Chapter 147\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bella\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kael\u2019s cries grew louder, piercing the quiet of the hallway. Gods, the boy was really something. I knew that he was going to demand attention, not because he was going to be strong, but he would be pretty imposing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scott sighed and moved toward Kael the moment his crying grew louder. His hands were sure and gentle as he lifted him from where he lay, cradling him close to his chest. Kael\u2019s cries softened almost immediately, as if he recognized the familiar strength holding him. I couldn\u2019t help wondering about this bond between him and Scott. It was surreal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scott walked back to me and lowered himself beside the bed so I could see our son clearly again. \u201cAlright,\u201d Scott said softly, glancing at Ryan and Emma, who were still standing near the bed, eyes fixed on Kael. \u201cIt\u2019s time for you two to go home now. Your brother needs to eat food.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emma\u2019s face fell instantly. \u201cBut we just came,\u201d she protested, her lower lip jutting out. \u201cPlus why don\u2019t you get him ice\u00a0<\/p>\n
cream.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ryan crossed his arms stubbornly. \u201cWe want to stay with the baby,\u201d he declared, clearly unhappy with the idea of leaving. \u201cI want to see that he is eating properly. I don\u2019t want you to starve our new brother!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cindy chuckled quietly behind them. \u201cCome on, kids!\u201d she said. \u201cYour parents will give him food.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGive him food now!\u201d Emma demanded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scott smiled patiently, but his voice stayed firm. \u201cYou\u2019ll see him again tomorrow. I\u2019ll bring Kael home, and then you can spend all the time you want with him. Right now, you have to leave. Kael is shy of eating in front of you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That seemed to ease them a little, though neither looked pleased. Emma sighed dramatically, and Ryan shot one last long look at Kael as if memorizing his face. Cindy stepped forward gently, placing her hands on their shoulders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on,\u201d she said kindly. \u201cLet\u2019s let Mommy and Daddy do the rest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The children followed her slowly, still pouting, and Ryan turned back at the door. \u201cYou promise?\u201d he asked Scott. \u201cTomorrow?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI promise,\u201d Scott replied without hesitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once they were gone and the room settled again, I adjusted myself more comfortably against the pillows. Scott brought Kael closer, and I took him into my arms. I opened my gown\u2019s button, took my breast out and brought the nipple closer to his mouth. He latched on quickly this time, his small body relaxing as he began to feed. I couldn\u2019t help chuckling softly as I remembered Ryan and Emma\u2019s exaggerated disappointment. Even now, they were already learning how to share, even if they didn\u2019t like it much.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Kael suckled, I brushed my fingers gently through his dark hair. It was impossibly soft, and the simple act of touching him made my chest feel full in a way I had never known before. I\u00a0<\/p>\n
9ked up at Scott, who was watching us quietly, his expression thoughtful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGosh, those breasts,\u201d Scott said, staring at my breasts. \u201cI would love to taste them now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I rolled my eyes, but when my eyes landed on his trousers, there was a huge bulge already there. I shook my head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhaat?\u201d Scott rasped. \u201cA man can only wish!\u201d He sat near me and cupped my other breast. \u201cSo fucking heavy!\u201d He licked his lips. \u201cI love it.\u201d He lowered his mouth to my nipple and licked it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I swatted his arm. \u201cStop it. Not now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He chuckled. \u201cSo that means I can do it later?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
10:50 Tue, Jan 20 \u2117 \u266a G\u00b7\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 147\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2013blushed, and turned my face toward my son. Scott sat near me, still watching with keen interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cScott,\u201d I said after a few moments, unable to keep the worry out of my voice, \u201cwill Kael be stronger than Ryan?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scott nodded slowly, \u201cYes,\u201d he said honestly. \u201cHe will be.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
69\u00a0<\/p>\n
I inhaled deeply, bracing myself as he continued. \u201cKael was born after I marked you. He isn\u2019t only the child of Lycan and his mate, my venom is in his blood too. That makes him stronger, more attuned to his Lycan nature.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His words settled heavily in my mind. I kept stroking Kael\u2019s hair, my thoughts drifting in directions I hadn\u2019t meant them to. The idea of strength had always carried a double edge in our world. Power could protect, but it could also divide.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I swallowed and asked the question that had been forming quietly inside me. \u201cThen who will be the real heir?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scott didn\u2019t hesitate. \u201cRyan,\u201d he replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My eyes filled with tears before I could stop them. I looked at him, my heart swelling with emotion that was almost overwhelming. Scott leaned down and kissed me gently, his hand brushing my cheek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter how many pups we have,\u201d he said softly. \u201cRyan is my firstborn. He will always be my kingdom\u2019s heir.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing those words lifted something deep inside me, something I hadn\u2019t realized I was holding onto so tightly. I nodded, unable to speak for a moment, and focused again on Kael as he finished feeding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he was done, Scott took him carefully and placed him back in his cradle. Kael stirred slightly, then settled, drifting into sleep. I watched him for a long moment before lying back against the bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scott returned to me and slipped in beside me once more. I sighed quietly and pressed my face against his chest, feeling his steady heartbeat beneath my cheek. The exhaustion that had been waiting patiently finally settled over me again, but my mind remained awake.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My thoughts wandered, and Julie came to mind. I had noticed the tension in her earlier, the way she had spoken about Troy without really speaking at all. I shifted slightly and looked up at Scott.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou should pressure Troy to marry Julie,\u201d I said. \u201cMaybe order him as the King to marry Julie.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scott stiffened a little. \u201cHe won\u2019t like that,\u201d he replied. \u201cTroy is stubborn. He\u2019s still grieving.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know,\u201d I said. \u201cBut sometimes when two people are brought together, sparks fly. Troy and Julie were once mates. Who knows what could happen if he lets her back into his life?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scott fell quiet, considering my words. The room stayed still around us, filled only with the soft sounds of the hospital and Kael\u2019s steady breathing. After a long moment, Scott spoke again. \u201cI have to take Kael to the Silver Mane pack soon,\u201d he said. \u201cI need to present him to them. When I do that\u2026 I\u2019ll give the order.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWonderful!\u201d I closed my eyes, resting more fully against him. \u201cI can\u2019t wait.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
