Mate Her by Jenika Snow Page B

Thorque helping her to deliver her first child, she felt this renewed sense of
strength.
    “One more push, Minka , and
the little one will be here,” Thorque said with pride
in his voice.
    She gave it her all, and as soon as she felt the
baby come out, and heard that tiny little cry, tears sprang forth. Thorque cleaned the little body, wiped it off with warm
water, and then held him up to show his brothers. Her son was tiny, but with
lightly tinted red skin, a thatch of black hair on his little head, and a cry
that shook the walls. When Thorque handed him to her,
she saw the black wing outline on his tiny back. She held him to her chest and
stroked those lines. Her son calmed instantly.
    “He’s mine.”
    She looked at Brawn. “You can tell?” Again, it had
to be a Hades thing.
    Brawn nodded and rubbed her son’s back. “I can smell
me on him, can sense that it is my blood that runs
through his veins.”
    She thought maybe there would be jealousy from Lukin and Thorque over the fact
her first child was not one of theirs, but they came over and looked genuinely
happy. Her little boy was, after all, theirs as well. She pulled the baby back,
looked into his tiny face, and smiled wider. His flesh was a light shade of red,
a mixture of both hers and the Hades line.
    “I think we should name him a proper Hades title,” Lukin said proudly. “He should be called Mhekal .”
    She glanced at Lukin after
he spoke. “Little warrior.” She translated into English, and smiled down at her
son.
    Lukin ran a finger over the baby’s head.
    She looked at her son once more. “ Mhekal .” She tested the name out, and her grin
widened. “I think it matches him perfectly.” She looked among her three men,
and felt the love she had for each of them fill her.
    Brawn kissed her on the head, Lukin stroked the side of her face, and Thorque rubbed her
leg. How strange to go from running for her life, to being with these three
alien warriors, and now holding her very first child. The world was a
frightening and strange place, but things most definitely tended to work out in
the end as long as there was hope. And the little person she held in her arms
right now, and the men she had given her heart to, were proof of that.
