Xayden’s POV“I love you. And I trust you too,” Bolt whispered and my heart melted instantly. Despite my mom’s piercing words, I felt warmth spread across my chest like a soft, worn blanket on a cold night—familiar, safe, and utterly comforting. It wrapped around me, shielding me from every doubt and fear, reminding me that no matter what, I had a home in him.Bolt’s eye’s widened and so did mine a second later. His chest glowed in hues of blue and a shared sense of warmth and comfort enveloped my entire being, drenching me with waves of love and care.I looked at Bolt in shock. He was the source of the blissful vibes. He filled my chest with something like gel which was akin to cool liquid fire, igniting every nerve while filling every crack he had unknowingly left in me. His trust, his love, pure and unguarded, wrapped around me, pulling me under a tide I never wanted to escape.I pulled him close to me and lay a kiss on his lips in public that would have mothers covering their kids

Rhys’ POV“Mate !” The Dragon King croaked hoarsely in the middle of the night, as if he had cried himself to sleep. His hands were still on my bed while he lurched forward in his chair to support his head over his hands. Looked like no one could win over the obstinate man to rest in his comfortable suite. Oh, Goddess !“Your Highness !!” I croaked back, my throat parched and aching. Tears welled up in my eyes and felt every pain point where a needle might have been poked in my body. My left hand, in particular, burned and stung like hell.He quickly brought a glass of water with a straw in it. The simple act of finding a straw, that too in an infirmary, melted my heart. However, I couldn’t help but feel guilty about my love for Nox.He gently lifted my head and held the glass as long as I sipped from it slowly. His eyes were bloodshot red but they still held a strain of warmth and softness.“I can’t lose you too to the rogues,” he finally broke the silence, his voice gravelly and tor

Nox’s POVThe huge mark across my chest glowed brightly before the blue light died down just as Rhys entered my office. That meant Xayden was back in the packhouse from dealing with Ilana too.I slowly got up, my hands automatically going on my stomach and back. Rhys slammed the files on the table quickly and rushed to my side. He caught me by the waist and helped me balance.Xayden entered at the same time. My gaze rose up. Xayden’s eyes moved to Rhys’ hand supporting me. His gaze shifted back to me and he suddenly smiled. Smiled !It felt like the bulb in his mind suddenly flashed on and he got a superb idea. Rhys’ slowly helped me around the huge desk as I waddled as fast as possible.“Thank you, Rhys. I will help Nox from here,” Xayden said and he easily replaced Rhys’ arm around my waist and snaked his own around it. However, he also settled one palm on my hip as well.“Asshole ! Remove your hand from my ass,” I fired up instantly.Xayden chuckled and pulled me to him, instantly

Xayden’s POV“Didn’t you apply for a paternity leave, Beta Nox ?” Rhys asked with a raised eyebrow.“Hmm, I did. Alpha here rejected it,” Nox replied, cutely curled in my lap like a cat. He clung to me 24x7 but I couldn’t complain. This is exactly what I wanted.“Alpha,” Rhys ground out, his fingers curling into fists by his sides. “How can you be so demonic ? He is your mate ! And those are your pups !! As Gamma of the pack, I need to remind you that maternity and paternity leaves can not be cancelled without a valid reason. It is against our pack rules !” He scolded. “You will be punished if the elders get to know about this.”I narrowed my eyes at him.“I am your friend and Alpha. Show me some respect before accusing me and blackmailing me,” I growled and Rhys visibly winced. He looked at me apologetically.“I am sorry, Alpha. I got angry on Nox’s behalf and – … ”“Xayden.”“Excuse me ?”“Call me by my name. You sound so cold when you address me formally,” I pointed out.“That is n

Xayden’s POV“Xayden ! Where are you taking me ?” Nox whined, blindfolded.“You are going out of this pack house for your paternity leave. The Goddess forbid that you miss reading a report or even work for an hour less if you stay a minute more here,” I fussed.“That is not entirely true,” he pouted.“It is, Firebug,” I playfully nipped his nose and he cutely huffed.Over the past few days, I had come up with a collection of cute nicknames for my feisty babe. He was my Stormy to Snappy Bear to Spicy Boo to Rumblepuff to Rebel Muffin to Bossy Boots to Grumpcake.The little hotheaded bean was my muse for these nicknames and he had lived up to their meanings, responding accurately to them by throwing whatever came in his hand at me.“Where are we going ?” He asked again, snuggling into me. He had dragged me to the back seat and obstinately taken his place in my lap. I was not complaining at all but we ended up having Theressa as our designated driver who wouldn’t stop laughing at my plig
