I Ran From My Psycho Step-brother Straight Into The Alpha's Lap novel Chapter 87

**Chapter 87**

Sophie found herself leaning against Torin’s solid frame, the warmth of his body providing a sense of comfort that she had come to cherish. “I wish I could do more,” she confessed, her voice tinged with a hint of frustration. “I wish I could actually find mates for these guys. I feel like my little glimpses aren’t going to be enough.”

Torin, ever the pillar of confidence, reassured her, “They will, Sophie. I have no doubt about it. When the time is right, those fleeting glimpses will come together to create a beautiful, complete picture. I’m convinced of it. You possess a gift, a blessing from our Creator, to help us find our mates. Just trust the process.”

Sophie pondered his words, feeling a flicker of hope ignite within her. “I hope so,” she murmured, turning in his arms to meet his gaze. Torin looked down at her, his expression steady and reassuring. “I’m not sure; it was just a glimpse, but…” She hesitated, stealing a glance over her shoulder at Max, who was busy with his own thoughts. “I don’t think she was a wolf,” she whispered, her voice barely above a breath, knowing that Torin would hear her, but wanting to keep the conversation private.

Torin’s reaction was calm, devoid of any surprise. “You’re not surprised,” she stated, more as an observation than a question.

He met her gaze, his eyes filled with understanding. “After everything with you, nothing surprises me anymore. I don’t have all the answers, and perhaps I never will. But we’ll tackle each day as it comes.”

Sophie felt a mix of relief and concern. “So, you think it’s a good thing if Max’s mate isn’t a wolf?”

Torin raised an eyebrow, his tone light yet serious. “If she’s his mate, how could that possibly be anything but good?”

“But what about…” The question hung in the air, heavy with implications. She struggled to voice her thoughts, the weight of them pressing down on her.

“What?” Torin prompted gently, sensing her hesitation.

“Well, if she’s human, will they ever be able to have a baby or a pup or whatever?” The uncertainty in her voice betrayed her worries.

Torin’s expression softened, a hint of tenderness in his eyes. “Are you asking for them or for us?”

Sophie quickly replied, “I’m just wondering.”

“Do you think you would be the mate finder and my fated mate if we couldn’t have kids? I believe we’re going to be just fine,” he said with a confidence that made her heart swell.

Curiosity flickered within her. “Do your females have babies in wolf form or human form?”

“How about we take this conversation somewhere private?” he suggested, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper.

“That’s probably a good idea,” she agreed, her heart racing at the thought of their conversation shifting to a more intimate setting. “Do you want me to pack some soup? Are you hungry?”

Torin shook his head, a smile playing on his lips. “No, we can grab something later if we need it. Just go grab some shoes and a coat. I’ll wait for you,” he instructed, leaning down to plant a quick, tender kiss on her lips that sent a thrill through her.
