The Wrong Alpha - A Twist Of Fate?
The Wrong Alpha – A Twist Of Fate? Epilogue 2

6 Months Later……

“What time is everyone coming?” I call to Knox.

We had been in our new home for a week now and I loved everything about it. It was near a small lake on pack lands, about a fifteen minute walk from the pack house, surrounded by trees and beautiful scenery, Indie and Dan’s house was a few minutes walk away, apparently Jake, Gabe and Manuel had plans to build here too so we’d have our own little village within pack! I loved it!

But today we were having a little get together for our friends here, a bit of a house warming I guess, a thank you for their help getting us moved in…..

“Should be here anytime sweet” I hear Knox bounding down the stairs, looking gorgeous as always in a pair of jeans and tight fitted shirt. The weather was slowly warming up after a cold winter, I couldn’t wait for the winter in our new house, it would be amazing in the snow…..

“Ah ok, can’t wait to see little Finn!” I say thinking of Indie and Dan’s new little baby, born a few days ago.

“Why? He only ever cries for me” Knox grins.

“Awww does Uncle Knox get sad that baby Finn doesn’t like him?” I tease. Knox runs to me and grabs me, wrapping his arms round my waist, lifting me up.

He begins to run toward the large black leather sofa in the lounge “you want the big bad Alpha to come get you again?” He teases.

I can’t help but giggle, this is a regular game between us……..

“Oh put the poor chica down Knox! Give her a break, I’m surprised she can walk!” I hear Gabe say as he walks into the house. I hadn’t even heard the door……though serves him right for just walking in……..

Knox laughs, I had to laugh too, our friends are used to this by now. Knox who strangely had been forever laughing at Dan for being over affectionate with Indie when they first met was just as over affectionate with me, not that I was complaining….. I know I had said I didn’t want a mate, but having him there now I realise how wrong I had been….. he is like a missing part of me……

“Hey Gabe” I say going to give him a hug.

“Hola beautiful chica” he embraces me and k****s me on the cheek “you decided to run away with me yet?” He grins at Knox as he says that, an ongoing joke with them apparently. I see Knox smiling.

Suddenly Jake and Manuel walk into the house, everyone clearly comfortable enough not to knock. All like one big family….

“Manny!” I rush to give him a big hug, he has become a good friend since I moved here, like a big brother really. Really protective over me which Knox has said he appreciates.

“Awww hey angel” he gives me a tight squeeze.

“Erh, am I not here?” Jake laughs. “Or just not as important as Manuel?”

“Aww I still love you J” I tell him, going to give him a hug too.

I see Knox smiling at the way his friends are with me now. I feel comfortable with them now, and they treat me like family and I love that. I feel like I belong when I’m with them all. Something I don’t think I ever really had before….

“I should think so Miss Lilah, remember it’s me that makes Knox keep buying you them toe- breaking boots” Jake winks at me as he k****s my head.

I laugh at Jake as I see Dan and Indie walking to the door, Dan carrying a tiny little bundle all swaddled in blankets.

I laugh at Jake as I see Dan and Indie walking to the door, Dan carrying a tiny little bundle all swaddled in blankets.

“Awww my gorgeous nephew is here!” I say.

“Now none of us will be important” Knox jokes as I head to see Finn.

We all head into the large lounge, with two large black leather sofas, and two cosy black leather recliners. Everyone sits themselves down.

“I am guessing Auntie Lilah wants a cuddle?” Dan says.

“Off baby Finn not you Dan” Gabe jokes.

“Piss off d**k” Dan says as he passes me Finn. Finn is gorgeous, a tiny little bundle of perfection, born with a head full of chocolate brown hair just like his Mum’s was naturally. And big deep green eyes like his Dad’s, and a tiny button nose. Though Gabe still jokes he wanted him to have the purple hair that Indie still has currently….

I see Indie smile at me fondly “he’s perfect isn’t he” I say to her.

“Hmmm not so much when he wakes about ten times a night” she grins.

“Ten times? What you giving him to drink coffee?!” Gabe says.

We laugh, this guy is clueless, goddess help him when he replaces his mate and has pups.

Knox brings a tray with drinks in for everyone. And puts it on the coffee table. He then sits on the arm of the recliner looking down at me affectionately. And he strokes Finn’s cheek.

“Have you heard how baby Landon is doing?” Indie asked. Landon was Anya and Logan’s baby, he was a few months old now and being brought up as planned by Alpha Grayson and Luna Talia.

“Aww he is doing well, so cute and such a happy little thing. I think he’s keeping Auntie and Uncle going too” I tell her. “Mama loves him too”

“oh I saw the pictures, he is a gorgeous little thing, does have a look of his Daddy though doesn’t he? He will be loved a lot there. It’s good he’s keeping them going, he will help them heal” Indie smiles “I’m not surprised your mama loves him, she loves Finn too, she regularly messages for updates!”

I have to laugh, why does that not surprise me? My Mum loves babies, so is no surprise she was obsessed with Finn considering how close she was with Indie. She was already on my case about grandbabies…..

“So you guys liking the new house?” Manuel asks.

“Love it!” Knox says looking at me with a smile “will be even better in a few weeks when weather is nice again and we can be out on the deck and garden, BBQs and beers, chill in the hot tub to relax”

Mmmm that does sound perfect…. My mate had done good in providing a perfect forever home for us…..

“Sounds good!” Jake says.

“Ooh hot tub!” Gabe says.

“Yeah and you ain’t going in it naked!” Knox says.

Everyone laughs, while Gabe pouts “I wasn’t even thinking that….though I bet you and Lilah do….” He wiggles his eyebrows at us suggestively.

I feel myself blushing as it is something Knox has already suggested.

“Well it’s our house” Knox says with a wink. I look at him in shock and embarrassment as the guys start to laugh.

“Knox!” I say, feeling my cheeks flushing.

“They are used to me by now sweet. And not one of them would do any different with their mate so they can’t comment” Knox says matter of factly and k****s me on my head. I see the guys grinning. Dicks……all as bad as each other I swear…..

“Oohhh presents!” Indie says standing up and heading to the kitchen. Gabe follows her.

“Ooh we have presents?!” I grin at Knox and he laughs.

“You are like a big kid you know that?” He smiles at me before kissing me gently on my lips.

He gently takes Finn from my arms, who instantly starts to whimper, which turns into louder wails as Knox quickly passes him to Dan.

“I swear that kid don’t like me.” He rolls his eyes.

I smile, “oh he does it to me too” Jake says, maybe it’s because we’re too big and strong” he grins at Knox with a wink.

We all laugh, while Dan is trying to settle Finn again.

“s**t that kid has one hell of a pair of lungs on him” Gabe says as he walks into the lounge again with some gift bags.

Indie follows him carrying what looks like a big canvas wrapped in bubble wrap and a small gift bag. “tell me about it! Even worse when you are sleep deprived at 3am!” She smiles.

She hands the canvas to Knox who begins to peel off the bubble wrap. It is a gorgeous painting of Knox and I…..with our wolves laid at our feet….. Wow! It is amazing!

I jump up to give Indie a big hug, but replace Knox has got there first.

“It’s gorgeous Ind’, it really is, thank you” he tells her. Giving her a big hug.

“It’s is amazing” Jake says behind us from the sofa, I hear the guys all agreeing.

I grab Indie in a big hug “I love it hun, it’s beautiful. Thank you!”

“You’re welcome” she smiled at me, then passes me the small gift bag “just a little joke pressie from me” she grins.

What?! I look into the bag and see a pregnancy test… i***t! I laugh and roll my eyes at her, and quickly go to tuck the bag down the side of chair before anyone sees it.

YOU NOT GOING TO DO IT?! AS A THANK YOU FOR YOUR PICTURE? Indie links.

SOD OFF, I’M NOT PREGNANT YOU i***t. I link smiling at her.

“Here are our presents, though all seem a little incomparable when you look at Indie’s” Gabe jokes.

“Hey that’s from me too”. Dan says.

“Oh is it? And how much painting did you actually do on the canvas Dan?” Knox says with a grin.

Everyone laughs, I love my friends….this feels so good….. how did I ever think I never belonged here?…..

“I gave my advice and opinions” Dan says.

Indie laughs “hmmm yeah, course you did babe. Like suggesting I paint a d**k on Knox’s head?”

All the guys are laughing so much they are almost crying. Dan clearly not ashamed of what he suggested…. But this doesn’t surprise me, this is just how they are with each other….. position in pack means nothing when they are together like this, this is just friends hanging out…. Best friends…..
