Epliogue
A few Years Later
Emma
Standing on the balcony watching over my family brought me a sense of pride. I've come a long way to be at peace. To feel this happy. A smile took over my face as two dark haired little boys ran between the guests in the palace ballroom. The guests didn't mind, their play was welcomed but I knew their fathers would have a stern warning for them at the end of the night. I shook my head in amusement as the eldest Zac hid below the buffet table as his younger cousin, Jay only by a year was in search of him. They both were the same height, same black exotic curly hair and same naturally tanned skin they could pass for twins but the eldest Zac had the eyes of his mother Danielle. The only surviving white witch.
We are all awaiting Zac's transformation, even the elders don't know which side he will favor more the wolf side or the witch side, Jonah and Danielle didn't care as long as he was happy.
Jay took after his father Noah, quiet, very observant and always the voice of reason even at the age of 7. Natalia his mother was very good for Noah, her love is what he longed for since he was younger presently she was with their second child in which Noah was asking the goddess for a baby girl. I know she would grant him that wish.
I looked at the twin Deltas and smiled in contentment. They are happy. Thank goddess the ban was lifted for them. Both Noah and Jonah got rid of their long black hair but kept their beards, their mates were still the envy of all single she-wolves. They were still the most wanted twins of their time but they only had eyes for their mates. As the family grew, the castle got crowded so the twins moved out but not far they said they couldn't leave their family so a 5miles distance was good enough.
The loud laughter of Rebecca caught my attention, she was amidst her sister Anais and Micah's mate Eva. On her shoulder was Matthew Jr. her second child with her mate Matthew, I chuckled as he came to her taking his son and kissing her tenderly on the temple. He was still frightful of his mate's health even when the doctor and I assured him she would be fine. Before Matthew Jr. they lost a baby girl, stillborn, she bled out heavily but recovered from that scare. I miss them terribly but was happy they made it to this event. They also no longer live in the castle. They migrated back to England to take over Matthew's old pack after their Alpha died without an heir and the Beta and Delta refused to take the position.
"What are you doing up here my love?" The strong arms of my mate and the electrifying feeling that course through my body whenever he touches me it never grows old. I snuggled deeper into his arms taking in his scent.
"Looking at our family. We've come a long way" I said closing my eyes as he kissed my neck. A deep chuckle escaped his lips vibrating against my skin. "Yes, we have. We've been through a lot even our kids. We raised them well. Thank you for this, my sweet Emma. I'm glad you took me back" Michael said holding me tighter. The latest attack on our came as a shocker to us all but after putting together the information that was gathered, Michael enlightened us of what happened all those years ago. Alpha Angelo and other alphas in the area were ordered to carry out the execution to the dark witch and his family. They have been capturing young wolves and torturing them for their own uses while a few were killed under their holding. The elders made their judgment when the only members were caught, Randolph and his daughter escaped when the wolves ascended on their home with the help of a white witch. His need for revenge grew for years until he met his own death by the hands of Angelo. His knowledge of the family didn't help him at all, he underestimated them all.
We can all live freely now, I am currently happy in the role of grandmother now and it was the perfect role for me besides being the mate of one, Michael Saville.
Turning in his arms I met his blue eyes filled with so much love and happiness. His dark locks were now sprinkled with gray made him so distinguished, his eyes had crinkles from years of laughter due to his wife, his kids, and grandkids. His body was still muscular from daily runs with his sons.
Brushing away my hair from my cheek he placed a kiss there before moving to my lips. Just as we first met, our first kiss, it was the same. The same passionate electrifying kiss that made my toes curl and my wolf howl in delight, the love we had never failed us.
"I love you so much my beautiful queen," he said against my lips. "And I love you, my handsome king" I returned running my fingers through his hair. He growled in pleasure before lifting me into his arms causing me to laugh out loud. I knew where we were headed so I simply placed my arms around his neck and began to kiss his neck. I will never get tired of my Michael.
Angelo
"Now? Uncle Angie" I smirked looking down at the impatient crown prince. "No Cain. We have to wait on your sister" Angelo said ruffling his blond curls. He inherited the light brown eyes of his mother Rosalie but the physical features of his father. As the mention of her, the present king and queen's daughter came waltzing up to them flicking her dark brown hair over her shoulder. Cain glared at his twin sister Reign who simply shrugged her shoulders not caring she had them all waiting.
Yes. Twins.
The next set of wolf twins were born into the Royal household at the age of nine going on ten they already received their gift of telekinesis. The whole kingdom was overjoyed at their birth. When it's time for them to rule they both will decide between themselves who should take over for their parents' position.
"Reign" was all her cousin Mitchum said in which she quickly apologized. Mitchum was the oldest of them all by a year but have the respect of all royal siblings. Angelo watched the young hybrid with his curly reddish-blonde hair and brown eyes at ten he had girls falling for him already, we pray that he doesn't take after Micah. Sean, his sister's eldest child simply rolled his eyes at Reign with a playful smirk on his lips as he was amused at how quickly she bends to Mitchum's command.
The tugging of my pants gained my attention to the really quiet one of the bunch. Little Nikolai. Nikolai Starkov- Saville, the fourth, first grandson of High Alpha Nikolai of Russia. My pride and joy. His birth brought new alliances between American and Russian wolves, also a lot of media attention. The world grabbed onto the news of Amelia being Starkov's long lost daughter dubbing her the 'Russian Princess' due to her father's fame in the country. We traveled to Amelia's birthright and fell in love with the pack immediately. Though her home will be in New York, she made plans to spend at least a few months at the pack to learn of her family. Starkov was proud of her willingness to connect with his homeland. What made the man fall to his knees, was naming our first son after him. The name Nikolai has been given to the firstborn of each High Alpha. In return, he named our son his successor upon his death, an added title to the American wolf prince. A lot of responsibility was in his future but I know he will make it.
Crouching to his level, I looked at my son with the never-ending love a father can for his child. I will never forget the day he was placed in my arms, a new kind of love spread through me when those blue eyes were placed on me. Nikolai quietly looked at me and motioned towards the door of our room. His black hair was on his shoulders just like mine, his bright eyes held so much calmness and patience for a kid. Everyone said he was a mirror duplicate of myself in every way. I knew what he was saying and simply took him into my arms and opened the door.
Sitting in the middle of the bed, her long blonde hair falling past her shoulders was my beautiful mate Amelia. I didn't move from the entrance but allowed the kids to go meet the new addition to the family. Watching on, Nikolai and I took in the comments and gasps of wonder as the cousins welcomed the new baby.
"What is it?" Reign asked anxiously.
Amelia looked up to her husband and smiled broadly and answered. "A girl."
"Yes, finally another girl to this pack" Reign said excitedly. They all kissed their aunt then their new cousin, they played with her little hands and feet while Nikolai and I sat on a chair beside the bed allowing them time with the new princess. After 30 minutes of play, they left leaving the family alone.
Nikolai left my lap and went to his mother who held him close to her side kissing his head. "Are you ready my love?" Amelia asked our son. He nodded and held his little sister's hand. I easily moved and sat next to my mate kissing her head in pure adoration and appreciation, unconsciously Amelia leaned into me, making my heart beat faster with her need to be next to me. Both of us watched on as our little quiet prince looked at the baby girl, he passed his little fingers through the blonde sprinkles of hair on her head then gently placed his fingers on her eyes then her rosy cheeks. I smiled to myself as I saw the specks of green and gold in her eyes. Her grandmother's eyes. Nikolai stretched forth his hand to his right where he left his teddy bear along with a new one with a pink bow around its neck. Both bears came to him on command one resting on his lap the other beside his sister.
"Mina" the name escaped him softly so we barely heard it. He asked to name his little sister when we told him the news of becoming a big brother.
"Welcome to the family, Mina," Amelia said kissing her newborn daughter's head. I smiled at him, naming his sister after his great-great-grandmother. Nikolai's powers were kept a secret from the household. I saw him came into his power at four when I was putting him to bed, he wanted his teddy bear but couldn't wait on me. Thank heavens we were in New York away from everyone, I taught him how to use his telekinetic power and how to hide it. Amelia and I thought it was wise to do so not wanting to upstage the twins. If word gets out, the elders may push for him to be on the throne due to that development, like they did with me when word got out of my wolf's position amongst our kind. We wanted him to be as normal as possible and without jealousy following him around while he plays with his cousins.
Nikolai played with Mina till he fell asleep, after feeding the little one she fell asleep also. Taking my little girl from her mother's arms, I placed her in her bassinet while Amelia tucked Nikolai in. Easily, I gathered my wife out of the bed and went to the balcony with her, sitting on one of the chairs.
We remained in comfortable silence, her head on my shoulder as my hand wandered over her body. I came across the scar from all those years ago. My body tensed remembering how she got that scar, holding her tighter, I kissed her neck, cheeks then lips. That night was one of the worst nights of my life. I can still feel her warm blood flowing over my hand after my mistake. I still feel guilty of allowing the witch to trick me so easily. I could have lost her and it would have been my fault.
"I'm here. Told you I wouldn't leave" she said holding my gaze.
I know she can remember waking up 3 days later in the castle with me lying next to her holding her hand. I never left her side as she was told, I didn't even let anyone touch her when they had to change her clothes and give her a sponge bath.
"I wouldn't allow you to leave me. You are needed in my life so much" I said wrapping her curls around my hand bringing her in for a kiss. It was meant to be innocent but she was intoxicating I wanted more of her.
"I love you," she said against my lips.
Looking up at my wife, my mate, my best friend and I thank the goddess for this second chance. I now had a wonderful family a very lucrative business in New York, Washington, California, and Russia. Two children I adore and a family who is always by my side.
The business in Russia was added to Amelia's father already famous industries, as a proud grandfather, he always requests for his first grandson to come to Russia for the summer, we couldn't deny the old man that. Glancing in the room I saw my son's bear floating around him then it fell beside him, laughing softly I know he was playing in his sleep. Turning back to my Amelia, I smiled at her, caressing her cheek loving how perfect it all was for us. "And I love you and our two kids with all of my heart."
I know this isn't the end, with each new royal blood-born the stronger they all will become and with that new enemies but as usual, they all would make it. After all, they all learned from the strongest white she-wolf who was strong enough to stay by her mate's side and protect her people at the age of seventeen. My mother showed me so much but I am forevermore grateful to her and my father for showing me how to love. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't know how to love again after Elise. Now I have a love I will die to protect. My princesses Amelia and Mina and my little quiet prince, Little Nikolai. They will need me to pass on the teaching my parents used in my upbringing because something is brewing on the horizon and it is within these walls of my home. I see it but I refuse to acknowledge it, I fear my children will be caught in something that may destroy our family for good or strengthen them.
Lykos and I are waiting, we will protect our pups at all costs.
THE END.
