Chapter 470 Alpha Woods's daughter
Renato didn't dislike the pups from Norwich.
Oddly enough, even their territoriality didn't annoy him. Oh, his pups were going to be Alpha's pups. Were they going to protect their mother even from him? He wouldn't mind it, though.
Who wouldn't want Samantha all to themself?
However, the thought of all the struggles Woods had gone through to get his mate made him chuckle. Those small things thought they could protect their mother from their father... It was so hilarious that he had given Scarlet a plate filled with meat just to hear her talk about her not-so-useful daddy trying to win her super-useful mommy over.
«So, now mommy and daddy are going on vocation.»
«Vacation,» he said, absent-mindedly. He didn't care enough to correct the pup's mistakes; it was just a reflex.
He could make some use of the two little attention-stealers and see what pups needed. He was almost done cooking for everyone, and Samantha and the blonde one were walking toward the kitchen one step at a time. They were attracted to the scent of food but, at the same time, didn't want to stop cuddling.
«No hugging at the table,» he decided. He said it out loud so those two could hear. His eyes had already enough; he didn't need to watch the scene while eating.
As for the little brunette, maybe he had made a mistake. He had filled her plate before dinner... But he wanted to hear everything she was willing to say!
«Oh,» he sighed, annoyed. Pups were dangerous creatures with their big eyes and apparently innocent voices.
That one was not innocent at all. She had exchanged intel for meat... And he was sure the little boy was no better. They were Alpha Woods's pups, after all. They surely would become as wicked as him, growing up.
«Uncles are a little useful,» Scarlet commented, patting on her stomach. «My daddy doesn't know how to cook.»
«I see,» Renato chuckled. He wasn't sure it was a good thing, but he took what he got. Something deep inside his heart, something instinctive and primordial told him it was a good thing that he was being accepted so simply.
After everything that took Woods to win them over, he had been lucky to know how to cook for them. Nothing elaborate, but meaty enough for wolf cubs.
«Do you also cook for aunty Sam?» Scarlet asked, moving all her attention from boasting about her daddy to inquiring about Renato's skills to become an uncle.
«I do,» he said, nodding his head.
He placed four plates on the table and prepared some salad. His mate needed vitamins, a lot of them... And the pups as well, right?
«Your aunty Sam needs to eat a lot, right?» he added. «I take care of her as much as I can.»
«That's so nice! I also want a husband who can cook when I grow up!»
«I see... Make sure to be clear about it when you meet your mate, and he will learn. Male wolves are easy to control, aren't they?»
«Hmm... How so?»
«Don't you see your daddy does everything your mommy asks? He's smitten.»
«Smitane?»
«Well... Smitten. It means charmed. In love...»
«Oh, my daddy loves my mommy very much. Mommy also loves daddy... So we have to share her with him.»
She pouted, remembering something all of a sudden.
«Now they are on vocation together. Now daddy has all of mommy for himself. He's so selfish and dropped us here with you.»
«Don't you love being with your aunty Sam?» Find your next read on empire
«She's playing with Jaden now.»
«She will find some time for you too... She's not used to dealing with twins, so she's not as capable as your mommy to split her attention into two halves. But you also have an uncle to help, so everything is fine. Isn't it?»
«Uncle...» she called, blinking harmlessly.
«Yes?»
«I am hungry.»
«You just ate a plate filled with meat,» he pointed out. «We can have dinner all together in a moment, have some patience, okay?»
«But there's a hole here,» she said, pressing her finger on her belly. «It has to be filled so I can grow up. Grandma said I need to eat a lot to become like aunty.»
«That's right... You have to eat a lot, but this is... You resemble your aunty so much. She also can eat so much without feeling filled. It's like feeding a bear, sometimes.»
«My aunty isn't a bear!»
«No, she's just a wolf. But do you girls need so many calories? What for?»
«Mommy said aunty Sam will have a baby. Maybe that is why.»
«Oh, well... I agree, but she was like this before. It's just how you are, I guess.»
«Mommy also said that the baby will be our cousin. Like aunty and daddy are.»
«That's right.»
«So, we can play together. And daddy said we should train for when he and mommy have another pup. So that we learn how to be a big sister and a big brother.»
«Your daddy told you that?» Renato chuckled. «In front of your mommy?»
«No,» Scarlet muttered. «It's our little secret. He doesn't want mommy to go choose another pup from the kindergarten again. So, he said they should have another one or two, one day. He said it's better like that.»
«Choose a pup... Is this another story of yours?»
«Oh, that was a horrible day,» Scarlet sighed.
She shook her head, remembering the pain of losing her mommy to a small, round thing. But their daddy had saved them, saying he wouldn't allow an exchange.
«But daddy said he would keep us even with a new baby. So, he will help mommy to make a new one when she wants it. So that she doesn't take one ready from the kindergarten.»
«I see. You're full of interesting stories, Scarlet. Tell me more,» he said, sitting on the table and listening to yet another adventure.
He was starting to understand those pups. They weren't all that bad, all in all.
He hoped his would be just as cute and chatty. He would have loved to talk with his daughter just like that.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
