Breed Me. Daddy Alpha – Chapter 301

For a moment, no one dared to move. My arm around Elliot tightened, and he snuggled closer, detecting the tension the air was now wrought with.

The envelope was still heavy as I retrieved the first item my fingers touched: a letter.

I calmed my raging heart, steeling myself against the nausea from the dread.
