Chapter Thirty Four

*Emily's POV*

Our life is beautiful. We have had a blissful 18 years. 18 years and 4 kids later. We have had our ups and downs and major plot twists but, in the end, we have had each other. Braxton is my mate and without him I would not be where I am today. The twins have grown and moved out, with Logan already finding his mate and ready to take over as Alpha. Leah has decided to pause on searching for her mate and go to college. Leah had no interest in taking over as Luna, claiming it was too much work, so when Logan found his mate before she did, she was happy to let them take over the pack. Laura is our wild child. She still has not found her mate and has pursued college life just like her big sister. Although, she is our party child. She is always calling for rides home and calling for money to go shopping with her friends. Our youngest, Tyler just turned 18 a couple months ago. He decided to travel and do some searching. He has never felt like a pack member since he is not biologically Braxton's. Not being able to shift was traumatic for him and he always felt like an outsider. He has been gone for a few weeks now and calls to check in every few days.

Braxton and I are missing having little feet in the house and since we are frozen in time now, we are debating on having more pups. With the ceremony to shift power over to Logan and his mate only a couple days away we would have more time with our pups and with each other. We always wanted more pups but after having our hands full always trying to make Tyler feel accepted, we decided to hold off. We have come full circle in our life, and I am proud of where we are now.

*Tyler's POV*

Being out of the pack and on my own for a while has showed me how living like a normal human is like. It is weird in a way. I can feel wolf urges in my since I am half wolf but cannot act on anything. My parents do not know of any hybrids like me considering everyone finds a mate and has pups. I have been curious on if I will feel the same pull with someone like a normal mate bond. I have hope that I will, since I have heard that it is incomparable to anything else. If I have the mate bond pull, there was no one in the pack I am bonded to. I know very little about my biological father. My parents tell me that is for the best. I know his name and I know he was a vampire when he died.

I have never felt like a part of the pack. I cannot shift, I will not stop aging like the rest of my family, and I do not have healing abilities. I watched my siblings shift for the first time and was always in a trance watching them. They seemed so graceful as they ran through the forest and their howls were beautiful. I get along well with my parents, and my sisters but my brother and I do not get along much at all. We have nothing in common and he has always seen me as weak because I am only part wolf. With him getting closer to taking over the pack I decided to leave and go do some soul searching.

Setting out on my own for a while is not just to find where I fit in but to also find out about my past. I want to know more about my father and see if I can find other wolf hybrids like me. I am planning to start my search where I was born. I was able to learn that from my mother. I know I can search for rouges around the forests to gain information. I have heard from my grandfather they are informative and pack wolves use them sometimes to get information about people and other wolves. I hear the loudspeaker call my gate number and I grab my bag and head to my plane. My adventure begins and I am ready to see what else my life has in store.
