“Alpha has got good swimmers, it appears,” Doc chuckles.
“Damn right I do, take one load get one free,” he states. “Two for four!” he says victorious. I shake my head at him.
“Need to bottle that shit up and sell it,” Axton chuckles, and I shoot him a glare.
“Not that I would, can't give away my super sperm,” he says.
The technician lady then takes over and points out all the babies' features—the arms, legs, heads, and tiny hearts beating away. I am both equal parts anxious and excited. While Axton is just excited. Yeah, because he isn't one, that's gotta push them out!
“That is so many diapers,” I whisper as I take my seat in the car.
“We'll figure it out, there will be a team of us,” Axton says while I nod my head.
The drive home is quiet and peaceful as we both think about our future with our two sets of twins. I had completely forgotten about Khan's promise until Axton pulls over at the general store. He looks at me expectantly. A second later, Khan shoves forward, blocking out Axton.
“You snitch!” He snarls at me and I chuckle.
“Well, I think it is only fair since I am now eating for two babies; I can get two jars of coffee,” I tell him.
“Not a chance.” He says, shoving his door open. I open mine, following him into the store, and I see his skin rippling as Axton fights to come forward. How bizarre it must feel to have your wolf block you out.
“Go on, hurry,” Khan tells me, and I know he is struggling to keep Axton out. We do our shopping, and I climb in the car with my goodies.
Putting my seatbelt on, I stuff a handful of gummy bears in my mouth, munching away while trying to hide my two jars of coffee under the bag of diapers.
Axton steals one of my gummy bears and starts the car. When we reach home, Axton reaches over to grab my bag from me. However, I don't let go. He raises an eyebrow at me, then his brows furrow.
“What's wrong?” I shake my head. Axton goes to take my bag again, but I jerk it from his grip and jump out of the car. He's not stealing my jars of coffee.
Epilogue
Elena
Six months later.
Life has become a chaotic whirlwind of laughter, tears, diapers, and midnight feedings. Sondra and Louise, our twin girls, are the newest additions to our growing family. Our once-quiet house is now filled with cooing, crying, and bickering between Kyan and Bane, who are now on the move and have turned into little terrors.
As I look around the house, getting ready to leave to go to the supernatural council, I can’t help but feel a sense of pride and gratitude. Our family has grown so much in such a short time, and we’re learning to adapt and love each other more with each passing day.
Axton has been incredible, taking his role as Alpha and father very seriously, which is a relief given the tumultuous world which our sons were born into. He’s been present for every sleepless night, diaper change, and mealtime, juggling his duties as an Alpha and father effortlessly.
Our pack has also been an invaluable help, stepping in whenever Axton and I needed some time for ourselves or when we had to attend to our pack duties. The pack members have become like extended family, always willing to lend a hand and support us in any way possible. Surprisingly, all three packs have just about merged as one and get on well after everything that happened. For the first time, we all feel a sense of home within the city.
Kyan and Bane are adapting well to their new roles as big brothers. They adore their little sisters and can often be found playing with them or making them laugh. However, we have to watch them like hawks too, now that they’re on the move. They’re constantly getting into everything. It’s heartwarming to see the bond forming between our children and to know that they will grow up surrounded by love and support.
Our days are now filled with laughter, love, and the occasional tantrum. We’ve learned to embrace the chaos and cherish every moment with our children. The sleepless nights and endless diaper changes are worth it when we see the smiles on our children’s faces and feel the warmth of their love.
“Michelle and Eli are here.” Axton sings out to me. They’ve come to watch the boys. Today we hope to put everything behind us finally, praying that the courts rule in our favor.
Giving the kids a quick kiss, I explain everything to Michelle, who rolls her eyes at me. “Go, I know how to make a damn bottle,” she chuckles, waving me off. With one last glance at the kids, I reluctantly leave, following Axton out to the car.
It is the first time Axton and I have been away from our kids since the twins were born. Despite the importance of the council hearing, I can’t help but feel a sense of urgency to return home. So, sitting in the supernatural council chambers, I find myself anxious to get back.
I know we’re here to witness a historic moment in the werewolf communities. One that could potentially change the lives of many she-wolves. The women from my pack are awaiting the verdict for their exoneration after being accused of killing their abusive mates. If they aren’t exonerated today, Axton will have to announce a punishment to the council, seeing as most packs handle pack business and crimes themselves, yet they still have to show proof of such crimes being punished.
Over the last couple of months, Axton has fought tirelessly to change the oppressive laws that prevent she-wolves from leaving their mates, even in the most dire of circumstances. The current laws have resulted in countless she-wolves suffering in silence, unable to escape their mates’ torment.
As the council members file in, the room falls silent. All eyes are on them, and I sit up a little straighter. Axton and I exchange a hopeful glance, knowing that the outcome of this verdict could be a turning point for our kind.
