Cyrus nods, and I smile.

“So, you’re happy with Eason Michael Colten?” Eli says.

I stare at him. “You added my father’s name?”

“We can change it?”

I shake my head. “No, I like it. A bit of a mouthful, but he doesn’t have to use his entire name.”

“Well, come on, let’s make it official, then,” Eli says, hopping out.

He hands me a towel, and I follow him into the room. Cyrus goes into the closet before coming out with two suits and a black dress and placing them on the bed.

“You went shopping,” I tell him.

“No, Latham grabbed a few things for us while we were on our way here. Got the bassinet and some clothes for Eason, too,” Cyrus says.

“Exactly how close are you to Latham?” I ask, pulling the dress on.

“Oh, we go way back,” comes Latham’s voice behind me as he dips up my dress, making me jump.

“Latham!” Eli says.

“How did you…” I hadn’t seen him come in.

“Magic,” he whispers before his eyes go to Eli, who only has black slacks pulled on.

“Stop eye-fucking my mate,” I tell him.

“I’ve done more than eye-fuck him,” he says with a smirk on his lips.

I squint at him, and he chuckles, walking over to the bassinet and picking up my son.

“Now, come here to Uncle Latham, little Eason. Love the name by the way,” Latham says

Cyrus rolls his eyes. “We said, stay clear, Latham. Not watch us shower.”

“Yeah, I was hoping for you to get a hot fuck on there. Was slightly disappointed, though. Addie, you look marvelous, all wet.”

Eli growls at him.

“Come on, little man, let’s go meet the council,” Latham says.

I reach out for my son, wanting to take him, but Latham turns and walks off with him.

“He won’t hurt him. He loves kids like that. Their souls aren’t tainted yet,” Eli says.

I slip the heels Cyrus has brought out with the dress. It’s the girliest I’ve felt in ages, though I now miss my round belly.

Latham is waiting next to the elevator. When we approach, he presses the button, letting the doors open, and we step inside. He then opens a panel above the button with a key before punching in a code. The buttons light up as we travel down, but then the buttons stop lighting up, yet the elevator continues to go down a bit before stopping. The doors open, and I’m surprised to see it’s some underground office facility.

“Above ground is apartments. This down here is the supernatural council,” Cyrus explains, as I follow him over to a desk. There’s a small foyer with chairs and two long corridors.

Cyrus and Eli both scan their hands on a digital panel before Latham shows us down one of the corridors which are long with red carpet and dark walls. The doors are off to one side, and I peek in through one to find that they look like courtrooms. We reach the end of the corridor and turn down another. At the end of it, we come to a huge room full of computers that reminds me of the tech floor back at work, with heaps of people moving around with different devices. There are a few labs on the side, and huge TV screens hang from the roof, with different camera angles of the city.

“This way,” Latham says, nodding toward a door.

He pushes it open with his hip, and I find another foyer area. A woman is sitting at the desk and waves to Latham as he walks us past her to an office.
