Kapitel 97: The first time they called her mommy

When the sun disappeared behind the buildings on the beach, Lara and Nate packed their things and collected the cubs.

The twins had been playing in the sand and drawing shapes, sometimes collecting water from the sea and wetting the sand to have clearer traits.

They weren't as scared anymore to dip their feet in the water, but they still didn't go further than a step or two without someone by their side.

Lara had gone swimming with them, but in the end, she had sat a few feet from the shore and played in the water where the cubs could touch the seabed with their feet.

As soon as they reached the room, she grabbed one of the pups and headed to the bathroom.

«Scarlet, you take off your suit while I wash Jaden,» she instructed, reaching the bathroom and cleaning the little boy from the salt and the sand.

She checked his skin and found no trace of sunburns. She sighed, relieved, and wrapped him in a towel.
