169 A difficult choice

After calming down and solving the tension with his mate, Nate remembered he had mistreated Samantha before getting out.

«Oh, damn,» he whispered. «Let's go eat that cake, and then I can look for Sam.»

«Why?» Jaden inquired, lifting his arms to help being carried. Just like that, Nate held one pup per arm. It wasn't even the first time, but it felt like a new experience.

Maybe, it was because of the ease with which the pups had accepted his help.

«I need to talk with her,» Nate sighed.

He wasn't willing to admit for a second time that he had acted harshly. Lara and the pups might have thought he was the kind of person to take out his rage on whoever happens to meet him.

«Will she eat the cake with us?» said Scarlet, peeking at Nate's expression.
