บท 134: Azrael's declaration

Aresh was stunned. He didn't expect Knoa to throw himself at him. He dared to hug back the kid, but his open arms froze midway after glimpsing at the darkened face of his alpha father. Aresh was confused and a bit saddened. It did seem that the man disliked him.

He quickly averted his gaze and just waited until Knoa let him go. A minute later, the kid pushed himself away and looked at Aresh admirably, "Brother! How did you do it? Teach me! Teach me! So, every time my toys get ripped, I can fix them."

"I can do that too, Knoa," a deep voice came from behind the kid. Knoa looked back and he was greeted by sulking grey eyes and arms claiming him up. "I can even sew talkative mouths and—ugh, I mean mufflers…"

Rian stifled a laugh seeing Knox stomped on Azrael's foot.

Ragel just shook his head and looked away. He was glad that Knoa wasn't like him whose other parent was missing, yet his chest felt heavy, for an unknown reason.
