“Ouch, damn it.”

“Be nice. My mate is talking about having mycubs.”

“Fine, fine. Oh glorious day, my brother ishaving a conversation in an elevator about knocking up hismate.”

Aubrey chuckled and then it turned into afull-blown laugh. “I like your family,” she said, as Alaric loweredhis head to kiss her.

“You’re part of it now, too.”

“Good.”

He kissed her and then nuzzled her neck. “Iwant you to be mine in every way. Mated, married, living together.Whatever the future brings, I know your life is in Belle Terra, andI’m not going anywhere.”

Relief twined through her. She hadn’trealized that thinking about leaving her brother and her life inBelle Terra had been a source of stress. She would have gladly gonewherever Alaric needed to go for his family, but she was supremelyhappy that he wanted to be in Belle Terra.

“Thank you, Alaric.”

“For what?”

“For being an amazing mate.”

He grinned broadly. “I haven’t hit amazingyet, love. Just wait until dessert.”
