Chapter 356
My wolf has been as excited about our son as I have. So, when Sophie goes to shower, I lay Huntington on a blanket on the floor, then I strip and shift, letting Shaw sniff his son. He lays down putting his paws on either side of Hunt’s body, nuzzling him and checking him over as if something might possibly be wrong that Hedda hadn’t noticed.
‘He’s my son, too. I’m just as responsible for his health and well–being as she is,‘ he says defensively, licking some of the milk from his cheeks. While our son’s scent is softly masculine, right after he’s nursed, he smells strongly of Sophie’s orchid scent, giving him a sweet, floral scent with a hint of my pine scent underneath.
In his sleep, my son moves, his hands coming up to Shaw’s face. As Shaw carefully lays his head on Hunt’s body, our son somehow manages to get his hands into Shaw’s fur, gripping onto it as if his life depends on it.
Shaw begins purring at him, but it doesn’t help. I’m pretty sure if Shaw lifted his face, Hunt would come with us.
‘Our son has a good grip,‘ Shaw says.
‘I did warn you,‘ I say, feeling the sting of our son’s tight grip on Shaw‘ s facial hair.
‘Better that he’s strong than weak. He’ll be the Alpha of this pack one day. He needs to be strong.‘”
Chapter 356
Even though Shaw can’t move his head, I feel the humid heat of the bathroom as Sophie opens the door, her scent swirling around us. A moment later. Heel her gentle hand on Shaw’s head.
“Are you stuck, Shaw?” she asks him.
‘I don’t mind,‘ he tells her in the mind link.
“You don’t, but what about Hunter?” she asks.
‘Our son has a death grip on Shaw’s face,‘ I tell her in the mind link.
‘You’re an Alpha, suck it up,‘ Shaw says purring even more loudly now that our mate’s scent is swirling around us.
A moment later, Sophie shifts and Hedda begins rubbing her body over Shaw before laying down beside him and sniffing our son.
‘You’re such a good father to our pup,‘ she purrs at him. He purrs back, unable to move without shifting Hunt. Hedda nuzzles closer to him. “When do you think you’ll give me another one?‘
“HEDDA! We just had this one!‘ Sophie exclaims in our shared mind link.
‘Yes, but look at him. He’s perfect. I want another one.‘
‘Hunter, help me out here,’ Sophie says.
‘Sorry, baby. What my Luna wants, my Luna gets,‘ I say, making Shaw purr even louder. The noise causes Hunt to jolt, his little fists tugging on Shaw’s face.
Chapter 356
Can we at least get you out for a fun before Hunter and Shaw give us another pup. Hedda?‘ Sophie asks her.
‘Yes, I miss running with my mate,‘ she says. Since she’s heavy with milk, she can shift, but running is still difficult for her. ‘Maybe a couple more weeks before you give me another pup.‘
‘As soon as you are able to run, my little mate, I’ll be doing more than just running with you,” Shaw says, making Hedda purr and rub herself against his body.
‘We can get Penny to watch Hunt while we slip away for an hour or se,‘ I say.
‘An hour?‘ Shaw asks, as if I’m insulting him. I probably did. If it were me, I’d need much more than an hour with Sophie.
‘Two?‘ I ask.
‘Better. And maybe our Beta will want more time with our pup. She may want to practice since she’ll be having her own pup in a few months,‘ Hedda says.
That was another celebration for our pack. On the night we introduced Huntington to the pack, Penny and Jaime announced their own pregnancy. Not surprisingly, Jaime is limiting Penny’s sparring now in warrior training.
I mind link Penny and ask if she can watch Hunt for a couple of hours. ‘Hedda and Shaw want some time together.‘
