The day had passed so quickly that I barely noticed when night fell. I couldn’t remember the last time I’d felt this content, this… safe. Alaric never let go of me, whether it was casually resting a hand on my thigh or lacing our fingers together. It was like he needed to reassure himself that I was still here, and I found myself clinging just as much.

When it was time for bed, I had started toward my room, but before I could even argue, Alaric had scooped me up effortlessly and carried me straight to his.

“You’re sleeping here tonight,” he said firmly, as if daring me to challenge him.

I didn’t.

He tucked me in, pressing a kiss to my forehead before whispering, “Sleep, Anna.”

The next morning, training resumed, but I immediately noticed the difference. Alaric was still strict, still relentless, but the pressure had lessened. He no longer demanded perfection, and when I got something right, he actually smiled.

He smiled. While training!!!

I never thought I’d see the day.

  • Married My Ex's Uncle In My Second Time   Epilogue

    Five Years Later – Anna’s POVThe sun dipped low on the horizon, spilling warm gold across the ocean as the waves lazily kissed the shore. The breeze was soft, salty, and carried the sound of distant laughter, the kind that comes only from those who know joy down to their bones.I sat on a beach lounger under a white linen canopy, my toes buried in the sand, a fruity drink melting beside me. My eyes drifted over the scene before me, my heart so full it could’ve burst.Alaric stood waist-deep in the water, strong arms outstretched as he hoisted a squealing little boy into the air, only to lower him gently back into the sea. Beside them, a tiny girl clung to Tristan’s neck like a koala, giggling as he spun her in the shallows.“Be gentle, Lyra!” Celeste called from the blanket where she sat, sunhat tilted to one side, her ever-present sass now softened by love. “Your uncle has a bad back, remember?”Tristan turned and narrowed his eyes at her dramatically. “I’m not that old, woman.”Cel

    Lisa's screams echoed off the walls like the rantings of a woman already half-dead. Her eyes glinted with unhinged fury as she stormed around the abandoned warehouse. Then, in a move that made my blood run cold, she picked up what looked like part of a broken windshield from the floor."No!" I gasped.Without hesitation, she slammed it against the ground beside me.Glass exploded outward. Tiny shards tore into my exposed skin, my legs, my arms, hot lines of pain blooming everywhere. I flinched, heart hammering against my ribs. But I didn’t scream. I didn’t move too fast. Because in the chaos, a small, sharp shard had landed just within reach of my bound hands.I felt the breath catch in my throat.Carefully. Quietly. I twisted my body to the side and inched my fingers toward it, ignoring the sting of fresh cuts on my skin. My hand trembled as I gripped the jagged piece, then began to saw at the thick rope binding my wrists. One strand. Then another.Almost there.Then… silence.I froz

    Anna – POVThe cold hit me first.A cold, damp chill that bit into my skin and wrapped itself around my bones. Then the pain came.My head throbbed, rhythmic like someone hammering from the inside. My wrists burned as it was bound too tightly behind me, and the rope scraped my skin with every panicked breath I took.The scent was next. Mold. Dust. Faintly familiar.No… no. No no no.I opened my eyes slowly, praying to see Alaric’s ceiling. Praying to wake up to the sound of his low voice calling me a sleepyhead as he kissed my forehead.But instead, I saw it.The same walls. The same cracked concrete floor. That same rusted water pipe dripping steadily from the corner.My heart stopped.I knew this place.It was the place.The place I had woken up in before my first death. Before everything reset. The place where my life had ended in pain.Terror curled in my stomach like ice water.Was it all a dream?Alaric?My family?The charity ball, the proposal, the wedding dress fitting just y

    Only three more days.Three more days and I’d be Anna Sinclair, Mrs Alaric Sinclair. Even just thinking about it sent a shiver of disbelief through me. How had we come so far?Wedding planning was… a beast. A beast dressed in silk and glitter and back-to-back meetings. But with Ellie, Mom, and a surprisingly enthusiastic Alaric’s mother on my team, it hadn’t been too overwhelming. Besides, I was marrying the love of my life. Every stress melted under the weight of that simple fact.Tonight was just for us.No stylists. No photographers. No planners. Just me and Alaric, sharing a quiet dinner like we used to while we were still fake dating.I smiled to myself as I slowed to a red light. The memory of my final wedding dress fitting still floated in my mind like a dream.It was perfect.The way the fabric hugged my figure, the way the veil shimmered softly behind me… The look on Ellie’s face when she saw me in it said everything. I couldn’t wait for Alaric to see me in it. To see the way

    I woke up to the soft kiss of morning light on my face and the warm weight of blankets cocooning me in comfort. But none of that compared to the real warmth beside me.Alaric.His face was turned toward me, lips parted just slightly in sleep, chest rising and falling in a slow, peaceful rhythm. Even disheveled from sleep, he looked like something pulled from a fever dream, hair tousled, stubble along his jaw, and that damn infuriatingly perfect bone structure.How did I get so lucky?And then everything I’d said last night hit me.My throat tightened.What had I done?I had basically confessed to being a reincarnated time traveller that die in another life. And instead of just easing him into it, like a sane person would, I dumped the entire tragic, supernatural mess in his lap… in bed… after an emotional night.God. What was wrong with me?What if he thought I was unstable? Or worse… pitied me?I suddenly needed space. Just a little air. A few minutes alone to breathe, to think, to f

    Alaric The party was over, but the warmth lingered. The city passed by in a blur outside the tinted windows of the car, all glittering lights and distant noise. But inside, everything was quiet, peaceful. Anna was curled up beside me, her head resting gently against my chest, her breath soft and even. I held her close. Her head was tucked against my chest like she belonged there, like she'd always been meant to fit into my life, into me. And she did belong there. The diamonds on her wrist caught the light now and then, but they were nothing compared to the spark she brings to my life just by being near. I looked down at her. Her lashes fluttered with each breath, her lips slightly parted in sleep. She looked so content, so safe. And all I could think was how close I had come to missing this. if I hadn't been attacked in the alley and been incapacitated, I wouldn't have been in this position right now. I remember thinking about how cute she looked, like a dear caught in h
