LOGINBeatrice POV - EPILOGUESix months had passed since Elara's birth. I stood on the Wynterhold balcony overlooking our territory, my daughter in my arms. She was growing fast, already showing her personality. Wild white hair that refused to stay down. Bright grey eyes that took in everything with fierce curiosity.The morning sun rose over the mountains, painting everything gold. A new day, a new beginning.Darius joined me, wrapping his arms around both of us from behind."Good morning, my queen," he said, kissing my temple.Elara babbled happily and reached for him with chubby hands. He took her and tossed her gently in the air. Her giggle was the sweetest sound in the world.I watched my mate with our daughter and felt my heart might burst from how full it was.My brothers emerged one by one onto the terrace for breakfast.Theron arrived with Liora, her belly showing prominently. "We have an announcement," Theron said.Everyone turned to look. "We're expecting twins," Liora said, gri
Beatrice POVI woke in the middle of the night to a sharp pain across my abdomen. For a moment, I just lay there, trying to convince myself it was nothing.Then another contraction hit, stronger this time. "Darius," I said quietly, shaking his shoulder. "It's time."He shot upright like he'd been electrocuted. "Time? Time for what? Oh gods. Oh gods. The baby."I would have laughed if another contraction hadn't stolen my breath.Darius exploded into action. He grabbed our prepared bags, dropped all three, ran straight into the door frame, cursed loudly, and tried to put on two boots at once."Breathe, love," I said through gritted teeth."I'm breathing. I'm fine. Everything's fine." He wasn't fine. He looked like he might pass out.He alerted the household by basically screaming down the corridors. Within minutes, my brothers appeared in various states of undress and panic.Theron arrived in full tactical mode, already organizing. "Corin, you're on medical. Kaelen, secure the perimeter
Darius POVI woke before Beatrice every morning now. It had become my ritual in these final weeks of her pregnancy.I watched her sleep, marveling at the miracle beside me. Her belly was round and full with our daughter. Her face, peaceful in the early morning light, she was radiant.Sometimes I still couldn't believe she'd chosen me. This magnificent woman, powerful beyond measure, could have had anyone. But she was mine.The mate bond had deepened to something I couldn't put into words. I could sense her emotions like they were my own. Sometimes we didn't need words at all, just feelings flowing between us through the connection.Her eyes opened and caught me staring. "Creep," she said, but she was smiling."Can't help it." I leaned over to kiss her forehead. "You're carrying my pup. I'm allowed to stare.""You stare every morning.""And I'll stare every morning for the rest of our lives." I helped her sit up carefully. "How are you feeling?""Like I swallowed a melon." She rubbed h
Beatrice POVLiora's wedding day arrived wrapped in perfect spring sunshine. I woke early despite being six months pregnant and eternally exhausted. Today my best friend became my sister in truth.Darius was already up, helping with last-minute preparations. I found him arguing with Kaelen about flower arrangements."They're fine," Darius was saying."Fine isn't good enough. This is Theron's wedding. It needs to be perfect.""The flowers are perfect," I said. "Everything is perfect. Now both of you stop fussing and help me find Liora."I found her in one of the guest chambers, surrounded by half the female pack members. Everyone was talking at once, offering advice and help and probably making her more nervous."Out," I said firmly. "Everyone except Helena, out now."They scattered. Liora sat in front of the mirror in her ceremonial gown, looking terrified. "I can't do this," she said."Yes you can.""What if I'm not good enough to be Luna?" She turned to face me. "You were born to th
Beatrice POVI woke to the sound of arguing in the courtyard. Rolling over, I found Darius already awake and grinning."Your brothers are at it again," he said.I groaned and buried my face in the pillow. "It's too early for this.""It's nearly noon, love.""Still too early."But curiosity got the better of me. I dragged myself out of bed and to the window. Down in the courtyard, Kaelen was supervising several servants unloading a wagon absolutely packed with packages."What is all that?" I asked."Baby things, I'd imagine." Darius came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "He arrived an hour ago with three wagons.""Three?""The other two are being unloaded at the west entrance."I got dressed quickly and headed downstairs. The entrance hall was chaos. Packages everywhere, servants looking confused, and Kaelen directing traffic like a general commanding troops."Kaelen," I said. "What is all this?""Baby supplies." He beamed at me. "The little one needs options.""I'm o
Silas povHer fingers slid down between us. The second she touched herself she whimpered, body jerking. I kept pounding into her, steady and relentless, watching her face twist with pleasure.“That’s it,” I growled. “Come for me. I’ve got you.”Her fingers moved faster. Her thighs started shaking. Then she broke—back arching, pussy clamping down so tight I could barely move. She cried my name, loud and raw, as she came hard around my cock, pulsing and soaking me.The squeeze, the heat, the sound of her—it ripped my own orgasm out of me. I slammed in one last time and came with a choked groan, spilling deep inside her, pulse after thick pulse until I was empty.We stayed locked together, panting. Her forehead rested against mine. Her fingers drew slow, lazy circles on my back while my cock softened inside her, still twitching with aftershocks.Neither of us moved to pull away."That was..." she started."Yeah," I agreed.She laughed breathlessly. "We destroyed your desk."I looked down
