It was a difficult day for everyone, even for Nate.
Scarlet's visit helped his mood a little, even if she didn't bring good news with her. Somehow, just talking with the little girl made him feel better.
Especially when she called him daddy before following Roxy back to the kindergarten.
It was as fake as her sweet smile, but it worked on him. It must have been the Black Moon that made him like that.
He collected his things and went to the sales department. Samantha and Lara were supposed to work longer that day.
No clients were allowed in the company during the days of Black Moon. Nor during the Bright Moon, at that. Wolves weren't stable enough to handle dealing with humans.
Dealing with wolves wasn't too dangerous during the Black Moon, so he didn't worry about Lara. During the Bright Moon, though, he needed to find a way to make her stay home.
He had two weeks to find a solution, though.
«Hello,» he said after knocking. «Are you two done for today?»
