We sit in silence for a while, enjoying the music and the scent of the candles before Devon methodically washes my hair and massages my scalp.
There's a sound from the other room and familiar voices fill the air.
"Hey, guys." Frankie smiles as he enters the bathroom. "How's it going?"
"Amazing. Devon's been taking good care of me."
"Of course he has." Frankie leans down to give Devon a kiss and then places one on my forehead. "Because he loves you."
Smiling, I appreciate my men so much. "How's Kyle doing?"
"Really good. In fact, he's got something he wants you to see.” He leans over the tub and rubs my belly. “He's just setting it up in the bedroom now."
"What is it?" I love surprises, and he has my curiosity piqued.
"You'll see." Frankie winks and grabs a towel. “You almost done?”
"Yes, you tease." I chuckle as Devon rinses the soap from my hair. Then, he and Frankie help me out of the tub and wrap me in a soft, fluffy towel.
They lead me into the bedroom where Kyle is waiting for us. "Hey, baby. How are you feeling?"
"Good." I lean in for a kiss and wrap my arms around his neck. "What's my surprise?"
He gestures to the bed with bated breath. "I've been working on something for you. Well, for our pup."
I look toward the bed, and my eyes widen as I see a wooden crib sitting alongside it. It's beautifully crafted with intricate details and a smooth finish.
"Oh my god." I cover my open mouth as my eyes fill with tears. My emotions have been running rampant lately, and I'm always on the verge of crying. "It's so beautiful."
Kyle exhales and holds me from behind, kissing the back of my neck. "I've been learning how to do stuff like this from one of the gray-muzzled wolves. It took a while, but I’m happy with the finished product."
"It's perfect." I wipe my eyes as I approach the crib, rubbing my hand along the smooth railing. "You did such a good job. Thank you."
"You're welcome." Kyle swallows back his own emotion. Emotion we rarely see from our big, tough alpha.
"It's almost time for dinner." Frankie puts an arm around my shoulders and pulls me to his side. "Are you hungry?"
"Starving." It’s true, but I can't tear my eyes away from the crib. My fingers trace the beautifully finished woodwork, and a sense of calm washes over me.
"Then let's go get you fed." Devon takes my hand and nudges me out of the room.
My mates are all so gentle with me, drying me off, dressing me, giving me such care and attention that I feel like my heart is about to burst.
"I love you." I look at each of them in turn. "All of you. I can't imagine how my life might've turned out if you guys hadn't given me a ride in your station wagon that day."
"I'm so glad we did, baby." Kyle wraps his hand around the back of my neck and leans forward for a kiss. "We’re lucky we found you. We’d been searching for a long time."
The four of us head to the dining hall together, chatting and laughing as we go. My heart is full of love and joy. And I know that no matter what happens, I'll always have my mates by my side.

FRANKIE
"I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting to see you ever again." I raise a brow as I look across the table at Jenna.
The hunter looks better than she did the last time I saw her. There's a glow around her cheeks and a perpetual smile on her lips. She seems completely relaxed despite the fact that she’s in the middle of a dining room surrounded by wolves.
"Camilla didn't want to miss her grandpup's birth." She gestures to the side of the room where River and his mother are sitting together near the fire. They've been talking quietly ever since she arrived, and everyone else has given them space to reconnect.
