" Thank you for everything you have done for me and for my father. Also thank you for letting me bring him with me to the palace." The moment the emperor and Magnus entered his majesty's room after seeing the surprise, Magnus quickly pulled the emperor in a tight hug to thank him for this amazing surprise even though he was still a bit traumatized from this experience.
Octavius hummed with a happy grin on his face while tightening his arms around his mate's waist and resting his head on his buffed chest whispering "I would not have let my mate live without the only family he has."
What the emperor said seemed to upset Magnus who slowly pulled away from the hug just so that he can cup Octavius' face in his hands to softly caress his cheeks "My father is not my only family. You are my family too, Octavius."
