The twins traded gazes and smiled.
“We wouldn’t have it any other way,” said Dane. “Let’s go home, Danielle. Your new home.”
Epilogue
Three months later…
By the time the makeup artist declared she was ready, Danielle felt like she had stepped into a fairytale land. In less than thirty minutes, she would become Mrs. Edwards. She was surrounded by friends and family on the most important day of her life. Kate and her parents also came from Florida.
Her dress was a bespoke wedding gown from Alexander McQueen. The wedding cake was furnished by the famous cake maker Sylvia Weinstock and the nuptials were held in the Plaza. A girl’s dream couldn’t get any dreamier than that.
They gathered in the bride prep suite. Her mother beamed with pride as Danielle anxiously waited for Collin. He would walk her to the altar in place of her late father.
“You’re the most beautiful bride ever,” said Kate. Her face already flushed with champagne distributed freely among the guests. She pulled out her phone. “More selfies?”
“Why not?” Danielle took a few with her. Evan Edwards, PI, Dane and Collin’s cousin who doubled as the wedding photographer, also snapped pictures.
Kate had been dating Evan. That day Danielle met Dane and Collin in the Starbuck’s parking lot, they went back to her apartment. That was when Kate met Evan in his tiger form, and then in his human form, and things snowballed from there. Recently Kate had moved to New York to be with him. It was love at first sight, according to Kate.
Danielle moved to New York a month after that day. She quit her job and packed her things and left the sunshine state behind to join the Edwards clan.
Dane and Collin’s father, the current Prima, reluctantly welcomed her into the clan because she was human, but he immediately backed down when Dane stated he had no interest taking over if his old man couldn’t accept the fact Danielle was his mate. Their mate.
Dane and Collin’s dad must’ve known about his sons’ ménage arrangement with her, since he didn’t bat an eye when Collin was kissy feely with her when she was introduced as Dane’s fiancée.
Aunt Titania, who acted as a surrogate mother, had been nothing but gracious, welcoming her into the family. She helped Danielle fit in as the only non-shifter in the clan. Danielle was grateful. She hadn’t expected her soon-to-be aunt-in-law to be that nice. She was used to the haughty demeanor from Brian’s grandmother and thought all in-laws were the same. When her mom met the Edwards for the first time, she and Aunt Titania immediately clicked. Danielle suspected that the two were BFFs now.
“You are beautiful,” said her mother. “I wish your dad could see you now.”
“I wish my sister Marissa could see you, too. She would love you, she would.” Aunt Titania dabbed her eyes with a tissue.
Danielle could only offer a grin.
The door opened and Collin swept in. He took one look at her and beamed widely. “Dane is one lucky son of a bitch. You’re so beautiful, Danielle. The most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen.”
“Thank you.” Collin knew how to put on a perfect façade in public.
“Are you ready?” he asked.
She nodded.
He offered his arm. “Then I shall take you to him. Everybody’s waiting.”
She took Collin’s arm and adjusted her dress. She was ready to walk the aisle. Kate gave her the bouquet.
“Yeah, let’s do this! Let’s get you hitched!” Kate cheered. Everybody laughed.
Yes, let’s do this. Danielle walked beside Collin, every step she took felt like a dream. Closer to her destiny. Happiness.
Forever.
