Leo squeezed his father’s hand and looked into the older man’s sightless eyes. It’s not that he was blind, the Lion King had perfect vision. And yet, he knew his father was not seeing him.
It was as if he was somewhere else, locked away inside his mind. The old King seemed caught in his past somehow and judging from his expression and the occasional moan that escaped his thin lips, it was not a pleasant experience.
“Car! Car!” Donovan Crowley repeated the nickname he’d given Leo’s mother a long time ago.
It struck a chord deep within Leo as his father called out for his mate over and over again. Caroline Crowley, Leo’s mother, was a human woman, a normal, as their kind referred to them. Fate had dealt his parents quite the hand, but it all worked out. His human mother fell in love and got mated to the Lion King of Blue Valley.
