The Silent Alpha

***Zane***

 I’m up at the break of dawn, Kota poking my eyes and wanting to play.

"L-let’s go get M-Mommy some clothes and breakfast," I murmur, slipping out of bed and dragging the giggling pup towards me by his ankles.

"Shhh!" I whisper when Talia begins to stir from the sound of Kota’s laughter.

"Y-you’ll wake M-Mommy up," I scold, Kota covering his mouth as he giggles some more.

I quickly get dressed and throw Kota over my shoulder before tiptoeing out of the room.

Kota only has on his set of pajamas so I'll have to shop for him too.

Luckily for me, Rionna offers to accompany me as I have no fashion sense or knowledge of clothes shopping.You have no sense, period.

Grayson snickers as we find a small clothing store.

Rionna goes to search for some blouses, bottoms, panties, and bras for Talia and I take Kota to the children's section.

My pup happily skips through the aisles, gasping loudly when he sees a child-sized mannequin wearing a graphic tee with a large howling wolf on the chest.

"I want that one!"

Kota squeals, racing to the mannequin to touch the shirt.He strokes the wolf's fur with his tiny fingers, completely in awe of the image.

Luck smiles upon us because we manage to find the last shirt in Kota’s size and he begs me to put it on him immediately.I find him three sets of shorts, some more shirts in different styles and patterns, socks, and underwear.

In the shoe aisle, Kota selects a pair of black light up sneakers them.

As we stand in line to pay for our things, I notice Kota staring intently at the man behind us.He tilts his head to the side in curiosity and twists his small mouth as he thinks.

I give the man a quick glance and can’t understand what’s so interesting about him.He is just a man in his late 40’s with a large pot belly and thinning hair.

"Daddy," Kota hisses, tugging at my hand so I can bend over and listen to him "Daddy, is he growing a baby in his belly like Mommy?"

He whispers in my ear.I do a double take and stare at the pup, unsure if I heard him correctly.

Even Grayson seems at a loss for words, his emotions bombarding me like a cyclone.

"A-A baby?" I ask, not wanting to get ahead of myself. https://novelebook.com/home1

"K-Kota, where did y-you....Where did y-you hear that?"

"Nanessa said Mommy is growing a baby in her belly," Kota replies with a shrug and lifts up his shirt to show me his tummy.

"Daddy, I want to grow a baby just like Mommy! Do you think it will fit?" He asks, tapping his stomach.

"Mommy's worm is growing babies. Mommy’s growing babies. I want a baby!" He snaps.

"Daddy, are your growing babies too?"

His lips begin to quiver as he pouts and his eyes fill with tears.His breathing grows heavier and I know he’s going to cry any second now.

Grayson! Grayson, what do I do? I ask, panicking as the pup bursts into tears.

Well, did you try putting him in rice? Grayson mutters.

GRAYSON! 

Well I don't know! I didn't think the horse would ever reach its destination, Grayson argues defensively.

Let me think! struggle to balance him and all the clothes in my hands.

Fortunately, Rionna finally meets us at the front of the line and offers to hold the clothes while I soothe my son.

"W-why are y-you sad, buddy?" I ask, smoothing back his hair and kissing his head.

He buries his face in my neck and begins to wail.

"Because I want a baby!" he hiccups.

"W-why do y-you want a baby?" I ask and he begins to cry harder.

"Because… because I want someone to play with me and Wolfie," he cries.

"What baby is he talking about?" Rionna asks with confusion, handing the cashier her credit card.

"Mommy has a baby in her belly," Kota answers angrily, a small gasp escaping Rionna’s lips.

"But I want to have a baby too!"

Tears fill Rionna’s eyes and she wraps her arms around me in a hug.

"Oh my! How wonderful! Congratulations, my love! That pup is so going to be lucky to have you and Talia! Oh, I’m just so excited for you! This is so wonderful!" she cries with excitement.

"Kota, you’re going to be a big brother!"

Kota stops his crying and stares curiously at Rionna.
