EPILOGUE

~

Using up so much power drained both me and Gavrael, and we both passed out almost immediately after. We didn’t wake up till after two whole days because our bodies shut down to heal and recuperate. When we finally woke up, we discovered that using so much power had broken the hold of the third souls we each had. I no longer possessed Selene’s soul and Gavrael no longer possessed the soul of the demon king. Their essence had returned to the volcano realm after their souls split from ours. They couldn’t be killed, she was a goddess and he was a god, but it would take a long time for them to recreate a physical form. For now, I was just happy that we would no longer be the victims of an age long war.

Then came another problem, the issue of Gavrael’s possessiveness. He was no longer under the control of the demon king, but now that he knew I was pregnant, his wolf was just as easily pissed off as he was before. It was usual for the mates of pregnant females to become very territorial and very aggressive whenever they perceived even the smallest threat to their unborn pup. But like always, anything concerning Gavrael was always different, his temper was worse than a normal male would be. Not even females were allowed to come close to me and we had to move out of the pack house to the outskirts of the pack where no one was in danger of accidentally bumping into me and getting on Gavrael’s bad side. The only person he could tolerate around me right now was Theia. He would get less aggressive as my pregnancy progressed but for now I was stuck with grumpy Gav.

The pack was elated that their Luna was with child and though no one was allowed to come close to our house at the outskirts, they always dropped off things for me several feet away from our house and Theia would bring them into the house for me since she was the only one Gavrael allowed around me. I could do it myself but that was another thing I would have to get used to, I wasn’t allowed to do anything. Gavrael refused to let me lift a finger, even to get out of bed. We argued so much for the first week after the battle because I told him it was ridiculous. He was carrying me everywhere like I didn’t have legs to move, feeding me even though my hands work perfectly, even bathing me everyday, helping me get dressed, brushing my hair and more. It was fucking annoying but I know it was just the urge to care for his pregnant mate that was riding him hard, especially after all we went through to save the pack and the danger we were in. That was the only reason I was tolerating all he was doing, but if it doesn’t stop soon, I may lose my mind.

I can’t even be involved with getting the pack reorganised after the attack. We lost almost half of our warriors despite the fact that the fight between us and the nether realm’s army lasted only for a few minutes. If I had not been taken away at the start of the battle, the casualties would have been less, but it is what it is. Now we just had to find a way to move on and the first step was to grieve as a pack. The pack gathered for the final rites to the deceased. As Alpha and Luna, Gavrael and I were supposed to lead the ceremony but we couldn’t because Gavrael still hadn’t gotten over his protective streak yet so we let Theia’s parents lead and stayed a bit of a distance from the pack to avoid any incidents.

Because we were no longer bonded to our third souls, we no longer had powers. I could no longer manipulate light or use Selene’s power, and Gavrael no longer had the powers of the demon king, Zephyr. But we were still stronger than all other shifters because of the remnants of their essence in us. The Sage wolves also retained their powers. The pack was learning to function as one big unit even though we had only just been joined together recently. Reconstruction of damaged properties was ongoing and since we were a big pack now, new mate bonds have been formed between packs that had been rivals or distant from each other before. Even Gaby found her mate, he was one of the Alphas who abdicated their packs to Gavrael, but he was fatally wounded during the battle and was still healing but at least he was still alive. It would have been awful to have her mate taken from her when she had only just found him.

As months passed, Gavrael became less aggressive, and though I was still not allowed to visit the pack, now pack members were allowed to visit our house on the outskirts for short periods. The house was overflowing with gifts for my unborn pup and we had to start giving things away to other pregnant females and stop people from bringing in more. I honestly couldn’t wait to deliver, my stomach was so big, and I was always hungry nowadays or extremely horny. Gavrael had no problems taking care of all my needs, and I had to admit that I loved being doted on but I hated being unable to see my feet or having to waddle when I tried to walk. Thank the goddess that shifter pregnancies were shorter than a human woman’s pregnancy. We only had five months of pregnancy and humans had nine, NINE! Imagine being pregnant for four extra months, goddess forbid. I was in my fourth month and I was already losing my mind.

We got the shock of our lives when it was finally time for my delivery and I gave birth to twins. The female had hair so dark it blended with the night, and the male had hair so white it was nearly transparent.

We named them NYX and NYRA. One touched by darkness and the other touched by the goddess.

THE END.

I can't believe I'm finally done with this book. It didn't do as well as I expected but I'm still grateful to all who read this far. Drop comments to let me know how you enjoyed the story, what parts were your favourites and what parts were your worse.
