“I think you could use some help more than I could,” he said as he got up off the couch. “Oh no, you don’t have to-
But he waved me off.
“Please, let me. I’m sure you hardly get any rest.”
I didn’t protest anymore.
He was right. Even with Quinn’s help, I was f u cking exhausted.
Mason walked back to Stella’s room, and when they came out, she was smiling and grabbing at the stubble on his face. “Wow, she’s never this happy when she wakes up.” I marveled.
Mason seriously had the charisma of an old Hollywood star.
No one could resist his charms Standing in front of me, holding my baby like it was the most natural thing in the world, it was hard to see the side of Mason that Quinn had warned me about.
I saw someone strong, thoughtful, protective, a little sensitive.
I still couldn’t believe someone like that was drawn to me, a single mother with no power, but that didn’t mean he was a ps ycho I’d come here alone, I’d spent all my nights alone…it was nice to have someone strong standing beside 2/3 “It’s finally a little warmer out,” Mason said. “What do you think about going for a walk?” Allittle while later, we’d driven down the road to a park that was shared between Stillwood and the rogue territory where Mason was’ from.
We strolled leisurely, Stella in her stroller, and I found mysel between us.
again by how natural things felt As we passed an older woman, she leaned down and admired Stella in her stroller.
“So beautiful,” she said, and my heart swelled. “Looks just like Daddy.”
She winked and then continued on.
Mason laughed lightly, but I couldn’t decide whether I was embarrassed or delighted” “She’s obviously confused,” he teased.
But as I looked down at Stella and then back up at Mason, I wasn’t wrong.
realized that the wo I didn’t know how I hadn’t noticed it before, but they really did look alike…
I turned to Mason.
“Do you have something you want to tell me?”
Katie as over Mason was over Again.
This was the third day in a row.
He’d laughed off my question about his and Stella’s resemblance, assuring me I was only seeing it because I was looking for it.
“A days-old baby can look like anyone if you squint,” he’d said.
That made us both giggle so hard we’d cried.
But over the last couple of days, I couldn’t shake it.
There were small mannerisms, like the way they knitted their brows together when they were frustrated or the way their lips curled up in impish smiles, that seemed undeniably similar.
Plus, there was the fact that Mason and Stella had bonded more and more every day.
Currently, he had her in his arms, feeding her a bottle.
Awarm glow erupted from my chest and spread all the way to my fingertips in moments like these.
Everything felt just…perfect.
Even Lily would stir when he was near.
“Mmm, that smell,” she’d say. Or “Get closer, touch him again.”
She liked being near Mason as much as I did.
“If you keep coming over and feeding her,” I told Mason, “I’m gonna get used to it.” “That’s fine with me,” he said, grinning mischievously “Because I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.” “Good to know.”
“I’m drawn to you, Katie. And to Stella, too. I’m sure you can tell by now,” he said, his blazing gaze holding me hostage. “I’ve never felt like this before. Especially so quickly.”
My insides melted like warm chocolate.
“I feel the same way, Mason. Truly”
“Listen,” he said, setting down the bottle and moving closer to me. “I don’t want to go back home.” “What…what do you mean?”
My heart was hammering.
I liked having him over, but not like….permanently.
That would be moving way too fast.
Wouldn’t it?
“I mean I’m content just staying with Asher right now so I can be near you and Stella.” Relief flooded through me.
He wanted to stay, but he wasn’t pushing me.
Mr. Perfect strikes again.
He reached forward with his free hand and brushed my hair back.
Little jolts of electricity seemed to dance across every place his skin touched mine. “I just want more time with you,” he said, His face was so close, his full lips inches from mine.
Was this going to happen?
Was he going to kiss me?
I closed my eyes, anticipating his touch, but instead, heard a pounding on the door. My eyes flew open.
“What the hell?” I said.
[ran to the door and Asher rushed in, his face flushed and his darting everywhere. “Where’s Mason? Is he here?”
“Da mn, hello to you, too.”
“lm serious, Katie.”
He turned his gaze on me and his eyes flashed with his wolf.
I’d never seen him like that before.
“Yeah he’s in the living room.”
Asher ran in and I followed.
“What the f uck, man?” Mason said. “You could’ve called.”
“No,” Asher said breathlessly. “They’re here.”
Mason’s face drained of color.
“Alpha Constantine and his Beta. They’re in Stillwood”
eyes Xander “Da mn, this place is pretty cute,” Zane said, He looked through the window of the cafe booth we were sitting in and took in the bustling main road. “I was expecting to see people getting like… murdered in the streets or something.”
Stillwood was pretty quaint for a rogue town, and the surrounding forest made it look lush and picturesque.
But I shrugged.
“I can’t imagine not having a pack. Or hierarchies.”
Zane took another huge slurp of coffee.
“They y seem to manage it pretty well. You just can’t imagine not being Alpha.”
He tossed a piece of toast at my face.
“What the f uck?” I growled.
But then I ripped off a piece of bacon and threw it back.
