Chapter 66
Adira and Duncan went on to have six pups in all, five boys and then one little girl that was the apple in her daddy’s eye. Her name was Jaqueline. They called her Jack for short.
There were hard times and good times. Happy and sad. Through it all, they stayed strong and true as their pack grew. They still fought for those who couldn't fight for themselves.
The King and Lily had three pups, two princes, and a princess. They didn't give them over to nannies or tutors. They raised them themselves; their sons grew to be strong and stable leaders. Their little princess also developed to be strong and extremely smart. They, too, faced hard and good times.
Ashton and Marnie lived within Duncan's pack; they became great warriors and raised three sons. Two of which were werewolves, and the youngest was all Lion. They were a rowdy bunch, responsible and loving.
Marco was offered a pack of his own, but he rejected the offer. He was content where he was; he liked his place in the group. He also found his mate. They would have two sets of twins, boys and girls.
All of the children were raised together in the pack, including those adopted. They were a handful, but everyone pitched in to help out. They all grew into responsible, intelligent, and happy adults.
With the help of all the other species involved, they started an organization for the exploited and abused. It included every one of every species, from the youngest to the oldest.
Giving them help on all issues, medical, mental, and physical, and no more taking a child out of a wrong place and putting them into a worse one. They also established several halfway houses to transport victims out of situations as quickly and safely as possible.
The organization built extra living quarters for the older abuse victims and the children, pups, cubs, etc. If they couldn't find their real homes, they were taken to one of the Packs, Clans, or Pride and treated like their own.
Besides what the King and Lily already started, they also expanded the watch organization, made up of warriors from other packs and royal guards.
They will be working in the shadows to hunt down the ones who do the buying and selling. As well as the corrupted politicians or higher ranking royal party members.
There will be no buying their way out or going easy on them. They will be exposed for all to see their crimes and punished publicly.

As for the Mr. and Mrs. Mathews, they tried to escape, killing a little old lady for her car. They were executed upon recapture.
Archer is still looking for his mate; he has hope still but has put all his efforts into improving his pride. He was making their pride the best one amongst all of them. He was a fair and just ruler. He had adopted two of the cubs that the scientist victimized.
He had a son and a daughter, and though both were permanently injured from their ordeal, Archer made sure that their handicaps did not define them. That they had all they needed to succeed in their lives.
August would go on to improve their pride as well. August had also found his lady love, as he calls her; they have two cubs, both girls. One is a girly girl through and through. The other is a tomboy who is always curious about everything. Both of them loved their auntie Marnie and uncle Ashy.
They would spend their summers with them at the pack, where they all bonded as a family.

That leaves us with Mr. Jack Dawson, a Grizzly Bear shifter. I can not tell you more about Jack; you will have to get to know him more in the following story...."Just a Girl Alone.”
He walks about, only to find his Mate and trouble too. You will also learn the dynamics of the Bear Clan and all the things in between; that is for another time and place, though.
