“Are you done with my mate, Sanders?” Jeremy asked with a sheepish grin.
“Yes, alpha.” The doctor nodded. “He’s going to be wheeled back to his room.”
“Good. Place my child on my mate’s chest for now.” Jeremy instructed. “And Stan?” Jeremy called to his grinning friend. “Get them to change the rug in Ryan’s room… what’s the word you doctors usually use? Stat!” Jeremy grinned as the medical team laughed. “Preferably, a thick and fluffy one, Stan.”
“Right away Alpha.” Stan took off.
“What are you doing?” Ryan laughed, his curious eyes on his mate.
“You’ll see.” Jeremy gave his mate a wink so sexy and lecherous he blushed.
“He’s back,” Philip muttered with a fist pump, obviously thrilled that his friend was himself again and taking charge.
“Michelle?” Gloria called to the nurse as the doctor placed her grandson on Ryan’s chest. “I need soft towels. New and very soft please.” She seemed to know exactly what her son was trying to do. “Congratulations honey.” She kissed a teary-eyed Ryan on the forehead. “I’m so proud of you.”
“Hey…” Troy grinned up at Philip who looked totally captivated by the sight of Ryan and his son together. “Amazing isn’t it?”
“That’s the sweetest, most adorable, and most beautiful fucking sight ever.” Philip breathed as he took out his phone and focused on the proud emotional father and his beautiful son on the bed.

Ryan couldn’t help his shocked gasp when he was wheeled back into the large executive room. The room in which he’d been some hours earlier looked like a flower shop. And the beautiful fragrance emanating from the different flowers added a sweet and natural touch to the room which Ryan absolutely loved. The seats in the room had been pushed further away from the bed, leaving an even bigger space in front of the bed.
And on the floor in front of the bed was a wide plush white rug which Ryan thought was undeniably beautiful. When Jeremy began to strip, Ryan finally figured out what his mate had in mind. The alpha wolf was going to take over. After all, their son was in wolf form so would be more comfortable around the wolf.
“I should have known.” Ryan laughed and wrapped his arms around his sleeping son as he was transferred to his bed.
“Everyone has a role to play.” Gloria chuckled as her son shifted into a large red wolf.
The wolf went to Ryan’s side and nuzzled him affectionately until Ryan started to giggle. After a last playful lick across Ryan’s mouth, the red wolf went to lie on the rug and watched as his mother arranged about three towels beside him, clearly intended for his child.
‘We hadn’t expected this.’ Gloria muttered on her mind-link with her son. ‘I’ll go and look for something cozy and appropriate for him as soon as the two of you get comfortable.
‘You sure he’s not hungry?’ The wolf asked.
‘We’ve made a bottle ready for him. Deloris is on standby. Dr. Sanders and Paige too. I won’t be long.’
‘Alright. But I’d rather he sleeps in my arms instead of the towels.’ The wolf said. ‘I know he’ll prefer that.’
‘You’re right.’ Gloria nodded. ‘He’ll definitely love the body heat. Should I bring him?’ She asked the wolf, who gave a quick nod. Gloria went to the sleeping pup and gently rubbed it. “Hey munchkin, I’m your grandma. And I’m going to take you to your daddy.” With that very important pronouncement, Gloria gently picked up her grandchild and went to place him in the arms of the alpha wolf who promptly let out a soft howl, announcing his joy.
Ryan couldn’t help the smile that widened his lips as he watched his mate and child from his spot on the bed. He sighed with contentment, sending out a silent prayer of gratitude to the Supreme Being for bringing such joy into his life. He’d definitely never thought his life would be that fulfilled. But despite his joy, one thing was bothering the mate of the alpha of all alphas. He felt left out. He wanted to be on that rug with his family. The alpha wolf felt his mate’s need.
‘You will be more comfortable on the bed, baby.’ The wolf muttered.
‘I’d rather be there with you two.’ Ryan whimpered.
‘Alright, call the nurses to come and help you.’ The wolf sighed. He knew better than to try to talk his mate out of something like that.
‘I can come myself.’ Ryan grunted as he slowly sat up, swung his feet off the bed, and grabbed his pillows.
‘Ryan…’ The wolf gave a warning growl but his stubborn mate ignored him and got off the bed. ‘So stubborn.’ He muttered as Ryan stretched out beside him. But the tenderness in the eyes of the beast as he watched his mate snuggling closer couldn’t be masked. It certainly felt amazing having their son nestled cozily between them.
‘Brilliant thinking.’ The wolf chuckled. ‘Now get some sleep.’
And when Philip entered the room some minutes later, it was to find the huge alpha wolf sleeping peacefully with both his mate and son.
The alpha pulled out his phone and snapped away…
