iesel had never been happier
in his life.

Not in bear form.

Not as a man.

Not the day he’d realized Sadie was his mate.

But watching his beautiful bride, ripe with his cubs, gorgeous in a flowing, high-waisted ivory dress, walking toward him down an aisle of red roses, Diesel knew he’d reached a level of happiness that few men were blessed to find.

Reagan smiled from across the aisle, beautiful in her own right in her sapphire blue Maid of Honor gown, while his brothers stood up at his side as dual best men.

No one was sitting in attendance; it was just family, standing in the great outdoors with Alaska as their backdrop while he and Sadie exchanged their vows. Yes, it was just a technicality. To Diesel, the day he’d claimed her was the day he’d told the universe that he was hers until his dying day, but for Sadie, this ritual was important.

A day she’d dreamt about since she and Reagan were just girls, and Diesel was happy to give it to her.

Hell, he’d give her anything she wanted, especially if it meant she wore
that
dress, and kept coming at him with a look on her face that said she loved him more than anything in this world. At least, until their cubs came.

Sadie was the perfect mate, and Diesel knew she’d make a wonderful mother.

In the last few months they’d settled into their life together. Sadie found that she could work from home and still have a thriving career, and she was pleased to be closer to her sister.

Diesel had learned to spend less time out in the wild, and more time at home, pleasing his wife, and he’d never felt more satisfied. His relationship with his brothers was growing too, although he’d rather have been at home snuggled up with his mate, than off having a drink with the town’s biggest players.

When she finally reached him, Diesel took her hands in his, then turned to the reverend and said, “I do.”

Sadie laughed, the sound like little lights brightening his world.

“You don’t say it yet, Diesel, you have to wait for him to say the vows.”

“My answer is still,
I do
,” he promised. “Forever and always.”
