Chapter 4

"Mom, what's wrong?" Luna's innocent voice sounded as she reached out her tiny hand to me. "I wants Mommy to hold me."

My heart raced as I took a deep breath, bent down to pick up Luna, and kissed her cheek. "Mommy's fine, sweetie. Mommy just missed you so much."

"Your cheek looks a bit swollen. What happened earlier?" Gunner noticed my injury with keen attention.

I shook my head. "It's nothing. Just got bit by a couple of mad dogs."

"Who are you calling mad dogs?"

Kellan glared at Gunner and Luna, his face as dark as the bottom of a frying pan.

"Whoever answers is a mad dog."

I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"Daddy... this person... he looks like you..."

Donavan tugged on Kellan's clothes and suddenly spoke softly. His words were like pouring gasoline on a fire. Kellan immediately snapped, "Vivienne, who are these people?"

I blinked, looking at the beautiful tear mole under Kellan's eye, then glanced at Gunner who had an identical tear mole in the same spot.
