Kinnon Youngshaper received a call from Lucien Clearwater a day after his babies were born.
"I don't want you and Ralph to find out from other people," Lucien had said. "The Moon Goddess has blessed Ronan and me with a pair of pups."
"..."
If Kinnon did not know better, he would think that Lucien had gone nuts. Since when was an alpha male able to conceive?
But it was Lucien who told him this news in such a serious manner, so it had to be the truth.
"Congratulations," the Alpha said.
"Thank you," Lucien said. "Then, I will hang up first."
"Hmm."
Kinnon bumped the back of his head against the headrest a few times after the call ended.
He quickly arranged for his scouts to find out about the birth of the Alpha heirs of the rival pack.
Unexpectedly, his scouts already knew about it. They just did not tell Kinnon to spare his feelings, and it did not make Kinnon any happier.
