the door, but Rift placed his hand on his brother’s shoulder and pulled him back.
“No. I’m going to go knock on the front door. You are all going to stay here. That was the whole point of me coming with you. I’ll go talk to the owner of the toy. I’ll get you some answers.” Rift sucked in a deep breath and got out of the truck, forcing himself to stand on unsteady legs.
“He does not look good,” Flora whispered as Rift took a faltering step forward.
“Maybe we should go with him,” Caleb suggested, already inching toward the door.
“Or maybe we should just let Rift handle it,” Elise replied.
Caleb leaned back in his seat, but his hand rested on the door handle, ready to scramble out of Rift got into trouble.
“I feel like a child,” Aiden rumbled. “We should just go in there.”
“You’re too wound up about all this,” Flora told him. “Rift is calm and…” She stopped talking as Rift rested his hand on the short gate post that marked the boundary of the property. The post wobbled, in danger of falling over and Rift stumbled forward.
“Someone is coming out of the house.” A young child appeared. Dressed in jeans and a T-shirt with a ball tucked under his arm, he stared at Rift.
“Mom!” The child’s shrill voice was like a shot in the arm to Rift and he jerked his head up.
“Jack!” A woman shot out of the house, grabbed the boy by the shoulder, and pulled him back. Positioning herself between the child and Rift, she placed her feet hip-width apart, her chin jutted out defiantly. “I don’t know who you are, or what you want, but you’re too late.”
“Too late for what?” Caleb hissed.
“I’m looking for…” Rift put his hand in his pocket and pulled out the small toy. “I’m looking for the owner of this toy.”
“What?” the woman asked as if Rift was crazy. And he certainly looked crazy. Or drunk.
“Well, I’m not looking for…the owner. I’m looking for information the owner might be able to give me.” Rift ran his hand through his hair.
“I’d like you to leave. If Reggie owed you money, I’m sorry but you’re too late.”
“Reggie.” Rift paused for a moment. “I was looking for Murray.”
“I can save you some time there, too. My father died years ago.”
“She’s Murray’s kid. She’s the one the toy belongs to,” Aiden said.
“You know what she also is?” Caleb asked as he processed the news that the man who kidnapped them was gone.
“No!” Elise covered her mouth with her hand.
“Okay, what am I missing here?” Flora asked.
“Murray’s daughter is Rift’s mate.” Aiden gripped the steering wheel, the whites of his knuckles showing as his jaw tensed.
“I’m so sorry,” Flora stroked Aiden’s back.
“It’s okay,” Aiden replied. “Just because her father was a bad man, it doesn’t mean she’s like him.”
Caleb nodded in agreement. They might finally find out the truth about what happened all those years ago.
And Rift might also get the family he always wanted, Caleb’s bear said as another child emerged from the house and held hands with the woman who stood defiant and protective in the face of the man who would love her forever. No matter what.
Let’s just hope this doesn’t tear our family apart, Caleb said as he opened the door and got out of the truck. “Come on, I think our brother might need backup.”
Aiden nodded. “Yeah, before he makes a complete fool of himself.”
“Or she shoots him as an intruder,” Elise said. “Because she has ‘don’t mess with me or my family’ written all over her face.”
Rift rolled his shoulders and stood up straight. He was a man who needed to prove himself to his mate. But from her expression, that might be hard, if not impossible.
