Standing next to the rear door of their vehicle, Daniel looked over at Vaya who had a distant look on her face.
‘Penny for your thoughts?’ he whispered, making the young dryad start in surprise.
Shaking her head, Vaya smiled, ‘it’s nothing really . . it’s just, when I took Olivia to the bathroom to help her, it didn’t feel weird, it felt . . natural’ she confessed blushing slightly.
Laughing, Daniel kissed her temple softly, ‘that’s because you are a mum, and that is the kind of thing a mum does’ he replied with a grin.
‘I’m not a mum yet’ Vaya protested
‘But you are becoming one, your instincts are kicking in to protect pups, no matter who they belong too’ Daniel replied happily.
Snuggling into the warrior’s chest, Vaya contemplated his words silently.
‘What is the plan now Alpha?’
