INICIAR SESIÓNAnd 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 50 "Trust him," Tristan whispered in my ear, his breath warm against my skin. "Trust that he knows when to stop." As if he'd heard those words, Orion suddenly pulled back from the killing blow. Instead of ending Daxon's life, he grabbed him by the throat and hauled him to his feet like he
Chapter 48 Tristan's POV I watched Athena walk away from me, her shoulders rigid with hurt and anger, and I didn't move a single inch to follow her. Every fiber of my being screamed at me to chase after her, to fix this mess I'd created with my careless words, but I forced myself to stay rooted
Chapter 56 Athena's POV My eyes fluttered open to find myself still wrapped in Tristan's arms. He was fast asleep, his face relaxed in a way I hadn't seen since I came back. The tension lines around his eyes had smoothed out, and his breathing was deep and even. I studied his features in the mor
"Don't," Tristan said, his breath fanning across my neck and sending an unwelcome shiver down my spine. Why was my body still reacting to him like this?
