It humbles me every day.
“I wouldn’t trade a second of this,” Jodrick says, like he read my mind.
“Not even the time you burned the eggs?” I whisper.
He groans. Viraat smirks.
“Especially not then,” Viraat says. “You licked the yolk off his chin and made the worst breakfast of our lives look like some sacred rite.”
I laugh, loud and unguarded.
Inside, the Manor creaks and sighs, sunbeams slanting through stained glass and dust motes dancing in old libraries and newer playrooms. There are voices upstairs—guests waking, lovers kissing, someone digging in a toybox in the big shared nursery.
And beneath it all, that low, content hum. The magic is still alive. Stillawake. Still watching over us.
I kiss Jodrick’s cheek. Then Viraat’s.
“I think the baby can hear the house,” I whisper, palms pressed to my belly. “I think they like it.”
The manor’s hum deepens, just for a moment—almost a purr.
Jodrick brushes his thumb beneath my eye. “Of course they do. It’s home.”

Daddy’s Omega Queen
Rory Reynolds
I’ve been around Alphas my whole life. They are cruel and evil. So when I run from my pack and find myself at the mercy of the most powerful Alpha in the kingdom I’m not sure what to do.
He’s my mate and my wolf agrees, but can I trust him?
I’m his Omega and he wants my submission. Not only that… he wants me to call him Daddy.
