Alice was lying on the sofa downstairs with Denver protectively by her side. Both of them were lying side by side, asleep.

For some time now, Alice found more comfort on the sofa than in her bed. With Burke undergoing training on official and management duties, he was now spending a lot of time at the office to complete the tasks his Alpha assigned to him.

However, he began to feel strange pains that made him uncomfortable. The same pain awoke Alice, and when she lifted herself to a sitting position, Denver was equally awake.

His eyes were wide open as usual, determined to follow Alice wherever she went. What he did not expect was the clear liquid that splashed on the floor and the pain in Alice’s eyes, as if she needed help but could not speak.

Alice had never felt this kind of pain in her life, not even during her first shift. She sat back on the sofa, and there was not a single maid around.

Most probably, they were taking care of other duties, but Denver remembered his parents had gone upstairs not long ago, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the words followed.

"Mom, Dad, Alice."

Not knowing how to describe whatever Alice was going through, all he could do was mention her name after mentioning that of his parents.

Alice was in pain, but it seemed to freeze for a moment as she stared at the eleven-month-old boy by her side who looked like a three-year-old and yet had the abilities of a six-year-old.

However, his voice was just out of the ordinary, making her kowtow to him with respect. Some people were born to rule, and such was Denver.

The level of authority in his voice would cause anyone to cower. It sounded so much like that of his father but was also quite different.

The voice sounded so mature and authoritative that when Valerie saw the owner of the voice, darkness consumed her.

Before her body touched the floor, her prince charming already caught her in his arms.

"Val, you’ve paled," Denzel observed.

They had both rushed out of the room to see that Denver was the one who yelled just now and were so stunned, their focus only remained on Denver until they heard his voice again.

"Hurry, she needs help."

If he could, he would not have called for his parents and just carried Alice to the hospital, but the strength needed to do that was quite elusive to him.

Someone who never spoke a word before, did not even speak like a child but rather a mature grown man. Was he a reincarnated warrior or something?

Alice’s screams pulled them out of their confused thoughts and rushed downstairs.

Alpha Denzel was just about to carry her to the hospital when Burke, appearing from nowhere, beat him to it.

"I got her, Alpha."

Burke rushed her to the hospital, but Alpha Denzel and Luna Valerie followed suit at a close range when suddenly, a painful groan tore from the mouth of both Burke and Alice.

Burke almost dropped Alice due to the intense pain he was feeling if Alpha Denzel had not noticed and taken Alice from him in time.

He was feeling his mate’s labor pains, and that was understandable.

Valerie carried Denver along, and when they reached the pack hospital, Alice was wheeled into the labor ward, but only Burke was allowed to go with her.

"What’s wrong with her?"

Denver held on tightly to his mother’s neck and asked. It took time for Valerie to process the fact that this strange voice belonged to her pup.

Just a while ago, they were scared that he’ll suffer a speech impediment, but then, he stunned them once again.

Now they were beginning to wonder what other surprises this little man had in store for them.

Swallowing tightly, she responded to him. "Her pup is coming out. You will see him or her soon."

"Her," Denver replied. Alpha Denzel was stunned as he listened to their conversation and could not help interrupting.

"How do you know it’s a she?" He asked with interest, suspecting that perhaps Alice’s pup was going to be Denver’s future mate.

Denver smiled. He never laughed and was always so cute whenever he smiled.

"I don’t know. I want her," he said. Valerie felt depressed. Perhaps Denver wanted a sibling, for which reason he was obsessed with Alice’s pup or felt a connection to her.

Sadly, Valerie had only one chance, and that gave her an extraordinary pup. It was just unfortunate that she could not give him a sibling, but luckily, he had cousins and family friends to fill the gap.

Alpha Denzel’s reasoning was beginning to change as well. Denver wanted a sibling, but how could he have felt the absence of one when he was so young?

They seemed to have gotten an understanding of Denver’s reason for not leaving Alice’s side, and as they waited patiently, Alice’s screams were replaced by the sound of a newborn baby.

Burke stepped out of the labor ward, and his knees gave way as he sat on the floor.

Alpha Denzel was confused but not worried, feeling that Burke was recovering from the labor pains he felt from his mate.

"Congratulations. You are now a father," he patted Burke on the shoulder. Burke inhaled deeply and forced a smile, but no words came out of his mouth.

The doctor soon came out and announced, "Alpha, our beta’s mate delivered a bouncy baby boy."

The excitement in the air was amazing, but strangely, Denver was not as happy as they expected.

"Denver, did you hear that? You have a brother from another mother."

"Yes, but she’s there?" Denver said with a serious expression, confusing the doctor.

"He can speak?" He was wondering if it was somebody else, but Denzel gazed at the doctor, and he was encased with fear.

"Alice needs help," Denver said, his words accompanied by a painful groan from Burke. It was as if he was going to die.

"Come on, go check on Alice," Alpha Denzel yelled in an Alpha tone when he finally understood what was going on...
