The Contract Omega( MXM Romance) Epilogue: Part 2
Aldric POVMira arrived last. As she had always arrived at things for as long as any of us knew her, at full volume and carrying something she had definitely been told not to bring but had brought anyway. “I know,” she said before anyone could speak. “I know. We said no presents. These are not presents. These are educational materials.” “Those are toy dinosaurs,” Adrian said. “Large-scale, anatomically accurate replicas,” Mira corrected. “For educational purposes.” James took his with the gravity of someone receiving something important. Lucas had already opened his. Adrian, who was nine and had been told he was too old for this kind of thing, and clearly disagreed, accepted his with dignity. “Thank you, Mira,” he said. “See?” she said to the room. “Educational.” She had been there through everything, the pregnancy, the kidnapping, the NICU, the years of learning to be parents, the twins, and everything the past decade had accumulated. She had cried at every significant event, u
The Contract Omega( MXM Romance) Epilogue: Part 1
Caelen POVThe house had been loud in the way it had been for years now. Not the sharp, alarming noise of a newborn or the exhausted hum of early toddlerhood, but a particular kind of loudness belonging to three boys who had grown into themselves, into their opinions, humor, and unique ways of moving through a room. Adrian, at nine, carried the focused intensity of someone who had already decided what mattered and pursued it with unwavering determination. The twins, at seven, engaged in a continuous bilateral conversation, James methodical and precise, Lucas perpetually in motion. Together, they exuded a gravity all their own.The house held all of this as it always had, still featuring the wooden letters on Adrian’s wall and the star mobile long since stored away but not discarded. The mobile sat in the attic in a box labeled "Adrian, First Year," one of four boxes now, one for each child, with a special box holding the twins’ first months together because there had been no other way
The Contract Omega( MXM Romance) Chapter 128-What We Chose, Again
Aldric POV Back at the hotel, we took our time.That was the particular luxury of these forty-eight hours. Not the expensive room, or the adult furniture or the uninterrupted sleep. The time. The specific, unhurried quality of being together without something immediately requiring our attention.I kissed him, which was the only adequate response.This time, there was no rush behind it. No urgency driven by interruption or exhaustion or the quiet ticking pressure of responsibilities waiting just outside the door. Just him, warm under my hands, familiar in a way that settled something deep in my chest.Caelen shifted closer, his breath soft against mine, and I felt it, the way we always found each other again, no matter how much time had passed, no matter how much life had layered itself over us.We moved slowly, learning each other all over again in the quiet. Every touch lingered longer than it needed to. Every kiss deepened without demand, just a quiet, steady pull. There was no nee
The Contract Omega( MXM Romance) Chapter 127 — Five Year Wedding Anniversary
Caelen POVFive years.Half a decade since I had signed a contract to marry a stranger for money to save my dying mother. Three years since we had chosen each other for real, properly, in front of a fireplace with the contract burning to ash and a ring that said Always choose you. Three beautiful, chaotic boys who had transformed us from reluctant partners into something neither of us had known how to want until we had it."You're sure you can handle all three?" I asked Eleanor for the fifth time, watching her arrange snacks with the calm efficiency of someone who had been managing this household's logistics for years."Caelen, I raised you alone. I can manage three boys with Sebastian and Mira as backup." She steered me toward the door with the gentle authority she had always had. "Go. Have an actual anniversary. Be adults who remember they're married to each other, not just parents surviving together.""But what if Lucas has one of his nightmares? Or James refuses to eat vegetables?
The Contract Omega( MXM Romance) Chapter 126- The Letting Go
Caelen POV Work was impossible.I sat at my desk with marketing proposals open on my screen and checked my phone every few minutes for calls that would only come in an emergency. The rational part of my brain understood this. The other part generated emergencies at regular intervals that required the phone to be checked again."How's Adrian?" Rachel appeared in my doorway around ten."No idea. Apparently, you can't call to check. This is apparently a policy that exists.""He's fine.""What if he's crying? What if someone is unkind to him? What if...""Then he'll learn to handle it." She sat down across from my desk with the directness she had always had. "That's what school is for. Not just reading and maths. Learning to navigate other people without your parents in the room.""He was premature. He almost died. I should be allowed to be more worried than other parents.""You are more worried. And you're still sending him anyway." She held my gaze. "That's good parenting, not bad pare
The Contract Omega( MXM Romance) Chapter 125 — Adrian's First Day of School
Caelen POVThe school supply shopping trip happened on a Saturday in late August.All five of us in the SUV we had bought specifically because three car seats and the logistics of going anywhere required it. Adrian was in his booster with the supply list his kindergarten teacher had mailed, reading it aloud with the careful pronunciation of a five-year-old still mastering longer words."Twelve crayons." He tracked each word with one finger. "One backpack. Two fold-ers." He looked up. "What's a folder, Papa?""A special holder for papers. We'll find you the coolest ones." I glanced back at him. This child. This specific child who had arrived eight weeks early at four pounds two ounces with a breathing tube and a NICU incubator, is now going to actual school. "What color backpack do you want?""Dinosaurs! And space! And trucks!""Pick one theme. We can't find all three in the same backpack."He considered this with the gravity it deserved. "Dinosaurs. Because dinosaurs are the most cool

Caelen POVMonday morning arrived with the inevitability of a reckoning I could not postpone any longer. I had spent the entire weekend trying to convince myself that going back to work would not be as terrible as my anxiety insisted it would be. That people would have moved on to other gossip by n

Aldric POVThe HR email landed in my inbox at two thirty-seven on Monday afternoon, forwarded by Elaine with a single line of commentary that told me exactly how she felt about it.Sir, you should see this. It was sent company-wide an hour ago.I opened the attachment and read through the policy re

Caelen POVThe break room was mercifully empty when I shoved through the door. I leaned against the counter and focused on breathing, on not letting the tears burning behind my eyes actually fall where someone might walk in and see them.People expect professional behavior and planning. They act li

Aldric POVThe first time was desperate and fast and everything Caelen's biology was screaming for.He was too far gone in his heat to appreciate slow or gentle. Too deep in the instinctive need to care about anything except being filled and claimed and knotted properly.So that was exactly what I
