The Wrong Alpha - A Twist Of Fate?
The Wrong Alpha – A Twist Of Fate? Epilogue 1

3 Months Later……

Wow, having Lilah as my mate was turning out to be amazing….. my parents thought she was the best, she was spending time regularly with my Mum now. Indie and Lilah trying (and failing) to teach her to paint. Yet the three of them were having lots of fun and laughs together. Often going out for coffee dates, or catch ups.

My sisters loved her too, instantly took her in like an extra sister which she loved as she grew up with no siblings, they all thought she was wonderful and well they weren’t wrong, she was perfect…

……living with her was heaven, waking up to her each day couldn’t be more amazing… we stayed in the Alpha suite for now, but had already started work on building our house down by the lake just away from the pack house. Dan and Indie also building their house on a plot nearby.

I wanted to settle with my Lilah as soon as possible, have our own home, somewhere we could call ours. It was expected to be a two storey, four bedroom, three bathroom ski chalet style lodge house, with a large balcony off the main bedroom, a massive kitchen, dining room, huge lounge which we were going to need for our friends to be round all the time, a painting room for Lilah and no doubt Indie too, and a games room too. Plus a deck with seating area, bbq and a hot tub. I’d gone all out on this house but it was our forever home and I wanted it to be perfect for her….

To be honest I couldn’t wait to start filling those extra bedrooms with our own little pups too, because I know my mate will bless me with some gorgeous babies too if they look like their mama.

But for the mean time I was happy having plenty of fun practicing making them! Much like we just had been….

“Knox!!” I hear Lilah scream from the bathroom. I am up and out of bed quicker than the speed of light thinking she was hurt….

“What’s wrong?” I rush through the door, still completely naked having been in bed with her just moments ago having some fun and had planned to go surprise her and join her in the shower…

I replace her stood on the edge of the toilet seat, screaming, have I missed something? “there’s a spider Knox!! Help!!”

I can’t help but start laughing, how can a strong she-wolf be scared of a spider?!

I look to her with raised eyebrows and continue to laugh. “Knox please!” She begs.

“Oh you big wuss, where is it?” I ask with a grin, grabbing some paper to catch it.

“Next to the sink” she points.

I can’t help but smile, I love this girl, she is crazy and soft, scared of a tiny spider…. I go to the sink and lean down to look for the spider to pick it up…. s**t! It’s not that small actually! Hmm, I quickly grab it on the paper and take it to put out the window, praying it doesn’t move onto me…

I look to Lilah, she is edging her way out of the bathroom to get away from the spider, looking terrified…. I deal with the spider, then go to her and grab her from behind….

“It’s a good job your big bad wolf was here to save you eh?” I grin. “How can you be scared of a spider sweet?”

“It was massive!!” She sticks her tongue out at me. I laugh again.

“She was quite big. Came to borrow your boots I think, legs were definitely big enough ” I joke.

Lilah laughs at me, “you’re crazy. See even you were scared. Is it safe for me to go for a shower now?”

I nod “I’ll join you, we’re meant to be meeting the guys soon for going to the Lake, I don’t think they’ll appreciate us being late again because I pulled you back to bed” I grin.

That was turning into a regular reason we were late, much like Indie and Dan. I’m sure the guys would understand when they found their mates.

We quickly showered, I had to really restrain myself and not let my hands wander too much while in the shower with her or else we’d be delayed even further and my friends would seriously be cursing us….. how had I ever managed to get through life without this girl by my side? She completed me in a way I didn’t know was possible and I couldn’t get enough of her, loved spending every moment I could with her and I thank my lucky stars she was mine. The fact my friends and family love her too made it even more amazing, the pack were getting to know her and they were seeing how truly wonderful she was and I was hearing nothing but praise for her, I knew she was going to be the best Luna for our pack, even if she didn’t believe it.

I watched her walk across the bedroom now fully dressed now in jeans and a blue low cut style long sleeve top which meant I got to see plenty of cleavage so I was happy. Chunky black boots on her feet. Her long blond hair loose in waves down her back. Mmmmm my mate was beautiful……..

“You all sorted?” I ask.

“Yeah, let’s go have some fun” she loops her arm through mine, smiling up at me. She has really relaxed with me over these last few weeks, still a little unconfident at times, but but so much more relaxed and we just click, but being mates that’s what is meant to happen.

“And there was me thinking we’d already had fun” I teased her.

She giggles. Mmmmm I love that sound.

We walk down to the lounge in the pack house where we told our friends we would meet them, Lilah still has her arm hooked through mine as we walk through the corridor, but it feels so right to have her there with me…. Like I said I don’t know how I got through my life without her there now…

“Oh finally!! Don’t need to ask what you been doing do we?! Just tell him no chica!!” I hear Gabe speak up as we walk through the door of the lounge.

All our friends start to laugh.

Lilah’s face flushes and she turns her face into my arm “I swear Knox I’m going to get you! every time we’re late they know!!” She hisses…. I can’t help but laugh.

I lean down so my mouth is close to her ear “you weren’t complaining earlier, nor any other time. Besides they are only teasing…” I look to our friends and grin “give over, you’re making my mate feel uncomfortable. We were running a little late is all….and I bet Dan and Indie only just beat us here!”

Dan grins at me and nods. Indie hides her face in her mates shoulder.

Ah these girls……so alike….. and both sent to join our pack….. seems fate decided we needed these two best friends here with us and to be honest I think fate had done a good job…..

“Right let’s go have some fun! Don’t even want to think about why you lot were delayed” Jake smiled as he stood up.

We were off out for a bbq at the lake before the weather shifted for the winter, it wouldn’t be warm enough to swim but we planned to have a little bonfire and grills going and some drinks, I have to say I am looking forward to it.

Life has been pretty hectic of late getting things settled here at pack, getting our new house builds organised, getting Lilah settled, plus we had so many business deals close to completion which Lilah had been amazing in helping with.

Plus we had lots to help with over at River Ash Pack dealing with the aftermath of the death of Logan. Things were slowly settling down now and returning to a more steady pace. Hence our trip out to enjoy ourselves.

We headed out of the door where two cars awaited us. I look to Lilah who is deep in conversation with Manuel, I feel Knight growl, he is ever so possessive of Lilah, and I know there is no threat from Manuel but Knight dislikes him near his mate. But I know he thinks the world of Lilah. Nearly losing her when she was on the balcony terrified him, and then when Logan went to forcibly mark her had made him almost as protective over her as I was. I watch him grin at her with a look full of affection as she ruffles his hair… I was glad she had another good friend here in pack and I knew that’s all it was.

We separated off into the two cars. Jake, Gabe and Manuel in the first. Me and Lilah, and Dan and Indie in the second.

Then we set off for the Lake, ready to enjoy our day together…..

The bonfire was set up after many failed attempts….thanks to Jake and Manuel. It would appear Gabe was not as clever as he thought much to Lilah and Indie’s amusement.

“That’s it chica’s I’m coming for you, your big bad wolves can’t save you now” he laughs as he chases them along the lake edge. We sit and watch them, laughing while Manuel has taken over dealing with the bonfire as well as the grills.

“Indie be careful” Dan says. We all look to him, puzzled. That is out of character for him.

“Oh” Indie sheepishly comes to sit by Dan again.

Did he not like her messing around with the other guys? I know Knight gets jealous when Lilah is round the other guys but I do my best to ignore that and push him back, as I know they are her friends and wouldn’t do anything. Is it him being possessive? Gabe always messes round with the girls like that. Jake and Manuel do too at times. They just see it as being part of our friend group…. Surely he isn’t seeing it differently?…..

I hear Lilah scream and I look across as I see Gabe has her flung over his shoulder, I’m guessing he caught her. As if on demand I feel Knight growl… I ignore it as I see Lilah laughing as she kicks her legs. I smile as Gabe comes and drops her on my lap.

WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?! IS DAN ANGRY AT ME FOR MESSING WITH INDIE AND LILAH?! Gabe links.

WHO KNOWS. I send back.

“Knox, what’s up with Dan?” I feel Lilah whisper in my ear. She has a habit of this, despite the fact she can mindlink me now, though the sensation of the heat on my ear from her whispering feels pretty good so I won’t complain….

I DON’T KNOW SWEET…. WAS TRYING TO WORK THAT OUT… WONDERING IF IT WAS BECAUSE GABE WAS MESSING ROUND WITH YOU AND INDIE BUT HE ALWAYS DOES THAT. I link her .

I look to Dan and Indie and see they are looking at one another, eyes glazed….. they are obviously linking each other….. something is wrong….

Jake and Manuel were busy sorting the grills now the bonfire was lit. I hold Lilah close to me. “We’ll see if they say anything”. I say to her.

We don’t have to wait long…….Dan stood up looking flustered “guys, we need to talk to you….” He says.

Oh, is something wrong? Are they not happy? No they are, we know they are…..

All of us are looking at them, Jake and Manuel walk over from the grills too. Dan pulls Indie up from her seat. She seems to be avoiding eye contact with us…..

“Please don’t be telling people as we haven’t told anyone yet but…. We have a little one on the way” Dan smiles as he placed his hand on Indie’s belly.

Oh wow! I wasn’t expecting him to say that!

“Awww guys! Congrats!” Jake is the first to speak.

Lilah jumps up to give Indie a gentle hug. I stand to give my friend a hug too. Suddenly there is a mass group cuddle with Indie and Dan somewhere in the middle.

“Awww a little purple haired pup running round!” Gabe says grinning.

We all laugh. That would be a sight…..

“Congrats though chica! I won’t have hurt the little one will I?” Gabe asks Indie.

“No you big wuss, lil one will know his Uncle Gabe is playing around as usual” Indie grins.

“Awww Uncle Gabe?” he holds a hand over his heart.

“Yeah, you will all be Uncle’s won’t you? And Lilah an Auntie?” Dan says looking at us.

I smile, and look round my friends seeing the same happiness on their faces….. happiness for their friends and their new pup…… happiness at being asked to be Uncle to this little pup…..we’d been friends so long but being asked that meant a lot……..

“Sounds perfect dude.” I tell him. Then a realisation hits me “s**t, this means we’re growing up though right? The first pup of our next generation…..”

I hear my friends and my mate chuckle, wow……. Things are changing…….
