Nefretiri

"Hi, Renee," I sat across from the she-wolf who was enjoying a game of cards with Danny and Jill. It looked like they were playing Go Fish, but she acted like it was much more difficult. "How are you today, sweetie?"

"I'm fine, Luna," Her voice came out more childlike, and I inwardly paled. Trevor warned me she was having a regression day, but I'd hoped it hadn't gone that far back. Sadly, it looked like she was stuck in some of her childhood. That was actually when she was more emotionally stable because the pain of losing her mate wasn't present. Still, it would make this meeting harder for Brody. "We're just playing cards."

"That's really great, sweetheart," I hated talking to her like a child, but she wasn't the woman who would be thrilled to have her son back or find out she was a grandma-to-be. My relationship with her family was complicated, but she didn't deserve to end up like this. "Renee, would it be okay if I introduced you to someone?"
