NATHAN’S POVThe door to the restaurant swung open, and I wasn’t sure what I was expecting – but it sure as hell wasn’t them.The twins.Alex spotted me first, his eyes lighting up with instant recognition. Before I could process it, he was already making a beeline for our table, moving with the same boundless energy I remembered from the museum.Alexia followed a few steps behind, more reserved, but still watching me intently.I tensed up. I could feel my whole body on edge and operating on “what the fuck?” What the hell were they doing here? The people I had tried so hard to find? It was almost too good to be true.My wolf was up, pacing, as he tried his best not to get his hopes up. And I was with him on this. Although I couldn't deny the obvious connection between us, I had to approach this well. My team had gone completely silent, their conversation dying as they took in the sight of the two kids heading straight for me.Alex skidded to a stop next to my chair, looking up at me

NATHAN’S POVThe cold night air bit at my skin as I watched the car disappear down the street, taking the twins – my twins – with it. My chest was tight, thoughts running in circles, my wolf pacing, howling inside me.Sophia.It had always been Sophia.The realization hadn’t fully settled and hadn’t rooted itself deep enough for me to grasp what it truly meant, but I knew one thing for certain – this changed everything.Behind me, the team was waiting. I could feel their eyes on me, silent questions filling the air between us.“Okay.” Priya finally broke the quiet. “What was that?”I turned, still caught in a daze, as the four of them stood in a loose semi-circle, their faces a mix of confusion and expectation."What do you mean?" I asked, my own voice sounding distant to my ears.Jacob scoffed. “Oh, I don’t know. Maybe the part where two kids ran up to you like they knew you? Or the part where you started acting like the world had just tilted on its damn axis?”I exhaled sharply, run

NATHAN'S POVIt had been days since I left Elara’s woods, but I hadn’t seen Sophia or the twins yet. Not because I didn’t want to – because I knew this time, I had to do it right. I wasn’t going to storm into her life, demanding anything or expecting forgiveness. No. That wasn’t how I would win her back.So, instead, I focused on what I could do.I found out everything I could about her life now. About her.Il Cuore di Sofia. Her restaurant.It had been a quiet obsession ever since I learned its name. The place was thriving. Booked out for weeks, gaining recognition even among the city’s elite. She had built something incredible –without me. The knowledge was almost a blow to me but damn it, I had never been prouder of her.I found out she had kept it exclusive. A place where every plate had her touch and where she knew her customers by name. She was just like that – warm, steady, pouring her heart into everything she did. The woman I had once known had never backed down from a chal

SOPHIA'S POVThe boutique felt like a sanctuary, every detail carefully curated – the gentle hum of music, the soft lighting that made everything feel cinematic. I couldn’t help but think back to how I'd have felt years ago. Probably feel a little out of place, standing there in my jeans and sweater while holding a dress that seemed destined for someone more glamorous.But I wasn't that person anymore.“You’ve gotta own it,” Grace said, watching me with a knowing smile. “This night is all about you, Sophia. You deserve it.”I raised an eyebrow, jokingly. “You mean I deserve to be wrapped in a small fortune?”Grace laughed. “Absolutely. You’ve worked hard for this. Let yourself have it for once.”Alexia tugged at my hand. “I think you’re the prettiest mommy ever, even without the dress.”My heart swelled at that. “You’re my favorite little girl in the world, you know that?”She nodded, her curls bouncing. “But if you wear this dress, you’ll look like the queens in those movies we watch

SOPHIA'S POVThe air seemed thicker, charged with something I hadn’t felt in years. My breath hitched as my wolf stirred, a low hum beneath my skin. I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was – my instincts screamed his name before my mind could catch up.Nathan.Slowly, I turned on my heels, my eyes locking onto his. He stood tall and demanding, dressed in a tailored black suit that seemed to enhance every sharp angle and commanding presence he always possessed. His gaze pierced through the few people standing between us, landing squarely on me.For a moment, the world faded. The hum of conversation, the clinking of glasses – all of it blurred into the background. The only thing I could focus on was him.The man I once loved. The man who once banished me. The man who shattered my heart and left me to pick up the pieces on my own.His eyes flickered with something raw – regret, perhaps – but I didn’t care. I couldn’t care. Memories rushed to the surface, each one a dagger to the
