He’d been wrong. Very wrong.
Two years ago, Kellan’s wife, Clara, had been kidnapped by the witches, the same ones that attacked Liam’s clan over a decade ago. The brothers defeated the witches, but the witches were a threat and probably always would be.
There were other threats, too, and not just the brothers’ enemies. Last year, Quinn’s wife, Juliana, was chased down by her own family, who were members of a powerful and deadly Romanian mob. Her stalkers were human and easily defeated, but as a human, she had been in grave danger.
Liam wasn’t sure he could deal with the constant worry his brothers went through. Of course, his brothers said the worry was worth it because their wives were their true mates, the only ones they’d ever love. Still, Liam longed for a deep connection with a dragon shifter female, not a human woman. Before his clan was destroyed, he’d been young and hadn’t had the opportunity to court any females, but he was resolute. He knew what he wanted. Though, as far as he was aware, there were no female shifters in Texas, and there wasn’t exactly a dating app for dragon shifters in the States who were pretending to be human.
Liam adored Declan and his little sister Shannon, and he adored the newest member of the family, baby Isleen, but he didn’t want to be just an uncle. He wanted to be a father, too. Becoming a father had always been one of his main goals.
In late September, the weather was still warm in Texas, and after catching his nephew for thirty minutes straight, Liam was ready to cool off in his brother’s pool. He hopped in and dunked himself, relishing the feel of the cool water. When he resurfaced, he was brought out of his gloomy thoughts by his sister-in-law, Clara, who handed him her little daughter, Shannon. Shannon wasn’t even two yet, but she could already swim. She liked to be tossed around, too, just like her older brother.
While Liam was playing with Shannon, his brother Quinn swam over and elbowed him in the ribs. “What’s your deal, man? It’s your birthday, and you’ve hardly said a word all night.”
Liam spun Shannon in a circle while she splashed and squealed. “Nothing,” he said.
“Come on. You listen to us bellyache all the time. Now it’s your turn.”
Liam thought back to the homemade chocolate cake, the sparklers as candles, and the pile of gifts his brothers had for him to celebrate his birthday. It didn’t seem right to complain. “I’ll sound like an asshole.”
“That’s nothing new.”
“I want what you guys have.”
Quinn’s expression changed from lighthearted to serious. “What’s that?”
“A family,” Liam said.
The brothers had always celebrated their birthdays, but the addition of the wives and children made it a more festive occasion, and his sisters-in-law had wrapped his gifts in paper with little dragons all over it. Liam didn’t care about wrapping paper, but the kids had enjoyed helping him rip it off.
“Are you being serious?” Quinn asked.
“Why the hell would I joke about something like that?” Shit. Liam glanced down at the toddler in his arms. “Sorry, Shannon. I didn’t mean to curse in front of you.”
“I guarantee you that she’s heard worse with Kellan as a dad.” Quinn shook his head. “I know Isleen’s too young to talk, but I guarantee she’s heard me say plenty already.”
Liam chuckled, trying to lighten his mood. He was here with his family, and everyone was healthy and happy. He needed to get his act together. “Yeah, man, you’re right about that.”
“So, tell me more. You want a wife?”
“Yeah, I do. But it hasn’t worked out.”
“Dude, you haven’t dated,” Quinn said.
“That’s easy for you to say. Your mate literally fell into your lap.”
Quinn’s wife Juliana had moved in next door to Quinn, who was the town doctor in Cedar Lake, and then she’d proceeded to fall off a ladder right in front of him. Thank God she’d only broken her arm. Of course, Quinn had come to her rescue, and the two had been smitten with each other ever since.
A goofy grin passed over Quinn’s face. “She sure did.”
“You guys got the fairytale. I’m thirty-two years old. I don’t know if that’s going to happen for me.”
“You’re thirty-two, not ninety-two.” Quinn clapped Liam on the back. “We’ll get this figured out.”
That’s what Liam was afraid of. He had no doubt his brothers would have dozens of dates lined up for him by the time they got together for dinner the following week. As Liam lifted Shannon into the air, he caught a mischievous look on Quinn’s face. Oh God, what had he gotten himself into?
