My eyes got wide as I said, "That's right! We haven't told them yet!" Everyone looked at us and I said, "We have something to tell you all. We are going to be parents!" Grandma said, "You're not telling us all of it. I can see that you're holding something back. What's wrong?" Aidinth and I laughed as I said, "Nothing is wrong, grandma. We're having triplets!" Grandma jumped up and clapped her hands. Grandpa sat in his chair, smiling with his mouth wide open in surprise. Zeb jumped up and hugged me as he yelled, "I'm gonna be an uncle times three!" I laughed at him as he hugged Aidinth. When he pulled back, I notice tears falling. I said, "Are those happy tears?" He nodded, "I'm happy for you, sis. You deserve all the happiness in the world after everything you've been through." By the time he was done, I looked around and my whole family was trying to choke back tears. I said, "Goodness, ya'll, you're going to make me start bawling!" Everyone started laughing and I said, "That's be

When I walked into our bedroom, I was met with the sight of a woman I know is dead. "Hello Princess Chloe," she smiled, "I know I look very familiar to you, and I'm very sorry she did all those awful things to you, but I promise, I'm not here to hurt you. Unfortunately, she ruined a lot for me and my future." I said, "I'm so sorry. You must be Kayda's twin sister, that the defense tried to blame her crimes on." She had a tear in her eye when she said, "Yes, unfortunately, that would be me. My name is Kai." I said, "Please forgive me for staring. It's almost like I saw a ghost." She said, "I've heard that a lot since her sentence was carried out. I don't blame you, by the way. She was a crazy person. She swore she was supposed to be princess. I really don't understand what caused it, to be honest." I said, 'Well, I know, for a fact, that it was not you that did it. I was awake for the entire thing, unfortunately, so I know it wasn't you. That's why I treated the defense attorney's qu

As we waved goodbye to King Uther and Queen Chumani, I could see Queen Chumani wipe a tear from her eyes. I'm going to miss that sweet woman. I have grown to love her like the mother I lost so many years ago. But we are not going too far away, and we will be back at least three days a week for work. We just really needed a space of our own. I did invite them up for dinner this weekend. Maybe that will take some of the sting away. I know they understand where we are coming from, I just want them to be as happy as we are about this move. We park in front of Drago's house, and as soon as we open the car doors, we can tell there is trouble in paradise. Kids screaming, "No!" and "You're not my mom!" I know that has to hurt Poppy and probably Drago too. Aidinth and I look at each other and run to the door. I ring the doorbell and Drago answers. He has such a sad look on his face, it scares me. I say, "I heard there is trouble in paradise. I thought maybe we could help." Drago sudd

The next morning, I threw on a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt and walked downstairs. I poured a cup of coffee for myself, went outside, and sat on the deck to just ease into my day. I do love mornings. Especially mornings when I can just relax into my day. I was thinking of all the unpacking that needs to be done when a wolf family walked up to me. I said, "Look at you guys! Your cubs have grown so much since we've been gone!" I held my hand out to them, and the male nudged my hand to the top of his head. I petted his fur, and said, "You know I'm wolf too, don't you?" Then the female and cubs approached. I sat on the floor of the deck and the cubs walked up to me. They were climbing all over me and trying to lick my face when they heard a noise. Aidinth was at the door, laughing at me being mauled by a pack of wolf cubs. I said, "He's good, guys. It's okay."  I motioned for Aidinth to come out and they all stopped for just a minute, until he sat in a chair with a cup

After locking the doors, Aidinth carried me, bridal style, all the way to our bedroom. We were just about to get in the shower, when I heard a wolf howl, very close to our house. I said, "I can't ignore this. I think they need us." I ran downstairs and saw the entire wolf family at the door. I went to the garage and opened it. The wolf family ran inside, and I shut the door. I checked them all out, and the female's leg has been shot. "Aidinth," I yelled, "Call Layla! We need a healer." I petted her gently and said, "Poor momma, you just can't catch a break!" Aidinth ran into the garage, and I said, "The hunters started early. Momma here has been shot." He brought out a couple of old blankets that we had used for moving and laid them on the floor. I said, "Would you mind staying here for a minute while I get them some food and water? This is their normal feeding time." Aidinth said, "I also called Adrien, so everyone will be here soon." I said, "Thank you. I'm sorry for the cock-bloc
