Achilles snorted. “You stripped him of his glamour?”

Dante chuckled. “I did. This is the form she knew him in, so this is how he should be recognized.”

Keres turned with her mates to watch the stunned man look toward them. There was confusion and then a wide grin as he charged for Achilles. He hugged him and said, “General. They said you made it out in that first wave. I hadn’t dared to hope.”

Keres looked at him. “Pardon us for interrupting your workout. About eight years ago, did you get a concubine pregnant?”

Estelle jolted at the question.

The man looked at Keres and frowned. “Who are you?”

Dante chuckled. “The opener of doors. The first wave. Our mate. The warrior in loss.”

The other male looked at her and bowed. “Lady. Pardon. I was told you were shorter.”

She smirked. “I was. I grew. Not an Elite concubine, but an Elite omega. This is what all those women could have become. Might still become if they want to.”

Estelle asked, “How?”

“Oh, I just have to remove the toxins and help your body do what it wants. No lie. It’s gonna hurt.”

The new male looked at Estelle and did a double take. “Moonlight?”

Estelle blushed a vivid red. “Yes, I didn’t really get your name.”

He stepped toward her, and Tobin shot between them with his arms out. “Don’t touch my mom!”

The man crouched and looked at Tobin. Aside from the shade difference, the features were the same but scaled down. “Is that your mom?”

Tobin was positively bristling. “Yes. Who are you?”

Estelle put her hand on her son’s shoulder. “Tobin, that’s your father.”

“My name is Ekhart Falls. I am pleased to meet you. What’s your name?”

Tobin was a slave to his manners and stuck his hand out. “I’m Tobin.”

Ekhart placed his hand out, palm up, and his fingers still dwarfed Tobin’s hand. He squatted down. “I am pleased to meet you, Tobin. I am Ekhart.”

He frowned. “I can’t call adults by their names.”

“Call him Mr. Falls,” Estelle murmured.

Ekhart smiled. “That or sir or hey mister.”

Tobin smiled shyly. “You know my mom?”

“Yeah, I do. We met before you were born. If I had known you were with her, I would have been right beside her when you arrived in the world.” He glanced at Estelle.

Estelle was lost in his gaze. Whatever had been between them had not been traumatic.

He got to his feet, and Tobin looked up at him. “Am I gonna get that big?”

Ekhart grinned. “We can hope, but you will be an alpha. That is certain.”

Tobin nodded. “I know. All the girls chase me all the time.” He sighed.

Ekhart rubbed the back of his neck. “That is a side effect of our bloodline. The ladies chase us.”
