A Gold Alpha For A Silver Alpha
Epilogue

Rae

POV

-I want to hear them count!

Logan's voice yelling at the puppies in training makes me smile, a bit of a sadistic smile if I'm honest, but hey, I can't be blamed for anything, in the end, I'm still the same person I always was.

Maybe now I had a mate who drove me crazy, with his jealousy and looks, his words that sweetened my ears or his kisses that paralysed me. But that didn't change who I was in essence, an Alpha, a warrior, a survivor.

It had been a year since that day when I had entered the grounds of Golden Moon at the request of our deity and put them through a series of tests to show them worthy of being a pack. A year since I had found my second mate. My love. My whole life. The father of my children.

As if summoned by my thoughts, Jason appears at the edge of the training ring with the twins in his arms. Without thinking I gave the mental command to my reestablished Beta to continue training without me, and my feet carried me to my family's side. -Hello love.

My mate greeted me with a light kiss on my lips.

-Hi honey, what brings you here?

I asked him intrigued, it wasn't often that he interrupted my "+*****e" sessions as he and Noel used to call them.

-The children were very restless and I couldn't calm them down, so between the three of us we decided to surprise you, did you like it?

I offered him a smile full of affection while I took one of the little ones in my arms.

-I loved it.

Jason smiled back and kissed me again, more insistently this time, we separated until the babies in our arms moaned, obviously irritated to be in the middle of their parents' displays of affection.

-A hundred more push-ups, and thank the puppy who thinks gawking at his Alphas instead of finishing his exercises is a good idea!

We both turned our heads at Logan's scolding and watched in amusement as one of the boys blushed completely at the withering looks from his teammates, many others grumbled under their breath but not daring to do anything for fear of increasing the number of push-ups.

-Don't you think you're too hard on them?

Jason said in an amused but concerned voice, I stepped back a little as I rocked the baby in my arms and looked at him with an arched eyebrow.

-Do you want to join them in the next training and try your luck, the warriors of Silver Moon have always been exceptional, just because this generation is the first one in which you also participate doesn't mean that we should lower our performance. -No no no no, thank you very much, this way I'm perfectly fine, I know that you and Logan are very capable of leading this part of the pack, I have full confidence in your capabilities. He answered quickly, getting a laugh out of me.

When we had announced ourselves as mates shortly after the battle against Maurice we gave the news that we would unite the two packs, and we let people choose whether they wanted to stay by our side in this new stage or they could leave. Proud of both packs I can say that we did not lose any members. Both were very happy and adapted with some difficulty.

At first it was very difficult to replace a routine, the Silver Moon members looked to me for directions and the Golden Moon members looked to Jason. Being two Alphas with very strong attitudes, we decided that the healthiest way was to divide the tasks. I was not going to delegate my responsibilities and become a sweet Luna. No sir, I was one of the strongest Alphas in the world and I never missed a chance to remind everyone of that, especially the male I had as a partner. -How about we go for a walk around the lake?

I say with a smile to the male next to me, he gives me a quick affirmation and we both give the necessary orders to be able to have the rest of the afternoon free. So our little family headed to the place where Jason saw me helpless for the first time, that beautiful lake that had witnessed a dark time between us was now one of our favourite spots to share intimacy.

When we got there my little puppy started crying in his father's arms, causing the little one in mine to whimper too, in one swift move we swapped twins so I could calm him down.

Looking at his sweet little face makes a maternal instinct awaken in me and a love as great as I have ever known is born in my breast, and I know without hesitation that there would be nothing I would not be willing to do for my puppies.

-You're so good with them, I don't know how you do it, the pack, the kids, me, you're amazing my love.

The heat rises in my face at Jason's words, it's amazing the effect he has on me even after all this time.

-I couldn't do it if I didn't have you by my side.

I reply sincerely, Jason smiles at me, and his smile reaches stratospheric levels as our babies catch our attention with their whimpers, a spark of sadness flashes in his eyes and he doesn't have to tell me anything to know what's going through his mind. Well I know it's about her missing son, even after our best efforts we haven't been able to replace the Blacks, not even a clue as to the whereabouts of her ex-lover and her son.

I know that every time he sees the twins he wonders about that missing puppy, hell, even I wondered about him from time to time, would he still be alive, would it have been a boy or a girl, how would they be treating him?

He would never admit to me the frustration he has with himself for not protecting them, and that in his heart he loves that unknown baby. Yet he is always there for me with a smile, and he loves our babies with unwavering pride.

We were all surprised that they were on the way, as I had only been Jason's partner officially for two months when we found out the news. And when twins were born it was simply wonderful. As if Selene herself had compensated Jason for the loss of one child by giving him two.

My little Alphas, Jackson and Julian. The lights in our eyes, they were without a doubt, the adoration of all.

Both had inherited their father's bright golden hair, Jackson had my mate's amber eyes and was his little replica, while my beautiful Julian had my silver eyes and was much calmer than his big brother. Jackson was born a few minutes earlier, making him the first born and heir to the pack. But I had no doubt that my Julian would also occupy an important position. My cubs were made for greatness, and no one could doubt that.

They were barely a month old, but they were incredibly alert, and showed a deep interest in the world around them. Jason and I had doubts about the colour of their blood, but we never dared to hurt their smooth skin to replace out, so we just waited until they were old enough to know. I was sure it would be red like their father's, while my mate said it would be silver like mine.

I secretly wished they had red blood out of a selfish desire, our blood had always made us special, and it was something we were proud of, yet it had also made us freaks in the eyes of many packs, to the point of being considered rouges just for being different. I didn't want that for any of my babies, so I hoped that they would inherit Jason's genes instead of mine, never mind that they wouldn't enjoy the same benefits that Silver Moon's pups had.

-A kiss in exchange for your thoughts.

Jason whispered as he kissed my cheek.

-I was just thinking of our children, and the amazing family we have. I tell him in a calm voice.

He nods in agreement.

-Yes, you're right, there's just one problem I'm not too happy about. I looked at him with a horrified expression.

-What are you talking about, what happened, Jason damn it, why didn't you tell me about it?

I say very agitated and about to return to the herd to solve the problem, my mate laughs at my nerves and with his free arm around my waist to pull me to his side. His teeth bite down and tug at my earlobe as I let out a little cry of shock. -Relax, beautiful, my only problem is that in my eyes our family is too small, wouldn't it be great to give the twins a little sister to look after and protect?

He murmured seductively as he placed chaste kisses on my neck.

-Jason, I've just had the babies, I'd like to have a few more months of my figure before I consider having another, plus the twins are still too young to think about it.

I say with a hoarse voice trying to gather my thoughts, by the gods, with this male close to my body I'm not able to think clearly.

-Well in that case we can go practice, for when you're ready, don't you think?

A laugh escaped my lips.

-I knew you didn't have very innocent intentions when you interrupted my training session.

-I am offended by your words Alpha, I am just a poor male trapped by the beauty of his partner, I can't be blamed for anything when I have a woman like you by my side, you tempt me too much my love".

I shut him up by kissing him deeply, I separate moments later and start walking back to the mansion, I throw him a flirtatious smile.

-If you convince my Delta or your Beta to watch the puppies maybe we can spend some quality time alone.

I say in a syrupy tone, and it doesn't take Jason long to pull Julian from my arms and run off in search of one of the aforementioned, and I follow him, laughing at his desperation.

Much calmer than him, I hurriedly make my way to the mansion, stopping briefly on the way to check that everything is in order.

Jason stands in the doorway without the babies, probably having left them with Dannia. He doesn't let me take a single step into our home before he eagerly scoops me into his arms and hurries us into the bedroom. I can't help myself and laugh harder. Jason lays me down on the bed and kisses me, all laughter ceasing.

-I love you Rae.

He says with intensity.

-I love you too Jason.

I say into his lips before we are overcome with passion. And forget about the whole world for a few minutes.

I was grateful to all the gods to have him by my side. And there was no force on this Earth capable of separating me from his side.

I would burn the whole world for them.

And as Jason rushed to take off our clothes I knew that we both gave what we had never dared to do for each other.

I nearly died for him, and Jason dared to live again for me.

We were two halves that complemented each other perfectly.

And I loved that.

I could never finish saying how grateful I was to him that he would get drunk and defy our Goddess, for that had set in motion all the events we lived through to end up at this point.

After almost a thousand years of existence, I finally felt part of a whole, and I owed it all to my beloved Golden Alpha and his Golden pack.

They unknowingly conquered every part of my being and existence.

I belonged to all of them as they belonged to me.

I would destroy the enemies that threatened our peace, for we had a long way to go.

A beautiful future that was growing brighter and brighter.
