Page 49 of Protector Dragon's Shattered Mate

They got to see shifters they hadn’t seen since the battle, like Carolina and Davi, and they met a shifter they’d never gotten to meet before. His name was Garrett, and he was a rockstar in Las Vegas. His human mate, Lily, was very chatty and kissed the baby on the head.

They got to see Jackson again, the firefighter from Oregon, and his mate Helena, the demi-God’s granddaughter. Both of them touched Georgia’s cheeks and said how cute she was.

Next came Eli and Ava, a scientist who’d gained a legendary reputation by fighting an actual alien. Ava said the baby was the cutest she’d seen in a while.

And Katia, a shifter from Peru, and her mate Jace, a racecar driver, were both sleep-deprived from their own toddlers, and warned them not to skip any naps.

Falcon was there too. He was a sea pilot Levi had met when he’d traveled to Peru, and he had his human mate, Daisy, with him as well, who they hadn’t met until that night. Falcon embraced Levi and slapped his back. When Levi heard Daisy’s name, he smiled, thinking of Sofia’s sheep, who often busted through the fence just to come visit them at their new house.

A shifter named Wyatt, a football player for the Dallas Cowboys and his Fae mate, Liz, both came up to shake their hands and admire the baby.

Henrick, a circus magician who was both shifter and vampire, and his mate, Lyra, the vampire who’d turned him, waved at them but didn’t get too close to the baby. Levi trusted Henrick completely, but he appreciated the gesture.

Lucia, a wolf shifter, and Owen, who was a pilot from the same clan that Levi was born into, asked to hold her. When he handed her over, Lucia cradled her close for several minutes before handing her back.

And finally, they got to see Kane, the former mob-boss shifter, who had continued to behave himself long enough to get to attend a party. His mate Ember was also holding their own infant.

Seeing everyone was exciting, but overwhelming, and they ducked into the castle for a break.

After they’d walked through the old castle and taken a few photos, they went back outside where Nora was waiting for them.

“Before we start the baby shower, I have to say something.” Nora put one hand on his cheek and one on Sofia’s. The party we’re having tonight is only partially a shower for this sweet baby. It’s also going to be a celebration of having wrangled a very dangerous pack of wolves that were a threat to everyone here tonight.” She lowered her voice. “I am grateful to both of you for eternity.”

They moved closer, embracing, and Niall joined them. Not far away, Levi could see the four Irish brothers, nodding at Nora’s words.

Sofia put one hand on Georgia’s back. “And we’re forever indebted to all of you,” she said to Nora, Kellan, Quinn, Liam, and Brennan. “Because of you, I found my place in this world, as well as the love of my life, and my baby.”

Levi pulled her even closer. “She’s right. You all have my eternal gratitude.” He kissed the top of Sofia’s head. “And I’m so grateful you’re my mate,” he said.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the sky erupted with colorful fireworks that read,Happy All Hallow’s Eve, from the Worldwide Irish Supernatural Clan; everyone is welcome.
