Duskmoon Hollow
Ziva had a smile on her face as she stirred from sleep. With her eyes still closed, she reached for her father, only for her hand to meet empty sheets. Her lashes fluttered open, and the dreamy softness on her face hardened into a frown.
She wanted more time with him, but apparently, the man had other plans. She didn't need to guess where he was; the low murmur of voices from the living room told her enough.
Ziva rose from bed and wrapped a robe loosely around her body. She wouldn't have minded walking out naked—let the whole world see she belonged to the Supreme Alpha—but her father hated when she distracted him during business. So she settled for this.
When she stepped into the room, Jericho, her father's Beta, was the first to notice her. His expression soured immediately. The man never hid his distaste for her, and if not for his usefulness to Angus, she would've rid herself of him long ago.
