Isalyn squealed with delight. Kissing Jordan on the cheek again, she rushed up the stairs, listening to her husband call after her and telling her to wait a moment. But Isalyn didn’t want to wait; she wanted to see Isabella’s babies. For as close as they had become, Isalyn truly felt as if Isabella were her sister.
For all they had been through together, they were in spirit if not by blood.
It was a joyful night at Castle Questing as two new souls were brought into the world. Isalyn stood in the doorway of Isabella and Fraser’s chamber, becoming misty-eyed as ever-stoic Fraser had tears streaming down his face at the sight of two healthy boys.
As Tor came to stand behind his wife, he put his arm around her as he admired Fraser and Isabella’s boys from afar. Isalyn gazed up at her handsome husband, feeling the love from him more than she ever had. Love was in the air tonight, for them all, with the births of William and Kieran le Kerque, named after both of Isabella’s grandfathers.
Four years ago when Isalyn had taken a chance on a horse that had run away with her, she could have never imagined how her life would be changed by the man who had saved her from certain injury or death. A brave knight bearing a de Wolfe tunic who had risked his life for her, in what would be the first of many times. Strong, courageous, and noble, sometimes she wondered if she was worthy of him.
Isalyn had gone from a lonely woman living with her aunt in London to a massive family that spanned most of Northumberland. She had a husband she loved more with each successive breath, two beautiful sons, a father she had finally become closer to, and a life that most women dreamed of. Provincial or not, the wilds of Northumberland had become her home and she loved it there.
She loved her life.
For the lass with a taste for big cities and the widowed knight who had lost his way in life, they found a strong love that was worth fighting for, because there is no love stronger than that of a de Wolfe and his mate.
Isalyn and Tor had finally found their little bit of heaven.
