Alpha's Regret: Losing His True Mate

Elodie’s POV

Then I turned to Liora and nudged her gently. "Liora, say thank you to Uncle Hardin."

Liora looked up at Reed with her big eyes. "Thank you, Grandpa Hardin."

Reed chuckled warmly, waving his hand. "No need to be so polite."

He looked at her for a moment longer, his expression softening. "She really does look more like Dante, doesn’t she?"

I nodded. "Yes. She does."

Reed smiled again, his tone kind. "Whether she looks like Dante or you, she’s a wonderful child."

I lowered my eyes and smiled faintly, but I didn’t say anything.

There wasn’t much I could say to that.

Reed shifted the topic then, his tone turning a bit more casual. "Have you and that troublesome son of mine made up yet?"

I shook my head, a small smile tugging at my lips despite myself. "It seems the conflict has only deepened."

Reed let out a short laugh. "Good."
