TWO WEEKS AFTER. SOFIA. Another beautiful day. The sun beamed its beautiful rays on my skin as I spread out my arms and tilted my head up to bask in them, letting its warmth and sunshine heal and refresh my soul. I was in the middle of the fields of wildflowers in the meadow at the Silver Moon Pack — the same place Dominic took me nine years ago when I first visited Alpha Riley's territory. We took the pups, Cassidy and Walker, for a play date with Riley and Nadia’s twins, Ara and Nika, and Dawson and Ellie’s twins, Drake and Dustin. Once the kids were settled and being watched over, we decided to sneak and head out here. Life had been nothing but beautiful for me. Two weeks had gone by since that fateful day when we all thought we were losing both Darvin and Celeste. But we triumphed. I underestimated the power of love and friendship, and the ways they could conquer even the toughest mountain. Celeste was given a gift from the Goddess that none of us had encountered in our

FOUR YEARS AFTER LUCAS AND KATARINA’S EPILOGUE SOFIA. My gaze roamed around the ballroom as Darvin’s 40th birthday was still in full swing. Every important person in his and Celeste’s lives was here. Almost twenty years ago, no one would have thought he would reach this age, so we opted for a big celebration. Although he didn’t want to, he had no choice when there were three females around him, who kept celebrating every year that was given to him. Glenn had confirmed that he no longer had acresia a long time ago, but Celeste, Katarina, and I — we will never forget the ordeal of nearly losing him. So we celebrate year after year, thanking the Goddess for the extended lives she gave Darvin and Celeste. Strong arms wrapped around my waist before my body was pulled back onto a strong torso. Dominic’s scent enveloped me all at once as sparks traveled all over my body. Dominic, even at 37, could still make my knees weak with just one touch, just as he could at 23. The 14 years just

Lovelies, Thank you for reading this story and for the patience you have shown me as I navigate toward the end. This story was more difficult to write than the rest because I changed so much in this short novel. Someone asked me before if I had changed any of my storylines, and I said no, but it was a lie as I didn't want to give anything away. The truth is, Darvin's story was supposed to end in Aeon's book, and it would pave the way for Beta Dominic's fate. It was the reason I didn't give him too much exposure in Riley's book. But just one POV and everyone shifted from hating him (for putting his sisters to the Claiming) into loving him. And I just knew after reading the love he was receiving that I didn't have the heart to break your hearts again the same way I did with Riley's. So I took on the challenge of rewriting Dominic's plot, and from time to time, I kept changing my mind about where it should go. But after four months, finally we are here, and I couldn't be more thank
