Edeline“I’m right behind you, so don’t even stress,” she said, patting her belly. Then her eyes went wide. “Oh my gosh, what if our pups are mates?! Like—at least one of them! Wouldn’t that be amazing?”Maximus cleared his throat as he set their little boy down to go play with the other pups. “My love... Percival’s kind of a distant relative, remember?”Mirabelle wrinkled her nose like it didn’t matter at all. “Yeah, distant. Like, eighth or ninth cousins or something. Totally fine. Sebastian and Freya are fourth cousins and look how strong their bond is. The moon doesn’t care if it’s that far back. Please, I am an oracle, remember? I know these things.”
EdelineTwo Years and Six Months LaterThe lake shimmered under the sunlight, like someone had sprinkled a million diamonds across the surface. I stared out at the waterfall just beyond the southern wall of the lake, a soft sigh slipping from my lips.So many memories lived behind that cascade. Not just the night we got engaged or the first time Percival and I truly became one—but all those little secret escapes we snuck in during the two years after the twins were born.Honestly, life has been pretty amazing.I’ve got this incredible partner—handsome, sweet, and honestly just perfect. Our twin boys are growing up fast and somehow getting
EdelineMy head fell back into the pillows, and my hands clung to his shoulders, trying to anchor myself in the moment. His mouth trailed lower, brushing kisses over my belly. Even at this early stage of everything, I could feel just how much we were wrapped up in each other—how much his strength pulled at something deep inside me, and how my own power answered his without hesitation.“Percival!” I gasped, breath catching as his hand slid between us. His thumb rubbed against the soaked lace covering my core, drawing a cry from my lips. But just when I needed more—needed him—he stopped.His lips pressed softly to the swell of my stomach. And when he looked up at me, there was nothing but love in those eyes.
Edeline The wedding? Honestly, it blew me away. I never imagined it could be so beautiful. My friends and family went all out—like, above and beyond—just to give me the most unforgettable day of my life. And then came the biggest surprise of all: Percival and I didn’t just exchange vows… we had a real, actual bonding ceremony.I didn’t think I could feel that much—like, really feel it—because we’d been marked as separate souls before. But in that moment, something shifted. I could see it in him—his memories, his thoughts, just wrapping around us both. And I knew he felt it too. The way his eyes locked onto mine? It said everything.And just when I thought that was it, Percival drops another surprise: he got us tickets to this private island—yeah, his ancestor’s private island. Even his dad had no clue it existed. Maximus helped pull it off, and that man apparently has more money than the Moon Goddess herself. William had lost the paperwork ages ago and never bothered to look into it,
EdelineIt was pure magic. Straight out of a storybook.And then… the music shifted. It was our song — the one Percival and I had picked together. "Bird That Can’t Fly." It was from a movie we’d both watched, one with a werewolf and a human girl. He ranted for a solid ten minutes about how the wolf should’ve gotten the girl and how vampires were “a plot hole.” We’d even fought about it — of course we did. But later that night, he made me dance with him to this exact song, just to make it up to me.That’s when I knew.He was mine.And this moment…This was ours.We always called it our tune. Just hearing the first few notes was enough to send goosebumps racing down my arms.While I waited, Mirabelle and Tatiana started walking down the aisle, followed by Nixx and Maximus. We never chose a maid of honor or best man — how could we? They were all family, all equally important. Choosing just one would’ve been impossible.Then I looked up… and there he was.Percival.Standing by the altar,
EdelineOne month afterwardI stared at my reflection in the mirror, letting out a small breath. This was the fifth wedding dress I’d tried on, and finally… finally, I could feel it — this was the one. “Beautiful” didn’t even cut it. The gown was something else entirely. Its off-white fabric shimmered just slightly, with lace draped delicately over the bodice and tiny natural pearls sewn in like stars. It matched the veil perfectly, like it was all made just for me.My cheeks were flushed — glowing, really — and I couldn’t help but smile at myself. The best part? You couldn’t even tell I was pregnant. The way the dress flared out from the waist in a princess cut was exactly what I needed. It flowed over my bump like magic, and I felt both elegant and safe.I’d been gaining weight quicker than expected — I mean, I’m carrying twins. Not just any twins either — two strong little wolf pups. Werewolf pregnancies are no joke; they’re usually harder than human ones, and making it to full ter
