Rylan POV

I feel a small finger keeps wailing around my chest. My body really sore and pain stabs my lower half. I force open my tired eyes when remember what happened last night. I finally met my angel, my one and only treasure only for me.

I open my tired eyes and meet the most beautiful baby brown orbs. He wriggles inside the towel and suck his little thumb finger. His eyes watering when he spots me try to get up. I hurry cradle him inside my arms.

He had my eyes, lips and hair. My eyes watering when thinking I'm not preparing anything for him yet. It's is like a miracle when he only cooked inside me only for a few months. I drag my heavy feet to our little home.

I know I'm not qualified to be his father but I'll do my best to give him all my love. How I ever thought to erase him from my life? He is the best thing in my life. Thank goodness, I got back my mind before I regret it for as long I live.

I put him on my rag mattress and clean him thoroughly. I search around the food supply and found the milk powder. I know this is not a good thing to give to baby but this is the only thing I can offer him now.

"Allen Conrad Thompson.... That is your name, baby boy." I use a spoon to give him a milk. I need to buy all baby things and lets him be super comfortable. He drinks it a lot. I put him on the shoulder and gently pat his back.

Sorry... I'm sorry son. I'm a worse father you ever have. I can't provide a thing that supposed to provide before you're born. Like I say before you're a miracle in my life, a sun in my dark life. There must a good reason why you only inside only for a few months. And, I'm so sorry for ever thought to erase you from my life little angel.

If I continue the initial planned without doubt, it only brings a hundred thousand regret in my life. I'm so glad that my mind gets into the right track before I commit unpardonable sin. My love for him has bloomed into indescribable amount.

I wipe his body with lukewarm water. He only stares at me through the process. After that, I sing a lullaby song to let him sleep. I didn't have any of knowledge about parental right now. I felt regret never take a serious lesson about it before.

I need to register him but don't know how to do it. I lost contact with Reese after he change to the new number. I afraid these crazy people will come back if I going back to Reese house. Furthermore, I don't know where is my location now. I feel comfortable here because the townsfolk real nice.

They always welcome me as a new member even when I live deep inside the forest. I dress up and take my newborn baby in my arm. I am walking through the light grass until the town was present in my sight.

"Hi aunt Miranda." I greet the middle aged woman who engrosses in her garden. The woman slightly jumps before facing me.

"Oh, boy, you almost make me lost my life force." She is flashy an honest smile. Her eyes land on the bundle in my arms. "... What's that?"

"My son... he is just born yesterday night." I give a short an answer. I peel the bundle to let she had a clear sight.

"Oh my god... Ry, he is so cute." Miranda screams shocking me. She caresses my son's cheek gently. ".... What is his name? Where his mother."

"Allen Conrad Thompson..." I smile when Allen open his brown eyes. He sucks his little thumb greedily. Miranda not pursuit the question about the mother anymore when I didn't answer it.

"Aww he needs a milk now, Ry." I sigh when remembers the purpose why I coming here.

"I need to shop his need... but I'm really doesn't wanna leave him with anyone else." I feel overprotective toward my little angel.

"We can shop together, big boy." She laughs as she pats my back.

"Let get inside first... I need to change my clothes and your baby needs to feed too. You dunno what the disaster will await for you if you let your baby hunger." Miranda had a worst facial face.

Miranda had two sons and a daughter. I never met with them yet because they were living in the next town. Miranda comes shortly after dressing up and handed a feeder bottle to me.

"Don't worry it's a brand new. I got it from Lisa." I nodded and put the bottle's nipple on my son's lips. He part his lips and begin to suck the milk like there are no tomorrow. I laugh eyeing his habit. His nose was scrunching when I touch it.

We go to nearer shopping complex once Allen done feeding. I choose to buy all baby things without hesitation. I may tense when a stranger bump into my shoulder without minding the kid in my arms. Some give a weird eyes but a don't give any fuck for them. Two carts were filled by the time I got to counter.

Miranda just smile and I glad we were came with a truck instead a car. When we got home I'm properly thanks her. She just brushes it aside and busily cooing Allen. She had taken Allen as her own grandson.

"Aunt Miranda, do you know how to register the newborn?" I feel so silly because asking her some sort of stupid question. Or course she knew because she having three kids.

"Don't worry, Ry, I'll lets my family lawyer settle it to you. Why not you're start to live here, Rylan? It's dangerous to stay inside wood without proper protection. Last week, there was a gruesome murderer just a few kilometers from your hut." She said with worried.

"Have they caught the culprit?" I grit my baby tightly.

"Not yet... Hmm, some believe it was done by an animal, but some were believe it was done by the crazy murderer" The story gives me goose bumps.

"I'm not forcing you, Rylan. I just think about the baby and your safety. I plan to talk you before but couldn't find the right time." She pats my tense shoulder. "... And you can start looking work and I can babysitter the baby when you're working."

I find an honesty in every word she mutters. She soothed my inside like a mum sought her own child. We become an acquaintance because her husband caught me stole their clothes.

They also tried to persuade me to live with them all this time. However, I reject their offer because I'm afraid to see they will find me as a bigger freak in the future. Now I need to rethink my decision once again. I need to put Allen safety as my top priority.

"I'll take offer Aunt Miranda." I bit my lip to cover my nervousness.

"Good boy. You should move now, Rylan." She puts her finger on my lips before I protest. "... The house is already awaiting you as its occupant." She whispers lowly and lead I to empty house belong to one of her sons.

She opens the house door and the view really shocks me. The decoration is so beautiful to describe by words. I know they're rich people and having a family business in another town. Miranda and his husband had retired and wanna living in modest and simple life.

"This house is yours starting this very second." Miranda chirping nears me.

"Mmm how is your son then? This is his house..." I trail my finger on oak sofa.

"Don't worry him busy in his own way." She said happily. I found a very warm mum loving from her. I hope that I can give the same amount of love to my own baby.

"Oh thank you very much Aunt Miranda. I'll repay you once I get a stable life. I promise you." I said earnestly, Allen start wailing in my arms again. He cute nose scrunches as if try to figure the change of his environment.

"He needs a milk, Rylan." Miranda tells me. She rummages around the stuff we bought a while ago. "Wait, I'll prepare his milk." I nod.

"Sorry, baby... I need to learn a lot of things about you. Please forgive my clueless self..." I caress his chipmunk cheeks. He wiggles and snuggles closer to my body.

"Take this and bring your baby to your bedroom. Get some rest... At the same time, I'll call some trusted people to renovate a baby room." Miranda said while kisses Allen' cheeks.

"No need, Aunt. I never planned to separate our bedroom yet." I tell her.

"Okay, Rylan. Take a very good rest... I need to go back because my husband will come back anytime.

She closes the main door. It's feel so strange to living in a house again after living in wood in a few months. For the first times, I feel so safe and no need to worry about the strange thing. I bring my son to the bedroom, resting him in a soft mattress. His eyes follow every step I take. Don't worry, son, I never leave you alone.

I lay beside and feed him until his brown eyes start to close again. I lullaby a song that Reese used to sing to me when I'm young too. It's too tired today, but luckily nothing serious happens to my backside entrance. I just felt a little sore by now. Maybe by miracle it also kicks my healing rate.

Thank you, Allen, for being a bright right in my darkness world. Papa loves you so much. I put the bottle beside the nightstand table and join him to sleep too.

Out of nowhere, a loud ringing bangs our ears. Allen cries loud as much as the ringing keeps soaring. I rub my sleepy eyes and caress Allen soft cheeks. The ringing was stop by now, I go to the bathroom to wash my face.

I can hear a soft whimper coming from the bed. I chuckle and my heart bloom in warm affection because my son hate to be separate from me. I finished all my business as quickly as I can. I couldn't let my son alone.

It's his turn to take a bath, he lets out a small whimper when the water touches his bare skin. I skim gently across his soft baby skin. I spot a weird birthmark on his back neck. It looks like a red wolf head.

After that, I dress he up and feeding him a bottle of milk. I carry him to the living room when I heard a knock on the door. I walked fast and opening the door, Miranda comes into my sight.

"Hey boy, care to join my family dinner now?" Miranda said in a hopeful tone.

"Mmm... I think no because it's your family gathering and I'm completely stranger." I muster a good excuse for her.

"Silly boy, just join us. For now, you're like my family. My husband also hopes you can join us." She still pesters me.

"Mmm... Okay." I follow her step with heavy turbulent feeling. She had done so many things in my life.

"Hi baby boys and a girl, I had someone to introduce to you. Meet my new baby boy, Rylan." Miranda said in a cheerful voice. Her words make three people growl in annoyance. Growl? Maybe I misheard.

"Mother, for Goddess sake, it's ridiculous to call us baby since we all had past twenty." The male voice resounds in clear annoying. He cuddles with a pretty woman who smirks on his direction.

"All Albert even if you're ninety I'll still call you as a baby. That is my privilege." Miranda scolds him.

"Brother, you know It's an idiotic to debate with mum." Another man said in sarcastic words. Miranda just smiles triumphantly as her husband shook his head.

"Rylan, this is my first born son, Albert and the second one is Alfred follow by Allison my one and only baby girl. The girl next to Albert is his ma..." Abraham coughed before continuing: "... his future wife. Their wedding is in the end of month."

"Nice to meet you my name is Rylan and this little guy is my newborn baby, Allen." I muster to speak despite in my nervousness. I startled when the two men stare me in ferocious. I instinct hold Allen tightly.

"Mmm...sorry for our rude behaviour, I'm Alfred and nice to meet you." Alfred comes close to me. He is blessed with a handsome face and mouth-watering body sculpture. I took my time before hand shake with him.

"Oh no... it's me who supposed to apologize for interrupting your family gathering." I was stunned by his charming smile.

"Okay boys, enough with introducing or flirting thing. Get your fat asses move to the dining room now." Miranda screams from the dining room. I bet my face is bright red right now.

"'kay my dearest lovely mother." Albert singsong mimicked Miranda.

"Sorry, Rylan... my family is kind of weird in one or another ways." Abraham smile to me.

"It's okay." I replied.

One of their maid ask to babysitter Allen where I'm so restless to give. Miranda and Abraham give me an assure look.

"You're such a good dad, Ry." Alfred gesture me to sit beside him.

They talk about a lot of things I could not understand and somehow refrain from talking about something isn't an appreciate in front me. I absentminded munch my meal that Alfred keeps filling up. My thought keeps running away to my baby boy.

Then from that moment, my life had taken quite a great turn. I had learned a secret I shouldn't have learned. But their kindness enough to erase all my fear. Just how they're accepting as who I'm so I do the same thing. A beep message ring from my IPhone wakes me up from my thought.

Babe, I couldn't wait to marking you as mine ASAP.

A smile creeps on my lips. He never from the first time we were met until now. I was such a fortunate man to having him in my life. He accepts my boy and me as his own.

"Ry, give me an honor to walk you through an aisle." Abraham pokes his head in my bedroom door. I nervously nod to him. Theirs 'people' eyeing me as I walked down the aisle with my husband waiting with a big smile at the altar. I concentrate the every word the priest said.

We exchange a vow word and ring before the officer declares us as a legal husband-husband. However, deep inside I have a guilty and a doubtful feeling as if I had betrayed someone so close to mine. But who? The one and only close to me is Reese but he was missing. I cover my feeling so well to avoid Alfred from caught me red handed.

This is our happy day, our starting point as a complete family. Tonight he will mark me and we move to the neutral zone. He had handed over all his jobs to his sister in law as per his pack's Luna. How should I say my husband is quite a lazy man to handle his pack business and step down from being a second Alpha. The pack that used to run by duo alphas now only depends solely on Albert.

"What had taken my husband concentrate? Or you're thinking what we supposed to do tonight?" Alfred makes a naughty remark.

"Nothing Al, just wants my boy back on my arm." I divert his question to my baby boy who was surrounded by pups.

"Thank you for coming into my life, babe, and I hope you to get a fluffy body like a year ago again" He pouted that earn his family laughter. Silly husband!
