Chapter 178

• Damien POV
• I roll my eyes at Lucas’s smug grin. It’s painfully obvious why he, Fabrice, and Maurice get along so well. I’m convinced the three of them have some unspoken agreement to wind me up at every opportunity.
• My wolf, having thoroughly rubbed his scent over Aurélie’s, is riding high now possessive, protective, restless. It’s the most I can give him for the moment. He growls constantly, demanding I mark her, but he’ll have to wait. This isn’t just about Aurélie and me. It never was. It’s about the children. And Fabrice.
