now.
    Nevertheless, he couldn’t exactly say “no.” First of all, Brody would realize something wasn’t quite right, and second, he didn’t want to. He joined the kids and Shiloh and sat cross-legged on the floor. A few seconds later, Angel pounced on him with his typical The Wolf Who Hatched an Egg

    enthusiasm. “Uncle Liam! You were gone a long time. Where were you?”
    Liam chuckled and stole a look at Shiloh, uncertain as to what to say. His mate had wanted to keep their meeting under wraps, and Liam wasn’t sure if he should mention it. “Your uncle Liam met up with me, Angel,” Shiloh helped him.
    It seemed Shiloh wouldn’t deny their meeting and contact. Well, that would be easier to work with, at least. “Yup,” he added. “But you have me all to yourself now.”
    Angel laughed, and Liam began to tickle his friend’s son. “Who’s my little tyrant?”
    The four of them played together for a few minutes until, finally, Brody appeared in the room. “Dinner’s ready. Come along, kids.
    Let’s go wash up.”
    Angel and Clark obediently followed after Brody and left the room. With the children gone, awkwardness fell between Liam and Shiloh. They got up and stared at each other.
    “I think—” Liam began to say.
    At the same time, Shiloh spoke as well, “Maybe—”
    They stopped, stared at each other some more, and then Liam took a deep breath and added, “You go first.”
    “No, that’s fine,” Shiloh said. “You first.”
    Liam would have insisted, but he knew they could just go on like this forever without achieving a result. He’d originally intended to say they should go wash up, too, but now, he figured he could use this opportunity to apologize. “About earlier…I didn’t mean to offend you.”
    Shiloh sighed. “Look, I already said it’s fine. Besides, I don’t walk to talk about that. Come on. We should get ready for dinner as well.”
    Liam would have laughed at the fact that obviously they’d been thinking the same thing, but Shiloh’s dismissive attitude cut into his 36

    heart. He had his work cut out for him if he was going to get his mate to forgive him.
    A few minutes later, they all sat down at the dinner table. Carson and Brody had cooked a delicious meal, adding great desserts to the main course. Liam noticed absently that Brody nibbled on some veggies and Carson added a bit of meat to his plate. He hid a smile when he realized the effort his friends were making to make their children feel right at home. The children seemed to know it as well, because at one point, Clark snatched the piece of meat off of Carson’s plate and gulped it down, grinning.
    “The steak’s delicious, Papa. Thanks.”
    Carson snickered at his precocious child. “I can’t win with you, can I?”
    Observing the happy family made confused emotions swirl through Liam. By accident or by design, Shiloh was seated right across from him, and Liam couldn’t help but steal the occasional glance at his mate. Sometimes, he thought Shiloh was doing the same thing. Liam wondered what Shiloh saw when he looked at Brody and Carson with their kids. Did he imagine himself with a family like Liam did?
    The warm atmosphere kept the strange situation between Liam and Shiloh from manifesting, and the dinner passed without incident.
    After clearing the table, all of them went outside and changed into animal form. They did it step-by-step, so as not to take the kids by surprise, and Liam understood his friends were getting their kids used to other shifters.
    Despite being the only bird, Shiloh didn’t look uncomfortable at all. He allowed the small lion cub and the antelope to sniff him, flapping his huge wings around from time to time, much to the children’s delight.
    Liam just watched them, his beast yearning for Shiloh. He wanted to claim his mate, to bring their bodies together, to fuck him until neither of them could walk. But at the same time, he wanted a future The Wolf Who
