I blinked my eyes open and rolled over to look at Sasha. She still slept soundly, her left hand resting on her pillow near her face. The engagement ring I gave her glinted in the morning light.
My heart swelled and I leaned over. I kissed the tip of her nose and ran my thumb over the ring.
Sasha wrinkled her nose and murmured, then fell back asleep.
I couldn’t believe how adorable she was or how lucky I was. I was engaged to my true mate, and we were going to be a family soon. Not only that, but Sasha was my true love.
My phone beeped, and I groaned and rolled over, turning the alarm off. The clock told me I had to be at the palace in an hour for a meeting with Xander.
He wanted to give me my new royal assignment. It was an exciting day, to finally be back at work, but I was still much more elated over Sasha agreeing to marry me and our baby’s imminent arrival.
I kissed Sasha on the forehead. “I love you,” I whispered.
