CADE

“Thank you for doing this,” I said softly as soon as Arden was gone. “It means a lot to the both of us.”

Bethany had just finished explaining the danger of everything—what the fight ahead would look like, what we could lose—but none of it compared to the fact that she had chosen to stand with us anyway. I met her gaze fully, filled with gratitude. “We wouldn’t be able to do any of this without you.”

She sat behind her desk, her back straight, arms folded.

Bethany nodded once. “You’re welcome,” she said. Then, after a pause, she tilted her head. “Are you two… mates?”

I was surprised by the sudden shift in topic. “Oh. Yes,” I answered, joy blooming in my chest. “Second chance,” I added, running a hand through the back of my hair.

She raised a brow. “So, you weren’t her original mate?”

I shook my head. “No, I wasn’t.”

My tone instinctively darkened as I added, “It was originally Jaxon Trevane from the West.”

Bethany hummed thoughtfully, but I rushed on before she could say

Cade is so in love with Arden and I love it! She deserves to have someone love her the way Cade does! I hope Arden tells Cade everything and he makes Kieran regret his actions! I think Bethany is helping because she knows Arden is her daughter.

Oh Arden. Kieran is an absolute jerk! I cannot believe he kissed her. I’m sure he did it just to shatter her. The conversation Cade had with Bethany really has me thinking that Bethany is Arden’s mom. I want to know how Arden ended up with her terrible family!

    TESSA“Come on. Say it again.” “A–ah… Rowan,” I moaned as he continued to tease me. “You said it so effortlessly a while ago. I won’t hold it against you if you say it again. In fact, I’ll stop moving if you don’t say it,” he teased with a smirk. With that, he halted his movement. I think you already know what happened after I said that word. The wedding preparations had undoubtedly taken up a lot of our time, so we had reduced the number of times we were making love. Now, all hell broke loose. I was right on top of him. From this position, I could see everything—from his teasing smirk to his muscular body, and even my slight belly bump that Rowan was already obsessed with. He kept fondling the still-soft area, and I didn’t even know I was sensitive in that area until now. I started moving my hips instinctively because I was so close to my release. Only a few more. However, Rowan decided to stop moving because I hadn’t called him that word once since he placed his cock inside my

    TESSA I still hadn’t told him, though the words had been sitting at the back of my throat for days now, waiting to be freed. However, every time I tried, I faltered.Maybe it was cowardice. Maybe it was fear. Or maybe it was because Rowan had been so unbearably excited for the wedding that I didn’t want to do anything that might dim that light in his eyes. What if the moment I spoke the truth, it shifted his focus? What if it burdened him instead of blessing him?He had told me once—more than once, actually—that he was ready for another child. Although most of the time, it had a flirty undertone. So, I didn’t know what to make of it. My hand drifted to my stomach, smoothing over the fabric of my shirt. It wasn’t obvious yet, but I could feel the faint swell and the slight tightness of my clothes. According to my assessment, I was nearly two months along, and that was closer to halfway through than I had realized. It startled me how quickly time moved when I was holding back. The fr

    ROWANI was humming happily as I drove through the borders of the South, smiling when I saw our house from afar. I actually didn’t want to go to the meeting today because Tessa was finally going to try on her wedding dress. Gosh, I wanted to see her in it already, but I must respect tradition. The groom can only see his bride on the actual day of the wedding. I held back pretty well, considering I went to the meeting. That and Cade would cut my head off if I didn’t go. Not literally, of course—although I’m not quite sure about that. I for sure wouldn’t let him, though. Speaking of Cade, we were supposed to head back together, but he was held back in the United Factions for a while by some elders. Unlucky for him. However, that was the consequence of being a Praetor.I grinned to myself as I pushed open the gates, already picturing her face. I felt like a pup on the night before his first run, jittery and unable to hold still. I’d done everything I could to make the wedding preparat

    ROWANIt was supposed to be just another meeting with the staff of the United Factions, but honestly? It felt more like a fan meeting—like the ones those K-pop stars would have with their fans. They thought we didn’t notice. They thought our heightened senses didn’t pick up on the whispers, the small sighs whenever one of us leaned back in our chairs or casually ran a hand through our hair. They forgot we were werewolves, and not just ordinary ones. We were True Alphas. Even Cade, who didn’t have the same royal blood as we did, could feel it. “I want this to be a weekly thing,” one of the staff murmured from the back.“We’re so lucky to be working under them,” another whispered.“They’re so handsome. Wow, I’m not even tired despite this long meeting.”I smirked. Before this meeting, I bumped into Owen. He told me he was already tired because we looked like an “F4 lineup.” Did I know what F4 meant? Not really, but I could infer that it meant we looked cool.Looking at all four of u

    TESSA There were a thousand things left to do, and yet everyone kept telling me it was all taken care of.The problem was—it didn’t feel like it.I sat at the long dining table, staring down at the third slice of chocolate cake on my plate. My fork was already halfway through it when Arden’s voice cut through my very fragile state of denial.“Relax,” she said firmly. She bounced Jared lightly on her lap, her dark hair pulled back into a loose braid. “I am relaxed,” I muttered, though the force with which I shoveled cake into my mouth might have betrayed me.Arden raised an eyebrow but didn’t push further. Instead, Jared cooed in her arms, the sound so perfectly timed it was somehow mocking. That little boy—four months old and already the center of the world. I swore, he wasn’t just advanced, he was a baby genius!He had said his first word two weeks ago at four months. Most babies, according to every parenting book out there, don’t say their first word until ten to fourteen months.

    TESSA“You didn’t answer my question,” Rowan muttered against my lips as we arrived at his room. Calla was staying with Arden and Cade at the house that Cade had built near Rowan’s house. He said they were going to “visit often” from now on; so they needed a house in this area. News flash. They really did visit quite often—nearly every week since the small yet extravagant house was built. It seemed Cade had been planning it for a long time, and he didn’t even ask Rowan’s permission to build near his lot. Rowan didn’t seem to mind, though. Well, he did scold Cade once he found out, saying he would have it demolished. However, Rowan played earnestly with Jarden right after. Calla loved staying with them, too, because she considered Jared her little brother already. “You already know my answer,” I whispered back before placing a kiss on his lips. “You didn’t even have to ask.” “How could I not?” he asked softly. “You deserve everything in the entire world.” I held onto his cheeks.
