“But I will.”

It was obvious that our wild princess hadn’t thought about her future yet. I turned to Kataleya, remembering her wanting to be a teacher.

“What about you, Kat?” I asked softly. She stared down at her lap before she held out the necklace to me.

“Will you put it on me?” I nodded, moving her hair and slipping it around her neck. “I want to be a scientist or doctor, someone who can help all werewolves who get hurt to get better… to find a way to help them all, so they can still live completely normal lives,” she whispered, making my heart break for her. Alejandro frowned, and I hugged her tightly.

“That’s a beautiful idea,” I whispered, kissing her forehead. I held her close for a moment before Alejandro nudged Dante with his knee.

“And you?”

“Me? Who knows…” he said, glancing back at us both.

“Don’t be so fucking cryptic.” Alejandro frowned. Dante just chuckled.

“I actually don’t know what I’ll be in case you think I do. You know I can’t really see my future.”

“Hmm, well, what do you want to be?” Alejandro asked him.

“I want to be strong so I can protect everyone. I want to be fair so I don’t do anyone injustice.” Alejandro and I exchanged looks as Dante continued, “I want to be wise so I can guard justice, and I want to be the best son so my mama is proud of me,” he finished with a cocky smirk, making Alejandro narrow his eyes.

“Aww, I am already so proud of you, baby,” I said, so proud of his words.

“Mama’s boy,” Alejandro growled as Skyla and Kataleya laughed.

“Jealous?” Dante taunted.

“Nah, just fucking know how Rayhan felt,” Alejandro muttered, making me shake my head.

Dante smirked. He had told me he was taking a step back from his childish crush and how he would tryto stop annoying Rayhan when it came to Delsanra, at least.

“So, didn’t Dante and I get a present?” I asked.

“Didn’t I give you anything earlier?” Alejandro replied with a cocky smirk making me blush.

“What did you give Mama?” Skyla asked.

“Flowers,” I lied quickly.

Flowers?Alejandro remarked mockingly through the link. I poked my eyes out at him warningly, but he just smirked and gave me a wink.

“I got a new scooter,” Dante smirked. “The one I wanted a few months ago.”

“Perfect,” I said, trying to avoid Alejandro’s gaze.

The movie soon came to an end. We all got into the bed with the girls on either side of me, Alejandro next to Kataleya, and Dante on his other side. We discussed where to go for a holiday and when we would go. They were all excited, and so was I. Malevolent was asleep at the edge of the bed near Skyla’s feet.

The kids soon fell asleep, and Alejandro took my hand, kissing it softly as he looked at me from over Kataleya’s head full of hair.

“Thank you,” he said quietly.

“Hmm?” I said, closing my eyes as he caressed my jaw, relishing in the sparks.

“Thanks for fucking giving me a life I could never have imagined ever having or hoping for,” he said quietly.

My eyes opened, and, even in the dark, I could see his glowing eyes. My heart pounded as I leaned over, smiling when he cupped my face and claimed my lips in a soft kiss.

And thank you for being you. I am the luckiest woman to have you in my life, and our kids are the luckiest to have you as their papa,I whispered through the link as we broke apart. He kissed my forehead, his stubble prickling me slightly, and I smiled softly.
