was
    tall, but not as bulky as Rebecca’s bear, for which he was grateful. He liked the way he could see Liam’s
    muscles as they moved under his skin. He subconsciously licked his lips, and Liam’s eyes widened. A slow
    smile crossed his lion’s features. When he took a step forward and started coming towards them, it was
    with a definite swagger in his step. Was his lion showing off for him?
    Liam walked up to the table, grabbed a chair and sat down between his mate and Rebecca. He smiled at
    Sebastian, reached over and took his hand. Sebastian looked to Rebecca, then Kate, who were grinning like
    idiots at him.
    “Hi,” Sebastian mumbled, staring down at the table where their hands were joined.
    “Hi, kitten.” Liam lifted Sebastian’s hand to his cheek and rubbed his face across it.
    “You’re not mad anymore?” Sebastian asked. Liam shook his head.
    “I was hurt you didn’t come to me, but I never gave you a chance to explain why. I’ve been walking
    around out of sorts and snapping at everyone in my pride. We’ll have a long talk later, but you’re my mate
    and I’ll support you. I’m going to stop acting like a grumpy-ass bear, because they are freaking annoying,
    and give you the chance to get comfortable with being with me, so I can understand your story. Besides, my
    lion is dying to mark you. He’s been snarling at me for the past two weeks to be near you.” Liam kissed
    Sebastian’s hand.
    “Yes! Yes, yes!” Rebecca was pumping both small fists in the air and kicking her feet, laughing happily.
    Sebastian looked around the table and everyone was smiling at them.
    Liam turned to Kate and Rebecca.
    “Good morning, my luscious ladies. And how is my baby boy doing today?” he asked, making kissing
    noises at Rebecca’s stomach, sounding like his normal self. Rebecca beamed up at Liam, obviously relieved
    at his familiar, laid-back persona.
    “Aleks said the next time you referred to his son as your boy he was going to choke the life out of you.”
    Rebecca looked around, snatched up Kate’s coffee cup and took a healthy swig.
    “I saw that! No more caffeine for you, Rebecca Arkadion, doctor’s orders,” Connor yelled across the
    diner. Rebecca winced and set the cup down, grumbling about stupid doctors and what do they know.
    Sebastian removed his hand from Liam’s, winked at his mate before sucking up all the soda in his cup.
    Under the table he popped off the lid, then he reached across the table, grabbing Kate’s mug. When
    Connor’s back was turned, he carefully poured Kate’s coffee into his soda cup and put the lid back on. He
    handed it to Rebecca, who started bouncing excitedly in her seat. She accepted the cup and held it in front
    of her.
    “Sebastian, you are the bestest!” She was about to take a sip when a large hand swooped in and grabbed
    the cup.
    “And no soda either. That has caffeine, too,” Connor said, before taking the cup to the kitchen sink and
    pouring it out. Sebastian’s eyes widened as he saw Rebecca’s face turn to a mask of horror before her
    bottom lip started to quiver.
    “Oh no,” Kate said, looking around for another cup of coffee.
    “Connor hates me and Doc hates me!” Rebecca ranted.
    Sebastian looked over to Liam pleadingly. Liam smiled and nodded. He stood up and scooped Rebecca
    up in his arms before sitting down and settling her on his lap.
    “Okay, baby girl, why did they take you off caffeine?” He asked gently. Sebastian’s heart was melting.
    His mate had to be the kindest man he had ever met, how could he have ever doubted him? Rebecca had to
    be one of the most exasperating, but amazing women he had ever met. Living with her he’d had some of
    the best times of his life. Liam seemed to have infinite patience when it came to the tiny human.
    “They think I’m too excitable, that I’m all over the place and expending too much energy. I tried to tell
    them that this is au naturel ”—she pointed to herself—“but they
