“Fuck.”
“Exactly and now we have a son.” I glared at my brother who brushed a hand over his head.
“We’ll figure it out. But until we do,shehas to go. She can’t be here. It’s not fair to Toy and you need to get to know your son.”
She… Keerah.
“We’re not together like that and she doesn’t have anywhere else to go. I promised her I would present a proposal for her to join our pack…”
“No. Not happening.”
“She’s alone, Laz.” I narrowed my glare on him because not too long ago he was facing the same dilemma with accepting Jo.
“I don’t care and don’t look at me like that. She’s not Jo.”
Hislone wolf.
“I’m not saying she is, but she isalone. I brought her here because we accept the misfits, the unloved, and give them a place to belong. You have to at least consider giving her a home.”
Laz chuckled dryly. “You really want another woman you’ve been fucking,here,around Toyin? That’s the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard in all my life, Xan. Jo isn’t going to accept her. She’s protective of Toy. We all are. But since you left, and she had Rafe, the others are not always kind. They’re angry because of Rafe.”
“What have they done?” I growled and he smirked.
“Nothing because they know better but that doesn’t mean she can’t feel how much they dislike her. Toy doesn’t need one more person to add to an already long list.”
“Keerah won’t be a problem.”
“Yeah right. Your funeral, Xan. Like you said, you’re the oldest. You do whatever the fuck you want. Just know I’m warning you, keeping her around is not a good idea. This is still my pack. I’m Alpha. Jo is Luna. We have a responsibility to everyone we look after and right now? That doesn’t include whoever she is and it mayneverinclude her.”
“Yeah…”
I stood to leave but not before asking the question that had been pushing through my mind. “Where is she?”
“Your cabin out on our property. She moved into a unit here in the building on the floor below us to make it easier for all of us to help with Rafe, but after what transpired tonight she wanted distance. I can’t blame her and neither can you. When she needs space she goes to your cabin. To be honest, I think it’s more about having a place to connect with you.”
I nodded and left. It was time to be officially introduced to my son.
Chapter3
Toyin.
“Toy, what can I do?” When Jo stepped close to me I glanced at Rafe who was sleeping peacefully in his pack and play.
“Nothing, I’m fine. You both can head back to the city.”
I smiled weakly at Zion and Jo. While Zion was pecking away on his phone, Jo continued staring at me for a moment longer. She tucked a few loose strands of her auburn hair behind her ear. A reflection of her inner wolf.
She was a hybrid wolf as well. A beautiful and rare red wolf. They all fit. This woman who was with Xanderfit. I was the outsider. The thought had me cringing internally. Another reason why Xander and I were here, in this very place of conflict. We weren’t meant to be and I forced the issue.
“Zion, will you wait for me in the car? I need a moment with Toy.”
“What’s wrong?” His eyes shot up from his phone and across the living room where they landed on the two of us.
“Nothing. I just need a minute to say a few things,privately.”
“You can say whatever you need to with me here. My brother is an ass for leaving like he is for showing up with another woman…”
“A wolf,” I corrected because let’s face it, she was one of them. I was the outsider.
