Chapter 33: Epilogue

It had been a few months since Gemini and Fourth started dating, and in that time, Gemini had changed.

The once cold, strategic, and emotionally distant Titicharoenrak heir now smiled more, laughed freely, and his eyes softened in ways no one had ever seen before. The mafia world still feared him, and the business world still respected him, but those who truly knew him saw the difference—he was happy.

And the reason behind it?

Fourth.

Fourth, with his warm heart and sassy attitude. Fourth, who unintentionally made Gemini addicted to every single part of him.

Gemini was sure of it now.

Fourth was the one. His one.

And that meant only one thing—

He wanted to mark him.

The soft glow of the bedroom lights bathed the room in a golden hue. It was one of their rare peaceful nights, where there was no family dinner, no business meeting, and no bakery rush. Just them, alone, wrapped up in each other.

Gemini had Fourth trapped beneath him on the bed, his hands framing his boyfriend's face as he kissed him slowly, deeply, savoring everything.

Fourth's fingers tangled in Gemini's dark locks, responding to the kiss just as passionately.

Gemini growled softly, loving how responsive his mate was. Their bodies pressed together, heat radiating between them, the scent of their pheromones intertwining in the air.

And that was when Gemini knew—

He couldn't wait any longer.

Pulling away slightly, his lips hovered just above Fourth's, their breaths mingling as he whispered, Fourth... baby...can I mark you ?

Fourth's eyes widened slightly, his lips slightly swollen from their kisses. Mark me ?

Gemini's fingers trailed down his jaw, his gaze intense but filled with nothing but love and possessiveness.

Yes. He murmured. I want to make you mine. Officially. I want our Alphas to become true mates. No one else will ever be able to claim you, and you'll be bound to me just as I am bound to you.

Fourth felt his heart pound.

Marking was sacred . It was a permanent bond that went beyond mere love—it tied their souls together.

And yet—

As he looked into Gemini's piercing, golden eyes, Fourth felt nothing but certainty.

A soft blush dusted his cheeks, but he nodded. Okay... you can mark me.

Gemini froze for a second, as if he hadn't expected Fourth to agree so easily. But then, his gaze darkened with desire, and his arms tightened around his mate.

You're mine now. He whispered.

And then, he wasted no time.

Gemini kissed his way down Fourth's jaw, his lips feather-light, making the younger male shiver. His tongue flicked out to taste his mate's skin, his scent glands flooding with longing.

Fourth gasped, tilting his head to the side instinctively, baring his neck, his scent growing sweeter, more intoxicating.

Gemini groaned at the scent of his mate submitting so beautifully.

His canines elongated slightly—a natural reaction to an Alpha preparing to mark their mate.

He pressed a lingering kiss to Fourth's scent gland before biting down.

The moment his teeth sank into Fourth's skin, an overwhelming surge of bonding energy pulsed between them.

Fourth whimpered, his fingers gripping Gemini's shoulders, his body tensing for a brief second before a rush of pleasure and warmth flooded through his veins.

It wasn't painful—it was intense.

Gemini held him tightly, his bite deepening, making sure the mark was permanent, unbreakable.

The moment he pulled away, he licked the wound, soothing it, and his Alpha released a victorious purr.

Fourth's eyes were glassy, dazed. His body felt different—like he belonged to Gemini in a way he never had before. Like they were connected.

And they were.

Gemini stroked his cheek, his lips ghosting over Fourth's swollen bite mark. How do you feel ?

Fourth blinked slowly, his voice breathy as he whispered, I feel... warm....and yours.

Gemini smirked, pressing his forehead against Fourth's. Good. Because now you're mine, baby.

Fourth smiled sleepily, his fingers tightening in Gemini's shirt.

Always.

:

The Jirochtikul family vacation was nothing short of a dream.

They had chosen a luxurious seaside resort, nestled between towering cliffs and a seemingly endless stretch of golden sand. The ocean waves lapped gently against the shore, the sun casting a golden glow over the waters.

And, to Gemini's delight, Gun had insisted that he come along.

You're practically family already. Gun had said with a warm smile, eyes twinkling. And I won't have my youngest son missing his beloved boyfriend.

Gemini hadn't been able to say no. Not that he ever wanted to.

The trip was perfect.

Watching Fourth laugh freely, his feet buried in the warm sand as he playfully splashed water at Mark and Satang... seeing the way Gun pampered his youngest, making sure he was well-fed and well-rested... and even observing Off's attempts to maintain his usual stern demeanor, only to melt under Fourth's bright smile—

It was a sight to behold.

Gemini had always known Fourth was adored, but experiencing it firsthand for a whole week ?

It only solidified what he had known for years now—

He wanted to marry him.

He had been planning this moment for a while now, but now that he was actually doing it, a strange feeling of nervousness had settled in his chest.

It wasn't fear. No, it was anticipation, excitement, a desperate need to finally call Fourth his for life.

So, after securing Off and Gun's blessings, he had enlisted the help of Mark, Satang, and Phuwin to pull off a proposal Fourth would never forget.

The sun had just begun to set when Fourth was led to the beach by his brothers.

The moment he saw the setup, he froze.

A beautiful, elegant dinner table was set up under a canopy of fairy lights, their soft glow reflecting against the waves. Candles flickered on the table, casting a warm, intimate glow, and a path of rose petals led straight to where Gemini stood, looking devastatingly handsome in his white dress shirt, sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

Fourth's heart skipped a beat.

His gaze flickered to his brothers, who only smirked before giving him a little push.

Go ! Mark whispered, his voice filled with affection.

Fourth took a hesitant step forward, his eyes never leaving Gemini's.

You did all this ? He asked softly as he reached the table.

Gemini smiled, his golden eyes shimmering. Of course. For you, I'd do anything.

Fourth felt his face heat up, but before he could respond, Gemini reached for his hand and gently pulled him closer.

Fourth. He murmured, his voice gentle yet firm.

And then—

Gemini slowly dropped to one knee.

Fourth's breath hitched.

The world around them disappeared.

Gemini pulled out a small velvet box, flipping it open to reveal a breathtaking platinum band, adorned with a single sapphire—a color that reminded Gemini of the ocean where they had first fallen in love.

Taking a deep breath, Gemini spoke:

For three years, you've been my happiness, my peace, my everything. From the moment I met you, I knew I wanted you by my side for life. You are the only one who makes my untamable soul calm. So, Fourth Nattawat Jirochtikul...

His voice softened, filled with so much love it almost overwhelmed Fourth.

Will you marry me ?

Silence.

And then—

Tears welled up in Fourth's eyes.

There was no hesitation, no doubt.

A bright, radiant smile broke across his face as he nodded furiously.

Yes. He breathed. Yes, a thousand times yes !

A deep, relieved chuckle escaped Gemini as he slid the ring onto Fourth's finger, admiring the way it looked perfectly in place.

Then, without another second to waste, he pulled Fourth into his arms, capturing his lips in a deep, breathtaking kiss.

Cheers and whistles erupted around them as Mark, Satang, Phuwin, and even Off and Gun watched from a distance.

But none of that mattered.

All that mattered was—

Fourth was his.

Forever.

As the waves crashed softly against the shore and the golden hues of the sunset bathed them in its warm embrace, Gemini held Fourth close, their foreheads gently pressed together as they breathed in each other's warmth. This was it. This was the moment Gemini had been waiting for—a future where Fourth was his, where he was Fourth's, where there was no uncertainty, no hesitation, just love.

The stars began to twinkle above them, and as Fourth giggled into his chest, playfully tracing the outline of his ring, Gemini knew—this wasn't just a happy ending.

It was the beginning of forever.
