She linked arms with both of us, one hand on each.

“By the way, Jaxson told me the news?—”

Her eyes went wide and she grinned.

“I swear I’m so embarrassed I didn’t realize I was pregnant before you all did!”

“You are gonna be such a good mom!” Donny screeched.

“And this baby is gonna have the best aunties,” I seconded.

Donny and I both burst out laughing, giggles tangled with happy tears as we started toward the altar in a slow, steady march.

And there they were.

Our men.

Our Shifters.

Our mates.

Looking so ridiculously good in their suits I half-expected some sort of magical law to be passed against it.

Broad shoulders, proud stances, smiles that lit up the clearing like another string of fairy lights.

My heart did that stupid fluttering thing again, and I didn’t even care.

The bells tolled midnight just as we reached them.

La Befana herself—Magdelena, long white robe flowing dramatically in the lantern light—stood ready to bless not one, not two, but three unions.

“Okay, so, I just got ordained like half an hour ago, but it’s legal, so let’s do this,” she announced breezily. “Quick version, because I gotta fly back to Northern before my kids explode something.”

I flipping adored that Witch.

“First up—Evie and Jax, do you promise to love, cherish, honor, and take care of each other for the rest of your lives?”

Um okay. So, it was gonna be a speed service.

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

“Fabulous. Rings? Great. You’re married. Moving on.”

She swung her gaze to Donny and Ryan. “You two wanna be hitched?”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

“Boom. Married. Okay, last but not least—Bella and Conrad. I see this was last-second, but that’s cool. Do the two of you promise to do all those things I already said? You know, be faithful, cherish, love, oh, and deliver a dozen Undeath By Chocolate cupcakes to me every month.” She eyed us suspiciously.

“Um, okayyy,” I murmured.

“Yes,” Conrad said, voice rough with emotion.

“I promise to love, worship, cherish, and make sure we send you any goodies you like express, La Befana, for as long as this beautiful Witch is mine.”
