Chapter 177
Isaac Everdale.
The fearless Ga mma of Greyhoundâ¦
was pinned to the ground by a menacing fiend under the guise of a three year old toddler with mousey brown hair and big brown eyes. His tiny little fists grabbing as much hair as he could before looking up at me curiously. Blinking, the toddler lets go of his hold around Isaacâs hair and reaches his chubby little arms toward me,
âMa.â
What the actual f uck.
âCome on Xavier, let go of punk as s Isaacâs hair and- Oh. Hi there, Alpha Crestfield.â
Weston walked out from the dining room and smiled over to me. In his arms a few stuffed animals and a baby blue rattle. His dark hair messy and eyes holding not a semblance of the joy he tried to express through a tight smile.
âYou smell great, Selene. Raizel Locksworth is a great scent for you.â
My eyes widen and my jaw goes slack. My gaze falls to Isaac whoâs bright face reddened and awkwardly hurried to look away. In my haste, I forgot to note how Raizelâs scent was all over me just as mine was on him. I shoved the embarrassment down my throat and tried my best to keep myself calm.
Clearing my throat, i force myself to look at the approaching figures. A tall attractive, aged dark haired man who looked strikingly familiar with vibrant grey eyes walked into view with a beautiful woman clutching onto his arm.
They were his parents.
The likeliness was too strong for them to be anyone otherwise. I could hardly make up some feasible greeting when long, thin arms suddenly envelop me in a warm embrace.
The woman who had the same smile as Raizel Locksworth breathed me in, arms tight around me and shakily puffed out a small laugh. The scent around her figure had the tinge of something floral. Maybe nature like, like a gust of wind blowing through a field of daisies. It was calming, âHello dear.â
I blinked and looked to the man who held himself in high regard behind the woman holding me. His eyes dark but warm as he took in the scene before him. A smile so small you could miss how it tugged on his lips,
âYou must be Alpha Crestfield.â
He spoke. The woman pulled away, smiling intently at me as she searched my face. Soft, dainty hands curl around my arms as she looked me up and down like I wasnât real. A spark of hope and happiness gleam in her eyes. So similar to the look I got from Meredith when I took the Alpha position from her hands.
âGoddess, Stefan. Sheâs gorgeous.â
Her voice breaks me out of my thoughts as I blink at her. Heat rushing into my skin when âStefanâ
nodded in agreement. The smile on his face spread just a little more. Clearly this must be what Williams was talking about. The âphone callâ he got that made him send Raizel with me at Nightwake.,
I suddenly feel self-conscious. If Iâd known theyâd be here I wouldâve done better to look and smell presentable. There was no doubt theyâd smell their son all over me.

I blush.
âThat she is.â
He agreed finally. A shiver passes through me at the sound of him approaching. Raizel holds a smile, his eyes soft. For a moment I had to blink twice to make sure I wasnât hallucinating. The sight was just beyond what I expected.
A little girl clung onto his neck as he held her up with one arm. Dark, raven black curls tied into a ponytail as she blinked at me. Those big doe eyes staring straight at me pierce into my soul. The ooze of innocence rolling off of her as she watched with unsuspecting eyes. So very oblivious to the dangers of the world and so pure.
She was about Lilaâs age.
Or at least, her age before she-
I flinched, warmth spreading from the pit of my stomach at the sight. The quirk of Raizelâs brow, silently asking me if I was okay, brought a small smile onto my face. If that was how good he looked holding a child-
I bite down on my lip as my wolf supplied us with thoughts of starting a family. Raizel cradling our child, swaying softly to lull the bundle of joy to sleep. A thought I shouldnât be having with how early it was.
Weâd just began a relationship and I already loved the man and was picturing a future together. A future that may happen in a long, long time.
âLaura, I think youâll scafe her off with the way youâre holding onto her like sheâll disappear into thin air.â
Stefan smiles down at his mate, loving eyes soaking in her smile before he walks up behind her. Its like his words abruptly sank in as she pulls her hands away. Laura frowns for a moment, a slight wrinkle in her brow before regaining the same smile on her face when she looks at me not a second later. The joy she felt undeterred.
Stefan places his hand at her lower back, standing close to her. They were the picture perfect example of what an Alpha pair should look like. They revel in waves of power. I can sense their authority, especially from Stefanâs broad frame. The Alpha in him more present than most Alphas Iâve met up to date.
