You didn’t answer my question,Rowan muttered against my lips as we arrived at his room. Calla was staying with Arden and Cade at the house that Cade had built near Rowan’s house. He said they were going to visit oftenfrom now on; so they needed a house in this area.

News flash. They really did visit quite oftennearly every week since the small yet extravagant house was built. It seemed Cade had been planning it for a long time, and he didn’t even ask Rowan’s permission to build near his lot.

Rowan didn’t seem to mind, though. Well, he did scold Cade once he found out, saying he would have it demolished. However, Rowan played earnestly with Jarden right after.

Calla loved staying with them, too, because she considered Jared her little brother already.

You already know my answer,I whispered back before placing a kiss on his lips. You didn’t even have to ask.

How could I not?he asked softly. You deserve everything in the entire world.”

I held onto his cheeks. This was supposed to be your day. Your parents talked to you, right? The attention was shifted back to the proposal right after. You should have waited another day.

He nodded silently. Again, it doesn’t matter. Your response is more important than any other title out there.

I let out a small breath before shaking my head, unable to shake the smile off my face. Yes,I muttered as an answer. A hundred times yes.

With that, I initiated the kiss. I poured everything I couldn’t say out loud into the kiss. I was afraid I would cry if I actually said them out loud. However, I suddenly felt something wet on my cheeks, and I was sure it wasn’t my own tears.

I frowned slightly and pulled away, only to find Rowan nearly sobbing into the kiss.

Love,I whispered. What’s wrong? Are you okay?

He didn’t respond for a while. He just let me wipe his tears while I watched him with a smile. I felt a slight squeeze in my heart, but at the same time, I found him so cute.

Because,he said, his voice breaking like a child’s while his forehead rested against mine. His

fingers trembled as they traced my jaw. Because I’ve been chasing the wrong thing my entire life. I kept wanting the best, but I didn’t realize the best was already standing right in front of

  1. me. You.

It feels like it could have been casier for the two of us if I hadn’t been such a bastard,he whispered.

I sighed softly and shook my head. I want this to be the last time we talk about that,I said gently, but firmly. I already forgave you, Rowan.

I wouldn’t say I don’t have regrets. I wouldn’t be a sentient being if I didn’tbut every regret, every wrong turn brought us here. To this.

His breath caught.

We had a painful past,I continued. And it’s something I couldn’t compare to anything else. However, that past shaped us, made us stronger, and made this love possible. I wouldn’t trade what we have now for anything.”

I brushed his tears again, my thumb gliding beneath his eye, and gave him a small smile. I love you, Rowan. With all my heart. All of it.

He let out a sounda choked laugh or a sob, I couldn’t tell. His eyes were squeezed shut, and he leaned into my hands like he was seeking warmth. I chuckled softly. Shouldn’t I be the one crying, my love? I swear, Arden told me before she was the one who cried during her engagement.

That earned me the faintest ghost of a smile from him. Don’t compare me to Cade, please,he muttered hoarsely.

I giggled and leaned forward to kiss the corner of his mouth. There’s no need. The two of you are different. Cade is Arden’s. YouI pressed my lips against his again. You are mine.

A flicker of possessiveness passed in his eyes, but it softened quickly.

And Elias isI tilted my head thoughtfully, a teasing smile tugging at my lips. Well, he’s still alone. Meanwhile, Alpha Abel is still hot.

Rowan’s eyes narrowed instantly, his tears forgotten. Do you really need to say the last one?You didn’t even comment on Elias being alone,I teased.

That’s because it’s true,he said flatly. But Abel being hot? You’re pushing it.”

I laughed outright, delighted to see color blooming back into his cheeks. Well, that’s just the

truth. Alpha Abel is hot.

He stared at me for a second, then a dangerous little smile curved his lips. You like teasing me, don’t you?

I grinned and raised my brows. Oh, you have no idea.”

Before I could say more, he suddenly swept me up in his arms with one motion. I gasped, squealing, my arms instinctively flying around his shoulders as he spun me around the room. Rowan!I laughed breathlessly.

This is my revenge,he said, grinning playfully. You tease me, you pay.

I could hardly breathe from laughing, my heart pounding at the sight of his joy. This was the Rowan I’d fallen forfierce, but underneath it all, heartbreakingly gentle.

When he finally set me down, my feet barely touched the floor before his mouth found mine. I melted into it, my fingers threading through his hair as our breaths matched each other’s.

When we broke apart, our foreheads pressed together, his eyes searching mine with an intensity that made me shiver. Let’s live together forever,he whispered.

I raised a brow. Is that a threat?

He shook his head slowly, a playful smirk tugging at his lips. No. It’s a prophecy.”

A prophecy?I repeated.

He nodded solemnly. Calla told me so.
