Sasha was unusually quiet as we drove back to the mansion. I reached across the seat and took her hand in mine.
“What’s on your mind, my love?”
Sasha sighed. “I know you don’t want to confront the Lycaon Church, but right now, they’re our only lead to Morianne and our baby.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to. I just don’t trust them.” I glanced toward Sasha. She looked so down and upset. I wanted to do something to make her feel better.
“Of course, you don’t trust them. I don’t either. But we’re running out of options.” Her voice hitched ever so slightly.
“Sasha, we haven’t run out of options. I don’t want to run headlong into anything with the church because we think it is our only choice.”
Sasha scoffed. “Do you even want to get our child back!?”
I slammed the brakes on, the car screeching to a halt. Sasha gasped and stared at me, wide-eyed. I narrowed my eyes slightly at her.
“How can you even ask me that? Everything I have done has been about protecting you and our child.”
