The next morning, I tried to get out of bed, but arms of steel tightened their hold on me. I chuckled as he pulled me closer to him and he growled, “Where are you going, love?” I laughed, “I need to get up. I need some coffee before we go to the doctor.” I heard him gasp, then he jumped up and out of bed in a flash, “Well, come on, mate. We need to go to the doctor today!” I laughed at him and started to get out of bed, when he picked me up bridal style and took me to the bathroom. He sat me on the countertop and turned on the shower. I chuckled, “What are you doing?” He had this strange grin on his face as he told me, “Today, I start taking care of you and our babies.” I chuckled, “Babies?” He smiled, “I told you. I know it’s going to be quads. There is no way it can’t be.” I laughed, “No, it’s very possible that it’s not. I’m not hoping for any particular sex or set. I just want it to be healthy.” He smiled, “I do too. I just want quads.” I rolled my eyes, “I don’t know that I want m

I smiled, “You must be the slut I’ve heard so much about.” I started looking up and snapping my fingers trying to remember the name I was given, “Oh yeah. Yadira.” Yadira growled, “You wouldn’t even be here if I hadn’t left Victor.” I laughed, “Victor is gone. His tiger had left him and he went mad. It’s time you step away and go find your goddess-given mate. You will be much happier.” Yadira’s face started turning red and she was balling her fist. She raised her voice, “I, Yadira, challenge Adele, for the title of princess!” I laughed, “Oh, so you want to do this so soon? You’re not even going to give me a chance to settle in? Fine.” I raised my voice, “I, Adele, accept Yadira’s challenge.” Sebastian raised his voice, “Yadira, this challenge is only for the title of princess. I will still marry my mate, Adele. Therefore, this challenge will only be to submission.” Yadira insisted, “I wish to fight to the death. I will not settle for title only.” I agreed, “If that is what you want, th

Wow. That was a long shopping trip. By the time we got home, we had four cribs, and crib mattresses, four dressing tables, four sets of bottles, pacifiers, and a bunch of preemie and newborn size diapers. We had all of my bags of maternity clothes as well as some cute outfits and dresses I found for now. We had all three SUVs loaded to the brim. When we got back to the castle, there were several male staff members waiting for us. Queen Lori showed them where the nursery will be, and I told them which bags go where. I told them that I would put everything where I wanted it, if they would just take the bags to the designated rooms, and they were fine with that. As we were working on unloading everything, I looked up at the doors and found my mate just standing there with his arms crossed, just shaking his head and smiling. I hooked my index finger in a motion to make him come to me. When he reached me, he hugged me tightly and whispered, “It feels good to have you back in my arms.” I smi

Sebastian laughed, “Security is not an issue, love. Our security team has been working on this since the moment Victor found out that you were my mate. They knew Victor would start pursuing you and that this was inevitable. Therefore, they started making preparations for your arrival almost immediately. I furrowed my brow, “How would they know that?” He laughed, “To be honest, dad told them to start preparing when they got back from helping with the war. They saw the way Victor was acting and knew that he was losing it. They had him watched the moment he stopped hanging around with other women. They also knew that the rest of the triplets had no interest in taking the throne, so I was next in line.” I threw my head back in realization, “Ah, I see. Well, I’m glad they realize we need extra security, but I do think we could use some angels helping out.” He chuckled, “How can angels help?” I raised my eyebrows, “Angels can see into anyone’s heart. The angel that was guarding me when you f

I asked my mom, “Can you tell me who the guys you saw are, if you saw them again?” Mom chuckled, “Of course.” We went downstairs and walked around the dining room when mom pointed them out. Mom threw an ice bomb at them and they were frozen in place. I smiled at her, “Well, that’s a new trick.” Mom shrugged, “I never really thought to use it before.” We asked a couple warriors to take them to the dungeons just as we were approached by King Mateo, Queen Lydia and Noah. King Mateo asked, “What is going on?” Mom explained, “I saw Valerie speaking with a couple of men earlier today, and I followed the men. They went to Sebastian’s and Adele’s room. I stayed in my room, watching their room with our door cracked open. They walked out and Valerie walked in! She had no business being in there. Neither did those men. Adele just went to her room and we found bugs and cameras, three of each, in her room and bathroom. Then we found this on the bathroom mirror. She showed a picture of it from her p
