Filling. Nothing fancy... except the way Edda kept stealing looks at Aiden like she was remembering exactly how his mouth felt on hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liri, Leona, and Ivy sat on one side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden and Edda sat at opposite heads of the long table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liri’s eyes flicked between her mom and Aiden. Then she narrowed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mamma’s staring weird,\" She whispered loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda jerked like she’d been stabbed. \"L-Liri! Eat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden smirked at her shamelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda instantly looked away, face on fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eat up...\" She muttered, voice tiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden grabbed his spoon. Ivy copied him. Liri did too. All three took a bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda held her breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden swallowed and leaned back lazily. \"Damn. If I knew the chef was this pretty, I’d have come sooner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda nearly dropped her bowl. \"Y-Young Heart, stop— eat properly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liri raised her hand. \"Mamma’s cooking is the best in the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy purred in agreement, tail flicking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leona... just stared at her bowl like it was a battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liri leaned toward her. \"What? Can’t eat on your own?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leona growled—very softly, very cutely—and snatched her spoon like it was a weapon of honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With maximum effort... she scooped one spoonful. Shook. Then shoved it in her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See?\" she said proudly. \"I can eat on my own!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liri giggled and patted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden chuckled. \"Careful, Leona.

She glared, then giggled anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda watched them, smiling faintly—then remembering she’d been kissed twice not an hour ago, and immediately turned crimson again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitantly cleared her throat. \"Um... Young Heart... your wives. What... what are they like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden set his spoon down. \"Alright. Starting with Luna.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda straightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luna’s basically a kid,\" Aiden said. \"Needs cuddles twenty-four seven. Can’t stay away from me. She’s probably sulking right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda blinked. \"She’s... very attached, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And pregnant,\" Aiden added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda’s jaw dropped. \"P-Pregnant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. Our first kid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda nodded slowly. \"I... see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden continued. \"Then there’s Ly. Princess Lysandra. Grimclaw royalty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda tilted her head. \"The Goblin Kingdom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep. She’s a bit scary when she gets pissed. Right now? Probably dealing with Luna’s nagging. Also probably furious I left with Leona and Ivy without telling her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah...\" Edda murmured. \"That sounds... complicated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And she’s pregnant too. Twins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda nearly choked on her stew. \"T-Twins?! Young Heart—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grinned. \"What? I’m healthy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She covered her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went on. \"Next is Arisha. Sword general of Grimclaw. Disciplined. Cold to everyone—except me and the girls.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So she’s... soft on the inside?\" Edda asked gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. She’ll be soft with you too. Bet on it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda’s ears turned pink. \"You... you really think so...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved on. \"Then there’s Thristle. Chugh princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda tilted her head. \"The Goblin Kingdom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden nodded, \"Ly’s childhood friend. She’s... uh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden glanced at the kids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda squinted. \"Young Heart?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s... very enthusiastic,\" he said carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda blinked once. Then twice. Then her face exploded into red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"O-Oh. That kind of enthusiastic?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden smirked. \"Exactly that kind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And right now,\" Aiden added, \"she’s probably teasing Ly saying Leona might have gotten a new Mummy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda covered her mouth. \"Young Heart... don’t say that—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda squeaked and looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liri suddenly turned to her. \"So are you getting married?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"M-Me?!\" Edda panicked. \"L-Liri—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden answered smoothly. \"Sure looks like it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda slapped his arm. \"Young Heart!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liri’s eyes grew shiny. \"Mamma will finally be happy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda froze. Then softened. \"Oh, baby... Mamma is already happy. Because you’re with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden smiled and kept going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden smiled softly. \"Then there’s Nyxion. Black beauty. Mischievous. Clingy. I love her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She sounds lovely,\" Edda whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is. You’ll like her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then Vegia. Chugh’s magic general. Thristle’s best friend. We married recently. She can’t speak her heart at all. Shy as hell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda smiled shyly. \"I... kind of relate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then there’s Zerra. Goblin citizen. My driver at first. Somehow turned into more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda laughed lightly. \"You really are something, Young Heart...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He winked. \"Wait, I’m not done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda blinked. \"Th-There’s more?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Serica and Varra. This kingdom’s generals. You sorta know them already. No need to say much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda stared at him. \"...You married them too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden shrugged. \"Yep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked like she might pass out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then two member of the Pale Hands. Selvara and Venya.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-HUH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda froze. \"D-Demons? You... married demons?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden shrugged. \"Yeah. Why? You hate demons too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda shook her head immediately. \"No. People hate them. Not me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden smiled warmly. \"Good. Then you’ll like them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then Xylendra and Valeforia. Demon twins I bought as slaves. Xylendra’s shy. Valeforia’s... absolutely not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda turned red again. \"O-Oh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Aethoniel. One of the ant girls. Bought her with the twins. She’s... both shy and outspoken at the same time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda nodded, overwhelmed. \"Young Heart... how do you even—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I love them,\" He said simply. Then he looked straight at her. \"And now I love you too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda went scarlet, hands shaking around her spoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could speak, Leona pouted, porridge splattered everywhere. \"Daddy! You love me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden smiled toward her. \"I love you the most. My sweet little dragon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leona giggled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda watched them, warmth blooming in her chest she hadn’t felt in years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden met her eyes. Smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop staring at me like that, Edda. I’ll drag you back to the kitchen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Young Heart! Eat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept teasing her until every bowl was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kids rushed to Liri’s room after dinner, leaving Aiden and Edda alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the kids ran off to Liri’s room, the whole house finally went quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda barely managed to sit on the sofa before Aiden dropped down beside her—way too close, way too casual, way too dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax,\" He murmured, leaning back like he owned the place. \"I’m not gonna bite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You already did,\" She whispered before realizing what she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden choked on air. \"Edda?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slapped her hands over her mouth. \"I DIDN’T MEAN THAT—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned in. \"Say it again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grinned. \"Why not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you twist everything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only twist you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"YOUNG HEART!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed, low and smug, and she wanted to vanish into the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So,\" He said, tapping her arm lightly, \"you ate well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I—I tried...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You barely swallowed anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you kept LOOKING at me—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I like looking at you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She groaned. \"Young Heart, stop...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" He nudged her knee playfully. \"You’re cute when you’re flustered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t say cute... I’m too old to be cute...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I’m telling you you’re cute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Heart...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shifted closer again, shoulder brushing hers. Her breath hitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Heart...\" She whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re... doing it again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doing what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being... like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flirty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put a hand on the back of the sofa behind her. \"Get used to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can’t just—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re mine now. Of course I’m gonna flirt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda buried her face in her hands. \"I can’t handle you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You handled me fine in the kitchen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her entire soul left her body. \"AIDEN NIGHTSHADE!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He beamed. \"There it is. Full name. That means I won.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going to faint—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently tugged her hands away from her face. \"Don’t faint yet. I still need you for something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gulped. \"W-What...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After we finish here... I’m taking you to meet my wives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda’s face melted into bright red. \"I-I will... I promise...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good girl.\" Aiden smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edda swallowed. \"Young Heart... what if they think I’m... stealing you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They won’t.\" He smiled slowly. \"They know I chose you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chosen?\" Her voice cracked like she couldn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think I kiss people I don’t choose?\" Aiden asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face went crimson. \"Don’t talk about the kiss...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which one?\" He leaned closer. \"First one or second one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"YOUNG HEART!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You started it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"NO I DIDN’T—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed softly. \"Then I’ll remind you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Heart—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t let her finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slid an arm around her waist, pulling her straight into him.
