Chapter 55 Mr. Spike
Alina’s heart melted right there. She cupped his tiny cheek, feeling the warmth of his soft skin under her palm. "I loved it, Lucian. You’re very strong... and very gentle, too. That makes you special."
Lucian’s eyes flickered with unknown emotions. He gave the smallest nod, then turned with that perfect demon prince grace, walking back to his seat like a miniature king who’d just blessed the room with his presence.
Alina watched him sit down, her eyes shining.
She stood tall, clapping her hands softly. "That was wonderful, my darlings. All of you are precious and amazing in your own ways. Now, who wants a snack?"
Everyone’s faces lit up when they heard it, and they all started cheering.
Alina smiled and carefully took out the little box from her bag, the same cookies she’d baked that morning instead of getting some much-needed sleep.
"Alright, my sweethearts," she said, her voice warm and honey-sweet as she held out the box. "Two each, okay? Be gentle."
Vlad Jr. pouted at only getting two... but he still held out his elegant little hand for a cookie.
Drake bounced up and down on his toes, tail wagging so fast it slapped Luna’s leg.
Luna growled softly but took her cookies with her tiny wolf teeth showing.
Sable peeked up with big eyes, taking his cookies so delicately that his shadows curled around it protectively, like a sleepy blanket. Rocky squeaked a shy thank you and hugged his cookies to his cheek for a second before nibbling.
Felix just lifted his cookies in a lazy salute and took the biggest bite, smirking with crumbs on his lips. Kelpie’s damp fingers made his cookie a bit soggy, but he didn’t care, he just smiled at her like she’d handed him the moon.
