MasukAnd then it was just us. Our family. I picked up Arianna while Tristan got Adrian, and we carried them upstairs to their nursery. The room had been redecorated twice as they'd grown—first to accommodate their crawling, then again when they started pulling up on furniture. Now it was a mix of cribs
Chapter 214 Athena I looked at Adrian in my arms, then at Arianna in Tristan's. They'd grown so much—both walking now (well, Arianna walked, Adrian preferred to crawl at high speed). Both babbling constantly in their own twin language that we couldn't quite decipher. Both showing more personality
Chapter 213 Athena The backyard was full of chaos—the beautiful, loud, messy kind of chaos that came from having a joint first birthday party for twins. I stood on the back porch, watching the scene unfold before me with a smile that felt permanently fixed on my face. Colorful balloons bobbed
Chapter 212 "Mama's sorry," I soothed, bouncing her gently. "But we need to figure this out before you touch any more plants, okay?" "Can I see?" Lily asked, pushing past the adults to get closer to the plant. "Wow, it's so pretty! And it smells good too." She was right. The plant was giving off

Chapter 199 Tristan Three months. That's how long we'd been married in every sense of the word, and I still couldn't quite believe my luck. I and Orion sat at dining table, nursing a cup of coffee while we sorted through some company documents. Sarah had taken Liam to a doctor's appointment,
I felt the power in his words, felt the way the air itself seemed to thicken with magic and purpose. "Tonight is especially significant," Orion continued, his voice filled with emotion. "We witness not only the mating of two souls, but the union of two packs through their leaders. We also witness s
