Chapter 489: Cozy Little Nest
E
“Kinda wish I knew what Rafe’s power is going to be now,” I murmur as we lift Rafe’s carrier out of the
car early the next morning.
Cora and Roger stayed up in their room for a few more minutes, but they came downstairs much more
cheerful and ready to celebrate. I watched them carefully a long time, checking to see if they were just
putting on good faces for their guests – but honestly? From everything I could see, they really decided
to embrace the good news the Goddess gave them.
It was a wonderful night and a brilliant morning.
But now? Now I want to go to sleep.
“I already know what his gift is,” Sinir says, slinging an arm around my shoulders as we start into the
pce.
“You do?” I gasp, looking up into his face. But then I scowl when I see his smirk and realize that he’s
kidding. ” Oh, you liar.”
“No really,” he says, raising his eyebrows at me. “His goddess-given power is just…handsome.”
“What!?” I squeak, a little aghast, my mouth falling open at this ridiculous idea.
“Come on!” Sinir says,ughing and grinning down at me. “Look how good looking this kid is!” he
continues, gesturing down at our son in his carrier, who is sleeping with a little bit of drool dribbling out
the side of his mouth.
“Oh my god,” I groan, speeding up my steps and attempting to move ahead of my ridiculous mate.
“I’m serious!” Sinir pushes,ughing, easily catching up to me with his long legs. “Didn’t you see him
in that vision, all grown up? He is a handsome guy – it’s got to be his power.”
“Stop ttering yourself, Dominic,” I mutter, stepping into our elevator and jabbing the up button with my
thumb. ” He looked just like you.”
“Precisely my point!” Sinir says, wrapping my arm around my waist and tugging me close against his
side as the elevator begins to raise, “he’s going to bring nations to their knees with just his smoldering
gaze – ”
“Cover your ears, baby!” I call to Rafe, rolling my eyes at Sinir. “Your dad is going to raise you to be
vain and overly pleased with yourself -”
“I want the child to know the full extent of his power! He has to be prepared! He, too, is going to have
demigoddesses just falling all over him
I can’t help it at this – I burst outughing. “Stop it!” I gasp, smacking Sinir on the chest. “We’re
trying to raise a nice boy – not an egomaniac!”
“But you’re not saying that I’m wrong,” my mate says, smirking and cupping my face in his gigantic
hand.
“Well, I don’t think it’s his gift,” I say, narrowing my eyes at him as the doors open. I bite my lip though.
“But he really was handsome, wasn’t he? In the vision.”
“I’m telling you, E,” Sinir says, grinning at me as we step into our hall. “If it’s not a gift it’s a curse.
He’s going to have to keep a fly swatter at his side all the time to keep the girls off him – ”
I burst outughing again at the mental image, leaning hard against my mate as my cheeks and my
side begin to ache. We pass a few staff in the hallway who smile happily at us as we make our way
down the hall to our door. Sinir opens it, pressing a warm hand to my back as I head inside.
“Honestly,” I say with a happy sigh, looking down at our kid, “I think maybe his Goddess gift is…
sleeping soundly. Through everything.”
“He’s just used to his loud mom,” Sinir sighs, dropping a kiss on my cheek before I crouch down to
lift the baby out of his carrier.
“Don’t you listen to anything daddy says,” I murmur to my sweet, floppy little baby as I gather him up in
my arms. “He is a big ugly liar tonight -”
“I’m not ugly!” he calls from the closet, because of course his alpha hearing caught my private
conversation with my son.
“He is,” I whisper, grinning at Rafe as I tuck him against my shoulder and stand to carry him into the
closet, intent on getting him changed into some pajamas. “And whatever he says, you get your good
looks from me.”
“Well, that I won’t contest,” Sinir says, grabbing me to his half-naked body the moment I step
through the door.
“Wise man,” I say, lifting myself on my toes for a kiss. Sinir gives it to me a long, lingering one, and
then he pats me on the ass before reaching for some pajama pants.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated

There’s a happy little silence in the closet then as we all get ready for bed even though its about seven
in the morning. These baptisms – they’re exhausting, but there’s something nice about having an entire
day of rest afterwards. Like the baby’s big day gives us all a little respite to sit back and think about our
world, our lives.
When we’re all ready, Sinir and I give Rafe a kiss and then tuck him into his little crib. I sigh after I
put him down, crossing my arms over my chest. “Maybe we should take him into the nest tonight,” I
murmur. “Keep him close while we can.”
“You can’t sleep with them every night,” Sinir says softly, leaning in to kiss me on the side of my
head, just above my ear.
“You just try to stop me,” I growl. ” Maybe I’ll gather all the children with us in bed until they’re sixty – ”
“That’s a bad idea,” my mate says, wrapping his arms around me and walking backwards towards the
bed, tugging me with him so that we both fall back onto the mattress together.” You’ll traumatize them.”
“Fine,” I sigh, curling up with my mate in my fresh, cozy nest. “Just until they’re twenty, then.”
“Okay,” he agrees, tucking his head down against my shoulder and ying with my hair with one hand,
the other moving down my side to caress my little baby bump. “How’s this one doing?”
“I think she’s okay,” I say, sighing happily. And then I bite my lip, turning mind fully to my daughter for
the first real time tonight. “It was amazing to see her too, wasn’t it?”

“It was,” he murmurs. “What a gift it was to be Jesse’s godparent.”
“She’s so pretty,” I whisper, my voice squeaking a little in excitement.
“She looks just like you,” Sinir whispers,ughing.
“I know,” I say, giggling. “Just think she’ll have Kings falling at her feet, nations copsing under the
weight of her smolder – ”
“Girls don’t smolder,” he murmurs,ughing along with me.
“This one will,” I sigh, putting my hand on top of his on my stomach. “I think she’s going to be really
special, Dominic,” I whisper.
“I think so too,” he whispers back. And I smile, and snuggle up against my mate, and wrapped up warm
in each other’s arms we fall asleep.
I’m my wolf in my dreams this morning, running breathless through the forest, the wind rippling through
my hair. I toss my head back, sprinting for the joy of it. Sinir is by my side, his own gigantic wolf
keeping easy pace with me, and I nip at his side, teasing him, urging him faster.
He snaps his teeth at me yfully and obeys, speeding up to pass me, and at his heels is a little brown
pup – yipping his joy as he chases his father’s tail. Iugh inwardly, joy racing through my heart,
watching Rafe and Sinir go.
But I don’t chase after them, because pressed close to my own side is my little charge. She’s just
barely there half visible, half substantial in the morning light that filters through the trees. But I can feel
her – in my heart and down my bond. My own little twin, a little rose-gold pup, who raises her snout to
the sky and howls for joy.
I dip my snout, and give her a quick lick across the head, and she peers up at me with eyes so happy
they squint.
And then I run, with my daughter by my side, all morning long.
