There was a longing on the other man’s face that Alphonso couldn’t read.
“It was until we moved away. Actually, I just got back to town after for a long time. I wanted to reconnect with my family.”And any plans I had of leaving town are completely out the window, now that I’ve found you.
“Why would anyone want to leave a place where they can be who they are without being judged?”
“Family drama,” Alphonso answered.
“Yeah, that would do it.”
“I take it you’re not from Vale Valley?”
“No, I just moved here on faith that I’d get the job I applied, and I guess luck was on my side because I got the job.”
“Congratulations,” Alphonso said then a thought came to him. “Where are you going to be working?”
“At the hospital. I’m a doctor,” he said proudly.
“So that means you’re a witch doctor.”
The other man threw his head back and barked out a laugh, and it was the sweetest thing he’d ever heard.
“I’d never been called that before.” He stopped laughing and gazed at Alphonso getting a bit close to his personal space. “And you’re a werewolf.”
“And a vampire, I’m one of the few that can shift into both forms.”
“That’s very interesting. Does that mean you want to suck my blood?” he asked trying to sound like the human version of Dracula.
Oh, baby that’s not all I want to suck.Alphonso thought but, instead, he chuckled at his mate’s silliness.
Alphonso contemplated if he should be direct with the other man or skirt around the issue. He was never one to beat around the bush. But Alphonso had a feeling he needed to approach the subject of mates delicately with the gorgeous man walking beside him.
They entered the crepe shop, and he was greeted with the scent of freshly baked pastries, chocolates, and fruits.
“Sirius, I see that you’re back again,” the guy behind the counter said.
Sirius, that’s his name.
“Ren, I think I’ve become addicted to your crepes. So addicted that I brought a friend with me this time.”
“Really and who might that be?” Ten asked.
“Wen,” Tamia pipped in lifting her head off Alphonso’s shoulder. She had been very quiet while he and Sirius spoke.
“If it isn’t my new favorite customer.”
“So, you’re Ren? My grandmother can’t stop gushing about you. Kind of made me a bit jealous that you charmed the two favorite women in my life.”
Ren chuckled. “Awe, don’t feel so bad. I think they only like me for my sweet treats.”
“Maybe, but it’s nice to meet you, and congratulations by the way. Nana told me you’re expecting your first child.”
Ren rubbed his small bump and smiled. “Thank you,” he said just as Sirius said. “You’re pregnant?”
“Yeah, Max and I are walking on cloud nine right now.”
Alphonso turned and looked at Sirius who seemed to be in complete shock.Why is he in shock? Is he pregnant and it’s just hitting him? Oh gods, is he already with someone?
“How…I mean how are you feeling?” Sirius asked.
