Her words penetrated my memories, but didn’t make any sense. “Too late?”

Anna’s palms framed my cheeks, and she pressed our foreheads together. “It’s too late to put a bairn in me, my prince. Ye did that about six weeks ago.”

She pulled her head back and grinned at my stunned expression.

I’m going to be a father?

When she nodded at my unspoken question, I began to chuckle. She joined me, and soon we were wrapped in each other’s arms, standing in the corridor outside the Crown Prince’s suite, laughing like idiots.

I swept her up in my arms. “Truly, Anna? Ye’re going to have a bairn?”

She nodded and tightened her grip around my neck. “Yer bairn, Wulf. I’ve never been happier.”

I kissed her while walking her back to our rooms. I had to show her how happy I was, and my cockstand strained against my trousers at the opportunity.

“I love ye, my sweet.”

“I love ye too, my beastly savage.”

I was chuckling when we fell into our bed. “My savage sweet.”

We were perfect.
