Ditched Cheating Alpha, I Led My Daughter to Life's Peak novel Chapter 211

"We could adopt?" he offers. "When the time comes of course."

I shake my head. "I don't know. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with adoption, but like I said, I don't want any in the first place... Maybe we could get an intern?" I look at him.

He stares at me incredulously, but he looks amused all the same. "An intern?"

"Yeah." I nod. "Like an apprentice or something."

He can't stop grinning. "So we'll appoint our interning apprentice as the next alpha?"

"Well." I smile. "I was gonna say apprenticing intern but-" I look up.

We're currently walking down a wooded path to the car. Onai and Ethel are up ahead. Axel and I fell behind a while ago. I hear shuffling in the bushes. Slowly the distance between our group diminishes.

Then the whining starts. Growls from the woods like before.

Onai waves them off. "Go."

It silences them, for a moment. Then their whining starts again. I smile. The wolves are back.

Onai sighs, waving again. "Go, I said."

Two wolves dart out of the bushes, rubbing against his legs. I wait for the third one, but it never comes.

My heart stops. "Onai."

He looks at me.

I look around. "Where's the third one?"

He looks at the two at his feet, then at me, seeming to just make sense of what I'm asking. "He's fine. He's by the car."

The wolves notice my presence then and come hurtling towards me. It's not as scary as the first time.

I prepare for them to rub against my legs, but Axel gets in the way. He growls. Not like a warning growl. Like a 'take one step closer and I'll kill you' growl. Even I flinch. The poor things run back to Onai with their tails between their legs.
