Chapter 926

Poppy took one look at Nicole’s face and decided against defending Cola. Instead, she quietly began picking up the things scattered across the house.

Even she had to admit he went too far this time.

Zeph knew what it was like to be in love, and he had some sympathy for Cola. “Wolves are pregnant for about two months. There can’t be many left out here in this weather, either. Besides, Cola’s smart. I don’t think he’s being fooled.”

“Are you sure about that?” Nicole demanded.

Apparently, the males in this family stuck together.

Zeph shifted under her stare and glanced at the wolf.

“Look at her. That white coat, without a single patch of another color. She’s beautiful, and she seems pretty proud. I doubt she’d settle for just any wolf.

“And Cola can do things even a trained military dog couldn’t. He’s hardly an ordinary dog.

“He’s never shown much interest in other dogs. It’s like none of them were good enough for him.

“I think they really like each other. That would explain how things moved so fast. Maybe they just found the right match.”

To Zeph, her willingness to come into a house full of humans said something. She must have trusted Cola enough to follow him. Even when he snarled at her, she backed down instead of fighting him.

They seemed devoted to each other, and she was clearly willing to let Cola take the lead. Zeph thought they deserved a chance.

Nicole, however, had two lifetimes of experience and wasn’t easily distracted by a flattering story.

“Wait. Is the beautiful, proud wolf supposed to be me? Are you trying to tell me how lucky I am to have such an impressive husband?” 1

Zeph choked on his water.

Trying to reason with her while she was angry was clearly a mistake. He decided to leave it alone.

Cola was her dog. Nobody loved him more than Nicole did,

Zeph joined Poppy in setting the furniture upright and putting their belongings back where they belonged.

Looking at the mess, he could hardly blame Nicole for wanting to give Cola a few swats. The dog managed to turn the whole house upside down.

At least the wind couldn’t blow straight through the container. If there were an opening on the other side, it might have carried off the furniture and everyone inside.

Nicole caught Cola by the ear, marched him over to the wolf, and took both animals into her storage

space.

Poppy finally let out a breath. “Zeph, is Cola really gonna be a dad?”

Zeph wasn’t sure himself. “Maybe.”

Poppy thought for a moment. “What about you and Nicole?”

“Things are too hard right now. We’re not planning on having kids. Maybe that’ll change someday, but it depends on what life is like then.”

He looked at her seriously.

“Having a baby can be dangerous, especially now. If something went wrong during delivery, Nicole could die. So don’t keep asking her about it, alright?”

Poppy covered her mouth. “I don’t want anything to happen to either of you.”

“We’re alright,” Zeph assured her. “What matters is making a good life for ourselves and enjoying the time we have. Having kids isn’t everything.”

“Then what is?” she asked, looking confused.
