章 69: Chapter 69

With Dante at her side, Jaime came over, cradling a baby girl in her arms—Roni’s niece. “Wow, you’re getting Marcus to share. It really must be love.”

Marcus looked at Dante, who grinned at him and mouthed “whipped.” Asshole.

“Why are you talking so quietly?” Roni asked Jaime.

“I’m hiding from your mother. I promised I’d hand Willow back to her . . . but I don’t want to.”

Kathy and Nick literally fought over Willow Mika Axton all the time, both equally possessive and protective. Shaya seemed to be enjoying the reprieve from being on the receiving end of such overprotectiveness. The Alpha female had been an absolute trooper throughout labor, while Nick had been white as a sheet and had nearly lost consciousness.

Stroking a hand over the baby’s small tuft of blonde hair, Roni said to Kye, “What do you think? Isn’t she beautiful?”

Kye’s little face scrunched up. “No.”

Jaime laughed quietly. “I think she’s gorgeous, like her mom. I want to keep her.”
