The door clicked shut behind us, shutting out the world. The firelight flickered on the walls of the Alpha's Quarters, casting shadows. My mind took a trip down memory lane, our first night together.
I barely remembered what happened that night, but it planted the seed that became the twins.
Then it was against my will and ourtime together was a haze from being drunk.
Today, it was different.
Roman held me close with his strong arms, my bare feet hanging as he embraced me. His eyes locked onto mine, filled with warmth and intensity, and I could feel the air between us change—growing heavier.
"Ready to rule by my side, Luna?" he asked, his voice a low rumble that vibrated through me.
"Yes," I'd answered, the word echoing in my chest as he set me down, my toes brushing the cool wooden floor.
But he didn't step back.
His hands stayed on my waist, fingers pressing just enough to anchor me, and I felt the pull of him, like gravity, like fate.
