“Yeah, I’m more than ok. I didn’t think we would ever get here, but I’m glad we did.” He looked down at us, grinning when Vivienne reached for him.

“Hello, precious,” he said, picking her up, kissing her nose.

My heart warmed every time one of them held our baby girl. It was a feeling I didn’t think I would ever tire of, and I swore it just made me want to have a whole litter of babies.

“Come on, it's time for our run,” Zev said, holding his hand for me, smiling at me.

I wanted to be a coward and sit it out, but I knew it would only end in arguing and the guys getting mad at me. After I had Vivienne, we learned that I probably wouldn’t be able to shift. Yaya sensed a wolf within me, we tried many different things, but nothing worked to make her surface. Pair that with postpartum hormones, I was very upset for a few weeks. It had been a tough pill to swallow for months and holiday runs.

Aeon started the blessing of the run while I wrapped up Vi in one of those body carriers. He came over to anoint us and even though I had felt the veil getting thinner and thinner, right now it felt non-existent.

“Let's run!” Aeon yelled, as our fellow shifters took off their clothes.

The guys pushed me ahead as I started off in a jog, holding Vivienne with my wind magic, so I didn’t jostle her so much. I felt our ancestors running with us and then that's when I felt the spirits I was most anxious about feeling and seeing.

She’s beautiful, Kat, and I’m so proud of you.Serena’s presence made me feel at peace.

Ms. Katarina, she looks just like you.Mr. Potter's presence made me want to cry.

I’m so proud of you, my daughter.The last presence almost made me fall.

Mom?I asked unsure since I hadn’t met her before, but she felt familiar.

I’m always with you.she said, and all my emotions caught up to me.

I was surrounded by love, and I was so grateful for it. Not being able to shift seemed so insignificant. I hugged Vivienne a little tighter as I picked up speed running with my loved ones alive and dead. Each of the guys rubbed against me as we ran the night away, grateful that my life had led me here.

I was blessed in more ways than one and if being trapped in a castle with three brooding assholes had taught me anything, it was that life was too short to waste your time worrying. I had everything I needed right here, and I couldn’t wait for the years to come, good or bad. We were ready.
