A few days later

“This is good.” Paris gulped up another piece of pancake, moaning in obvious delight. “This is really good.” After he swallowed, he extended his now-empty plate. “More please?”

Anson chuckled and placed another stack of pancakes there. “The master is served,” he said with exaggerated formality.

Reed laughed as he watched father and son interact. In the past couple of days, he’d gotten to know Paris a little better, and he liked what he saw. The young werewolf was quiet and polite, but had the same quiet power Anson possessed. He might never be an Alpha, but he was stronger than most people gave him credit for.

DNA testing had confirmed that Paris was, indeed, Anson’s child. The young man didn’t talk much about his previous years, and Reed understood that some things in Paris’s past must be painful. But he and Anson had discussed it and had decided to approach Elder Wade regarding the problem. Aria might be a liar, but she didn’t deserve to die, and if Alpha Marrow had tried to hurt her and her son, the werewolf needed to be punished.

Sadly, the Tyrell issue took precedence, as they couldn’t afford to have strife among their own ranks in already turbulent times. Through Daniel, Soren had told them that as a temporary measure, Aria and Paris would simply stay within Soren’s pack lands. No one was allowed here without Soren’s permission, and Alpha Marrow was unlikely to try anything.

Although Reed still had his doubts, he mostly allowed himself to relax and enjoy the new addition to their little family. Paris would never be his son, of course. They were almost the same age, with Paris just a few months younger. But they were becoming fast friends, and that friendship had quieted down Reed’s fears. Not only that, but Paris was also getting very close to Anson, something that made Reed very happy.

The truth was that, even at this age, Reed remained very close to his family. Usually, bird-shifters distanced themselves from their families upon reaching a certain age, but not so with Reed. He’d been very relieved when he could finally reveal the love he had for his mate to them. He simply couldn’t imagine what Paris had gone through, deprived of all that. It could have easily happened to Reed. His birth parents might have treated him the same way Alpha Marrow had in Paris’s case. But Reed had been lucky, and he wanted to share his good fortune with Paris.

All that aside, there were other factors that unfortunately intruded on their life, one of them being Aria. Her presence had fueled the rumors that Reed wasn’t truly Anson’s mate. She was stirring up trouble in the pack, and Reed worried about it since Paris’s presence here was bound to hers.

“So what about your mother?” he asked Paris, knowing it would break the comfortable mood, but needing the information. “Doesn’t she mind you coming here to have breakfast with us?”

Since the duo’s arrival, Reed and Anson had moved back to Anson’s small house.
