“I’ve decided to throw a last-minute party,” I add, playing with the hem of my shirt, yanking it and shifting it, hoping to draw attention.
They’re so enamored with me that they don’t pay attention to certain things unless it’s something completely out of normal like a sexy dress or if I were standing here completely naked. Maybe I should’ve just written the words on my skin.
“What’s the celebration?” Wilder remains expressionless, his curiosity making him wiggle on his knees.
I lift and drop my shoulders. “I thought this would be obvious but—”
“Holy shit! Kinsey! Is this for real?” Arsenio launches to his feet, catching on before Wilder. Once Enzo and Desmond find out how oblivious he was toward my attempt to surprise him, they are never going to let it go.
Scooping me up, Arsenio spins me around with a laugh, his face beaming a smile I want to remember always.
“What the fuck am I missing?” Wilder crosses his arms, his curiosity turning into annoyance.
“Open your damn eyes and look at our beautiful woman. Look at every damn inch of her.” Arsenio sets me back down and spins me to face Wilder.
Wilder’s eyebrows knit together as he stares at my face and slowly draws his gaze down to my boobs, and then his mouth opens, his jaw slacking. A dozen emotions flicker across his face in a matter of seconds, and he rushes and drops to his knees in front of me again, engulfing me in a hug around the waist as he yanks at my shirt and presses his lips to my torso, kissing me a dozen times as he purrs and whispers his affection and excitement.
“We’re having a baby!” Wilder shouts, standing up without letting me go. “We’re having a fucking baby!”
“Fuck yeah, we are!” Enzo hollers, standing just down the hall with Desmond. “Now shut your fucking mouth before someone hears you and spreads the word before we can tell our pack. We’re having a feast to celebrate. Everyone is on their way now.”
Arsenio steals me from Wilder and cradles me in his arms like a blushing bride, snuggling his face between my breasts as he curls me up to him. “You’ve made me the happiest man alive.”
“I don’t know about that, brother. You have some major competition,” Enzo says, bouncing on his feet. He looks giddy as fuck and cute as hell. He’s been dying to shout everything to the world.
“I’ll take it. You want to play this game?” Arsenio raises an eyebrow with a smirk. “Don’t think I won’t post it on every fucking billboard in the entire region.”
“I’ll fucking figure out how to etch it into the side of a mountain.” Enzo traces the air, pretending to write his excitement out.
“I’ll do one better. I’ll prove it to Kinsey every second of every day for the rest of time.” Wilder reaches into his jacket, pulling out a small box. “I’ve been waiting for the perfect moment, and this one is even more so than I imagined and the first of many to come.” Wilder gets down on one knee before me.
“Oh, so we’re playing it this way,” Desmond teasers, his voice light. He follows Wilder’s example and gets on a knee, pulling another box out, the one that he’s been holding. “You know we were going to do this together, but considering how our brothers decided to beat us to it.”
My heart flutters in anticipation. I knew it was coming because Arsenio and Enzo had already asked me, but it doesn’t make it any less special. If anything, it makes this moment even more amazing. Unforgettable.
“It’s not usually custom for a beta to propose, but we’re unlike any other pack. My vow to you is to always stand by your side and be whoever you need me to be. I love you, Kinsey.” Desmond reveals the thin band encrusted with jade and diamond stones. They glitter in the light, the pretty cut of the ring absolutely stunning.
“And I vow to always ensure you come first. In any way you like.” Wilder winks. “I also promise to care for you and our pack. Be the guiding force and also the man who can recognize when to let others lead.”
“You forgot the part about not being a dick,” Enzo says, giving his brother a shake on the shoulder. “And also relinquishing your rights to owning any pillows. They belong to our girl.”
“As long as she accepts my proposal. Because I love you, Kinsey. This moment, knowing that we’re having a baby, that’s all I could ever dream of. I need you as my wife. I need to declare it to the world. Because my brothers are right. You’ve made us all the happiest men alive.”
“And I’m the happiest woman.” I let Arsenio set me on my feet to hold my hand out to Wilder and Desmond, allowing them to slide the rings onto my fingers to join the ones I wear from their brothers. “I’ll be the happiest wife.”

Holly twirls around me, laughing and smiling as we walk together, surrounded by her brothers and the Silverstein Pack. We head toward the newly renovated ballroom at the fortress, the space now deemed the private Knotty Princes Club, the lounge where alphas get to be on display, doing whatever they can to impress a possible omega mate.
“What would an alpha have to do to impress you, baby? I kind of feel as if we need to re-create this later tonight. I want to show off my skills and seduce you.” Enzo flexes his biceps, showing off his muscles in his tight T-shirt.
I tap my finger to my chin, amused by his need to continue to keep things interesting. “Well, the things I’d like would be inappropriate for a public club. You’d have to get me into a private room first. Maybe make me laugh and charm me with your witty personality. Then we can discuss showing off your goods.”
“Goddamn. You’re just afraid that one look at me will have you bent over and waiting for me to ravish you.” Enzo grabs my hand and spins me around.
“It might work if you reversed the situation. You know, bend yourself over. Let me be your alpha.” I can’t stop the burst of laughter chiming from my mouth.
Holly grimaces and crosses her arms, forming an ex. “Okay, you just scarred me for eternity. I did not need that visual, you freaks.”
