Arthur, male alpha, 28, faced the biggest crisis of his life at a kindergarten gate.
"It's just for one more night, Princess," he crouched in front of a scowling little girl, whose tears were only one breeze away from falling. "Your papa had a fever this morning."
"Then Hannah should stay to nurse Papa!" the little girl replied harshly. "Hannah and Papa nurse Daddy when Daddy have a fever before!"
Arthur felt like the fever had come back to him. "B-but...you might get sick, too."
"Then Daddy should nurse Papa! Hannah can watch from afar!"
"I...can't..." Arthur bit his lips.
God knew how much he wanted to do that, helping Eugene through the heat. But even though he was Hannah's father, he wasn't Eugene's alpha. Above all that...
He was scared he wouldn't be able to keep his head straight.
Naturally, the little princess didn't know all of that and kept scowling at him. She even crossed her arms and turned her head away from him.
