Stone Circle and a baby makes four

Steady listened and digested Grayday's words, understanding what he was saying. If Valette refused him, he knew he would need to keep a straight face, and carry on with the task of raising Keoni and Nikai as if nothing ever happened—no matter how much it might break his heart.

He gave his Gamma a smile, reaching over to nudge him. Thanks for the advice, Brother, he said genuinely. I will definitely keep it in mind. As he trotted away, his heart a little lighter, he felt fully prepared to take on whatever might happened between he and his lovely Beta.
