Chapter 151: Chapter 151
Nathan was watching pups playing together on the ground, running from here and there. He couldn’t help but smile looking at them. He was planning to leave in the morning itself, but Sophia Haysbert suggested staying in the pack for a day for some rest because he had covered a journey of near about eight hours to reach here.
So, he was practically free in Calvin’s pack. That was why he was sitting on the ground and watching pups playing.
“Hey!!” He raised his head and saw Tiara Haysbert. “Mom send this for you.” Saying this, she had a cup of coffee with him.
“Thanks.” He said, taking it from her. Tiara sat beside him with her cup of coffee. “So, what are you celebrating tonight? Mrs. Haysbert said that she is throwing a small dinner tonight.” He asked, sipping his coffee.
“There are practically three things to celebrate,” Tiara replied. “First, Calvin and Ethlyn are finally not fighting,” Hearing this, Nathan chuckled. “Second that we found the gender of Lee’s pup. She is going to have a boy.”
“That’s great.”
“But dad is blaming Theodore that he didn’t try harder. Otherwise, Lee would have been pregnant with twins.” Tiara chuckled.
“But…”
“I know, that’s stupid. But that’s dad. He wants a lot of grandchildren.” Tiara said, cutting him in between. “And third is Ethlyn’s pregnancy, but she doesn’t look very much happy with that news. Let’s see what the couples decide.”
“Hmm.” He nodded his head while looking at two boys of around four to five years and a toddler. The older boy was helping his younger brother to walk.
“I think you should also think of moving on,” Tiara spoke, watching where Nathan was looking. “If you’re not planning to stay alone or are married to your work.”
“No one wants to stay alone. At least, I’m not one of them.” Nathan replied, looking at Tiara. “But at the same, I’m not ready for any woman.”
“That I can see already. You’re interested in pups, aren’t you?” Tiara asked. “I came to know about your problem. I mean, I heard how you had accused her that the pup in her womb wasn’t yours and the also fact that you couldn’t become a father.”
“You can go for adoption if you want,” Tiara suggested. “And the best part is the pups you’re looking at orphans.”
“What?” Nathan finally turned his head toward Tiara in shock.
“They are Damian’s pups. Both Damian and his mate couldn’t make it to the war. I don’t know whether you know him or not, but he was the delta of the pack.”
“I… I knew him, not personally, but he came to my pack with Rose and Zordan before.” Nathan spoke and felt bad for those pups. He watched the younger one walking slowly toward his older brother. But he fell down and started crying. “Excuse me!!” he excused himself from there and reached near them, especially near the one who was crying.

A moment later!!
Ethlyn walked out of the pack house to get Roselet because she had been playing for hours now. And that was when her eyes landed on Nathan, who was encouraging a toddler to walk with a boy of Roselet’s age. They were hooting, cheering, and clapping together while there was a big smile on that toddler’s face. He took a couple of steps and was about to fall when Nathan caught him and carried him in his arms, both laughing and enjoying.
Nathan leaned and then carried the older pup as well after a few seconds in his other arms.
She smiled, looking at this. She hadn’t seen Nathan genuinely happy for a while; either he used to keep himself busy with work or overthinking things that happened in the past.
‘I missed these moments with Roselet. Maybe this is my chance to enjoy those moments with this pup?’ She thought mentally and kept her hand on her stomach.

A/N: A couple of you recognized Samuel as Charlotte's partner. I don't know when I will resume that story. As per my plan, the next story will be of Liara, then Tiara, then Colton, then Santino, then Cornell's series (3 stories are pending out of 6.) Then Weasley's series.
Well, my mind is packed till 2023 end, I guess.
