"Our sons have alpha blood. Can you smell it?" When I nodded, Wyatt's breath caught in his throat before he cleared it and continued. "They'll be just like us. They'll grow up together and run the pack together and share a mate and—"

"Oh, my! I can't think so far in their future when they haven't even opened their eyes yet!" I giggled.

He gave me a lopsided grin, although tears still glazed his silver-shot blue eyes.

Time for a distraction.

"All right, let's divide up announcing their arrival. Papa," I looked at Mason, "you call the king and queen and Ranger and Junie."

He nodded and pulled out his phone, then snapped a picture of our babies and walked to the other side of the room.

"Dad," I moved my eyes to Cole, "you let Mom and Dad and Mama and Papa know. They'll probably want all the details."

"Can yourememberany details?" Wyatt smirked.

"Youdidfaint, dude," Ash cackled.

"Shut up!" Cole sulked and crossed his arms over his chest, but his eyes fogged over to do as I asked.

"Father," I interrupted their teasing and looked at Jayden, "please call my cousins on both sides."

"Of course, sweetness."

"And Pops—"

I had to stop and giggle. Even though the boys decided these names years ago, I still couldn't call Wyatt that with a straight face, especially not with Ash occasionally referring to him as Pop-Tart or Popsicle. My fifth star loved it, though, and didn't want to change it.

"Tell my betas, okay?"

"Aw, come on, Posy! You know they'll want to come here and fuss all over you!"

"Yes. And?" I tilted my head, not seeing a problem.

"Fine." He rolled his eyes with a groan. "I'll let your brothers-by-other-mothers know, but I'm going to tell them they can't come visit until later."

"That's fine." I nodded, then smiled up at Ash. "Tama, you think you can handle telling Grandma and Grandpa and my brothers?"

"Absolutely!" Ash whipped out his phone and moved away to make his phone call.

Finally left alone with my babies, I took a deep breath of their scent and smiled. After examining their tiny noses and puckered lips, I traced the tips of their tiny ears, then kissed their soft heads. Sure, they were all wrinkly and squished-up and a funny pinkish-purple color, but to me they were the most beautiful pups in the world.

"Mommy loves you, my babies," I whispered, my heart overflowing with happiness and love. "Mommy loves you so much."

It wasn't long before my mates were gathered around me again, and Mason said their wolves would like to meet the pups.

"We'll just let them ascend, not shift. Is that okay with you, little flower?"

"Mm hmm."

And that's all they needed to hear for their eyes to glow with wolf light.

"My pups," Sid whispered, his face awed and proud. "I have pups."

"Ourpups," Garnet corrected with an eye roll. "Andwehave pups."

"Three little boys." Granite beamed. "Going to be so bad."

"We should name them Trouble, Daredevil, and Mischief," Topaz agreed with a grin. "The new three musketeers."
