CHAPTER 96

  Katelyn

  I walk across my bedroom to the crib. Even though the baby is crying, and you can’t hear anything except him, I smile as I stop at the edge.

  Our first born and the next alpha to the Sun Moon pack. My pride and joy.

  I lean over the edge of the crib and softly coo, “Are you mad, Max? You can’t be hungry. You just had your milk.”

  I gently pick him up from the crib and begin to sway back and forth, while cradling my son in my arms.

  “Hush, baby. You need to rest. You have to grow up to be big and strong.”

  However, Max continues to cry.

  Knock. Knock.

  Still swaying back and forth, I glance up at the door. “Come in.”

  The door opens and Fiona pokes her head into the bedroom. “Uhm, you can’t get him to calm down again?”

  I slowly shake my head.

  She steps into the bedroom. “Do you want me to help? Otherwise, you know there is only one other option, right?”
