Still, doubts nagged at me as my alpha reached for me with his free hand, entwining our fingers together.
I asked him in a strained voice, “Is that any way to respond to a confession from the heart? That I’m a vixen? I meant it when I said I love you, Ziran. Can’t you say the same?”
“Yes, it is,” Ziran quipped, seemingly frustrated.
Then, he ceased me, sweeping me into his strong embrace, enveloped in his soothing scent. Our children gathered around us, clinging to his pants legs as they laughed, sang, and danced.
“Allow me at least the dignity of saying I love you first, you ornery little thing you,” he rasped against my lips.
Ziran’s magic coiled around my skin, butterflies fluttering in my stomach as he declared, “I love you, Rei. To the moon and stars and back into your arms, I’ve always longed to tell you that. I love you, omega mine.”
He was painstakingly gentle as he cradled me close, my alpha kissing me gently as our kids gagged in disgust. Laughing, he kneeled to take Raylen and Zenia in his arms before approaching the ship.
“Promise me you won’t leave us again,” I said, burying my face in the crook of my alpha, my king’s neck, embarrassed by how fiercely I was blushing in front of his men and our children.
“I promise. No, I swear it to you, and you, and you, my sweet children. Now, let’s go home,” Ziran said as we walked up the bridge to the vessel that would take us home, to a fairytale castle inside a tower that wouldn’t feel like a prison at all.
“But we are home?” Raylen said, confused, and Zenia nodded even as she grinned ear to ear.
“To a new home, a bigger home with the rest of our family, towards an endless adventure, side-by-side, darlings,” Ziran said, grinning as he smashed us all into a hug that stole our breathless laughter and washed away all of our tears.
Imprisoned by the wizard, I had known only despair. But, blinded by love, I created the future of my wildest dreams after surrendering my heart to a thief. I was so thankful; words could never encapsulate how I felt, living a happily ever after fit for a prince and his king.
