"It's my fault," Mila admitted helplessly. "I was arguing on the phone and woke him up. He got scared."
"Give him to me."
Mila hesitated. She couldn't calm the baby herself.
And Dominic... The man who knew only how to fight and kill... How could he possibly soothe a crying newborn?
Still, she carefully placed Cassian in his arms.
Dominic cradled him with surprising gentleness.
"My boy," he murmured. "You shouldn't cry like this."
He gently stroked the baby's tiny head.
Almost immediately, Cassian stopped crying.
Mila stared in disbelief. "He... he stopped."
She covered her mouth. "How did you do that?"
Dominic smirked. "He is my son. He knows I'm here. As long as I'm with him, he has nothing to fear. Why would he cry?"
His certainty made her heart ache.
She knew Dominic was fearless. She knew he was powerful enough to eliminate countless enemies. But there were simply too many of them.
How long could he continue fighting?
