Sera, Amelia, and Lillian exchanged brief glances before quietly stepping back, understanding that the Alpha no longer needed their assistance.
Takoda immediately picked up her spoon, while Dakota slowly did the same. Kade remained beside them, watching carefully as they began their breakfast.
For a moment, the scene felt almost ordinary. There was nothing extraordinary about a mother, a father, and their daughter sitting together for breakfast, yet to Kade, the simplicity of it carried a meaning he had never expected to experience. This was his family—the family he had spent years believing he would never have.
He leaned back slightly as he watched Dakota take her first careful spoonful.
"How does it taste?"
Dakota swallowed before giving him a small smile. "Good."
"You're not just saying that?"
"No."
Takoda immediately nodded in agreement. "It's delicious."
Kade smiled. "Then eat."
