When we get to Ryker’s, all of the alphas are there. I don’t know who all is inside, but I can feel their power and all the wolves around us, protecting the perimeter. My brother, Micah, and my sister, with little Asher are the only ones on the front porch. I get out of Cedric’s truck and rush over to kiss my nephew on the cheek. He has the signature look of an arctic with his blond hair and clear blue eyes. He smiles, and it warms my heart. “You are just the cutest thing.” I wink at my sister. “He’s going to be a heartbreaker.” Bailey snorts. “Yes, I know.” She gives me a side hug and sighs. “I wanted to come out and say hey to you before the meeting. It’s time for Asher’s afternoon feeding and a nap.” I nod. “I’ll say goodbye to you before I leave.” She smiles and carries Asher inside.
