89. Epilogue part 3
RAYHAN
"Let me take pictures with my girl!" Raihana said, forcing me to move away from Delsanra who I had up against a tree.
I raised an eyebrow, but she didnt wait for permission, pulling my kitten away with her. She was in a m etallic gold dress herself, whilst Del looked fucking fine in a powder blue mini strapless dress with a dip ping neckline, the dress was like a fitted ribbed corset that was cut in a V showing off her thighs, with a bling border and dangly strings of silver gems around the entire hem of it. Gems that glitt ered and swayed with every move she made. Her hair was up in a messy, sexy bun, and even now, as she talked to Raihana, she was the epitome of temptation and beauty.
"I dont know if I should be jealous of
Delsanra or smug at the fact youre suffering with me." Chris remarked, coming over. He was wearing a black and gold shirt with white pants.
"Dont you get bored wearing what she tells you?" I mocked, ignoring his taunt.
He looked a little gutted.
"She said its my choice, and how she has Tatum and Heaven to match with now." He said making me smirk.
"You know she said that just to make sure you want to match, Raihana wont sacrifice her aesthetically perfect images but shes smart enough to put it back on you if you ever said you didnt want to by sayin
g she doesnt care." I remarked.
"Well, its not like your mate gets much say in her outfits, Ri always chooses hers too."
I nodded, looking at them as they pouted for the picture, arms wrapped around one
another.
"Well, Delsanras doesn't mind." I said running my hand through my own hair.
I was wearing a printed stone–coloured shirt, with my sleeves pushed up, half tucked into my cropped cream pants, which were paired with brown shoes, belt and beaded jewellery.
Ahren tied in with us, with his pants the same colour as mine and a blue shirt like Dels dress. Who am I kidding? I guess even she liked to coordinate us.
"One more," Raihana was saying, adjusting Delsanras hair. "Demon mode girl, come on, lets see that sexiness."
Fuck.
I watched her shift, her lips becoming plumped, her entire body turning ten fucking times hotter, if that was even possible, and feeling myself harden in my pants. I looked away.
She knew I couldnt resist her when she shifted...
I heard her laugh, and I knew it was because she knew the effect that she had 4 on me. I glanced back at her, my eyes meeting her red ones.
There was a time when I feared shed never recover from her trauma, and although there were still time s her demons returned to haunt her, she was doing better than I could have ever hoped for.
Not only was she a survivor, but she was helping so many others with their traumas as well. She travelled around to other packs, helping where she could, encouraging each pack to have a councilor. I think people forget that despite being werewolves, we were human too.
Battles, death, and trauma left lasting effects. Times were changing, and I was
happy to see the growth in our kind. – Seeing Delsanra welcomed into packs, sure there was still those who disliked witches even if they trie d to hide it, but still things were getting better. Like they say; Rome was not built overnight.
All things take time...
DELSANRA
"Oi photogenic boy, come here!" Raihana called to Dante, who raised an eyebrow.
"No thanks." He replied.
"Please?" I said, making him roll his eyes.
He may act like he didnt have a soft spot for me, but he still did.
It had been months since we had that conversation, and I was glad to see that the small crush he had o n me was fading away.
His words were still in my mind.
Its time I let you go, I know you are Rayhans mate and you always will be. I promised him that I will stop pursuing you anym ore. Lets be friends?.
He had been nine at the time, but he had acted so much older. Dante was older than his age in many w ays, yet his little crush on me had been one of the most innocent and childish things he had, he seemed to have matured even more since. 1
But we still had our bond, one that had become even stronger.
He sauntered over, shoving his hands into his pockets as he posed for the picture.
"Oh look... Im taller than you now." He smirked as I looked down at my heels.
Not missing how he smirked at Rayhan..
"Well, something tells me you will be taller than your dad, who is huge as it is."
Raihana said as Dante put his arms. around us, posing for the picture.
I could feel Rayhan watching us and, glancing over at him, flashed him a smile.
I guess him trying to annoy wont go away completely!
"Uncle, picture!" Raihana shouted, as Dante and I took the chance to sneak
away.
Rayhan had gone over to Ahren and was currently helping him unwrap a lollipop. I smiled as I ruffled A hrens hair, he ran off and I locked my arms around Rayhans neck.
"With those poses and this dress, I think you could put on one hell of a show tonight." He said, gripping my hips as his nose brushed mine.
My heart pounded as I stared up at him slightly coyly, despite the seductive smile on my lips.
"I think I can do that." I whispered, before our lips met in a sizzling kiss.
I had nothing and then he gave me everything. He moved the world for me. He was my king, my god, my destined alpha, one who would always be mine... 3

RAIHANA
I had just taken countless pictures of all the kids. Only the youngest four werent here, but I had got lots of pictures of them earlier. I looked up at the moon, slipping my phone into my purse. 1
It was almost time... another hour left until the beginning of a new year...
A strong pair of arms wrapped around me, and I smiled, leaning into Chris arms as he passed me a gla ss.
"So, any new years resolution?" He asked, sipping his wine.
""None at all, but I have a wish." I said,
looking up at my handsome mate.
"Yeah, what exactly would that be princess, considering you have the world at your feet?"
I smiled. "Of course I do, but the best part is; I have you. My wish is for everything to always remain like this. Peaceful, happy, and perfect."
"Aiy to that." He raised his drink before kissing my neck as he admired me. "And to love, to us and to lot s of sex."
I smirked.
"Oh absolutely," I replied, raising my own glass. We clinked them before taking a sip.
Life was perfect. Even if everyone we loved wasnt still here, they would never . be forgotten.
Chris kissed me and I let myself melt into
.
his touch, feeling the sparks storii through me welcomingly.
Wait! I needed to take a selfie of this moment!
MARIA
I smiled as Alejandro gave me a tight hug.
.. "I like your dress, Mama Mari." Kataleya
said, stroking the skirt of my dress.
I was wearing an Arabian kaftan today, it was a duck egg colour with gold patterns on it.
"Thank you, darling." I smiled at her." Nowhere near as beautiful as yours."
"Thank you! Mama chose it." She said, as Marcel chuckled.
"I think everyone looks amazing tonight. · "He added, crossing his arms.
"Yes, I agree." Kiara nodded before
staring up at the sky.
I turned my own gaze to the moon, my chest: squeezing, but I smiled gracefully, excusing myself.
Although the girls had helped me and I was now able to sleep at night... The pain, nothing they did could take away the pain, of Rafaels loss. No matter how much time passed.
I placed a hand on my chest, wondering if those who had passed were really looking down upon us?
I didnt want to lose hope as I stared at the moon.
I will always need you...
Your dove will always need you...
I closed my eyes, letting a wave of calinness wash over me, I opened my eyes · as a single tear trickle d down my cheek.
There were people you learned to live
without, but Rafael was someone we would never forget.
Not only me, but everyone.
He truly had been one of a kind...
ALEJANDRO
We had eaten, drank, and there wasnt long now until the new year now. The kids were getting impatie nt, asking every few minutes. I looked at my nympho. She looked fucking perfect in a silver blinged out dress with a sweetheart neckline. If Ri was the fucking sun tonight, Kiara was the moon.
"Like this?" She was asking Azura.
Azura nodded as she, Kiara and the twins danced.
"Kiaras got moves." Azura said as she did a back flip, spinning around and almost knocking into Marcel

"Easy there." He chuckled as she gave him an apologetic grin.
"Sorry Mr!" She said before running back over to Kiara, who clapped.
"That was one incredible backflip!"
"What can I say, Im Azura Westwood, queen of crazy." She said with a toss of her hair.
I smirked.
At least she fucking knew that.
With each passing year, I saw Indigo imore and more in her, but she was different. If Indigo had been a spark, Azura was an entire fucking firework.
Something told me she was going to be a – force to reckon with when she was older.
I tried not to stare at Kiaras thighs as she danced, but fuck that was a mission. No matter what she wa s wearing, I wanted to
fucking bend.her over and fuck here senseless.
Marcel came over and smiled slightly as I took a drag on my cigarette.
"She is going to be a strong one, her and your little one."
I knew he meant Skyla.
"Yeah, theyre fucking crazy.
He chuckled, nodding.
"Back then when I witnessed Ms Amelia perform the spell... I had a feeling it would cost her her life. I h ad seen enough magic to know that... but she did the right thing, we need more people with that much life in them in this world." He looked at Azura with a small smile on his face.
"Yeah, I fucking agree." I said, drinking my wine. "Has he called or said if hell be back soon?"
I didnt need to say a name for him to know who I meant. He sighed heavily and shook his head.
"Id be lucky to get a call every other month." He said gravely. "I feel as if Im. losing him, I told him to let his anger go and well, hes let it go to a point where its like Im talking to a wall. He just... I dont know."
I frowned, yeah Leo hadnt been taking my calls either for months now, but I didnt want to tell Marcel that.
"I havent talked to him in a while either...
The last time was when he had said he wondered if ex–rogues would be treated well in this school that I was building, saying he doubted anything I did would bridge the difference between the ranks. an d status of our kind.
The first school was almost completed,
and there would be a certain number of children from all packs who would attend. I wanted it to be fair a
Well, tonight is not a time to worry about him. Lets enjoy the evening. Its almost time." He said, glancin
I nodded as he walked off and Kiara came over to me.
"Everything ok?" She asked softly, placing her hand on my chest before kissing me softly.
"Yeah perfectly, we still got some time. Lets go for a walk." She nodded, and I took her hand. In the darkness, I was her guidance. 2.
The confidence in how she walked into the darkness, one would fucking think she could see, but it was
my darkness, but instead, she fucking walked into my life and lit it ablaze with
light. 7
She would always be my fucking light. She turned and smiled up at me as the music faded slightly. We walked slowly, hand in hand, further away.
"Im glad we came here this year, its a nice change." She said with a smile gracing her hot pink lips.
The same shade or very similar to what she had worn on that mating ball years ago...
I kissed her shoulder softly.
"Yeah, its nice not having to head the entire shit and be the fucking host." I remarked, making her laugh
"You are always perfectly hospitable, my love." She said amused, resting her head on my shoulder as sh
stars?"
I glanced up at the night sky, despite the clouds I could see the twinkling stars shine through
"Yeah, its not too cloudy tonight."
"Hmm, thats good, I'm sure it looks beautiful." She said, softly staring at the moon.
I smiled slightly. If I could, Id give my sight to her. She never let on or ever felt like she wished she could was always just grateful for everything
"Nowhere near as fucking beautiful as you." I replied quietly. "You aint missing out, they dont fucking hold anything to you."
She stopped and turned towards me, raising our entwined hands to her lips. and kissing my knuckles softly.
"I know Im not missing out, because I
have you." She whispered softly, looking up into my glowing eyes.

KIARA
He scoffed, smirking.
"Youre the light, Amore Mio, not me.".
"You are wrong, because the way I see you is no less. You are my light in every darkness. You are my s through my life. My support in the darkest of hours and my beacon of hope when all feels lost." I said so
"I wont fucking argue with you tonight, because as long as you alone think that, its enough for me." He replied softly, st emotions.
" I smiled. "Im not the only one, our
children adore you. All the children do, you are so good towards everyone."
"Thats your doing, I got soft and shit."..
I laughed as he buried his nose in my neck, inhaling deeply just as I heard someone shouting that it was
"Come on, lets head back." He said, slipping his hand around my waist and leading me back the way we had come.
"I have to admit you arent wrong there, but you have come so far. Been at the front of every battle, lead them hope." I said softly. noveldrama

Bonds, unity, trust and love were our strengths; it was these values and strengths that helped conquer all.

"Our legacies." I whispered softly as I reached up and cupped the back of his neck just as the countdow

But he only had eyes for me, his queen.
