Paige's POV
I cuddled baby Asher closer to my chest, inhaling his sweet scent - a perfect blend of Noah's cedar and my wild orchids, with an innocent milky undertone that all wolf pups carried.
I hid baby Asher from the world. I don't want to let Noah know about him. I don't want to lose my son. If Noah discovers his existence, he’ll invoke Alpha prerogative to take him from me.According to werewolf pack law, an Alpha's heir is considered pack property. I cannot obtain custody of Asher.
After everything I'd lost - my parents, my aunt Precy, my other baby Liam - losing Asher would destroy me completely. The mate bond with Noah might be rejected, but the pup bond with my son was sacred and unbreakable. I'd rather live a lie than live a miserable life without my son.
My wolf, Ti
