"And Sarah?" she asked after a pause.
"As soon as she's well rested," Kade said, jaw tight, "she'll be banished from every and all territory under Alpha Lucas's control."
Ava's lips pressed into a thin line. "Will you tell her where the child will be?"
Kade looked at her, his gaze cold and resolute. He shook his head slowly. "No. She doesn't get to know."
"Good," Ava replied without missing a beat, nodding in approval. "She made her bed, now she can wander around without sheets."
"And have you decided what to name this lovely cutie?" Ava asked. She stroked a finger over the baby's curled fist, smiling as the tiny hand instinctively closed around it.
"Adelita," Kade replied after a pause.
Ava's lips curled in delight. "Adelita. That's beautiful."
