“He's Claire’s.”I state.
It's the only way he can be Wrath's son. He was never with another woman except for that fucking vile traitorous bitch when he was a teenager, and he had to have fathered Cam as a teenager with Cam being the size he is.
“Yeah.”Wrath spits out.
I look at all three men on the other side of the bed, and they look livid at the mention of her name, more than they normally would, even in this situation. Oh no, please, no. Their level of anger can only mean one thing.
“She did this to him?”I ask because I need them to confirm it. I can't jump to conclusions.
“Yeah, she did.”Shadow answers me.
From the look on Wrath's face right now, he can't answer me; he's trying to stay in control, and I don’t for one minute blame him for the way he feels right now. If I were him, I’d be struggling to stay in control of my temper too. It's got to feel like an added kick to the gut for him.
Sitting down in the empty chair on this side of the bed, I drop my head to my hands because, fuck, no child should ever have to experience what this one has. I hate people who hurt kids. As I look back up at my grandson's face, I see his eyes are open and he's staring at me. I can't help but smile. He even has the same eyes as us.
“Who are you?”He asks in a timid voice.
“I'm Blaze. And the two big lugs on the other side of your bed are my sons, which makes you my grandson.”I reply with a smile.
He breaks out in a massive smile before saying,“Oh wow, I have even more family. I've now got a Grandfather, Uncle, Dad, and Papa.”
My head quickly turns to the others when he mentions he has a Papa too. Is he telling me what I think he is? I can't help but laugh at the smirk on Flame’s face.
“Something you want to tell me?”I ask, staring directly at Wrath.
“Yeah, I finally claimed my man.”Wrath informs me with a smirk of his own.
“Took you long enough; I thought I’d end up dead before you finally got your head out of your ass where he was concerned.”I laugh.
Flame and Shadow start laughing too. Wrath's eyes just go wide. I do love getting reactions from my sons. They should know by now to expect the unexpected.
"Right, I'm going to leave you all to it. I'm off to sort out the house and make sure they've done as you've asked out there. See you later, everyone.”Shadow says as he gets up and leaves.
"Bye, son,”I shout after him.
"Bye, Uncle Shadow,”Cam shouts just after I finish talking.

Flame
We've all just been sitting around Cam's bed talking about random stuff and getting to know Cam better when my phone rings. Looking I see that it's Eagle. This can't be anything good.
Stepping away from the bed so Cam can't hear me, I answer the call.
“What's up?”I ask as soon as I answer.
“Someone broke into the garage. Luckily, Piston was still here in the office when it happened, so he caught the little prick. Do you want the first crack, or do you want me to call Blade? Shadow let me know what’s happened, so I understand if you need to stay where you are, but I thought you might need to work off some aggression.”
“Yeah, I fucking do. I've got some frustration to work out, for sure. Where are you holding him?”
“Tied up in the garage. No one else is here, and we're closed. We'll wait for you before we do anything; no point in starting without you.”
“I'll be there shortly. I'll let Wrath know what's happening. I'm with him now.”
“Okay, thanks, Flame; we'll see you shortly.”
Wrath's watching me from where he's moved closer, intensely waiting for me to tell him what's going on. He'd have picked up on the changes in my body language that something had happened.
