The delivery room was completely bright and buzzing with happy energy. But the sweet human nurse holding her arms out instantly froze.
Zarek towered over the poor woman in his expensive, totally rumpled dark suit. His golden eyes were blazing with a terrifying, wild fire. The deep, rumbling growl that ripped out of his chest did not sound human at all.
"Nobody touches my children," Zarek growled. He snatched the tightly wrapped bundle right out of the doctor's hands before the nurse could even blink.
Zarek pulled his brand new son tightly against his massive chest. He turned his broad back to the hospital staff, completely shielding the tiny baby from everyone in the room. The poor nurse looked like she was going to pass out from pure fear. She backed up against the wall, totally terrified of the giant mafia boss holding his baby hostage.
Roxy let out a totally exhausted sigh from the hospital bed.
