Tension was racing between everyone, but Devin did not need his sister to take that road. They were getting along better without her believing that. "Mattie." He called out her real name. "Stop it."
She didn't look like she wanted to listen.
"It doesn't matter whether a person is a shapeshifter naturally, genetically, or can't shapeshift at all. Everyone will be fine here." Devin tried to stop the stirring waters. "She still has the right to place the nametags on the children if she wants to."
"This is stupid," Mattie said as she came over toward him. "They are yours, Devin. Everyone's going to be able to tell," she reminded him. "If someone else tells her the truth, she's going to hate it even more."
Chances someone would get involved, or that she'd clarify the father while doing some light shopping? "I can handle it, Mattie. I will explain when the time is right." Meanwhile, they were getting closer.
