All it Takes is Love
Chapter 21

The following day Byron was up early and sitting in his new office by five. He had a lot of papers to go through still before he met with the abused boys. He still didn’t know exactly what he would say to them since he’d never had to deal with that kind of thing, but he’d do his best.

“Do not worry. I feel as if those boys mostly need an ear to hear them, not advice,” his wolf explained solemnly.

Byron sat back in his chair with a sigh as a feeling of relief rushed through him. Listening, I’m good at listening. Then he turned his attention back to his paperwork. He wasn’t sure how much time passed, but suddenly, feeling a presence, he glanced up.

Lynn stood there just inside the doorway. She was wearing nothing but a loose-fitting, strapless sundress that had his hands itching to push it from her body.

“Good morning, sugar,” Byron said as he shoved his chair back and held out his arms.

Lynn came over and crawled into his lap, knees hugging his hips, as she snuggled her face in his neck.

“What brings you by so early?” He asked as he rubbed her back gently.

Lynn gave a contented sigh as she kissed his neck. “I was lonely in that big bed by myself, and my wolf was feeling antsy because we wanted to tell you something.”

“Oh?”

She pulled back slightly and glanced up into his eyes, whispering, “I’m pregnant, Byron.”

Byron stared at her, not knowing what to say as her words swirled through his mind. A baby, we’re having a baby.

Of course, he knew it was a possibility. After all, it wasn’t like they had been doing anything to prevent it. To actually hear those words coming from his mate, though, to him, it was priceless.

“Well, say something, anything,” Lynn whispered nervously.

Byron had no words to describe his happiness, so he didn’t even try. Instead, he crashed his lips to hers and poured all his feelings of love into it. When they finally broke for air, he said, “Ah, sugar, you make me so happy.”

Lynn’s hands moved down his chest and under his shirt as she began to kiss his neck. Then she removed his shirt and lightly bit his mark, causing him to whimper, “Sugar, you’re going to make me….”

Lynn giggled as one of her hands brushed across his semi-erect cock. “Going to make you? It seems to me you already are.”

Byron softly growled as he yanked the top of her dress down to her waist. Then he bent her back over his arm and sucked one of her hard nipples into his mouth. Her hands grabbed hold of his hair as he lightly nipped, causing her to whimper before bringing his head back up.

“I need you.”

Silently she grabbed hold of his hand and ran it up under her skirt.

Byron raised an eyebrow when he discovered she had no panties on.

Lynn grinned, and in a sexy voice, asked, “So, what’s stopping you from having me?”

Byron moved his knees apart, which spread her legs. This allowed him to move his hand from her hip to between her thighs. With his hand now cupping her, he slides his finger slightly up inside her wet folds.

Lynn whimpered as her hips bucked, pushing his finger further in. “Byron.”

Byron captured her lips again as he continued to tease her until she came with a growl. Then he lifted his hips, pulling down his pants before thrusting upward. A groan escaped him when his shaft found its place inside her. With her wet warmth surrounding him, he hardened even more.

Placing his hands on her hips, he began to rock her gently on top of him. Deciding he needed more, he pulled out with a grunt and quickly stood her up. Turning her back to face him, he pushed her over his desk and entered her from behind.

Byron released a loud growl as he started thrusting hard and fast. Lynn’s little mews and moans drove him to push harder and more quickly until she came screaming his name. With just a couple more hard thrusts, he found his release as her walls pulsed tightly around his shaft.

They stayed like that, panting for breath until Byron felt her body release his. Pulling back, he pulled his shorts up before he sat back down.

Turning Lynn to face him once more, he gave each of her breasts a kiss before pulling her top back over them. Then he pulled her down to cuddle her in his lap once more.

“I love you so much, sugar. I can’t even imagine a life without you anymore,” Byron murmured in her ear as he rubbed her belly. “And soon we will have a little one to love also.”

Lynn gave him a sleepy smile and said, “I love you to Byron, and I don’t want a life without you. The little one is going to make our happiness even better.” Then, with a yawn, she snuggled her face back into his neck.

Byron glanced at the clock and saw it was almost ten, and the boys would be there soon. “Lynn, I hate to run you off, but I have a meeting.”

Lynn didn’t answer, and when Bryon glanced down, he found her fast asleep.

“Alpha?”

Byron glanced up.

Dan was watching him from the half-open door. Almost fearfully, he stated, “I knocked, but nobody answered.”

“It’s fine, Dan. Come on in. I just need to get Lynn woken up, so if you and the others will give me a moment….”

“It’s fine, sir. Don’t wake her if she’s asleep. She looks as if she’s quite comfortable,” one of the boys, who was standing behind Dan, said.

“Are you sure?” Byron questioned. “I can wake her, and she will understand. I promise she will.”

“It truly is fine,” Dan said as they all filed inside the office and took seats.

Byron was glad they had come and not changed their minds. Giving them each a smile, he said, “Hey, before you say anything, perhaps it would be helpful if I knew your names and ages.”

“I’ll start,” Dan said. “You already know my name is Dan. I’m the oldest of us, and I’m sixteen.”

Dan was blonde with blue eyes and reminded Byron of himself at sixteen.

“I’m Zack, and I’m fourteen.” He was a redhead with green eyes. He seemed the most nervous as he continually bounced his knee.

“I’m Dale, and I’m also fourteen.”

Dale was a redhead also, and Byron frowned, asking, “Are you, two twins?”

Zack and Dale nodded.

Byron huffed out a breath. They haven’t even told me anything, and already my heart hurts.

“My name is James, and I’m twelve,” James said in a slightly squeaky voice of a young man on the verge of becoming a teenager. He had jet black hair and blue eyes.

Something about him just seemed to call to Byron’s wolf. He tilted his head and let his wolf come forward. Byron saw them all jump nervously, and it told him that his eyes were now gold without words.

“First off, I want you to know you have nothing to fear from me,” Wolf Bryon stated. “I may be your Alpha, but I am a peacemaker first and always will be. Until yesterday I had never harmed anyone by word or deed, and I hope never to have cause again. At least, not as far as my pack members are concerned because if I have to fight for this Pack, then I will.”

“You need to understand, sir; all we’ve ever known is fear and intimidation from our Alpha,” Dan said.

Dan seemed to be their spokesperson, and Byron saw potential in him. “Dan, have you ever thought about taking a position in the pack?”

“No. I was considered weak. That’s why Chester—” Dan stopped as he looked down in shame.

“Head up, young Dan,” Byron said. “Unlike that idiot Chester, I see potential in you. When beta Joe returns, I want you to begin training with him. I think you will make me an excellent beta when he retires in a couple of years.”

Dan’s eyes widened. “Are you sure, sir? I mean, I would be honored but—”

“No buts, you will train to be beta,” Byron informed him. His wolf then returned to the back of his after having had his say.
