Chapter Sixty – Learning To Be A Dad

last update Last Updated: 2024-08-27 15:12:27

Leandros’s POV

It was easier said than done. I gaped at the basket in my arms helplessly. A newborn baby girl gazed back at me with so much love, it took my breath away. Michael sat with me carrying the other basket with my baby boy while Alexandrios sat in front carrying my other son.

“Where to, Leandros?” asked Orion as he got into the driver’s seat. I gave him a lost look. What would I do with them if I took them home? I could conquer the world, but I didn’t know how to take care of a newborn baby, let alone three! Heck, I didn’t have boobs to produce their food!

What would I feed them?

“I, umm, don’t know! I don’t have breast milk! What else can I feed them? There’s nothing at home and all shops have closed down by now.” They gaped at me, equally at a loss.

“I might have formula milk in the neonatal section of the hospital. Do you want me to get you some? I could send a nurse,” offered Alexandrios.

Zephyrus came towards our car and leaned in to check up on me. He noticed the

    Leandros’s POV “How long are you planning to stay in Alpha Zephyrus’s house?” asked Michael as he helped me buy the baby stuff from his departmental store in Lucania. Even Orion and Stavros were there to help me or I would have been totally lost. Stavros, with his experience, suggested the stuff he had bought for Hazel. He knew exactly what I might need. “I haven’t planned a thing yet. I’m just going with the flow. Once the nursery is set up, I’ll look for a full-time nanny to take care of them while I’m at work. I have no idea where to look for a nanny.” “I’ll have a word with Carla at the packhouse. She knows almost every female wolf, young and old, in the pack. Maybe we can find someone for you,” suggested Stavros. “She was the one who sent Hazel a reliable nanny for our pups.” “Great then. I’ll have a word with her today.” I had no idea how long it would take to fix the nursery. We loaded all our purchases in our cars and headed to my house. I was thankful to the three of them

    Lyra’s POV After Four YearsThe flight landed in Yellowknife. I collected my luggage and looked around for my uncle. It had been four years since I left this city, but nothing seemed to have changed much here.I hadn’t returned to Yellowknife in the last four years, since my term break always coincided with Hera’s birthday. My uncle always invited Zephyrus and his friends to celebrate Hera’s birthday, and I had no wish to face them, especially Leandros and his chosen mate. Therefore, it was better to stay away. The first few times, my uncle and Hera called me to coax me to come home, but I was adamant. As the years passed by, they gave up on me. I was fine with it, studying hard to prove myself. My hard work paid off, and I topped the university in my batch. It helped me bag the best internship opportunity in the famous fashion house, Mackenzie’s, headquartered in Yellowknife. So here I was in Yellowknife, all excited to join my first job. Although my uncle didn’t approve of my pla

    Lyra’s POV “I’m not serving another business, Uncle Felixe. I’m learning the tricks of the trade from the best in the industry. Soon I will be ready to apply the knowledge I gained and build my fashion brand. I know we have a successful business of our own, but it doesn’t cater to fashion design or I would have joined it already!” “She’s right, Felixe. Please, can we make peace and have lunch together? Lyra, come to the table. I’ve made your favorites,” said Hera, intervening in time. With both of us stubborn and hot-headed, it was the only way out of the situation. The doorbell rang and Granny Ebony and Stella arrived with loads of shopping bags. “Oh, you’ve arrived! I was hurrying back to meet you, Lyra.”“How have you been granny? It feels so good to see you.” I hugged her and she, too, returned my gesture. “So, where are you coming from? What are in all these bags?” Stella carried them inside while Hera and Uncle Felixe shared a look of alarm. “Oh, it’s for the party!” said Gr

    Lyra’s POV As I lay down to sleep, I was in a dilemma. There was no other way out than to agree to return home the next morning. If Uncle Felixe could find out my mentor’s phone number, he could also get me out of this hotel. I wondered if Leandros were coming at all. Had they not invited him? Had my uncle insulted him for what he did to me? What other reason could be for him not to turn up for Hera’s birthday? He was quite close to Hera. After a fitful sleep the next morning, I trudged home. It was Saturday and my office was closed for the weekend. With Hera’s birthday the next day, I had no way of escape. The moment I parked the car, the chaos inside the house made me dread going inside. I had no contact with my friends from Lucania for the last four years. What if they bore a grudge against me? I was socially awkward and couldn’t do small talk to salvage a situation. Still, I trudged in gingerly, smiling at the entire crowd gathered in the living room. Thankfully, my uncle was

Everyone was busy tending to the battalion of pups and no one noticed us. “So, where’s this Purple Beats of yours?” asked Granny as we got into her car. “Downtown, near Mackenzie’s.” She drove on and I smiled, feeling free. “Drink in moderation. We have to return home and face your hot-headed uncle.” We chuckled at the description, all the way enacting Uncle Felixe’s reaction to our escapade. It was so hilarious, we were soon laughing to our heart’s content. We reached the club and walked in with confidence. Although my last experience was bitter, this time I wasn’t underage anymore. The bouncers winked at Granny Ebony as they allowed us inside. I chuckled at her antics, and soon we were negotiating our way through the crazy club crowd. Granny Ebony nudged the creepy guys aside with her elbows as she made way for me. As if I were still underage! We booked ourselves a tab

    Leandros’s POV I gazed at my mate in my arms, and my heart skipped a beat with excitement. It had been so long since I had seen her, let alone hold her so close in my arms. I had stopped hoping for her years ago, although Leo howled in pain every night lying alone in my bed at night. I tried hard to ignore the pain in my heart, overworking myself every day to the limit. Now, holding her in my arms healed the dull ache in my heart, and the longing in my soul, but only momentarily. I knew I would have to release her soon. My parched eyes drank her in. She had grown so beautiful, her body filling up in the right places. It was almost as if I was holding someone else rather than my little mate! She wasn’t little anymore but seductively curvaceous, taking my breath away.Relief washed over me, knowing I could rescue her just in time from the clutches of Nick Berkeley. It was like history repeating itself, only this time she wasn’t in her senses to interact with me. “Let us go. You have

    Lyra’s POV I stirred, turning over and trying to open my bleary eyes. My head felt heavy, like a block of wood, but it was the searing headache that made me wince. What had they mixed in my drink to make me feel this way? A shudder went down my spine at the thought of what could have happened to me. Was it a nightmare? I opened my eyes and found myself in my bedroom, safe and sound. Yet the splitting headache and the horrible taste in my mouth were proof that it wasn’t a nightmare. Last night I went to Purple Beats after Granny incited me. Nick and his friends had harassed me and spiked my drink. If Leandros hadn’t arrived on time, I would have been abused and left to die! I sprang from the bed with a start as realization hit me hard.Leandros had saved me. Leandros was here. Despite the throbbing in my head, I staggered to the washroom to freshen up. I wanted to fix myself up before going out to thank him. Did Uncle Felixe find out about our late-night escapade? I was totally out

    Leandros’s POV I could sense her presence behind me, her scent penetrating into my mind and body forcefully. I had no control over the mate bond attracting me towards her. Yes, despite the years that have passed by, she was still my one and only mate. She might have forgotten me, but I was still stuck four years ago to the day she rejected me. “I’m so happy that you came back for Hera’s sake, Leandros. She was too upset since morning,” said Lena and I sighed. If Felixe, Derrick, and Zephyrus hadn’t come over to my studio apartment this morning to get me, I would have reached home by now. “Yes, she wanted Felixe to cancel this party,” said Zephyrus, looking over my shoulder at Lyra. I dreaded turning around to face her. Last night was different. She was almost on the verge of losing her consciousness. “How are you feeling now, Lyra?” asked Zephyrus and my breath hitched as a feeling of intense need coursed through my body. It was the need to claim my mate as mine. She was a gift fr

We stopped him, but he paid no heed to us. At midnight he went to the airport informing no one. Only when we received a phone call from the traffic police, we knew he had met with an accident on the way.” I gasped in horror, clutching Leandros’s hand. “Accident? Why didn’t you inform me? Was he critical? How is he, Uncle Derrick?” Tears streamed down my cheeks as I stuttered with guilt. No wonder he didn’t call me. How could I be so selfish? How did I not understand the consequences of my actions? “He was critical, but miraculously, it was just some broken bones and whiplash. He’s undergoing rigorous therapy every day. Today Hera has taken him to the hospital for a checkup. Please come inside. They should be here any minute.” Guilt ate me up, and I dreaded meeting them. It was because of me they had to go thro

    Lyra’s POV I followed him outside to see a brand-new stunning blue Ford pickup truck on our snow-covered driveway. A gasp escaped my lips. “For you,” said Leandros, handing me the keys. “Wow! I can’t believe it, Leandros. Thank you for buying me my first car!” I had been driving my uncle’s cars or hitching a ride all my life. Now, I had a car of my own. “Oh! I’m honored to be the first and only one to buy you a car.” He opened the door and showed me the interiors. The triplets too came out to check. “Will you now come to school every day to pick us up, Mom?” asked Lucius. I smiled and nodded at them. “We’ll head to Hungry Wolf tomorrow after school.” “Yay! Can we have pizza, please?” asked Liana. “Yes, please. We’ve never eaten out,” said Lazarus. I looked at Leandros, seeking permission to take them out. Maybe he didn’t want them to eat out. “Sure, go ahead. I might join you too,” said Leandros with a chuckle. Throughout dinner, the pups couldn’t control their excitement. Hu

    Lyra’s POV The next morning, I got sucked into the mad rush of the morning. Getting the triplets ready for school was no mean task. Leandros helped me in every way he could, and finally, all five of us were ready to go out. “Mom, are you coming to school too?” asked Lazarus, watching me from the back seat. “No, Lazer. I’ll just drop you off at school and go to the marketplace with your dad.” Lazarus preferred the nickname and calling him Lazer was a sure-shot way to please him. “Why, Mom? Are you planning to join Dad’s company?” asked Lucius. “No, son. Your mom is planning to start her own business, her own fashion house,” answered Leandros on my behalf. The boys gave me jaw-dropped looks. “What’s a fashion house?” asked Lazarus while Liana rolled her eyes at him. “Don’t you know what a fashion house is? I swear you’re dumb. It’s a shop full of clothes. Mom wants to make clothes for all of us in Lucania,” she explained, and I smiled at her simple explanation. “Yes, you’re righ

    Lyra’s POV He slid down my body, licking every curve as he traveled down my stomach. A gasp escaped my lips, wondering what he was planning to do. Breathless with excitement, I raised myself up on my elbows to see what he’d do next. This was a novel experience for me and my body went into overdrive at his slightest touch. He chuckled to see my reaction as he moved his mouth lower. “What are you doing, Leandros?” I didn’t need to wait for an answer. A deep moan escaped my mouth when he buried his face between my thighs and licked my p*ssy. I fell back on the bed as my head spun with pleasure. His mouth was too much to handle, and it sent erotic tingles all over my body. “Oh! Don’t stop! Please!” I gripped his hair to push him closer, wanting him to give me my first release. His tongue was relentless, licking and stroking my cl*t until I was on the verge of a release. The powerful thrusts of his tongue intensified, and I could feel the pressure slowly build up inside me. I ground my

    Leandros’s POV It was a lazy Sunday, and we spent it in fishing and skiing with the triplets. Lyra packed up enough food to have a picnic by the frozen lake in our backyard. The pups enjoyed a sunny day outdoors until they were exhausted. It was something they had never done in the last four years, as Sunday meant pack meetings for me. Therefore, it was a relief that Zeph had wrapped up all meetings on Saturday. It left me free to enjoy with my family. Lyra’s laughter and exuberance were so infectious that the pups and I caught on by the end of the day. The result of our fun-filled outing was amazing. The pups bonded with Lyra so well that they started addressing her mom. My mind was now at peace seeing my pups find their mom in Lyra. She deserved it for everything she did for the pups ever since she moved in. She had no anger or resentment for having to look after the triplets. Although it was a monumental task, she did it spontaneously, with a smile on her face. Taking care of the

    Lyra’s POV Growling in his throat, my mate’s hot, wet mouth covered the mark, licking and sucking wildly. It set my body on fire, as moisture leaked from my p*ssy, soaking my panties. I cried out as he tortured me with his wicked mouth, stroke after stroke. Arching against him, I ground my hips against his thick erection! The mark was like an external erogenous zone! I sucked in a deep breath and pushed at his chest. “My turn now!” I muttered, controlling the urge to take off my clothes and ride him like there was no tomorrow. I pushed him down on the bed while he watched me with an amused look on his face. “Are you planning to really mark me, little mate?” The annoying nickname urged me to prove him wrong. I had to prove I wasn’t little anymore. Yes, I was inexperienced, but definitely I wasn’t a little wolf. “It’s time to prove I’m not little anymore!” I lay between his legs and reached out to his neck. His breath hitched as he gazed at me with delirious eyes! “Interesting! I’m

    Lyra’s POV Before I could get up, he crashed his mouth to mine, sitting on the sofa and pulling me onto his lap. It was the kiss I had been dying for since the fleeting kiss he gave me on Hera’s birthday. I had no idea what had stopped him from kissing me last night, but I was glad he overcame all his inhibitions. He clasped the back of my head, holding me still while his tongue worked on my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck and melted against his body, sinking into his warm embrace. His mouth was hard, hot, and possessive as it plundered my secret recesses, plunging deep into my parted mouth. I sighed, surrendering to him. His scent was driving me insane. The kiss was enough to make me want him to the point of no return. Then all I could do was contemplate shoving him down on the sofa, pulling his pants down, and riding him until we both climaxed! I pulled him closer and kissed him back, running my hands around his broad back to feel the muscles rippling under my touch. I ha

    Leandros’s POV A soft pat on my cheek woke me up from the best sleep of my life. I opened my eyes only to find Liana hovering over me. “Wake up Dad! We’re late for school!” I sat up with a start and looked out of the window. The bright morning sun made me blink with panic. How did I sleep so late? “Gosh, Liana! How will we ever get ready today?” I jumped out of bed and then I remembered Lyra. Where was she? Hadn’t she slept with me last night? I remembered confessing everything to her. She promised to stay with me forever! Was it all a dream? Or did she leave me again? Maybe she had second thoughts this morning and left before I woke up. “Dad, what are you thinking about? You need to get us ready!” prodded Liana with a groan. I quickly freshened up and rushed out to the kitchen. To my immense surprise, I found the boys in the breakfast nook in the kitchen, tucking into eggs, bacon, and toast! Liana was busy scolding them for not getting ready yet while they turned a deaf ear to he

    Lyra’s POV He released a staggering breath and got up as if dismissing me. After knowing everything about him, didn’t he realize I was here to stay? I wouldn’t go anywhere now. “I’m sorry you had to go through so much, Leandros! Why didn’t you correct me before?” I didn’t budge from his bed. I intended to stay here in his house and share his bedroom with him. After his confession, there wasn’t a doubt about what I wanted to do. I would surrender myself to my mate for life. “I was mentally disturbed after the abuse. I wasn’t sure you would want such an abused mate. You didn’t deserve a mate like me. Your uncle hated me and pushed me away from you. I went into a severe depression, but thankfully my close friends stood by me. The pups depended on me and I bounced back only for them. You wanted to know the truth, and I bared my soul in front of you. I would understand if you don’t want to be with me. I swear I won’t bear a grudge. You’re free to move on, Lyra.” With his back to me, he
