You did say you wanted a large family, Sebastian snickered above them. Liam stilled. Reality
hit. They would have a child living with them again. It had been so long since Kyle had joined them,
and he was practically a teenager when he moved in. This boy was eight. Liam would bet that he still
believed in Santa Claus. Christmas! They were going to have so much fun shopping.
What did you just think of that has you glowing from the inside out? Kent asked. Lachlan
chuckled.
He must be thinking about Christmas. It s his favorite holiday. Every year his parents would
take off to go skiing, leaving him with the Arkadions. He looked forward to Christmas every year,
Lachlan said.
You knew? Liam asked, surprised that his grandfather knew what his parents were really like.
Where do you think your presents came from? You didn t know? he asked at Liam s surprised
expression. Then Lachlan shook his head.
Never mind, you were never supposed to know. He sighed.
Liam, I ve known since you were very small how your parents treated you. As much as it
pained me as a parent to admit that my only son would ever hurt his child, I knew it would kill me if
he ever did. Think about it, Liam, if I had shown you any kind of favor growing up, what would your
father have done? Lachlan asked.
Nothing, but I would have probably died in a horrible accident, Liam admitted. Sebastian
gasped.
Exactly. I may have announced you as my heir last night, but your name has been on my will for
almost twenty years. Lachlan said sadly.
We re going to have real Christmases in this house again, hopefully I ll be invited. Lachlan
winked.
Of course you re invited, Sebastian said, kissing the tops of Liam and Kent s heads before
walking back to the stove.
When is the boy coming here? Liam asked, turning to Kent.
Not until next year. His uncle, Pierce Johansen, will be dropping him off here before heading
up to Arkadiatown in Massachusetts. They aren t able to come sooner since Pierce is under contract
designing a city center down there. They have moved out of the pride and they are staying with the
local wolf pack. The wolves don t seem to have problems with their pack members being gay. Kent
said.
Do you think he ll want a race car bed or a Batman bed? Liam asked, rubbing his hands
together.
Maybe he ll like books instead. We could get him a Kindle or an iPad, Kent said, smiling.
We should start shopping now& I said the S word and Rian didn t jump me. Now that I think
about it, it s been really quiet, where is he? Liam asked, looking around.
I think he was afraid you would rescind your offer for a new phone. He and Damian were up at
the crack of dawn heading to Johnny s, Sebastian said, walking over with platter for the table.
It s just crepes, some are sweet and some are savory. I didn t know what everyone would
want. Sebastian twisted the kitchen towel in his hands.
I m sure it s perfect, Liam said and lifted the fork to his lips. The next second Kent put his
fork on the table and was out of his chair. Chewing and laughing, he swung their mate around.
It s elicious. My mate is a genius. Kent kissed him and set him back down before returning to
his breakfast. Liam hurried up and took his bite. He had gotten a strawberry and cream cheese one,
and the flavors exploded across his taste buds.
Amazing, right? Kent said, inhaling his.
What did you get? Liam asked, digging into his plate.
Feta and spinach, Kent said with a mouthful.
I m glad you like them. After breakfast we can go shopping. What was his name, Kent?
Sebastian asked.
Brendan Walters. You guys go ahead into town. I m going to stay up here and finish up
Brendan s transfer paperwork, Kent said between mouthfuls. Liam frowned.
Maybe I should do that, being Alpha and all, Liam offered. Kent looked up at him and raised a
dark eyebrow.
I d like to get the poor child to Arkadia before he turns eighteen, Liam. Kent finished his plate
and Lachlan chuckled.
He knows you so well already. Liam eyed his mate.
I know that it requires my signature, Liam grumbled.
That s okay, my love, I ve been forging your signature since the day I took over finances. I sign
your name better than you do. Kent stood and leaned over to kiss Liam, then Sebastian, before
picking up his folder and returning to the office.
That young man will go far. Lachlan smiled into his juice, and Liam grunted.
I m going to go up and change, then we can go. Sebastian finished drying the frying pan he had
washed and wiped his hands on a dish towel.
