Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Stars Beyond Shattered Skies - Ethan Rowland** **Chapter 145 - Our Perfect Future** Maximus's POV Leaning casually against the doorframe of our bedroom, I crossed my arms and let my gaze settle on her, captivated by the sight before me as if she were the only thing in existence. Because, in truth, she was.

Emilia was positioned by the window, her arms tightly folded across her chest, her eyes fixed on the snowfall outside. Each flake seemed to offend her personally, as if they were intruding on her serenity. Her brown hair cascaded down her back in tousled waves, and the flickering firelight cast a warm golden hue across her skin. She wore one of my shirts again, the fabric hanging loosely on her frame, revealing nothing else. It was, without a doubt, my favorite view in the universe.

For days now, she had been in a mood-no ordinary mood, mind you; this was a full-blown, adorable, fire-breathing dragon kind of grumpiness. Just yesterday, she had snapped at me for the audacity of breathing too loudly. And the day before that, she had shed tears over the bread being too crusty. At this point, I had given up trying to decipher her moods. Instead, I let her scold me, planted a gentle kiss on her forehead, and braced myself for the storm to pass. Today's tempest, it seemed, revolved around the female warriors.

"Emilia, my love," I ventured softly, attempting to soothe her, "I only said they're doing well in their training. That's all. I swear on the moon, I barely even glanced at them." She snorted, a loud and theatrical sound that made me chuckle, then turned her face away, as if my words had no power over her. "You said they were strong. And fast. And had 'impressive footwork.' I heard you, Maximus," she retorted, her tone sharp. "I was merely commenting on their fighting stance!" I protested, trying to defend myself.

"Then go admire your she-wolves," she muttered, chin lifted defiantly, her arms tightening even more around herself. "Leave me here. Alone. Unwanted. Ugly. Fat. Whatever." My heart did that familiar flip, that ridiculous reaction it always had when she grew possessive. Oh, how I adored her jealousy! I loved the way her eyes sparkled like silver when she feared someone might take even a fraction of my attention. As if the entire world dulled to gray the moment she looked away from me. "Baby," I said, stepping forward, my voice low and pleading, "please." "Go away," she shot back.

"You know you're the only one I love. The only one I see. The only one I want. Always." She rolled her eyes so dramatically that I feared they might get stuck that way. Then she spun around, glaring at me with those beautiful stormy eyes of hers. "You're so annoying." "I know," I replied, unable to suppress the grin spreading across my face like a fool. I couldn't help it. In three quick strides, I closed the distance between us and wrapped my arms around her from behind.

She stiffened for just a moment-classic Emilia stubbornness-but then melted against my chest as if she were always meant to fit there. She always did. "You're the only woman I'll ever have eyes for," I whispered into her hair, feeling the warmth radiate from her. "The she-wolves are just-" She twisted in my embrace and playfully smacked my chest. "You're talking about them again!" "Damn it, baby, no-" I laughed, gently capturing her wrists. "That came out wrong. I'll be quiet now." She huffed, her cheeks flushed and her lips forming a cute pout.

I was tempted to bite that bottom lip until she moaned my name. Instead, I pulled her closer, pressing my forehead against hers. "Come on, my love. You own my heart. You know that. You've known it since the first time you looked at me like I was worth saving." Her scowl softened just a fraction. I lifted her hand and pressed a slow, reverent kiss to her knuckles. She allowed it, and I felt a flicker of hope; progress was being made. But then, out of nowhere, her expression turned pale. She yanked her hand away from mine, pressed both palms to her stomach, and bolted for the bathroom.

"Emilia?" Panic surged through me like a war hammer. I hurried after her, my heart racing. She barely made it to the toilet before she was heaving. Dropping to my knees, I gathered her wild hair in my hands, holding it back while rubbing slow, soothing circles on her back-the way she liked when she was feeling unwell. "It's okay, love. I've got you. Just breathe," I murmured, my voice low and steady. She retched again, and my chest ached at the sight. I hated seeing her in pain. More than anything, I loathed it. When the episode finally subsided, I helped her stand on shaky legs.

She leaned over the sink, rinsing her mouth and splashing cold water on her face. I kept one hand on her waist, steadying her. "You okay, baby?" I asked softly. She nodded, still looking pale, but didn't respond. Just as I was about to scoop her up and carry her to bed, whether she liked it or not, I heard it. A tiny sound. Fast. Impossible to miss for a wolf king with senses sharper than steel. A heartbeat. Not hers. Not mine. A third heartbeat. So small, so perfect, fluttering like a trapped bird inside her belly. Time froze.

My knees buckled, and I sank to the bathroom floor, pressing my forehead against her stomach as if it were the most sacred thing I'd ever touched. Because it was. "Maximus?" Her voice was small, confused. "What are you-" I looked up at her, and I could feel the moisture gathering in my eyes. I didn't even care. "We're going to be parents," I whispered, my grin so wide it felt like it might break my face. She blinked at me, tilting her head as if she didn't quite grasp the words I was saying. Then her gaze dropped to her stomach, back to my face, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Oh my God," she gasped. "I'm pregnant?" I nodded, too overwhelmed to form words. She screamed-a happy, shocked, beautiful sound-and dropped to her knees beside me, throwing her arms around my neck. I caught her, holding her so tightly that I feared I might hurt her, but she clung to me even harder. "I'm so happy," she cried into my shoulder, her voice muffled and shaky. "Maximus, I'm so happy." "I'm so happy, Emilia," I rasped, burying my face in her hair. "You have no idea what you've done for me. You gave me life when I thought mine was over. You gave me hope when I had none left.

And now-now you're giving me a family." I pulled back just enough to cup her face, my thumbs brushing away the tears that fell. "You're my light," I told her, my voice cracking with emotion. "You saved this cursed king when he'd given up on himself. I'll love you forever. I'll cherish you forever. Every day, every breath, every heartbeat; they're yours." She sobbed once, overwhelmed with happiness, and pressed her forehead to mine. "I love you, Maximus. You are my everything." Then I kissed her-softly, slowly, deeply-as if we had all the time in the world because, in that moment, we did.

When we finally pulled apart, I stood up and scooped her into my arms. She squeaked, laughter bubbling through her tears as I spun her around like we were carefree children again. Her laughter rang out, bright and free, and it felt like music to my ears. I set her down gently, my hands sliding to her waist, cradling her as if she were made of starlight. "Mine," I whispered, my voice thick with awe. "My forever. The mother of my children." She smiled, her eyes sparkling, and placed her hands over mine on her still-flat belly. "Mine," she echoed back. "My king.

The father of my children." I couldn't help but smirk. "Want me to remind you exactly how I got you pregnant in the first place?" She gasped, smacking my shoulder playfully. "You're sleeping on the couch tonight. I haven't forgotten about your warrior fangirls." I groaned dramatically. "Baby, no, come on-" She stormed out of the bathroom-well, waddled, really-because she was laughing too hard to walk straight. I chased after her, pleading my case. "I didn't even look, I swear!

My eyes were closed the whole training session!" "Liar!" she shot back, already crawling into our bed and burrowing under the blankets like an angry little badger. I dove in after her, wrapping her up from behind, kissing her neck until she was giggling and squirming, pretending she wasn't melting into a puddle. My heart was so full it felt like it might burst. My life was perfect. I had my mate. My queen. My light. And now-now we were growing our family. The future stretched out before us, bright and wild and beautiful. And I couldn't wait to savor every single second of it with her.
