My gaze finally falls on Jacob who’s still waiting on his knees for me.
“I thought I had it all,” he says, his silvery eyes shining with emotion. “My brothers and I struggled over the years to establish ourselves and make an empire of our own. The years went by but nothing filled the emptiness in my heart. It was only after I met you that I realized what was missing. You’re the missing part of my heart. Without you, it’ll always be incomplete and broken. Winter Brown, will you keep my heart whole and full for the rest of my life?”
“Yes!” I say in a broken voice as he straightens up and hugs me. “Yes, yes, yes!”
He kisses me passionately, kindling an inferno in my heart. Happiness flows through my veins, warming me to the very tips of my toes! I feel drunk even though I haven’t had a sip of wine.
“Let’s put it on,” Jacob says, taking the ring from my hand.
Cole and Kai gather around us as he slips the ring onto my finger. The diamond twinkles under the fairy lights like a star in the sky. “I’m Dreaming of a white Christmas” by Michael Bublé plays in the background, making my heart sing with pure joy.
“Did you like our surprise?” Kai asks, grinning happily.
A chuckle escapes me. “Yeah, your surprise surpassed all my expectations. Thanks so much for the roses and the chocolates too. I love them all.”
“That was just the preview,” says Jacob, laughing.
“Hey, we got you more flowers, by the way,” Cole says, jogging over to the tree. He pulls out a huge bouquet of red roses that they’d hidden among the presents and brings it over to me.
“These are gorgeous!” I squeal, staring at the most beautiful roses I’ve ever seen. “Thank you!”
This has to be the best Christmas of my life! It’s the day my mates and I promised to be with each other forever.
Suddenly, I’m pulled into a hug by them. Cocooned in their combined embrace, I feel the happiest and safest I’ve ever been.
“I love you,” Jacob says, kissing the top of my head.
“I love you too, Jacob.” As Kai and Cole squeeze my hands, I look up at them. “I love you guys too.”
“I love you, Winter,” Cole and Kai chorus and kiss my cheeks.
A deep sense of humbleness and gratitude pervades through the warmth and happiness surging through me. After years of neglect, I’ve finally found my mates. Their presence lifts the sadness that has weighed on me ever since my dad left me.
Tears roll down my cheeks as I stay in Jacob, Cole, and Kai’s embrace.
“Are you okay, love?” Jacob asks.
I nod and smile. “I’m just so happy,” I tell him with a chuckle. “You guys are my Christmas miracle.”
“And, you’re ours,” says Cole. “You have no idea how happy you make us, how complete we feel when you’re with us.”
Pure bliss flows through me as I realize my happy ending has just begun.
Epilogue
Winter
Nine months later
Cole sits at the foot of the couch, rubbing my swollen feet.
Moans of pure pleasure escape my lips as I feel the comfort reach up my legs. From time to time, he gently places a hand on my swollen belly to feel our baby moving inside me.
We’d discovered I was pregnant soon after we moved into my parents’ house. Happiness bubbles inside me each time I remember that day.
Carol and our neighbors gave us an amazing welcome, filling our dinner table with casseroles of their signature dishes. Jacob, Cole, and Kai were so overwhelmed by their hospitality, they invited everyone for a housewarming party the next day.
“Oww!” I gasp, massaging my belly as the baby gives a particularly hard, excited kick. “Daddy’s not going anywhere but if you keep kicking me like this, I’ll have to run to the bathroom.”
