Angel’s brows furrow as she studies the house in front of her.

The weak sunlight bounces on the O–ring of the choker adorning her delicate neck, the magnetic cuffs around her wrist shine, and the four diamonds on her ting sparkle, reminding me that I did not dream of Agapi mou saying yes to our marriage proposal. I was scared that even after trying to show her how much we love her and how sorry we are for fucking up things with her, she would still decide to say no to us. Not that I would ever let her go, not when my heart, soul, entire being belong to her, not when our baby is growing in her belly, but I want her to be with us because she wants us. Because she loves us. And she does.

Agapi mou. My love.

For years, I called her Agapi, but she is not only love, she is my love. The only woman I have ever loved, the one that is mine for all eternity.

In just a few more days, we will take her to the Blood Lodge and pierce her so that our demons never consume us.

“I thought we were going home,” she sounds unsure.

I glance at Reyes and Stefan. It took a while for Reyes and I to forgive Stefan for putting Angel in so much danger and lying to us, but the link binding us together as blood–brothers is stronger than any wedge that can come between us.

“The last time I was in the city, I saw this house and got curious about it and wanted to see it, but with the police wanting to arrest Reyes and you still in danger, I didn’t have time.” While Carlos is still out there, she is still in danger, but Rueben and his blood–brothers are looking for him. It won’t be long now until he is brought to justice for torturing

hellstar. “Since we were in the neighborhood, I thought it was a good idea to see it now.”

Angel wraps her arms around herself, her petite body shivering because of the cold, and I snake an arm around her waist, hoping my body heat will be enough to warm her. Reyes puts his arms around her shoulders. “What I want is to go home, have a cup of hot cocoa while we snuggle on the sofa, and watch TV.” She looks at the sky. “And it will snow soon,” she complains. “I miss the warm weather of Bora Bora.”

December is very cold in Veross City, from time to time, a snowstorm would force everyone to remain inside for days. Not a bad idea, as I got used to spending all my time with Angel. Unfortunately, I have to return to work, but I will drastically reduce my working hours, not wanting to be apart from her for long stretches of time. And when the baby comes, she will need lots of help, as we don’t expect her to take care of our child twenty–four hours a day, and we don’t want to hire a nanny. With four parents, our child won’t need a stranger to raise him. Or her.
