Aleena’s POV
.
One month later!!
.
“So, this area of the pack’s security needed to be increased.”, I explained to both my Beta Noah and Head Warrior, Hudson, about it, to which they nodded.
Yes! You read it, right! Hudson chose to become the Head Warrior of both the packs. During these two months, I realized that he didn’t give to any position. I didn’t know the real reason behind it, but Leia sensed that Hudson’s wolf was Alpha by blood. Except for this, no one knew a thing about him. No surname, no pack name, from where he landed in Fire Cross Pack, no one knew about it.
He was mysterious but loyal, and if we are talking about his mate, Paige. Then she had cleared that she wouldn’t reject him until he gave her the reason for rejection. At the same time, she wasn’t someone who would cry at the thought that her mate wanted to reject her but was one of them who tortured her mate by making him jealous all the time by hanging out with Noah.
I hope her plan will backfire on her.
“Lina,” My mate barged into the office hurriedly with a worried expression.
“What’s wrong?” I asked in tension.
“It’s Eva. She’s in labor.”, He replied. “I think the Alpha Heir is coming.”, He added.
“This early?”
“Maybe because the baby is hybrid. The doctor informed them that if the baby stayed a day more in Eva’s womb, then it might kill her by sucking her blood. It is growing faster than any werewolves’ pup.”
“Hudson, Noah.” Stephen looked at both our right and left hand.
“Don’t worry, Alpha! We both will handle everything here.”, Noah said while Hudson just nodded his head in acknowledgment.
“Bro, SIL, Let’s go!!” Paige said, entering the office. I didn’t miss to fail how she looked at Hudson for a while too. Even Stephen observed that he thought that she was looking at Noah.
“Yes! Let’s go.”

By the time we reached our neighboring pack, a loud noise of baby could be heard from the private room where Eva was.
“Seems like my niece or nephew is already here.”, Paige chirped and ran toward Eva’s room.
“She is still a baby.”, Stephen chuckled.
“Indeed.”
“By the way, for future purposes, what do you think about Noah and Paige as a couple?”, He asked.
“You know that Hudson is her fated mate, don’t you?”
“But he had cleared it that he didn’t want Paige, and I’m glad that Paige is not wasting her time with the mate who doesn’t want her. She is already moved on from Hudson, or maybe she will soon.”
“You misunderstand here, Mister. When a girl says YES, she means NO, and when she says NO, then she means YES.”
“What?”
“Nothing.”, I chuckled, shaking my head.
“I’m glad that my girl says the exact same thing that she really meant.”, He said, kissing my cheek. And by that time, we were already in Eva’s room.
“And there they are!” Mom said, walking toward us and hugging me and then Stephen. “It’s a boy.”, She said in an excited tone.
I already knew that, Mom.
“Aww!! He is so cute and puffy.”, Paige said, taking the new member of our family in her arms. “SIL, see!”
“He is a mini version of Daniel.”, I commented. “Except for his blue eyes, he had got his mother’s eyes.”, I added when that little one rotated his eyes here and there, wondering why these people were staring at him like this.
“Here, take your nephew in your arms.”, She said, forwarding him toward me.
“Me?”, I asked in shock.
“Yes, Lina. You.”, Stephen said, chuckling at my nervousness. “She can lift all the dangerous things but not a harmless and innocent pup.”, he joked, taking him in from Paige and giving him to me without warning. I quickly held him carefully so that he wouldn’t fall from my arms. He blinked, looking at me, and then showed me his little tongue.
“Do you think he wants to say something?” I asked Stephen.
“No, that’s how babies react.” he laughed and started making weird sounds looking at the baby. At first, I thought he had lost his mind until I saw the baby smiling, a small little smile.
“So, when are you two planning for your baby?” Aunt Emma asked, widening my eyes. “Eva got pregnant just a week after being marked, and you two are going to complete one month now. So, when you both are going to give us good news.”
‘Hold on, I’m not ready for baby or any babe.’, I thought and was about to say the same thing to Aunt Emma when Mom said.
“That should be her decision, Emma. Parenting is a responsibility, and I’m sure they will think about it when all the things in the pack will start going smoothly.”
“Yesh! You are also right. There is no use in giving birth to any pup for the sake of the caretaker.”, Aunt Emma said, agreeing with Mom.
“Thank you.”, I signaled to Mom, to which she just smiled.
“So, what will be the name of the pup? Do you guys have to think about it?”
“Yes!” Daniel said happily, walking toward me and looking at his pup. “His name will be Francis Daniel Grint.”
Both Eva’s and my eye’s filled with tears hearing dad’s name.
“I hope you don’t mind.”, Daniel said, looking at me, and then took his pup into his arms.
“No.”, I shook my head. “All that matter is dad is home.” He never differentiated between Eva and me, so I shouldn’t mind whether he returned back as Eva’s son or mine.
He would be ours.

Flashback
*
‘If I would have been your place, dad, then I would have never done that to my pup. If he or she had been a bully at his or her young age, then first, I would have talked to my pup about it. Maybe this would have worked or not. I wasn’t sure about it, but I would have kept trying to make him or she understand this fact instead of pushing him or her far away from me and ordering unknown people to bring him or her into the right path.’
‘I don’t know what you were thinking back then. There is a high chance that a part of my pup’s behavior will be like mine, but unlike you, I won’t push him or her away; instead, I will spend more and more time with him or her to understand the reason my pup’s behavior, and if required I would have also arranged special classes if required. But I would never have to repeat the same thing which you did to me. He or she will never be abandoned, or less loved ever in their life.’
‘I’m glad to know your thoughts on it, and I can’t help but feel proud of you for having these thoughts. I wish I could do something to change what happened I did to you.’

Not just I miss him saying ‘I love you, but I missed him saying ‘Sorry & Thank you.’
