“If letting you go will bring us peace, I will do it.” I added. “I deserve it. We deserve it.”
The fucker remained silent. He gulped and looked down at his lap.
“I know this won’t mean much, but I really am sorry for everything I did.” he mumbled. “Now that all of that anger isn’t inside me anymore, I can’t believe that I did those things. I will spend my life making up for it.”
“I don’t care.” I said. “As long as I never see you again, I will be at peace.”
The fucker looked up at me and nodded.
“Speaking of never seeing you again, there are some conditions to your release.” Logan said.
The fucker looked at him.
“You will never come near my pack again.” Logan said. “If I find out that you or any of your warriors came close, I will crush you and your father.”
“I understand.” the fucker mumbled.
“There is more.” Logan said, making the fucker nod.
Logan took a step closer to him.
“You will cut ties with rogues.” Logan said. “If I find out that you are working with them, I won’t need Emma’s magic to destroy you.”
The fucker nodded.
“I will cut ties with my father as well.” he mumbled as a little bit of blood dropped from his mouth again. “Emma told me that I should listen to my wolf more. She was right.”
Logan looked at me and motioned toward the door. We were done here.
“Our warriors will take you to the border.” Logan said. “Goodbye, Alpha Nathan. Don’t cross paths with us again.”
He looked up at Logan and me and nodded.
I tightened my jaw and left his cell. Logan closed the door behind us.
“It was the best decision for our future.” Logan said as he placed a hand on my shoulder.
“I know.” I mumbled. “If we see him again, we will kill him.”
“Yes.” Logan nodded. “We gave him a chance. We won’t give him another one.”
I nodded and took a deep breath.
I didn’t have to forgive him for what he had done. I would never forgive him for what he had done.
But I decided to choose peace over revenge because it was better for my family.
I followed Logan out of the cellar. I couldn’t wait to see my mate and my child.

Three months later
Logan POV
I leaned on the door frame and looked at my mate.
I smiled. She was fucking perfect. Everything about her was perfect. Everything about her was made for me, and I wanted to cherish it until the day I stopped breathing.
She was looking through her closet for a shirt to put on.
My eyes fell on her bump.
My heart raced.
In just three and a half months, I was going to be a dad. I was finally going to have it all with the love of my life.
When we found out that she was pregnant, I thought I would explode with happiness. After that feeling subsided, I thought that panic would kill me. I started thinking that I wouldn’t be a good dad. I started thinking that I wouldn’t be able to take good care of our child.
When we found out that Emma was carrying twins, I almost passed out. I was panicking about having one child. Finding out that I was going to get two, almost gave me a heart attack.
Thankfully, I had a much wiser mate who told me to get my head out of my ass because I would be a great father. I believed her. She was convincing. After that, all I felt was happiness and excitement. I couldn’t wait to hold my children in my arms.
“Is everybody here?” Emma asked and looked at me.
I smiled and approached her. I hugged her from behind and placed my hand on her bump.
“Yes.” I said as I kissed her shoulder. “But I don’t want to share you with them.”
Emma chuckled and placed her hand over mine.
“We have to tell them.” she said. “I’m running out of loose shirts to wear.”
We decided to wait a little to tell our families that she was pregnant. We just wanted to make sure that everything was going okay with the pregnancy until we told them. And I wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet before my mom found out. She was all over Daisy when she found out that she was pregnant. I could only imagine what she would do now.
“I can buy you more.” I mumbled.
Emma laughed and turned around in my arms. She wrapped her hands around my neck and placed a small kiss on my lips.
“We need to tell them.” Emma said. “We need to tell the pack soon as well.”
I sighed and nodded, making Emma smile at me.
I tightened my arms around her and kissed her again. I was holding my whole world in my arms. She and our children were everything I needed.
Emma stopped kissing me and smiled again.
“Come on.” she said as she unwrapped her hands from my neck. “Let’s go. I want to see Mason.”
Daisy gave birth two months ago, and we all adored Mason. He was the cutest baby I’ve ever seen. Well, he would be the cutest baby until my children were born.
Emma pulled me toward the living room. I could hear our friends and family talk and laugh.
“Where is my buddy?” Emma asked as soon as she walked into the living room.
Andrew was holding his son and talking with Drake.
Daisy, my mom, and Amy were sitting on the couch and talking.
Drake and Amy came from their pack to visit us and see Mason. They were preparing a Luna ceremony and talking about a wedding. I was really happy for them.
All of them looked at us when we walked in.
Emma walked straight to her brother. She took Mason from him and kissed his forehead.
“Hi, buddy.” she said softly. “I missed you.”
“You saw him this morning.” Andrew chuckled.
“That was hours ago.” Emma said, rolling her eyes.
She sat down in the armchair, smiling at Mason.
My heart skipped a beat. I couldn’t wait to see her like that with our children.
Speaking of our children, it was time to tell our family.
I approached Emma and placed a hand on her shoulder. I smiled at Mason and took his little hand in mine. He grabbed my finger, and my smile grew.
“We have something to tell you, guys.” I said, looking up at our family.
They stopped talking and looked at us.
Andrew raised an eyebrow at us. Daisy narrowed her eyes and smirked. She probably guessed it.
“I am pregnant.” Emma said, smiling brightly.
The room was silent for a second, but then everyone moved at the same time.
“Oh, Goddess!” my mom exclaimed as a huge smile spread across her face.
“I knew it!” Daisy yelled.
“Finally!” Amy and Drake said at the same time.
Andrew remained silent, but there was a huge smile on his face. I could swear that I saw tears in his eyes as well.
“Logan, take Mason so I can hug Emma.” my mom said, wiping the tears from her cheeks.
Emma chuckled and handed me my nephew. I took him from her and stoop up, giving my family room to hug Emma.
My mom pulled her up and wrapped her arms around her tightly.
“Oh, I am so happy.” my mom said. “You are going to be an amazing mom, Emma.”
“I hope so.” Emma said.
“Oh, I know so, honey.” my mom said as she let go of her.
Daisy was next to pull her into a hug.
“I knew it!” Daisy repeated. “I can’t wait to be an aunt!”
Emma laughed and hugged Daisy back.
“It’s great.” Emma said. “You get to play with the kid and give him back to the parents at the end of the day.”
Daisy rolled her eyes, making Emma chuckle.
I looked down at Mason and smiled. Despite all of the commotion, he was sleeping peacefully. I caressed his little cheek, making him stir a little.
When I looked back up, Amy and Drake were next to Emma.
