Chapter: 66. Together (Epilogue Zared)Zared pov In my wildest dreams I hadn’t imagined how much and how hard work it would be to be Alpha King and father. Dysnomia demanded I also played a very active part in raising Derora and Arathorn. I was clueless how to be a ‘good father’. I only saw my father at dinner and then I was supposed to be quiet. Only when I turned 15 and my wolf was less than a year away did he start spending time with me. Grooming me to be his perfect successor. His lessons in fighting were brutal. He didn’t hold in his punches because if I found myself in a situation the opponent wouldn’t hold back either. I learned to duck and evade first. Once I had Gunther I gained strength. When I learned I could trust on Gunther's speed and experience I started throwing punches at him. So when Dysnomia handed me a very stinky Derora with an overflowing poop diaper with the words “I already had two of these today, this one is yours,” I was beyond clueless. “Goddess please help me with strength and wisdom. It’s

Chapter: 65. Never had I ever (Epilogue Dysnomia)Dysnomia “Neptunes nipples,” I mutter to myself. I really want to finish this blanket before Derora gives birth. But the light is too dim for my poor eyesight. “Getting older is a curse. I can’t crochet for hours, my back hurts and my fingers are more crooked than the twigs of a serpentine hazel.” “Talking to yourself again?” Zared rhetorically asks as he enters the room, “I think it’s cute that you do that nowadays. Talking, or more accurately muttering, to myself is one of the most irritating things of being older. I often do it without realising. It frequently leads to over sharing of information. Even though Zared is older than me he is in a far better shape. I continue muttering under my breath ignoring Zared. He walks over and switches on a special reading lamp lamp with a magnifying glass attached we got in the human realm a few months earlier. Before we came to this era of relative peace people didn’t get this old. When I shift, which is rare nowadays, Aminta no longer

Chapter: 64. ClosureDysnomia pov The sun peeps in through a crack in the curtains. I turn my back to the window and pull the blanket over my head. Of course I knew that having sex on a very regular basis with Zared could get me pregnant again but I’d foolishly hoped that it would take years not months. A soft knock on the door that I can but don’t want to ignore announces Austra with Derora. I sit up and plaster a smile on my face. I know the smile will be genuine in a few seconds when she hands me my little girl. Austra walks in holding my squirming little cherub. Her brown eyes have tiny golden specks showing that she too has some dragon magic. “Mwa!” Derora happily shouts out. I’m still not sure if she is trying to say ‘Mine’ or ‘Mama’. The one perk of being pregnant is that I can stay in bed and cuddle with her whilst the rest of the world is already going through the motions. I get ready with Derora playing and babbling on the bed. Once downstairs I go to my office. Zared is out hunting rebel

Chapter: 63. Regnum Lunae LupiDysnomia povToday Zared and I will be crowned Alpha King and Alpha Queen of ‘Regnum Lunae Lupi’. Over the past weeks we have planned this day and the future of our kingdom together. The planning has given us a common goal to work on and has significantly improved our relationship. There are still trust issues on both sides. Encouraged by Gunther and Aminta we spend time with just the three of us. Breanna, Bridget and Zared haven’t spoken since that fateful full moon. They don’t want to apologise to Zared and Zared doesn’t want to listen to their grievances. It is quite inconvenient to have the beta’s and the Alpha not communicating. That is the root cause of guilt issues on my side. I’m stuck between my mate and my best friends. They understand me and feel bad that they hurt Zared in such a way that it puts me in a difficult position with both Aminta and with Zared. But they don’t feel bad for Zared about it or the act itself. Zared on the other hand won’t admit that he deserved

Chapter: 62. Bury the hatchetZared povI didn’t expect to sleep peacefully, I expected to lay awake, tossing and turning. My sack hurt too much, my head was a turmoil. Gunther tried his best to take away the pain but the incision was made with a silver knife. Thank the Goddess Breanna stitched it fairly neatly with a hot needle. It hurt just like the alcohol hurt. But Gunther said it will make the difference between losing my remaining testicle and maybe my life to an infection or being to live on. It will scar, silver almost always does. Even if the scars are invisible you feel them when the temperature changes or when the skin stretches. In my case I will be painfully reminded of this ordeal every time I get an erection as it will put tension on my sack. Which is at least once a day when I wake up with morning wood. The anger was indescribable. The betrayal Janus and Dysnomia committed still burns. I felt love and pride looking at the pup in Dysnimia’s arms. Gunther presented me visions of us being a happy fa

Chapter: 61. AftermathDysnomia povMy arm hurts. After giving birth Aminta didn’t have enough in her to heal it. It was bone deep. I shudder at the idea that it wasn't my arm but Derora that received the full blow. Breanna and Bridget informed me they had dragged a barely resisting Zared to the dungeon. He is in the same cell that Ahriman occupied. When Breanna and Bridget mind link me again with the question if they can torture him I hesitate. He is my mate after all. Part of me can’t blame him for what he did. He has been trying so hard the last months to get in my good books to earn my forgiveness. There were even times when I thought I could leave the past behind me and find happiness with Zared. It would never be the all consuming love that I felt, no feel, for Janus but it could have been a good life for both of us. /No don’t torture him just yet. Let me think. I’m a mess right now,/ I answer them. Should I kill Zared for the attempted murder of the heir of our yet to be named Kingdom? “You thoug

Chapter: 124. Blue moonLiberty povOlwyn’s bony finger enters me to check how far I’m dilated. I close my eyes as another contraction causes me to wince. We should have waited for more than four years to have children. “You’re not really progressing,” Olwyn says as she takes out her finger. The way that she says it makes it sound like an accusation. “I don’t want to give birth today,” I pant through my gritted teeth.“That’s not for you to decide. They’ll come when they are ready. And they are ready now," she replies as she throws me another stern glare. “I don’t want to give birth during the blue moon. In the morning just after sunrise is fine.”“Oh you stubborn foolish child,” Morgan chastises me, “You of all people should know not to mess with fate and the plans of the gods and goddesses.”MacKenzien places her cool hand on my forehead, “Don’t make this more painful than necessary. Stop resisting.”“Mav!?” I call out longing for his comfort and reassurance.“I’m here” his deep warm voice comforts me a

Chapter: 123. GoodbyeMaverick povI can not find any empathy for John or his lycan as life leaves his body. Not after all the witnesses that came forward. Not after learning how Samantha managed to kill my mother. During birth she gave her something that thinned her blood and prevented it from clotting. Causing her to bleed to death. Gemma smelled that the water was off but had no idea what was wrong with it. Tried to throw it away and replace it but Samantha caught her. Later Gemma figured out what was in the water and made the mistake to tell Samantha she knew what she’d done. Samantha, being the cruel bitch she is, then got rid of Gemma. Not by simply killing her or demoting her but by bringing her to John’s pack. Samantha told John that Gemma deserved to live and suffer. Gemma told me that Samantha used John for getting rid of those that got in her way. They both had a cruel sadistic streak, rejoicing in the power they held over people. Enjoying the pain they could inflict on others while having immu

Chapter: 122. Revenge as justiceLiberty povIt took Truett a week to come to terms with the fact that John would have to face justice. We should have known that Truett would use the extra time to warn John so he could flee the Kingdom. Fortunately for us John chose to escape to King Samuel's Kingdom where he was quickly caught by the border patrols.John tried to gain King Samuel's sympathy by fabricating a story about being the victim of a witch hunt and that we were trying to pin all kinds of heinous crimes on him. John's reputation had travelled ahead of him so he was taken straight to Kings Samuel’s cells where he waited until Claude reached out with the message that whenever it suited us we could come and collect him. We waited for Truett to abdicate the throne and Maverick to be installed as King before we organised a collection party. We weren’t surprised that there were quite a few volunteers to collect him. John was responsible for the demise of many mates. To our surprise Cassius, Rover and Madeline retur

Chapter: 121. Old promisesLiberty povSeeing MacKenzie take the poison knowing that even though it wasn’t meant to kill her or her wolf it most likely would as she is an omega made me furious. Maverick and I had pleaded behind closed doors with the judges and Truett to make them see that the same punishment does not mean equal punishment. Had a warrior had to swallow that amount of poison they would be sick but they and their wolf would survive, providing there is no silver involved to prevent the wolf from healing the human. The sentence was only lightened when Maverick spoke of the harshness and evilness of Samantha. I had a little hope that maybe MacKenzie would survive that she would somehow make it through.When I saw her collapse and the blood pooling between her legs I realised she was still pregnant. I suspected it when I dropped her off at Olwyn but I thought she’d lost the pregnancy because she hadn’t mentioned it. To my surprise I wasn’t the only one who lost control of my anger. Olwyn quietly mov

Chapter: 120. AvaMacKenzie povLiberty bringing me to Olwyn was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was petrified of the old witch at first. I’d only ever heard horrible stories about her. That she’d cut babies out of mothers to use in spells. Leaving the poor women to bleed out listening to the screams of their baby as she’d dismember it. But the moment she looked at me, guessed my secret she’d supported me. When she asked me if I wanted to terminate the pregnancy because of who the father is I hesitated. What if it grew into a little boy that looks like Hartley? Could I look at him and love him? Or would I feel resentment because of how he came to be?I sat with Olwyn during the battle, her eye glazed over the same way our eyes are when we mind link. Her body reacted as if she was there on the battlefield. When I saw her crumple to the floor, weakened trembling I knew that someone she once cared deeply about was either fatally injured or dead.‘No, not her, Selene she needs to live. You said

Chapter: 119. TruthsLiberty povBoth nervous and excited Dad, Maverick and I travel to the Silent Night Hawk. Morgan has sent a message that Madeline is well enough to travel. She requested all three of us come because there were things she needed to discuss with us. As we near the clearing where we fought so hard and so many lost their lives a deep sense of mourning comes over me. I stand still and take the scene in. The area’s where we built pyres for the rogues and those who were mutilated beyond the point of recognition litter the ground. My eyes are drawn to the large flat stone which marks the grave of Rosebelle. The door opens and Morgan steps out to welcome us. Her eyes follow my line of sight to where Rosebelle lies and she bites her lips. I feel the urge to comfort her or say something meaningful but what do you say to someone who had to kill her own sister because of how evil she was? So I say nothing.“When someone dies we don’t only mourn the person they were, we also mourn the person we w
