- Kitten? Why didn't you ask through the mental link?- I didn't have the time. Besides, you've got work to do, so there was no hurry.- What did you want to know? Er... How long have those two been together?- I'd say... three minutes," laughs Jack.- What's all this about new security on the door?- Not just on the door, but all over the mansion," he explains, lifting me in his arms as I prepare to go upstairs. Since you've been pregnant, I've been very worried about your safety, and since you've been queen, even more so. Your men agreed with me, so we had locks installed that can't be opened from the outside without keys. There are also surveillance cameras and trusted wolves patrolling the manor.- I love it when you turn into a big, protective teddy bear," I say, placing a kiss on his cheek.

We had a magical night and I didn't want to go home, although I do miss Dereck and James. However, Mathis cleverly convinced me that there was a surprise waiting for me at home.We leave the hotel hand in hand and smiling. A feeling of euphoria comes over me as I think about the fact that we're married. I can't help but touch her wedding ring. Pride and love vibrate stronger through our bond when Mathis realizes it.Someone has dropped Mathis's car off in the hotel parking lot, allowing us to drive home without a chaperone.- What's on your mind, sweetheart?" asks my husband as I lose myself in the observation of my rings.- Maybe I should have thought of this before, but... I'm thinking my wedding rings are thin, maybe I could wear them together and keep my engagement rings as ornamental jewelry... That is, if you agree.- You'd feel le

After dinner, we all watch a film together. Only Kratos is missing. Now that Clarissa is here, maybe Kratos doesn't feel comfortable being surrounded by couples all the time.Once again, I'm surprised by the simplicity with which my companions manage their seats beside me. James settles on my right, Dereck and Mathis at my feet, leaving room on my left for Reed so that Clara can lie down with her head on his thigh. Jack and Celia prefer to curl up in an armchair, although there's still room on the other sofa next to Atreus and Clarissa.- Good night, kitten," Reed wishes me, kissing my temple at the end of the film.Clara has fallen asleep. He rises cautiously and crouches down to look at her. He brushes a lock of hair out of her face and a tear beads down his cheek as he places his hand on her round belly.- Hey," I whisper, putting my hand on his cheek so he'll

After lunch, during which Dereck kept begging me to spare him, yet kept sinking, Jack excitedly announces the arrival of our special delivery.I have Reed and Dereck lie on the floor in the hall, and Jack and Atreus are now setting up the load. First the bowling ball for form, and on top of that, the sandbag for bulk, all securely taped around their abdomens.- Come on, my little turtles, first challenge, take it up.- What do we win?" asks Reed cheekily.- My apologies.- What if we lose?" dares my companion.- You'll have to bend to my four most terrible wills.Dereck and Reed look at each other for a second, then launch into the challenge. Just then, Kratos arrives. Having kept a low profile over the last few days, he takes a skeptical look at the scene.- V

- Raph, I promised you something.- Hmm... Yes," he says as I stand up and approach Dereck, pursing my lips to counteract my laughter.Kratos, on the other hand, is not shy about laughing openly.- Let me introduce you to these two idiots.First, I quickly explain why they're in this compromising situation.- You were right to take your revenge. I'd probably have done the same in your place," he says.- Kiss-ass," grumbles Reed.I introduce Reed, then he embarks on the impossible ordeal of getting out of his chair.- And the one ranting there is Dereck Swan, my companion and your... King... Alpha....I'm laughing so hard I can hardly finish my sentence and tears are falling from my eyes.- Sex strike, baby," m
