Chapter Fifteen
Alphonso
“How did you convince Pop to comeback to Vale Valley?” Alphonso asked his dad Synder.
He was watching his father Kayne and Rosemary reconnect, knowing they were still dealing with a lot of hurt emotions.
“Your question makes it sound like you’re not happy to see us,” Synder said.
“Don’t be crazy, dad, of course, I’m happy to see you.” Alphonso reached over and hugged his dad. “But seriously, how did you do it?” He asked pulling back from their hug.
“When were you going to tell us that your mate was attacked and that he’s pregnant?” Kayne asked walking over to where he and Synder were standing.
“How did you know he was attacked and pregnant?”
“Your uncle LaMarkus called us,” Synder answered. “Speaking of which, where is your mate?”
“He’s in the other room with Bedwyr, I think seeing you and your mom make up made them realize they needed some father-son time,” Nicholas said coming over to them. “I’m Nicholas DiMarco.”
“Nice to meet you,” Kayne said. "Did they have a falling out after just finding each other?”
“Not really,“ Alphonso told Kayne. “They just have a few things they needed to work out.”
“All right. So, does someone want to fill us in on what’s going on?” Kayne said.
“I told you everything over the phone, big bro,” LaMarkus said walking over to stand beside them.
“Yeah, you did, but I want to know if there’s been any development since last night,” Kayne told him.
“There’s nothing new to report. Whoever attacked Sirius knew not to leave any evidence behind,” LaMarkus explained.
“Not to point fingers at just anyone, but have you guys thought that this could be a witch?” Synder said.
“I’ve thought the same thing,” Bedwyr said as he and Sirius entered the room. “I can only account for the witches that stayed behind for the festivities after the ritual.”
Instantly, Alphonso walked over to his mate. “Are you doing okay?”
“Yeah, Bedwyr and I are going to give the whole father-son thing a real try. It’s only fair since I’m about to be a father and it looks as if he’s just as clueless as to why my mother skipped town. I doubt we’ll ever find out why she left, but for now, I want to get to know the one parent I have left.”
“I think that is a good idea.”
“You guys still have those wild orgies?” Alphonso heard his dad Kayne ask.
“Of course, sometimes it’s the perfect way to let off pent up magical energy,” Nicholas said with a chuckle.
“Maybe next time you would like to join in,” Naheem said.
At that Alphonso turned to see the scowl on Synder’s face and wasn’t sure if Naheem was going to get his ass kicked or killed.
“I don’t share,” Synder growled and bared his fangs.
Everyone should know it’s never wise to fuck with a vampire’s mate. And apparently, Naheem didn’t get the memo.
“Who said anything about sharing, I just want to watch y—”
“Naheem, that’s enough,” Bedwyr snapped. “I apologize for his comments, at times he lets his mouth run away with him.”
His dad Synder bowed his head accepting Bedwyr’s apology. “All I ask is that you teach him properly. It is only out of the respect of my mother-in-law that I didn’t spill his blood.”
