I’m perfectly fine on my own. – Xander
I smiled at the arrogance in his tone and stance. Even in wolf form he asserted his dominance.
You telling me not to worry? – Me
I’m telling you your man can handle himself. Go inside. I won’t be long. – Xander.
I exhaled and nodded, heading to the house after grabbing Rafe’s bag from the truck. Xander remained on guard until we were safely inside. I watched from the window as he took off into the woods, running with power and speed. Again, beautiful.
“I can’t wait to see you out there running freely with your father.” Rafe clapped and his eyes glowed brighter with a red ring lining them. He was of a royal pure bloodline which meant he was born an alpha like his father and uncles and it showed.
“Oh God, I’m not ready for this.” He leaned into me, laughing like he knew exactly what I meant. Based on this kid’s DNA I was sure he did.

A few hours later,Xander came in from the woods. He showered and changed while I made us an early dinner. We ate and settled into the living room to let Rafe play for a while before I bathed him for bed.
Just like when we arrived, watching Xander with our son felt like this was how things were always supposed to be, but I couldn’t help but wonder if he had regrets even in the slightest way. Our differences never bothered me, but I considered they might bother him.
“Are you disappointed that I’ll never get to experience that side of you?”
Xander pushed the plastic truck he and Rafe were playing with toward our son who grabbed it and crawled off, pushing it against the base of the sofa.
“What side of me?”
“Your wolf.”
He smirked and shook his head. “Why would I? You get to experience him in different ways.”
My body heated at the reference.Sexually.
“But I can’t shift and change, like you. I won’t get to run wild out there like Laz and Jo can…”
He reached for me and lifted us both, adjusting our position until I was on my back and he was planked above me. My head turned to where Rafe was clumsily walking around, babbling about his truck.
“He’s fine and so are we. We’re not Laz and Jo. Our lives won’t be the same as theirs and I’m perfectly content with what we are, Toy.”
“Are you sure? That’s an important part of your life, of who you are.”
He lowered his face, brushing his lips over mine. “It’s who I am. So yes it’s important but it’s notallthat I am. I’m yours. Every part of me belongs toyou. My life as it is now and my wolf. You get all of me, same as I get all of you. So no, I’m not disappointed and I’ll never be.”
“Promise?”
“Promise.” He kissed me deeply, only pulling back when little feet rushed our way.
“Shit.” Xander grimaced and glanced at Rafe who smiled devilishly when his father looked his way. “You want me to leave your mother alone?”
I smiled when the truck Rafe was holding came crashing down on Xander’s back again. “Mm, I think that’s a yes.”
Xander kissed me once more then lifted from over me, scooping Rafe into his arms. He turned onto his back and tossed him in the air a few times to Rafe’s delight then lowered him to his chest.
“You win for now, Wild One, but later, she’s all mine.”
I barked a laugh when his little face frowned. I swore this kid understood us.
“Oh, he didn’t like that at all.”
Xander swung his head to the side and winked at me. “Too bad because there isn’t a damn thing he can do about it.”
