His Purrfect Mate
Page 25
His family mattered. He smiled as Lera stopped beside him. “Hey, little one.”
She tucked her hand in his, a habit he hoped she never outgrew. “I’m not the little one anymore, Daddy. I’m the oldest.”
Dane remembered the day she first called him Daddy to his face. Big tough alpha tiger shifter who used to be an enforcer. He’d cried. “You’ll always be my little one.”
“I love you, Daddy.”
“Love you, too, Lera.” He frowned. “Where’d you get that?” he asked pointing at her necklace. The silver oval stood out against her dark skin. The black symbol emblazoned upon it was familiar to him; however, he couldn’t place where he’d seen it before.
“Isn’t it beautiful?”
“Yes. But who gave it to you?”
“My angel.”
It had been a while since she’d spoken about her mysterious angel. Dane looked around. “Is he here?”
“No, not anymore. I gotta go, Daddy. Just wanted to give you something.”
He crouched before her. “What’s that?”
Lera threw her arms around him and kissed his cheek. “That.” She ran off.
You, tiger-mine, are a wonderful father.
Dane stood and walked toward a group to join in the conversation. She makes it so easy. Did you know her angel stopped by? Gave her a gift this time. A necklace.
Perhaps it was from one of the boys in the village and she figured if she said her angel gave it to her, you’d be okay with it.
He seriously doubted that. Perhaps.
We’ll figure it out together, tiger-mine. Enjoy your family and friends.
Clapping Aren on the shoulder, Dane smiled at the men there. As the day wore on, Dane never let his wife stray far from his thoughts. She was everything to him. His love. His heart. More than his mate. Aida was his perfect mate. The very thing he needed to balance him.
After everyone had gone to bed or left, Aida held true to her word and made him purr.
More than once.
