LOGINAria’s POVFor a moment, I couldn't move. I could barely breathe.The man I had once feared I might never be able to love had just asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. And the most beautiful part was that I wanted to.I wanted the ordinary mornings, the late-night conversations, the laughter, the disagreements, and the endless memories we would create together. I wanted him.A sob escaped my lips as I nodded."Yes," I whispered.Lucian's eyes widened slightly. I laughed through my tears and repeated myself."Yes, Lucian. I will marry you."The hall erupted into cheers and applause.Mother was crying openly, while Silas whistled loudly enough to make several guests laugh. Kian and Kieran clapped their little hands, although I doubted they fully understood what was happening.Lucian rose to his feet, his face breaking into the widest smile I had ever seen.He gently slipped the ring onto my finger. Before I could say anything else, he pulled me into his arms.I wrapped mine a
Aria’s POVThe celebration began with laughter, music, and the excited voices of our guests filling the beautifully decorated hall.The triplets were the centre of attention, as they should have been. Mother had spared no expense in making their first birthday memorable. From the colourful decorations to the beautifully arranged tables and the enormous birthday cakes, everything was perfect.Kian and Kieran were particularly excited. They kept pointing at the decorations and giggling whenever someone approached them with a present. The triplets, on the other hand, seemed more interested in the colourful balloons and the people clapping around them.When it was finally time to cut the cakes, everyone gathered around us.I stood behind the triplets with Lucian beside me, while Mother, Kael and Silas helped guide their little hands towards the cake knives."Happy birthday!" Everyone chorused.Kian giggled as his hand sank into the soft icing, while Kieran immediately tried to scoop some
Aria’s POV"What's going through that pretty head of yours?" he asked.I blinked."Nothing,” I shrugged. He gave me a knowing look."You're smiling.""Am I not allowed to smile?""Of course you are. I just want to know what you're smiling about."I lowered my eyes to our joined hands."You."His fingers tightened slightly around mine."Me?"I nodded. "Yes, you."He smiled, and I felt that familiar warmth spread through my chest.I had come to love that smile. I loved the way his eyes softened whenever he looked at me. I loved how he always seemed to know when I needed a little reassurance. I loved the way he treated my children as though their happiness mattered as much as his own.Most importantly, I loved how he made me feel safe, wanted, and chosen.I lifted my gaze to his."Lucian?""Hmm?""Thank you."His brows drew together."For what?""For everything."I took a small step closer."For the love you've shown me. For your patience, your kindness, and for never making me feel lik
Aria's POVI stared at my reflection in the mirror, took a deep breath, and tried again."Lucian, you've shown me what it means to be loved without having to beg for it. You've been patient with me, even when I wasn't sure I could ever love you the way you loved me. And now..."I stopped. My cheeks warmed as I stared at myself."And now, I want to spend the rest of my life with you."I shook my head.No. That sounded too rehearsed. Then I tried again."Lucian, I love you. I want to be your wife, and I want us to..."I pressed my lips together.Why was this so difficult?I had written several versions of my proposal the previous night, but none of them seemed good enough. Every time I imagined standing before Lucian and asking him to marry me, excitement would fill my chest, only for fear to creep in moments later.What if I stumbled over my words?What if I became so nervous that I forgot everything?What if he laughed?I immediately dismissed the last thought. Lucian wouldn't laugh a
Aria’s POVMother blinked. Then she stared at me."You're going to do what?"I burst out laughing."Ask him to marry me!"She covered her mouth, and for a moment, I worried she might faint. Then she began laughing."Oh, Aria!""What? Is it a bad idea?""No!" She shook her head, still smiling. "It's just that I wasn't expecting you to say that."I grinned."I know. But I don't want to keep waiting for the perfect moment. Tomorrow is the boys' birthday. Our family will be together, and Lucian will be there. I thought it would be a beautiful time to tell him how I feel."Sophia looked at me for a long moment. Then she smiled."That's actually a lovely idea.""You think so?""I do. If you're certain about what you want, there's nothing wrong with taking the first step yourself."I laughed softly."I've been thinking about it all day. I even imagined what I would say, but every time I practiced, I started laughing.""Then don't practice too much. Speak from your heart."I nodded, feeling a
Aria’s POVThe months passed in what felt like the blink of an eye.The triplets grew stronger, their little personalities becoming more obvious with each passing week. Kian and Kieran remained devoted big brothers, although their idea of helping sometimes involved bringing the babies toys that were far too large for their tiny hands.Lucian became a permanent fixture in our home.He still had his duties as Alpha, and there were days when meetings and pack emergencies kept him away longer than he wanted. But he always called, and he always found a way to visit.Sometimes, he arrived looking exhausted, his shoulders tense from the weight of his responsibilities. Yet the moment the boys ran to greet him, his face would soften.I began to recognize the different versions of him.The Alpha who could silence a room with a single word.The man who listened patiently when I spoke about my fears.The playful companion who let my children climb all over him.And the person who would sit beside
Aria's POVThe moment my eyes landed on her, my heart shattered into a million pieces. My knees buckled, but I grabbed the wall for support before I could collapse. It was truly her. Vivienne—the only woman Alpha Kael craved for. When did he find her? I knew he was desperately searching every
Aria’s POV. “Congratulations, Luna Aria. You’re finally going to be a mother!” The doctor’s words hit me like a thunderclap. “What?” the word escaped my lips before I could stop it. “The heir to the Silverfang Pack is growing in your womb. You’re two weeks gone, Aria,” Lea, the pack doctor,
Kael’s POV “Shit!” I yelled, punching the table. “Alpha, please be calm,” Silas advised, watching as I paced the room. I ran my hand through my hair in rage, anger dominating every vessel in my body. “Did you see that, Silas? She not only disrespected me, but she also walked out on me!” I bl
Aria’s POV.I staggered down the stairs, my face pale like someone who life was slowly being drained out of. If I hadn’t heard everything myself... if someone had told me, I wouldn’t have believed Kael could do such a cruel thing.“Luna...” Silas, who was standing at the end of the stairs, called,
