An hour later, Roxie and I were right there in the front row as our guys faced off with the Wardens.
It was funny… when I first came to North Crossing I felt so isolated. I needed a roommate, not because I needed help with rent, but because I couldn’t stand living alone.
Who would’ve thought that the woman answering my ad would be my omega and she’d lead me right to my deltas. One who brought me back to life and the one I thought I’d lost.
Here we were, less than a year later, packed up and fully bonded, with three babies on the way.
This was everything I could’ve ever wanted

“Go! Go, go! Go, go!”
I jumped in my seat, one hand on my belly, the other waving in the air as Lachlan Evans stole the puck and slammed it toward the goal.
The loud buzzers went off as the whole arena erupted in cheers.
The guys skated a victory lap around the rink before shaking hands with the Wardens. They looked devastated at the loss.
I couldn’t blame them, but I was too excited for my guys to care.
Greer went out with the victory he’d been craving.
I’d hit publish on the second article months ago, and Jeremiah Kingsford immediately funded a full sports edition toThe Gathering Place.
Part of it was for his own gain, of course. I’d be covering the Narwhals from time to time, but now I was able to hire two new sports journalists, along with another editor to help Charlie.
Just like I’d hoped,The Gathering Placewas growing day by day, more members subscribing and sharing our articles. We even had a full print version now that went out bimonthly.
A flutter in my stomach had me gasping.
Rylan looked over, startled, but I just snatched his hand and placed it on my belly.
“The babies are celebrating with us.”
He bent down right there in the stands, placing several kisses on my belly, one for each of the triplets.
As a pack, we’d determined we didn’t want to know the paternity. Love and environment mattered more than biology.
I knew that more than most. So did my pack.
Our babies were going to be beyond spoiled.
As the stands cleared out, we hurried to wait by the locker room.
The whole team was practically running out, ready to celebrate, asking if our pack was coming, too.
But both Greer and Kota shook their heads.
“I think we’re going to celebrate with our omega,” Greer said, pulling me close and kissing me, one hand resting on my belly.
They always did that now.
Though, they were touching me constantly before I was pregnant, too, which is how I got into this situation.
Now, in just a few short months, we were going to welcome our babies into this world.
They would have a full-time stay-at-home dad thanks to Greer’s retirement, and the rest of us would be close by.
