My Suprise

WINONA.

These moments…

I will never be able to put them into words. The love that I feel for someone I have just met… is unexplainable. I feel as if the heavens and the gods themselves have blessed me with everything.

Leo, Corrado, Marcel, Royce, Charlotte and now my mother. 4

I once thought I had no family, and then Leo stepped into my life, offering me safety and a home.

Corrado, a child whose smile became my entire world…

Marcel, a man I never knew I could love and have, and so much more than that. I was given him as my mate.

Royce, my brother is brave enough to push to be a part of my life. Even before I knew who he was, the way he looked at me shows me that he loves me and will always protect

Charlotte, my feisty little sister who is a queen with the confidence to make up for my lack thereof.

And my Mom, someone who has yearned for me, after being lied to and betrayed by her own mate, has suffered for years. Her happiness is so strong I can feekit.

And now I know that it’s true; nothing compares to a mother’s embrace. No matter how old you get, there will always be something so special about it. 1

When Charlotte and I finally move apart, I look at my family.

‘Marcel, please come inside.’ I say softly through the mind link.

‘Of course, Bellissima.” 2

My heart skips a beat at the sound of his rugged voice, and I’m not sure if this is the right way to break the news I discovered to him in the morning, but I’m sure he’ll be ok with me doing so in front of my newfound family. 3

He knocks lightly on the door before he pushes it open and steps inside. Mom wipes. her tears, trying to compose herself, as she gets to her feet, taking mine and Charlotte’s hands and helps us up.

“Mom… Charlotte… I want you to meet my mate, Marcel Rossi.” I say softly.

I see that glimmer of uncertainty in Marcel’s eyes, almost as if hoping that he doesn’t shame me. It’s rarely there, but right now it’s like he’s preparing for Mom to remark on his age.

I gently tug away from her and look at him, wanting to reassure him that he can never bring me shame. I am proud to have him as my mate. To call him my own.

He closes the gap between us, and I place my hand on his chest, instantly his arms wrap around me, and I kiss his chest, inhaling his scent.
