Chapter25 Close your eyes , Alpha Xavien murmured , his voice a mixture of tenderness and resolve as he carefully navigated me down the dimly lit hallway .
Xavien , I giggled , trying unsuccessfully to sneak a glance .
What on earth are you up to ? Uh uh , no peeking , he chided , his hand slipping over my eyes to block my view .
His touch was warm , firm .
I mean it .
I sighed , surrendering to his lead , though my growing curiosity prickled at me .
Faint notes of soft music wafted through the air , and I caught the delicate , enchanting scent of candles somewhere in the distance .
My heartbeat quickened .
1/11 Chapter25 + 5 Points Alright , he finally said , coming to a stop .
You can open them now .
I opened my eyes and gasped .
The dining room had been utterly transformed .
Twinkling fairy lights wove a canopy across the ceiling , bathing the room in a soft , golden luminescence .
A small table , set exquisitely for two , sat at the center , surrounded by the warm glow of flickering candles and the gentle blush of rose petals scattered across the surface .
In the background , music played faintly , its melody wrapping the room in an otherworldly calm .
Xavien , I whispered , turning to face him , my voice filled with awe .
You … His lips curved into a quiet smile , his eyes glimmering in the glow of the lights .
Do you 2/11 Chapter25 + 5 Points like it ? Tears brimmed in my eyes as I nodded , overwhelmed .
Its perfect I said softly , my voice trembling with emotion .
He stepped forward , pulling out a chair and gesturing for me to sit .
I wanted to do something special .
For you .
For us .
I know Ive made mistakes , Camille .
Forgetting … I dont know how I let it happen , but I swear , no part of my heart has ever forgotten you .
As we sat together at the intimate table , it felt as if the world beyond the room simply ceased to exist .
The night unfolded beautifully , as though the atmosphere itself conspired to soothe every pain wed lived through .
We laughed , reminisced , and shared stories each memory dusted with a sweetness that seemed magnified by the fragile journey we had traveled to get here .
3/11 Chapter25 + 5 Points Alpha Xavien remained close , his hand brushing mine when he leaned forward to speak , his gaze scarcely wavering from my face .
Time passed gently , yet deeply , until finally , he grew quiet , his tone shifting with the weight of an unspoken thought .
Ive been thinking a lot about the baby we lost , he said , his voice breaking almost imperceptibly under the strain of vulnerability .
The rawness of the admission stilled me .
Reaching across the table , I took his hand in mine , my fingers curling over his .
Xavien , I said softly , feeling both the ache of our shared pain and the defiance of enduring love , I think about it too .
But no matter how deeply it hurt , we cant change the past .
What matters now is this moment , and the fact we made it here .
Together .
4/11 Chapter25 + 5 Points His jaw tightened slightly , and after a long pause , he nodded .
The squeeze of his hand was gentle , but certain .
Youre right .
And I promise you this , Camille whatever happens next , I wont falter .

Later that night , wrapped in the quiet sanctuary of our bed , I rolled to face him , my heart brimming with gratitude and peace .
He brushed a stray strand of hair from my face , his fingertips lingering against my cheek , warm and comforting .
The room was dark , save for the moonlight sifting through the curtains .
I dont think Ive ever loved anyone the way I love you , he whispered , so softly it felt like a prayer meant only for my ears .
5/11 Chapter25 + 5 Points I smiled , leaning into his to touch , my voice steady but tender .

How do you feel ? Happy , I replied simply , but the word carried the full weight of everything I couldnt put into longer sentences .
His grin widened .
He kissed me again , slower this time , though only a moment passed before he swung out of bed , leaving me to bask in the light of the morning .
By mid afternoon , a call shattered the calm of the days routine .
Alpha Xavien answered , quickly putting the phone on speaker so I could hear , too .
Youre not going to believe this , Osberts voice announced , alive with excitement .
What is it ? Alpha Xavien asked , frowning slightly in curiosity .
7/11 Chapter25 + 5 Points I found her , Osbert said , the words heavy with meaning .
The woman who ran the orphanage where I grew up .
She remembered everything .
Alpha Xavien , it wasnt random .
We were separated because of a fight between our parents .
They gave me up just like that and never came back .
Its heartbreaking , but at least … at least I have you now .
The silence that followed was thick and humming with emotion .
Alpha Xaviens features tightened , his jaw flexing as he processed Osberts words .
At last , he responded , his tone clear and steady .
Im sorry you had to go through that .
But its different now , Osbert .
Were here , and whatever time we lost , well make up for it .
I promise .
True to his word , a week later , we stood side by side as Osbert married Miranda in 8/11 Chapter25 + 5 Points a ceremony brimming with joy and hope .
Watching Alpha Xavien laugh with his brother was a kind of bittersweet beauty , but mostly it was healing .
As the night carried on , Alpha Xavien and I swayed together beneath the stars .
Youre really good at this brother thing , you know , I said , resting my cheek against his shoulder .
He chuckled .
And youre not bad at this wife gig .
But fate wasnt done with us yet .
Not entirely .
A few weeks after that perfect night , I woke with a sudden and unmistakable nausea .
Rushing to the bathroom , I knelt , the revelation dawning before I had the courage to utter it aloud .
Alpha Xavien found me there , his concern 9/11 Chapter25 + 5 Points taking shape in his voice .
Camille , whats wrong ? Are you okay ? I lifted my gaze , tears pooling , and said the words that set our world spinning in the best way .
Xavien , I think … Im pregnant .
His breath caught before his face split into a joyous smile .
Are you serious ? I nodded despite the tears streaming down my cheeks .
Without hesitation , he dropped to his knees , his hands cupping my stomach .
Meeting my eyes , his voice came low and full of resolve .
This time , Camille , I promise our baby will be safe .
I wont let anything happen to you or to them .
And for the first time in a long time , I believed in happy endings .
Deep down , I 10/11 Chapter25 + 5 Points knew this time , everything would be okay .
