"You just called him father," Bellezza said quickly, trying to hold back her excitement. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Angela.
"Oh okay. Is something wrong with that?" Angela asked, her brows furrowed in confusion.
"No dear," Marcus said softly as he stood up from his seat. He wanted to be alone for a while, to take in what he had just heard. "I'll be back," he murmured, walking away quietly.
Angela watched him leave and then turned to Bellezza, who had already moved closer. She sat beside her and smiled warmly. "You called him father without realizing it," Bellezza said gently. "That feeling is so special and overwhelming. I don't think Marcus will get over it anytime soon. That's why he had to step out."
"I'm glad I made him happy," Angela said with a soft smile. Just then, Renn, Stales, and the girls came back from shopping, carrying several bags.
"Trust me, Alpha Renn and I bought nothing," Stales said, sitting opposite them. "It's all for the girls."
