Chapter 97

sea that we hard at our disposal. Ignatius seemed to be thinking the same thing, and he was determined to rectify that immediately.

We moved as one, pale bodies on the even paler sand, occasionally washed with seafoam and cool water. The wind swept my sensual cries away into the dark night sky that was flecked with thousands of stars.

-Epilogue-

Three years have gone by in the blink of an eye. Ignatius and I welcomed a third child into the world, a small blue-eyed boy named Dorien. He has the same dark brown sh aggy hair as his grandfather and his own father’s deep blue eyes.

He came into the world in the spring of that year, screaming his arrival for all the world to hear. The twins had been ecstatic to meet their new baby brother and they crowded the bed to catch a peek when they had finally been allowed hack into the

I had gotten the home birth that I wanted after all. Dorien had chosen the most unexpected of times to make his appearance. and there was no rush to reach the clinic diat time around, only Angie and Fac, and of course, Ignatius who was a little less pale and woozy the second time.

Angie and Fae had been married not long before Dorien’s birth. It had been a grandiose wedding out in the forest and the satin ribbons in orange and pink had entertained the twins for hours as they insisted on pulling at every single one that hung from the branches of the trees.

By the time Ignatius finally noticed their antics, they had succeeded in tying up a sleeping Plato, who had dozed during the after-party, to the chair he had been sitting on.

He was more than a little confused to awake and replace that his movements were restricted by bright pink ribbons and he was only rescued by the secretary he had eventually ended up dating, but only after we had all enjoyed a good laugh first. Angie complimented Ellias on his impeccable knot skills which she claimed to have taught him herself.

Aside from the terrible two, as we had all come to refer to the twins by, it had been a magical sight and Angie and Fae seemed happier than ever. Neither of them had a best man nor woman but instead chose for the newest younger bro Gideon’s family to represent their missing sibling. It had been a tear-jerking moment and we all missed the unruly! shifter deeply.

As promised, Rita returned on Dorien’s hundredth day. She looked just the same as ever, only there was something ligh about her. In her travels, she had seemed to shed some of the baggage of her past that had weighed her down for years.

With her came two shifters who donned the same bright red hair that I did. As it turned out, the healer’s bloodline was far from dead and there was a large family across the sea that was eager to meet me.

The two shifters told me that the family had split apart years ago and they had no idea where my half of the family had disappeared to. They were ecstatic to replace more people like themselves and even more excited to meet the twins as well as Dorien who could only smile and babble and wave his tiny fists in the air.

They had not yet discovered a way to break the curse completely. But they had found a way to prolong their own lives. They were happy to share that information with me. The possibility of a longer life with my family ignited new hope in me

We would never stop searching for answers. Now that we knew it was possible, we would never stop searching for a way to end the generational curse before our children would bear the weight of it as well. It wouldn’t be easy and it would take a long time, but we had a headstart and a family across the sea to Belp us along.

Looking over at my growing family. I had never been happier. I had gotten everything that I wanted, everything that I didn’t know I had needed. I had a loving mate, the Alpha of a pack that was slowly mending their reputation and giving back to the people they had wronged in the past.

I had three gorgeous children who had seemed to have made it their life’s goal to be as much of a handful as possible, but I loved them for it all the more. I had friends that I cared deeply for, friends I had run into battle with all those years ago.

The scars of our past would forever haunt us. While my nightmares were over, Ignatius was yet to accept the grim fate of his own previous family. But he was trying his best and I was there to help him every step of the way.

Johan and his death would forever remain an ache in our hearts, one that would never truly go away. But we had accepted that a long time ago and every day it got a little bit easier to bear,

It wasn’t a perfect life that I had led, far from it in fact, but I wouldn’t have changed a thing, I stood fast in my decisions that led me to this moment, looking down over my small family in the blooming garden surrounded by the people that I loved It was worth all of it.

Even with all of the ups and downs, heartaches, and pain that come alongside this thing called living, I would be lying if I said that I didn’t crave it all.

I’ve had quite a beautiful life after all.
