Athena

I showed the message to Tristan who laughed.

"You should tell her no," he said.

"I know," I said, typing back a response.

Me: You're stuck with him. Just like I'm stuck with him being best man. We suffer together.

Kiara: This is your fault, you know. You're the one who made us work together.

Me: I thought it would help!

**Kiara:** You thought wrong. The man is insufferable.

Me: But you're still doing it?

Kiara: Of course I'm still doing it. I'm not going to let him run me off. I just needed to complain for a minute.

I smiled at that, at least Kiara wasn't actually going to quit, even if she and Derek drove each other crazy.

"Crisis averted?" Tristan asked.

"For now," I said.

He pulled me closer and I settled against his side, his hand still on my stomach even though there was no visible sign of the babies yet, I was almost seven weeks now and while I'd had some nausea and fatigue, I wasn't showing at all.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, like he did multiple times

    Chapter 160Vic swerved right, hard and deliberate, but Tristan had already heard the change in Vic's engine, had already sensed what was coming through a dozen tiny signs normal people couldn't process. He braked for maybe half a second, just enough to let Vic's bike sweep past where he'd been, then shot forward into the gap Vic had just created.Fourth position now."He's reading them," Orion said, something like awe in his voice. "He's reading all of them at once.""What do you mean?" Sarah asked confused."Every rider has tells," Derek explained, his eyes never leaving the track. "The way they lean before a turn, how they adjust their grip before speeding up, the sound their engine makes when they're about to shift. Most riders can maybe track one or two opponents at a time. Tristan's tracking all six at once."They went into the next turn and this is where it got really dangerous. The turn was tight, banked wrong, with a concrete wall on the inside that had ended more than one r

    Chapter 159Athena"God I still can't believe you got him to race," Sarah said next to me, her voice tight with nerves.I watched Tristan on Derek's bike at the starting line, rolling his shoulders with that smooth, dangerous grace that always made my breath catch. "He wanted to. I could see it in his eyes.""Still," Sarah said, "Tristan never goes back on his words, I never believed he'd race again.""So did I," Orion said, his other arm holding her waist, but there was something almost excited in his tone now. He knew what Tristan could do. We all did.Down at the starting line, Tristan moved with easy precision, testing the bike's weight, checking the tire pressure with his boot. Even from here, I could see the change in him—the way his senses were already taking everything in. Wind direction. Track temperature. The slight shake in one of the other bikes that meant something was loose.Derek stood beside him, probably giving last-minute advice, but Tristan wasn't really listenin

    Chapter 158Athena"Or maybe you just haven't found the right dresses yet," Kiara said. "Don't give up."The consultant at the third shop was older and had this knowing look in her eyes when I explained what I was looking for."I think I have exactly what you need," she said, disappearing into the back.She came back with two dresses, one draped over each arm, and the moment I saw them I felt my breath catch."These," I said, pointing. "Can I try these?""Of course," the consultant said with a smile like she'd known all along these would be the ones.I tried on the mating ceremony dress first and the moment I saw myself in the mirror I knew this was it.It was flowy and romantic with delicate lace sleeves and a skirt that moved like water, it felt ethereal and connected to nature and absolutely perfect."Oh my god," Sarah breathed when she saw me. "Athena, that's the one.""You look beautiful," Kiara agreed."Like a fairy princess," Leah added.I turned in front of the mirror, watchin

    Chapter 156Athena"Anyway," Sarah said, turning back to me. "The point is we should start early, you have two dresses to find and that's going to take some time.""Okay," I agreed. "I trust you.""Good," Sarah said. "Because I have a whole schedule mapped out for the next four months.""Of course you do," I said with a laugh.The rest of the morning passed quickly with more planning and list making. Tristan and Orion disappeared at some point to go look at potential ceremony sites, leaving Sarah and me to continue working through details.Around lunchtime my phone buzzed with a text from Leah asking if we wanted to meet for coffee to discuss more wedding plans, Sarah immediately agreed and we made plans to meet that afternoon."Should we invite Kiara?" I asked."Definitely," Sarah said. "She's the maid of honor, she should be involved in all the planning."I texted Kiara and she responded almost immediately saying she'd be there.A few hours later, Sarah and I were sitting in a coff

    Chapter 155AthenaI woke up the next morning to the smell of coffee and bacon, and for a moment I just lay there with my eyes closed, listening to the sounds of the house coming alive, Lily's high-pitched laughter from downstairs, Liam's babbling, the low murmur of adult voices.Tristan's arm was still around me, his hand resting on my stomach like it always did now, and I felt this overwhelming sense of contentment wash over me.We were getting married in four months.The thought made me smile even before I opened my eyes, made warmth spread through my chest until I felt like I might burst with it."I can feel you smiling," Tristan's voice said, rough with sleep..I opened my eyes to find him already awake, watching me with that soft expression that made my heart do flips."I'm happy," I said simply."Good," he said, leaning down to kiss me. "You should be happy, you're getting everything you ever wanted.""We're getting everything we ever wanted," I corrected."True," he agreed, hi
