(EDITING) Under A Lonely Moon

Part Thirty Nine

Nova's P.O.V

'He's asleep so piss off before you wake him.' I grumbled as I saw my father peek round the door.

I snuggled my little mate closer to me, wrapping him up in my arms.

'Goodnight son, take care of him.' Father warned before he left.

I sighed. I'm such an idiot. How can i neglect my mate and my children like I have been? I should

Be able to handle my training and my family together, not putting one in front of the other.

I groaned in frustration and slumped farther into my pillow. I've never been a heavy sleeper. My

Body was just worn out to the max I guess. But that's no excuse. Like my father said, I need to get

My priorities in order and my alpha training isn't at the top of the list. Zak whimpered next to me

and I felt his little body tremble in my arms.

'Sshh, baby. It's okay. I'm here, sshh.' I whispered as I rubbed his back gently, pulling him even

Closer.

He relaxed and snuggled into me, sighing in content. I smiled. Looking at him now up close, I

Could see the dark circles under his eyes and his cheeks weren't as full and puffy as they normally

were. He really hadn't been sleeping or eating well. Fuck! I'm such an idiot. How can I not notice.

'Daddy,' I turned over, careful not to wake Zak up.

'What are you doing up Kasper?' I asked as I looked over at my little boy.

He pouted and crossed his arms over his chest. 'Dada naughty.' He pointed at me.

Crap. Now my son was telling me off. I sighed and carefully shuffled out of bed, picking Kas up

And walking into his room.

'Daddy sleeping?' He asked me.

'Yeah, daddy's sleeping bud.' I told him.

'Good. He tired so I help and sleep with Noah.' My little boy smiled up at me.

I was a little confused, but left it alone. 'How is Noah? Is he alright?' I asked him.

He nodded, 'he got a cold and is hot.' He looked sad.

Kasper was really attune to people's feelings, especially his family. 'Come on, get to bed and I'll go

Look after him now.'

Kasper seemed to think hard before he answered, 'promise dada?'

My heart sank. He thought I'd fall back to sleep and that Zak would end up waking up, not that I

Blame him for thinking that. 'I promise kiddo. I'll look after the twins.' I smiled, kissed his head

And tucked him into bed.

I left Kasper's room and went into the nursery. I peeked into Noah's cot and saw his little emerald

Eyes staring back up at me. I picked him up gently and hugged him to my chest. 'Cant my little boy

Sleep?' I whispered as I sat in the rocking chair. His little body was burning up. My poor baby.

I continued to rock my poorly baby gently until he fell to sleep. I kissed his feverish head before

putting him back in his cot. I checked on Izzy before climbing back into bed.

'N-nova?' Zak mumbled as I snuggled him into me.
