Calista and I coo over baby Liamn, while Estella watches with the total love of a mother in her eyes. “I knew I loved him while he grew in my stomach, but the moment I held him? It’s like nothing I’ve ever felt before. In a moment, something inside me changed, and I never want to change it back. I’ve never been a jealous mate, never felt particularly possessive or protective of Leander. But with
