You need to talk to him, Nate.I mind-linked him.He is right. He is going to be an Alpha soon. He needs to know what happened. He needs to know all the facts.
My son was an intelligent boy. He would notice that we aren’t allies with the strongest pack and would want to know why.
I know.Nathan sighed.I will talk to him. I will tell him.
I could sense the fear coming off of Nate.
There is nothing to be afraid of, my love.I said softly.He will admire and love you just as much and maybe even more after you tell him the truth.
Nathan took a deep breath and smiled at our son.
“You are right, bud,” Nate said. “It is time for you to learn about these things.”
A huge smile spread across Hunter’s face.
“Does that mean I can go this year?” he asked excitedly.
Nathan smiled and nodded.
“How about me, dad?” Harry asked.
“You are still too young, kid,” Nate said, making Harry frown. “You can come with us when you turn 15. I promise.”
Harry rolled his eyes, making me chuckle.
I approached him and hugged him from behind.
“Maybe I could stay home with you, and you and I can spend some time together,” I said, making him look up at me. “Just me and my little pup.”
Harry sighed and rolled his eyes.
“I am not little, mom,” he mumbled.
I chuckled and kissed his cheek.
“You will always be my little pup,” I said. “Even when you turn 50.”
Harry rolled his eyes again, making me chuckle.
“Fine,” he sighed. “Will you make cheesecake for us?”
He grinned at me, and I laughed.
“I will,” I said and winked at him.
“I kind of want to stay home now, too,” Hunter mumbled, making Nate and me laugh.
“No can do, Alpha,” Harry said. “I’m getting all the cheesecake while you go to work.”
I chuckled and shook my head.
I walked back to the stove to finish making breakfast.
I heard footsteps approaching me and felt two hands wrap around my waist.
“I love you, Jenny,” my mate mumbled as he placed a small kiss on my neck.
“I love you too,” I said softly.
