Rider went to the boy and hugged him close from behind. To his surprise, Nicolas wrapped his arms around Rider’s, and leaned back into his father. “I’m so glad you’re here, although—”

And your mom seems to think he’s an okay guy, just has some self-esteem issues.”

“I just still don’t get why it’s my business at all that he can’t shift and feels shitty about it. I can’t help being a son of an alpha who canshift.” Nico was getting his teenager on, obviously.
