Last Female Sypher and Her Brother's Friends novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222

Aria

“Care to explain yourself?” I say, tapping my foot when Ronan and Kade walk into our house.

He better if he knows what’s good for him, my wolf warns.

Liam gives a little salute from the driveway as he jogs to his own den, probably anxious to check on Hazel and the pups.

“I would help you out,” Barric says from behind me, “but I’m with Aria on this one.”

“How are you feeling, sweetheart?” Kade cajoles, placing a kiss on my lips before bending to put on my recently protruding belly.

As if we’d be swayed by sweet words. My wolf takes a swipe at him.

“Don’t sweetheart me,” I call after him as he slips past me and Kade takes his place..

Barric follows him into the kitchen.

Kade pulls me into a slow, firm kiss that sends my already overactive hormones into a frenzy. Cupping my nape, he pulls me closer,

licking into my mouth and filling my nose with his raw masculine scent.

Even my wolf’s ire starts to wane.

My thoughts begin to slip away just when a small voice says, “Papa, your back!”

I step back just in time for Lowden to launch himself into Ronan’s arms.

Ronan catches his small body with ease and shoots me a smile over Low’s shoulder.

I give him a look that tells him just how displeased with that attempt to distract me I am.

“Did you have fun going out with Pabbi?” Low asks, his wide Hazel eyes intense on Ronan.

Calling all of his dads ‘dad’ got a bit confusing at times so Lowden eventually gave them all nicknames.

Ronan is Papa.

Kade is Pabbi.

Barric is Pai.

And Theo is Poppy.

“Of course I did, pup,” he nuzzles him affectionately.

“Saved by the pup,” Theo exclaims, walking into the living room from the kitchen with a cup of tea in his hands.

I scrunch my face because I know what’s next.

“Don’t give me that face. Kiara’s orders.” Theo tips his chin towards the seat, and I go to take it to avoid being ganged up on by mates.

I know people always say every pregnancy is different, but I never expected to be so nauseous I’d spend the first trimester grateful I can

hold down oxygen.

Once I’m comfortable, Theo hands me the cup of tea, taking a seat across from me to make sure I drink it.

Drill Sargent.

Kade comes out of the kitchen with Barric on his heels, and I can tell they’ve been discussing something.

Before I can speak, Barric says, “Later tonight. I promise.”

Irritated, I look at all my mates, then at Low.

Some of my bluster deflates at the sight of my son.

“Fine. But don’t think anyone is getting off easy, I warn.

“We wouldn’t dare,” Ronan smiles.

Low bounces around between his father’s legs, climbing on them and using small bursts of wind to make his paper birds fly around the

living room.

“So anything interesting happened while we were gone?” Ronan asks.

The question is casual, but the tension in the bond lets me know it is anything but.

“No. Me and the girls went to visit Hazel earlier. The quints are so cute.”

“How is she doing?” Kade asks.

“Tired, but good. The pack has all been taking turns bringing dinner and asking to hold them. Everyone is really excited about the

multiple births.”

Theo nods. “It’s rare for shifters to have more than one pup at a time. The fact that Liam managed to double his first sired litter is

impressive.”

“Or if you ask the elders, a sign from the Goddess,” Barric says with only a hint of disbelief.
