Chapter 398 Yes to Forever
Nira’s POV:
Killian was at the grand piano in the corner, his fingers moving over the keys of Mariage d’Amour. The melody filled the roc and sentimental.
Natalie approached me, holding a gown that sparkled under the light like a slice of the night sky. “Honey, try this on for me
The dress was intricate, sewn with what must have been thousands of tiny diamonds. It caught the light with every movem shimmering like a river of stars.
After I changed and stepped out, the observatory’s dome began to retract slowly, fully opening to reveal the actual night skj The real stars glittered down, merging with the atmosphere inside.
There, in the center of that starry expanse, stood Kade. Behind him, holograms flickered to life-replaying key moments fror life. The ER where I’d performed my first solo rescue, the quiet college library stacks, the street corner where he and I had fir: into each other. Each memory was rendered in vivid detail.
“Nira,” Kade began, lowering himself to one knee. His voice wavered just slightly. “I used to think I was a star drifting alone… you crossed my path.”
As he spoke, a fleet of drones ascended silently into the open air. They arranged themselves into the elegant spiral of a DNA d helix, then shifted smoothly into the distinct outline of a diamond ring.
Gordon wheeled in a star-shaped cake then, topped with twenty-two flickering candles. “Go on, sweetheart,” he encouraged gently. “Make a wish.”
I closed my eyes. When I opened them, the entire observatory floor had lit up beneath our feet, unveiling a love letter Kade hac handwritten-line after line, ten thousand words long-stretched across the ground.
At the very heart of the display, inside a glass case, sat a blue diamond ring. It was an exact replica of the one my mother had w on her own wedding day.
“Will you marry me?” Kade took my hand, his touch warm. “Let me be your family, just like you’ve been my light.”
Nearby, Natalie and Killian were holding each other, tears streaming down their faces. Desmond was buzzing around, snapping photos from every possible angle.
I felt a tear escape and land right on the ring’s surface.
Even though Lyra stirred restlessly within me her rejection faint but palpable–I managed to steady my voice. “I do.”
Beneath that endless sky, Kade slid the ring onto my finger, his movements slow and deliberate.
The drones lifted off once more, this time arranging themselves into a single, glowing word, “Forever.””
Gordon cracked open a bottle of champagne he’d been saving for years, and we all raised our glasses, ready to toast-
“Wait!” Natalie interrupted suddenly.
She pulled out an elegant, antique pocket watch and pressed it into my palm. “This was your grandmother’s. She wanted her first granddaughter to have it as part of her wedding legacy”

Not to be outdone, Killian adjusted his glasses and added, “And I’ve secured a private island for the ceremony. We’ll host the wedding there.”
I was caught between laughter and tears, leaning into Kade’s shoulder as i took in the sight of everyone I loved most, all gathe
under the stars.
In that moment, it hit me: the most romantic thing the world wasn’t grand gestures-it was being completely surrounded b love.
Kade seized the opportunity and turned to Natalie and Killian. “Next month, I’ll bring my grandmother over. We can all sit dow together and start planning the wedding date.”
Hearing that, I glanced at Kade. I’d just said yes to the proposal, and already we were talking venues and dates–about officiall becoming his bonded mate?
I wasn’t mentally prepared for things to move so fast.
Natalie and Killian exchanged a look. Killian cleared his throat, phrasing his words carefully. “What you mean, Kade, is that it’s shame your grandmother couldn’t be here tonight for the proposal, right? That’s perfectly alright. In a few years, when the two you actually tie the knot, she’ll be there to celebrate with us.”
He emphasized the words a few years just enough.
Natalie promptly took my arm, her smile warm but firm. “Come on, honey, let’s get you out of this dress before it gets too heavy
And just like that, she guided me away, leaving Kade with no opening to continue.
He shot me a resigned, almost pleading look. All I could do was offer a slight shrug before following Natalie out of the room.
Moonlight seeped through the sheer curtains, painting scattered, soft shapes across the hardwood floor.
After my shower, I stood in front of the mirror wearing a silk robe. Droplets still clung to the ends of my hair, tracing paths down to my collarbone. In the dim light, my reflection seemed softer, more magnetic than usual–there was a subtle allure to it, something quietly intoxicating.
When I walked out of the bathroom, I found Kade leaning against the bay window, a glass of red wine held loosely in his long fingers. The dark liquid seemed to glow under the moonlight.
He lifted his gaze to meet mine, and almost instantly, his eyes darkened with raw, unmistakable want
He set the wine glass down on the windowsill, leaving a faint smudge on the glass.
“Come here,” he said, his voice low and rough around the edges. He reached a hand out toward me.
