"Oh, this is Rowan, my son." Do you know one another?" Hunter inquired, surprised.

Nova snorted; she had assumed that she would be the only one to raise her children and had no idea that she would see their father again.

"Yes, he is the father of my babies." Nova exclaimed, staring angrily at Rowan.

"What!" Rowan and Hunter both spoke at once.

Seizing Rowan's cloak, Hunter struck him with a clenched fist, believing that Rowan had done it on purpose.

"Why did you have to sleep with her? I made it very clear to you to check on her. You realize she will never be yours," Hunter angrily yelled at Rowan.

Rowan cast regretful glances down.

"I apologize; I was unable to control my cravings. She resembled my friend and behaved well. It never occurred to me that it would make her pregnant."

As tears trickled down her cheeks, Nova wiped them away.
