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.
