“Dalia, you’ve given us a reason to breathe—to live again.” I lift her free hand to my lips, pressing a kiss to her palm. “Finding you and our place in Iero has brought us a new purpose to life. Living without you isn’t possible, and thank Freya, we’ll never have to.”
As one, Titan, Steel, and I drop to one knee. Titan and I keep our hold on her hands as Steel pulls a box from his pocket, flicking it open and offering it to her.
“Will you marry us?” we ask, mostly together.
Tears fill her eyes as she glances between the three of us. “Are you serious right now?”
“As a heart attack.” I grin.
She laughs, shaking her head. “Yes. Of course, yes!”
“Thank fuck,” I mutter, jumping to my feet. Releasing my hold on her hand so Steel can slide the ring onto her finger, I spin around to face the gathered crowd. They’re already cheering, but I can’t help crowing, “She said yes!!!”
Boots stomp, hands clap, and screams sound out, filling the air with the sounds of celebration.
I spin around to kiss my girl, unable to kiss her properly since I can’t wipe the smile off my face.
“I love you, gorgeous.”
“I love you, too.” She grins as she pulls back, waving at our friends and family gathered. “I guess we’re having a party?”
Steel huffs out a laugh. “What gave it away? Come on. Let’s get some food.”
He leads her away with Titan trailing behind them, but I take a moment to just watch everyone.
Sometimes it’s hard to believe this is our life. After the war, we never thought we’d have a place to call home. MCs weren’t often welcome to settle anywhere. There were safe houses weset up to stay in temporarily, but the Headless Riders were true nomads.
Just as the Gorgons, Wayward Pookas, and the Wild Hunt. Now, we all call Iero home, and it’s a beautiful thing.
The last six months have been busy as we’ve helped build houses and fix up others. We finally finished the last of the houses two days ago, so now everyone is settled into their permanent homes.
While we’ve been busy on our island, we haven’t forgotten about the outside world. It won’t be much longer before we have to venture out of our paradise. I can feel the trouble building, but I don’t know where or what. It’s just my innerreiterletting me know something is coming, and we’ll be needed.
Hopefully, we have enough time to marry our girl and have a honeymoon of some kind before we’re called away.
“Blaze!”
My head snaps toward my girl, who’s waving me to join them. My feet are already moving without a thought.
If she wants me, then she’ll have me.
Anything she wants, I’ll do my damnedest to give it to her because that’s what it means to love someone.
Fuck, I’d do the same thing for Steel and Titan. They might get on my nerves from time to time—although we all know it’s more likely that I’m the one getting on their nerves—I love them so much.
They’re so much more than my lovers—they’re my family.
EPILOGUE
Enya
Watching Dalia marry Titan, Blaze, and Steel is refreshing. A little fast since the guys only proposed two weeks ago, but I can’t blame Dalia for not wanting to wait.
After the war, there hasn’t been a need for things like weddings. It felt frivolous and unnecessary. I’m glad they chose not only to have a ceremony and a reception but to invite the entire city.
Dalia’s always beautiful, but in her red gown, she’s practically glowing. I guess that could be in part from being a moirai—she and her sisters have started emanating a glow more frequently—but I think most of it is how happy she is.
Envy sits heavily in my stomach, and I hate myself for it.
