Regan’s POVMe and Reid had just got off the jetski, both of us dripping wet and laughing as we dragged it back toward the shore. The sun was high, the water warm, and the whole beach at San Estrella Cove was packed with families, tourists, and kids running around with sand buckets. We’d left my parents lounging under a big umbrella, and Reila was wandering somewhere with her camera, probably hunting for aesthetic shots.Reid shook his head like a dog, spraying water everywhere. “Dad! Did you see that wave? I thought we were going to flip!”I chuckled, ruffling his soaked hair. “We weren’t flipping. I had it under control.”“No, you didn’t,” he said with a grin, eyes bright. “You screamed.”“I did not scream.”“You did,” he insisted, laughing. “Like this—AAAH!”I groaned. “That’s not even close to how I sound.”Reid kept laughing, the kind of laugh that made his whole body shake. “It was funny, Dad. You should’ve seen your face.”I crouched down to fix his goggles, which were hanging c

Then, without warning, Atticus stepped closer. And suddenly, his small arms wrapped around my waist. He hugged me.I froze.Reid froze too, eyes wide. “Atti?”But Atticus didn’t let go. His tiny shoulders trembled, and then he cried. Soft, shaky little sobs pressed against my stomach.My heart stopped.“Hey… hey, buddy,” I whispered, my voice breaking even though I tried to hold it together. “What’s wrong?”Atticus shook his head against me, gripping my shirt tighter. “I’m just… so happy.”Happy. Happy to see me? Happy like something inside him recognized something inside me. I didn’t understand. Damn, I couldn’t understand. But God… I felt it.A warmth spread through my chest. I bent down, arms moving on their own, and hugged him back gently afraid that this moment would vanish in an instant.I was so happy. Too happy.Reid let out a delighted squeal and immediately threw his arms around both of us, giggling as he squeezed himself into the hug.“Group hug!” he laughed, pressing his c

Alaric’s POV Fuck me. That was my first thought when I saw my nephew in the middle of the ocean with a man. It is better if it was a random man. But it’s not. It was Regan. Marianne and I had already been panicking since that kid suddenly vanished the moment I reached the shore. I offered to help look for my adorable nephew, mostly because standing around while everyone spiraled would only make things worse. Maybe this was the reason my dear cousin Anastasia had looked troubled even though this was supposed to be a vacation. They were here. He was here. Regan was here. And not just here. He was riding a jet ski with Atticus—his secret son—back toward the shore. I cursed under my breath. But there was no point delaying the inevitable. Maybe him finding out had always been getting closer. Maybe this was one of those signs from the universe that people liked to talk about when everything was already falling apart. With that thought, I walked toward them as casually as I could,

I looked at my son sleeping peacefully with Phoenix’s arm wrapped protectively around him.A small smile touched my lips as I leaned down and kissed Atticus’s forehead. He did not stir. He only snuggled closer to Phoenix, his lashes resting softly against his cheeks.I took my scarf from the chair and wrapped it around my shoulders before quietly stepping out of the room. I could not sleep.The hallway was silent, but my thoughts were not. They kept circling back to whatever my life was right now which is a mess, and to the heaviness in my chest that refused to leave.I pulled my scarf tighter as I pressed the elevator button for the first floor. When the doors opened, I was surprised to find the resort still awake despite it being one in the morning. A few guests lingered in the lobby, speaking in low voices. Staff moved between tables, and distant laughter drifted from the bar.I was already walking toward the glass doors when a strange prickling sensation crawled over the back of m
