LOGINAnd 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 97 Tristan The pack compound was buzzing with activity when we arrived. Sunday night meetings were mandatory for all pack members, a time to discuss territory issues, resolve disputes, and plan for the week ahead. I could smell Marcus's scent the moment I walked through the main doors. He
