"That was close," he wheezed, leaning his head on the chair and breaking the silence. "Is everyone alright?" he asked, turning to look at us in the back seat of the car.
"Y...Yes," I croaked. "Are you finished?"
"Yeah. We made sure the prisoners were unconscious. We will have them transferred to the holding cell in the Pack House. I already asked some of our foot soldiers to search the area for prints of other foxes. These people don't work alone,".
"How about my children's nanny and the security details attached to me?" I asked.
"They are currently on their way to the hospital. They'll be fine. The paramedics said their injury is nothing to worry about,".
"Thank you, Beta," I sighed. "And thank you too, Alpha, for all your help,".
"Great," Lucius nodded. "Can we go now? I'm sure you'd want to rest,".
