Jake was thus momentarily released from his tasks as the Beta of the pack and took on a new job as the father of a little girl. One of his tasks was to arrange for visits from pack members who would love to share in on the joyous event. Cassie, who had just given birth, was naturally very protective of her baby girl. Although she tried to suppress her beastly nature at all times, it often manifested in form of an unexpected snarl whenever she saw someone extending their paws to touch her little girl.

A little squeal from the baby girl was enough to set Cassie ablaze.

It was thus necessary to regulate the visits. Not too often as it would upset Cassie, but also not too seldom as it would alienate the remaining pack members and they did not want that. It took a whole pack to raise a little pup!

Ronan Silverback extended his congratulations to Jake and Cassie the same day Cassie gave birth, but he did not come back to the Pack House until after Lucien was discharged. By that time, the four weeks had passed and Jake was ready to retake his position as the Beta.

To his greatest dismay, the first piece of news he heard on his first day of returning to his job was the hearing to clear up the mess between the Silent Walkers Pack and the Night Prowler Pack.

Jake restlessly waited for Ronan to come back in the latter’s office. Poor Milroy was also there, going back and forth between the office and the entrance to see whether Ronan had finally arrived or not. The young man had lost a lot of weight, but he knew how to do his job by now. That was good because Ronan was not a patient boss. He expected his subordinates to read his mind without Mind Link.

Just as Jake was busy scolding his Alpha in his mind, Milroy entered the room hastily with a leather bag full of Ronan’s work documents.

“He is here,” he reported. There was fear in his eyes. Jake had to swallow. He straightened his suit and gestured for Milroy to stay out of the hell fire.

.....

Ronan’s languid footsteps were heard along the corridor long before he arrived in his office. He did not look happy, but he also did not look angry. Jake had expected worse. He should be glad, but he knew he should not relax yet. Not until Ronan said something.

The Alpha entered the office and smiled at Jake.

“Back already, Jake? How is Cassie doing?”

Well, that was unexpected. How nice of Ronan.

Jake cleared his throat before answering. “She is doing just fine.”

“Have you decided the name for your little girl?”

“Uh, no. Not yet. We are hoping to get some suggestions from Cassie’s parents.”

“Ah.”

Cassandra was not born of the Silent Walkers Pack. Her birth pack was located some cities away from the Infinite Eclipse Pack. Although her parents were part of the family, they were not part of the pack. The custom demanded them to wait until the four weeks were up before they could pay a visit to their daughter and their granddaughter.

Although Cassie understood the rules among the packs, she was still very unhappy about the fact that she did not have her mother around to take care of her when she needed her the most. That was why Jake had to pamper her a lot so that she did not feel all too lonely.

Ronan tugged his tie loose and sighed as he plopped down on his leather seat.

He looked exhausted, Jake thought. Maybe he did not want to talk about the heavy topics yet.

“I have not visited your daughter even once,” Ronan remarked. “Why don’t we go there now?”

Jake gaped at Ronan for a split second before he quickly gathered himself.

“Sure! Let’s go now!”

The Beta hastily contacted his mate through Mind Link, knowing that Cassie would go rampant if he let Ronan come to their apartment while it was in no different state than a shipwreck.

‘CASSIE! QUICK, TIDY UP THE HOUSE!’

On a brighter note, maybe Jake could have rephrased his sentence in a better way because his wife was not in the mood for cleaning the house. Not while she was taking care of a newborn baby at least.

‘STOP ORDERING ME AROUND! JAKE, I NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THE BABY!’

‘...’

Jake tried again.

‘Cassie, uh. Ronan is coming.’

‘...’

‘...’

‘How wonderful. Excuse me for a little bit, I need to throw out some trash and vacuum the floor.’

Jake heaved a sigh. He knew that he was going to pay for it after Ronan left. Jake had been tidying up the apartment during the four weeks that the pack members get to visit. After the visitation period was over, naturally the couple did not pay too much attention to the cleanliness of the place. Until the Alpha of the pack decided to pay them a visit, at least.

It was amazing how fast Cassie worked when she had to. The apartment was spick and span by the time Jake and Ronan entered through the door. Cassie even found some time to change from her overlarge pajamas to a cream-colored dress.

“Welcome, Alpha,” she greeted politely.

Ronan closed the distance between them, took her hand, and placed a kiss on her knuckles.

“You have worked hard, Cassandra. Where is the little princess?”

At the receiving end of such a gallant gesture, Cassie inevitably blushed.

“Oh, she is in her crib...”

As if on cue, the little baby started crying right after.
