Iris had headed straight to the Temple of the Supernatural to pray for her husband's victory and seek help from Şekileus. She had desperately wished for Y's end. For many centuries, only the thought of one day killing her foster brother slowly one day, was what had kept her going. And now she was in a place where her husband had to fight her war. Of course, Y had threatened to eradicate anyone who came in his path or stood against him, and Dom, being the Alpha King of all shifters, had the responsibility to fight for them. And she knew he would do a fine job defeating Y. It still did not help her tortured soul that had wanted revenge for so long and also desired to avenge the fallen innocents for the last millennium at Y's psychotic hands. Freddie was still MIA. The death of his sister had broken him. The pain of losing the only blood relative he had and that too, in such a horrifying way, had done a number on him. Casualties are a part of war. But sweet, shy, and kind Isabella did n

[Warning: This chapter contains elements of gore, war, and terrible death. Reader's caution is advised.] 'You were not made the Alpha King to give up so easily.' Dom jerked at the voice in his head. 'Freddie! You came.' 'I'm sorry. Alpha Queen tried to contact me. You know your powers can force mind-links? Cuz I didn't know that.' Freddie's giant-scaled dragon grew bigger as it came closer. 'Go, I'll cover you.' He told Dom as he rushed at what was left of his sister and Lily's dragon. 'I'm sorry, Freddie. I truly am, brother.' Dom needed him to hear this. 'So am I. Now you need to get back. Go to your dad.' Freddie managed to respond while showering both the beasts and the ground beneath with dragon fire, slowing down the advance of Y's troops. Dom tried to do as told but then saw how Isabella's monster was too much to handle for both Lily and Freddie, so he turned around. It became three against one and still, to the amazement of all, the monster was able to hold its own. I

It is said that there are two parts of war. The battlefield and the aftermath. The battle was won. The cost came in the aftermath. Dom along with his family and those of the deceased was the first one to enter the Shifter Cemetery. It was the huge ground where all the shifters who lost their lives to Y's madness were buried after the war. Those who had been recognizable had tombstones, the rest got collective plates with lists of names of those lost in war. There was an empty grave for the innocent Isabella, about whose whereabouts no one had any idea. But Freddie deserved a place to mourn, and Isabella deserved to be remembered like the rest of the innocent victims. Liliana's body had been recovered, but it would've been unfair to all those who died fighting Waai if she had been buried in their ranks. So Dom had placed her in the backyard of his private mansion, where only the close family would be able to visit and remember. Iris still hadn't been able to entirely move past the

[Dom's dream from the Med-Bay bed after getting rescued from Y's Island and recovering.] Dom outlined the edge of her black lace panties with his teeth as Iris couldn't help but squirm under his ministrations, making Dom stop and look up from his position between her legs and say in his deep sensual voice, "Little wolf, if you don't stay place, these lace panties are not going anywhere tonight!" Iris looked at him doubtfully, "You don't mean that!" Dom sat up straight, revealing his tanned chest that flowed down to his smooth torso ornamented by rigid eight-pack abs and that sexy v-line that made Iris drool. "Try me!" He challenged and Iris was quick to give in, not only because she knew he would do as he said but also because she was too eager to avoid delay. She wanted him and she wanted him soon, so she huffed making her naked breasts jiggle. "Fine!" Dom's bulge in his trousers got more obvious at the show of her hot body lying almost naked on his bed waiting for him to do

"Dom, she is too young for this. Wait a few more years." Iris laughed as she read a book and kept watch on baby Marie while her father was doing things nobody expected him to. Ever since the war had been won and peace had been settled. Dominic and Iris chose a secluded place untouched by war or any bad memories, a small cottage beside a private white beach in Brazil, to raise their daughter. Of course, there were times when they had to fly or teleport to a meeting halfway across the world when Freddie or Nora needed them to be present. The Alpha King and Queen could simply not vanish with the little princess. The secret perfectly up-to-date with technology and the magic, basement of the cottage was an example of how Dom and Iris were working from home while giving Marie the childhood that neither of them had. They had settled into this new routine of mundane chores which meant everything to the couple who had seen and suffered so much in their millennia-long lives. Dom had changed
