Chapter 0370

Mako hands me his newborn son. It was customary in the pack for the Alpha to meet newborns and welcome them into the pack.

Swiping my thumb across his forehead with a tiny drop of my own blood, I officially welcome him as a member of Black Shadow. Mako beams at me, his blue eyes shining in delight.

"Sorry, I had to leave the gate." He murmurs. "I couldn't let my mate do this on her own. Though he was already here by the time I arrived.” His mate was allegedly still in the bedroom being checked over by one of the nurses that my sister helped train. Yet I couldn't scent her presence.

'We should go and check.' Aero declares.

'We will,' I tell him. 'We just need to choose the right time.'

"It's no problem." I tell Mako, handing his son back.

"Ryken is a good guy." Mako tells me. "I was so grateful he was passing by."

"Emerson wasn't happy though, was he?" Damien asks
