Epilogue

Five Years Later

Ronan’s POV:

The orchards were full of fruit the branches were bending down because of the weight of the fruit. The air smelled like soil and freshly baked bread from the village down below.

I was standing on the balcony watching a pup with black fur playing in the tall grass. He was making a pitched noise that made the guards at the gate laugh. He was a boy, very fast and when he changed back into a boy his eyes were a beautiful silver color.

"He is trying to catch dragonflies, he has your stubbornness. " Lira said, coming to stand beside me. She looked very happy the purple stains on her hands were gone. She was wearing a gold ring that showed she was the Lunar Empress.

"And he has your light," I added, kissing her temple.

I put my arm around her. Pulled her close to me. The world was a place now. The Silver-Grip was a place where people could heal. It was the center of a new world where magic and people with wolf blood could live together in harmony.

"Let him do it " I said, finally smiling. "He has a lot of time to learn about the things, in life. For now let him just enjoy the things."

Lira put her head on my shoulder watching our son run towards us. "We did a thing, Ronan."

"No " I said, looking at the woman who had changed everything. "You did it Lira. I just made the decision to follow you."

As the moon came up over the valley, big and white and free the story of the silver and the gold finally came to an end.
