I stroked his hair as he continued to listen, my heart so full it felt like it might burst from my chest. This private moment—so different from the public announcement, from the formal congratulations and political undercurrents—felt sacred in its simplicity. Just a father connecting with his children, a mate caring for his family.

"Hello, little ones," Theo whispered, his breath warm through the thin silk covering my skin. "It's your father."

Artemis pushed closer to the surface, her golden-green presence responding to Aeson's proximity. Through our shared consciousness, I felt her joy at this interaction, her satisfaction at our mate's dedication to our growing pups.

"I know you can't understand words yet," Theo continued, his voice so soft it was barely audible, "but I want you to know how loved you are already. How wanted. How precious."

His hand came up to rest beside his cheek, fingers splayed protectively across my abdomen. "Your mother and

    Christian's chest rose and fell with a deep breath. "You can tell her exactly that," he said. "Later today, if you want. I suspect they're keeping to themselves this morning, but we could visit them for tea."I nodded against him, drawing back slightly to wipe at my eyes. As I did, my gaze caught on the moonstone ring that still felt new and precious on my finger, its opalescent surface catching the morning light. A thought that had been forming in the back of my mind for days suddenly crystallised."Christian," I began hesitantly, "I've been thinking about our wedding."His body tensed slightly, almost imperceptibly. "What about it?"I sat up, needing to see his face for this conversation. "Maybe... maybe we should wait. Just until all of this settles down. Until after the babies are born.”Surprise flickered across his features, quickly replaced by careful neutrality. "If that's what you want," he said, his voice giving nothing away. "T

    The news anchor's perfectly coiffed hair and practiced sympathetic expression made me want to throw something at the television. Christian and I lay propped against the headboard of our bed, his arm around my shoulders as we watched the morning coverage of Theo and Emma's pregnancy announcement. What should have been purely joyful news had predictably become fodder for political debate, with the anchor's voice maintaining a veneer of neutrality that barely masked the sensationalism beneath. "While many celebrate the historic announcement," she intoned, "others have raised concerns about the implications of mixed-blood heirs to the throne." I felt Sierra stir within me, her golden presence bristling with indignation that matched my own."Concerns," I echoed bitterly. "Such a polite word for bigotry."Christian's fingers tightened on my shoulder, his own jaw clenched as the broadcast cut to an interview with Lord Kensington, his silver hair immaculately styled, his e

    Emma smiled as she read Alpha Rodriguez's formal statement: "The Sierra Luna Pack celebrates this joyous news. These children will embody everything we have worked toward—a future where lineage matters less than character, where our differences strengthen rather than divide us."Her finger paused over another section, where Elder Moonshadow of the Eastern Forests Pack had described ancient werewolf traditions associated with twin births. "Twins are considered a powerful blessing," the elder was quoted. "In werewolf tradition, they represent balance—day and night, sun and moon, two aspects of a greater whole.""That's beautiful," Emma murmured, her voice soft with emotion. "I didn't know about that tradition.""Nor did I," I admitted. "We should invite Elder Moonshadow to perform a blessing ceremony."Emma nodded, her expression brightening with each positive reaction we read. She reached for one of the tablets, scrolling through social media posts

    Sunlight filtered through the partially drawn curtains, painting golden stripes across our rumpled bedding. I'd been awake for nearly an hour, watching Emma sleep beside me, her dark hair splayed across the pillow, one hand curled protectively over the small swell of her abdomen even in slumber. The morning after our announcement felt strangely anticlimactic… the world now knew our secret, yet here in our private sanctuary, nothing had changed. Emma still breathed the same gentle rhythm, our children still grew safely within her, and I still marveled at the miracle of it all. But beyond these walls, I knew the kingdom churned with reactions both celebratory and venomous.Aeson stirred restlessly within me, his protective instincts heightened since last night's gala. He pushed images through our shared consciousness: standing guard, teeth bared at invisible threats, our mate and unborn pups shielded behind his massive form. His anxiety translated into physical restlessness,

    I sank onto the edge of our bed, relief washing through me as I finally slipped off the elegant heels that had been pinching my toes all evening. The emerald dress, chosen specifically to highlight rather than hide my growing pregnancy, now felt constricting after hours of diplomatic smiles and careful conversations. Artemis stirred within me, her golden presence warm and satisfied at having our news officially acknowledged, but even she felt the bone-deep exhaustion that came from carrying twins while navigating a political minefield. Through the bathroom door, I heard water running as Theo showered, his low humming carrying over the sound. It was these quiet moments I treasured most; away from judging eyes and whispered comments, away from the politics that had transformed what should have been purely joyous news into something more complicated.My lady's maid had helped me out of the elaborate gown before discreetly withdrawing, leaving me to my own devices. I pulled on
