answered.
“Yello?”
“What is this I hear about you being a fag? It’s bad enough that you have disgraced the Lewenhart
name, but you let those two queer friends of yours turn you gay? I knew I should have killed those two
when I had the chance. I’m going to call your grandfather and take over the Lewenhart pride so that you
don’t ruin our family name with your degrading and sinful ways,” a loud angry voice shouted through the
phone.
“Nice hearing from you too, father. How is mother?” Liam said in a tight and controlled voice. Kent and
Sebastian leaned forward and each placed a hand on Liam’s thigh in a show of support.
“Don’t ask about your mother with the same mouth that you use to suck cock, you aberration!” his
father screamed.
“Is that Lamar Lewenhart on the phone? Can he claim the Lewenhart name anymore since he lost the
dominance fight? I can never remember,” Rian asked as he, Damian, and Rex stood in a semicircle around
Liam.
“Tell that demon spawn not to talk to me. Pack your things, all of you, I am going to the council. Since
Liam has decided to be queer, he won’t be able to produce an heir for the Lewenhart line. The title and the
house will revert back to me,” Lamar yelled.
“Listen here, you closed-minded, cold bastard. I challenged you and won. I am the Alpha of the
Lewenhart Pride and this is my motherfucking home. Go ahead and go to the council, Grandfather hasn’t
changed his mind about supporting me and the way I run this pride. But let me make one thing crystal
fucking clear,” Liam said, standing to his full height.
“You come down here and threaten my pride and I won’t let you live this time. I will fucking end you
and mail your body pieces back to mother in a fucking cooler are you hearing me, Lamar Scotts?” Liam
roared into his cell phone, the lions around him roared their response. Liam had deliberately used his
father’s post-dominance-challenge name, Scotts. It was his mother’s maiden name, and a true sign of his
loss in status.
“This isn’t the end, I should have killed you as a cub!” And the line went dead.
Liam yelled wordlessly as he threw his phone in the pool. He then turned and went into the house alone.
Sebastian and Kent looked at Rian and Damian, a pained expression on their faces.
“It’s sad that they have paid him more attention in hating him after the dominance challenge than he
ever received from them growing up. Go to him, he’s going to need you,” Rian said with tears in his eyes.
Damian nodded at the two, who jumped to their feet and hurried after their mate.
They found him pacing and snarling to himself in the master bedroom.
“Liam, what do you need?” Kent asked, standing in the doorway, his arm wrapped around Sebastian.
“A new family!” Liam shouted.
“Okay, how many cubs do you want?” Kent asked, his voice sensible and gentle. Liam halted in his
pacing and turned to stare at Kent.
“What?” Liam asked, shocked into stopping.
“You want a new family, that’s easy. You already have me and Sebastian as mates. Rian and Damian as
brothers. Aleks, Rebecca and Kate as best friends. We can find a surrogate and start having cubs of our
own. Our own family,” Kent said, stepping into the middle of the room with Sebastian walking beside him.
“Babies?” Liam asked, suddenly breaking out into a huge grin, the hurtful words from his father
temporarily forgotten.
“An entire houseful. Don’t think I haven’t noticed how much you dote on Lucas and Landon. We can
have as many children as you want,” Kent continued.
“They won’t have grandparents,” Liam said bitterly. Sebastian snorted.
“That’s a lie. Ma and Pa would snatch our kids up in a heartbeat and claim them, and you know it. They
love you like a son,” Sebastian said.
“Our kids?” Liam repeated a goofy smile on his face.
Kent and Sebastian finally closed the gap to wrap their arms around their
