The following day, Nikka was on a rare visit with Sonora when the bear tipped her head and listened to the voice only she could hear. A huge smile appeared on her face.
"The baby comes."
Nikka followed Sonora to Honey and Mandy's cabin. When Sonora tried to shoo Honey away, the large man growled at his mother, refusing to leave.
"These modern ways are hard to understand. I wanted to kill The Kodiak before he left my birthing chamber."
Zenya arrived and obviously heard the grandmother-to-be. She looked between Honey and Mandy, speaking gently. "I understand Mandy; Nicolas never left my side. I needed him."
The wolf whined with another labor pain, but continued walking beside her mate as they paced.
Honey turned panicked eyes to Zenya. "If Nicolas was here, he could tell me what I need to do as a father."
A low growl came from Mandy.
