\u201cIt\u2019s alright. You don\u2019t have to tell us everything, but we could\u2019ve helped you, sweetheart.\u201d Thanks to the Other World gateways Dad was there in less than half an hour. It gave me just enough time to get home and put tea and coffee on. Dad walked in the back door into the kitchen while I was eating a leftover piece of pecan pie over the sink. \u201cAt least it has some protein,\u201d he chuckled before waiting for me to finish so that he could pull me into a tight hug.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t tell them yet. They were planning to catch a movie afterward and\u2026\u201d \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you go with them?\u201d I asked. \u201cBecause I\u2019m technically on call. Don\u2019t worry. I passed it on to someone else but, kiddo, you don\u2019t have to worry about us. Sometimes we do just two people dates or someone has to work. Your carrier has been stir crazy because your sire won\u2019t let him out of his sight. I figured getting out of the house for awhile is exactly what he needed.<\/p>\n

Well, now that he\u2019s forgotten again about how that asshat broke your heart. Really wish you\u2019d have told us about Vallis. If you had he\u2019d stop dreaming of\u2026. Well, never mind. That\u2019s his business, but this is a good thing.\u201d \u201cHow can you say that?\u201d I asked, sinking into a chair at the kitchen table. \u201cBecause if he hadn\u2019t found you, he\u2019d have died.\u201d Dad was never one to mince words.<\/p>\n

I always said that if I had an injury that was going to do me in that I hoped he was around because he\u2019d be upfront with me even if he was kind about it. \u201cHe still might die,\u201d I sighed. \u201cNah,\u201d he shook his head and sat his black leather medical bag on the table.<\/p>\n

Over the decades he\u2019d added patches and buttons until it looked like a bizarre pattern of every color imaginable more than a black leather bag. \u201cHe\u2019s family now. So he\u2019s not allowed to die. Have you been getting enough to eat with all the stress?\u201d \u201cI have to feed him every time he shows up and it\u2019s the holiday season. I swear I\u2019ve gained weight.\u201d \u201cGood,\u201d Dad said and glanced at the coffee part.<\/p>\n

\u201cCaffeine in moderation is fine. I\u2019d go down the whole list of what to avoid but you grew up hearing it and now probably isn\u2019t the time.\u201d \u201cIs it ever the time?\u201d I laughed. \u201cHow are you feeling? Morning sickness?\u201d \u201cJust once. Today. Well, twice today. Once before the pixelated baby test and once after it,\u201d I admitted. He produced the familiar bottle of orange-flavored morning sickness gummies from his bag and then pulled out another.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeave one on your nightstand. It might save you some days,\u201d he said, finally sitting down at the table with me.<\/p>\n

1kitap1.com\/en CHAPTER ONE Lero The Nightshade Bear Territory They say every omega dreams of meeting their alpha. I wasn\u2019t so sure about that. I\u2019d known plenty of alphas in my life and would be just fine with never having one in my bed again. Who needed them when my fist slid over my own cock perfectly and I didn\u2019t even have to suck a dick to get it there?<\/p>\n

Who needed an alpha to knot them when today\u2019s sex toys would do the job for you with the press of a button? Who needed the complications of dating? Not me. Not now. Not ever. Especially not on the night when my two childhood best friends were renewing their wedding vows. Not now when one was walking down the aisle to the other and the one waiting for him had sworn to love me forever.<\/p>\n

Had sworn that he could be a good hinge and make poly work even if we met our true-mates. I wasn\u2019t sure I wanted polyamory. I just wanted him. Him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
