All the while his eyes were glued to her body. Though he was involved in cracking jokes with his friends, engulfed in Hazel's embrace, there was only one thing that had the ability to break his focus and distract him.
Her.
Her every move made him direct his eyes in that direction and read her features. Nobody had ever intrigued him like this. Yeah, he was in shock too, after realizing how his body reacted to her words and other things, but there was nothing he could do! Emotions can't be controlled, can they?
In fact, it was only her voice, that chiming tone ringing; it was the only sound he could focus on. His hearing abilities concentrated more on her words. He frequently smiled when she talked to Milan, mimicking her baby voice in a childish way. Her laughter resonated in his ears.
He was having a hard time defining those currents that ran down his body; however, within him, his wolf was happier than anybody else in this entire place. Not because baby Milan was happy and enjoying her day, but because he could see how their mate's presence affected this idiot.
Shine played and danced inside him, feeling whatever Ryley felt. He wanted to say so many things, ask him to finally accept that he was attracted to her, no backing out now. Still, he kept mum, not wanting to ruin his mood. He knew his partner; he needed no reason to get convulsed.
Never mind, now it was time for murdering the cake. "Zander, take Milan in your arms. I will go and get the cake and knife."
"Sure, Mom!" On his mother's assertion, Zander hopped down from the table, walking near them.
