The similarities between these carbon copy werewolves is freaky.

Phoebe charges over to Aaron and barks at him from the floor. He leans down, offering his hand out, and she nudges his hand with her head before tugging at his tracksuit pants.

“Can I lift her up?” Aaron asks, looking at me for permission.

I look at Topher, who laughs and nods. Aaron lifts her into his arms and strokes her head softly as she buries her face into his chest, letting out another small howl.

“She must like the way you smell,” Ben says, turning around on the floor to glare at Aaron. “What food you got hidden? She’s not allowed to eat yet.”

Aaron’s face lights up in amusement. “None. Clearly, she just likes me.”

He doesn’t even flinch as Phoebe shifts in his arms, he simply adjusts his hold. “Oh, she’s beautiful, Maia. Congratulations.”

I grin, a feeling of warmth filling me. “Thank you.”

“Who does she like the best?” Aaron asks, smirking over at Topher. “I bet it’s not you.”

“Maia,” my three men say as one.

“It’s not very fair when she’s the one with the boobs,” Ben mutters, and we all chuckle. Phoebe’s eyes are drifting closed as Aaron holds her against his chest.

“Can’t blame me for mother nature,” I tease.

He rolls his eyes and looks up at Aaron. “When are you lot thinking about kids?”

“None of our business, Ben,” I counter, and I’m the one to kick him this time. Brad gives me an appreciative nod, and whilst I have no idea why, I don’t ask.

It’s nobody’s business on whether a family is going to be grown other than the people who are making and growing the baby.

“It was just a question,” he mutters, leaning his head back onto my knees.

“She looks so much like you,” Aaron says, smiling down at Phoebe. “She’s gorgeous, Maia. You must be so proud.”

“I am.” I smile over at them, my heart feeling so warm at seeing Phoebe get a good and warm reception from her family members.

The door bangs open, and I turn to smile at Seb, but he doesn’t look at me as he pushes it shut behind him. Instead, he charges over to where Aaron is holding Phoebe, and Aaron looks up at him with a smirk.

“Mine.” Seb’s one word growl sends tingles through my body, goosebumps appearing on my skin.

He leans in and takes Phoebe from Aaron, lifting her up to his face. My heart literally melts when he rubs his nose against hers and lets out a soft purr. She smiles, and he lifts her to his chest, her head resting on his shoulder, as he glowers at Aaron.

“Move.”

Aaron laughs. “Find somewhere else to sit, bro, I’m pretty cosy here next to your beaut?—”

His words are cut off when Seb growls low, and most of the men start to laugh. Aaron does get up, moving to the empty armchair, and Seb comes to sit by me, beckoning me into his side.

“Dramatic much?” I tease, pressing a soft kiss to Seb’s jaw. I’d say he needs a shave, but that never works with the four of them.

I wonder if they did it all at the same time if it would take.

“Missed you.” I let out an audible aw and press another kiss to his skin, letting the sparks soothe him.

I rest my head on his shoulder, and he kisses the top of it before glaring at his brother’s-in-law.

I don’t know why his possessive nature is so… enticing, but I truly do love it.

“Talia’s here,” Ben calls just as the door sounds. Seb adjusts Phoebe so that he can cuddle with me without handing her over to me as Alex gets up once more to let the next group of people in.
