A THOUSAND KISSES

Blake put down her baby on his crib, he stared at him coldly, even though his son gave him his toothless smile and stretched out his hand to reach him, wanting to be hugged by his father again.

Coldness crept on his face, as his eyes dimmed.

Beta Jason had told him no need to drink the Rottingbane anymore and he only needed to wait until tomorrow to be able to shift into his beast. He could rush back to the capital city to find Dawn and ditch his ceremony with Emily.

But…

Blake had tried it once and it failed. He wouldn't fall into the same mistake for the second time.

His father wanted him to be the alpha of this pack. That was a good start too…

======================================= 

After Dawn met with Aurel, thankfully, the next person that she met was Zenith.
