“You alright, bro,” I ask Eziah, nudging him.
“I will be, I always am,” he says, watching Marabella and Kyan help open Lucas’s presents.
“I expected the shadows to leave him. Baby’s eyes change over time, and he never did,” Eziah says.
“Yeah, Dominic has a few theories about it. Kat did tell us, though, that he has a wolf, an actual wolf.
He isn’t Lycan like Kaif,” I tell him with a shrug.
“Does it worry you?” I shake my head. He was a happy boy for the most part though we had all worried because he never cried. Only the day he was born but hadn’t since. Marabella expected to be woken to feed him like a normal baby. After the third night, she started setting timers. That was when we realized he was waking during the night. He was just silent. She would find him staring blankly at the ceiling or smiling or sometimes babbling in the dark. But he never cried.
“And you?” I ask Casen.
“It Is what it is,” Casen says, tipping his beer bottle to his lips.
“And what is it?” I ask.
“Rose rejected me. She doesn’t want your parents to know, though,” he says with a shrug.
“And you accepted it?” he shrugs. ” Well, I didn’t reject her rejection, nor did I accept it, so it is what it is,” he repeats.
“So you are both pretending to be mates?” I ask. Casen sighs.
“Well, what else am I supposed to do? She hates me,”
“Over Vince?” I ask.
“Kinda, but not really. She understands why I killed Vince. It’s the others she doesn’t get,” he says while standing up, I wanted to ask what he meant, but his eyes locked on my sister as she wandered inside with one of Kyan’s warriors and her friend. She didn’t appear to be doing anything wrong, but Kyan also looked after her when Casen stormed off past him after her. ?
“He won’t want to start anything here,” Kyan mind links before I heard it open up again. This time Kyan was talking to the warrior she walked off with.
“Stay away from my sister-in-law. She is off-limits, Mckellen, so move away from her,” Kyan warned.
“Huh? I’m not doing anything,” I heard him reply, but regardless a second later, he came back out the doors this time alone, and Casen glared at him as he walked inside looking for Rose.
I shake my head, and Eziah slaps my chest with his hand. ”Come on, Dad’s brought out the cake, and I want to get photos with the birthday boy,” Eziah says, dropping his empty beer bottle in the cooler. I chug mine doing the same and head over while Eziah fumbles for his phone to take pictures. Mara and
Kyan wave me over, and I jog over before Mara passes Lucas to me while she and Kyan clear a spot for the cake on the table.
Everyone starts singing happy birthday, and Lucas giggles clapping his hands while I hold him close to his cake. He smacks it, sending icing everywhere, making me chuckle, and when everyone stops singing, Lucas tries to blow out his candle, his attempts sending slobber and spit all over the cake.
Probably much to Dominic’s horror before Kyan leans down and helps him.
Lucas claps, his fingers covered in icing, and holds his finger out to Kyan, who then grabs his little wrist and licks the icing off the finger that Lucas held out to him. Silence fell as we watched the man who hated getting dirty play with and munch on his son’s sticky hand like he wasn’t a germophobe.
Lucas laughed, smearing some cake on his cheek with his other hand. Kyan laughs and reaches for a napkin, only then realizing everyone was staring at him as if he had suddenly grown two heads.
“What?” He demanded, looking at everyone.
“Nothing,” Mara said with a giggle, and the chatter restarted. ~
