AUTHOR’S NOTE 

Once again… I am so grateful to you all for reading my book. 

-Grayson’s POV- 

Epilogue Two 

“Ava?” 

No answer. 

1 sighed and tried again, “Ava.”

This time, her voice drifted through our bond, laced with amusement, ‘You’re supposed to figure out where I am from the clues, not wander around yelling my name like a lost puppy. 

That was all I needed to know. She was in my study. 

I pushed the door open, expecting to find her sitting at my desk, but she was nowhere in sight. Before I could call out again, her voice filled my mind once more. 

‘Hey, that’s cheating. 

I smirked, leaning against the doorframe, ‘Is it cheating if I saved myself the headache of having to read your awful handwriting to find you?‘ 

“You know, there was a time when you wouldn’t have dared say that to me because you wanted me to like your grumpy ass. 

I shook my head. “Where are you?” 

“Bathroom. And I’m not done, so don’t come in. And don’t sit in your chair. You know what? Just go out, give me five minutes, and then come back in.” 

I stared at the bathroom door, debating whether to follow her instructions or just walk in. A part of me wanted to find out what she was up to immediately, but ever since the triplets entered our lives, neither of us had caught a break. If she wanted this moment, I could wait. 

For now. 

“I know you’re still standing there staring at the door. Out, Grayson.” 

I sighed, pushing off the frame and stepping out. The second the door shut behind me, I heard my name being called. My smile faded instantly as Ivan approached, bowing his head. 

“I needed to speak with you, Your Highness. Is this a good time?” 

I glanced back at the door. “Can it wait?” 

He nodded. “Of course, Your Highness.” 

He bowed once more before walking away. 

Ava had insisted he was the perfect choice for my Beta when I was considering candidates. At first, I hadn’t thought of him, and after what had happened with Liam, I knew I had to be more careful. But like with many other things, she had been right.

My wolf growled in my head, impatient. I wasn’t the only one curious. 

I opened the door again and this time, I saw her. 

She was sitting in my chair, legs crossed, looking completely at home in only a tailored suit jacket. My eyes traced the smooth expanse of her legs, stopping at the pair of heels she had on. 

“Ava,” My voice came out lower than I intended, “What are you doing?” 

She leaned back, tilting her head, “Take a seat.” 

One brow lifted, but I humored her, sitting across from her, “Are you going to tell me what this is about?” 

She didn’t answer right away. Instead, she reached into the top drawer and pulled out a document, placing it on the desk, “You see I have a problem that only you can help me with. I know it can be fixed, which is why you’re here.”

A slow smile spread across my face as I finally pieced together what was happening. Still, I decided to play along, “And what exactly is the problem?” 

I saw her fighting back a grin before she opened her mouth–only to burst out laughing. 

“I can’t say it!” She giggled, covering her face, “You know, you were just a jackass for putting me on the spot like that when we met.” 

She stood up then, and that was when I saw the rest of her outfit. Or rather, lack of it. 

Fuck. 

My gaze raked over her, drinking in the sight of long, bare legs and the way the oversized jacket barely covered her thighs. 

“And you’re not listening to me,” She teased, “My eyes are up here.” 

I snapped out of it, dragging my gaze back up, “Let me guess–Isabella’s idea?” 

She grinned, eyes flickering gold. “She thought it’d be fun to reenact the day we first met. We practiced and everything–I swear I was about to say it properly.” 

“Say what? I can’t get hard?” 

She choked on her laughter, shoving me playfully, “Stop it!” 

Still laughing, she shook her head, then her expression softened, “Can you believe it’s been two years?” 

I pulled her toward me, wrapping an arm around her waist. “Two years, and you’re still driving me insane.” 

She sighed dramatically, “And yet, you still love me.” 

I pressed my forehead against hers, my voice softer now. “More than I ever thought possible.” 

Ava tilted her head, studying me, “I still don’t get how you can be so sweet with me and then glare at everyone else like you want them dead.” 

I smirked, “Maybe I do want them dead.” 

She rolled her eyes, “Oh, please. Secretly, you love everyone.” 

I said nothing. Because I wasn’t going to admit that it did feel like the warmth I had lost growing up had finally returned. And they all had something to do with it.

But especially her. 

And the triplets. 

My eyes drifted back to the document on the table, brow arching, “Were you about to make me sign a contract?” 

Ava leaned back, arms crossing with faux innocence, “Nope. That is a list of things we’re going to do on our two–month vacation.” 

I blinked, “Our what?”

Before I could say anything else, she rushed on, “Before you argue, hear me out. We haven’t caught a break since–honestly? Since even before the kids came. And I love them. I really do. But I’m exhausted. So, I thought it would be a good idea for us to take a break, and I-” 

My eyes narrowed, “And where, exactly, will the triplets be while we’re taking this ‘break‘?” 

Ava suddenly found the ceiling very interesting. She mumbled, “… With Isabella and Rickon.” 

“No.” 

“Come on, Grayson,” She groaned. “They can be responsible when they want to be.” 

I 

gave her a blank stare. “The same Isabella and Rickon that we left them with for just one day and came back to find them with marker drawn tattoos all over them?” 

Ava burst out laughing at the memory. “Okay, yes, that happened, but it was funny!” 

I gave her a pointed look. 

She cleared her throat and suddenly found the ceiling very interesting, “I mean… it was concerning, of course. Very serious. But they’re thinking about having kids soon! This would be good practice for them.” 

“Ava-” 

“Pleeeease, Grayson,” She cut me off, pouting up at me with wide, pleading eyes, “Please, please, please.” 

I sighed, rubbing my temples. “Let’s say I consider leaving them. Why can’t they stay with Maria or Elaine?” 

Ava’s face scrunched up. “Maria’s still banned from using magic near them after the ‘floating incident,‘ and Elaine?” She huffed. “You know she already helps her a lot and don’t go poking your nose into it but she finally said yes to going out with Ricardo so needs to focus on that.” 

I grunted. Fair point. 

“Okay, what if they stay with Isabella and Rickon, but-” She lifted a finger before I could protest-“everyone scheduled visits to check on them, starting with my parents, and we’ll get full reports every day?” 

“Every three hours.” 

“Twice a day.” 

“Every five hours.” 

She groaned, “Who knew you’d be such a baby hogger? Three times a day, and that’s my final offer.” 

I considered it for a moment, then nodded, “Fine.” 

Her eyes lit up, “So that’s a yes?”
