This is the end of Epilogue 1—Our new trio as they prepare to take over the ranks for the Black Shadow Pack. Thank you for all of the lovely comments and love you gave to Colton, Enzo, and David, as well as the rest of the Galhart-Salvatore-Montrell pups. The FINAL EPILOGUE will be tomorrow or Sunday, depends on when I can finish it. Thank you for all the gems, lovelies! 💖
LEXI.I held on to the kitchen counter as I listened to the family mindlink. I wanted to say many things, but my words failed me. Instead, I cried, letting out all the emotions that had shattered my heart for many months, ever since David didn’t shift on time. I felt the burden lift off my chest.All these years, I thought Austin and I did well raising our pups. Each of them had a different personality that they inherited from me and him. But all of them were disciplined, and they grew up with so much love that they knew how to give it out as well. I had everything I ever wanted. I shouldn’t be complaining.But then David didn’t shift. And I wanted to question why. I wanted to be upset because he didn’t deserve it, but I couldn’t. Because I was given a good life. I was given a good family and given a good pack. I felt questioning the Goddess about his wolf might be too much. So when he told everyone he had shifted, I didn’t know where to channel my gratitude. I kept crying on my ow
GAMMA AUSTIN.I sat at the boulder on the highest point of the forest on this side of the territory, letting my eyes look at the beauty of the land that thrived under our reign.Tomorrow night, my son David will finally claim the fate that was rightfully his. He would step up as the new Gamma of the Black Shadow Pack, alongside Colton as the Alpha and Enzo as his Beta.This was a bittersweet moment. I was proud of my son, but I couldn’t help the sadness that I would be letting go of the rank I’d spent my whole life perfecting. No, I had no regrets. And no, I had no plans of prolonging my service. I was just being me — being emotional. I almost lost this rank because of one mistake. I almost lost it for David and for the generations after him, but I was glad that I was given a chance to do better. A chance I surely didn’t take for granted. I spent my whole service proving that Alpha Jace didn’t make a mistake in still putting his full trust in me even after that grave mistake. I s
ALPHA JACE.We let our wolves run around the territory, rounding the whole area, border to border. Zero should have been tired, but for some reason, he was not. Black and Atlas also did not show any signs.Maybe it was the adrenaline or the fact that our wolves knew that this would be the last moment we would rule this place, as tomorrow, we would pass on to our sons the responsibility of taking care of this territory.We had a good run. Most of the shifters out tonight who saw us asked permission to join us, and I couldn’t be more proud to share this run with them. The longer we ran, the more wolves ran with us. We all shared stories along the way. Our people recounted tales of our assistance and how we touched their lives.It was a bittersweet moment, but nevertheless, it made me proud. What more could an Alpha ask for before he retired? Having his people personally thank him for his service was an honor I didn’t know I needed. But I basked in it and let it warm my whole soul. After

It was supposed to be just a one-time encounter — just letting out the steam that had been fuming between us. He was not made for relationships, while I just got out of one and was not ready for another.But that one-night stand turned into two nights, and then three, until I could no longer count the number of times he knocked at my door whenever he wanted to get laid.And I just let him in. Every damn time. But then, the nights of passion turned into two stripes on the pregnancy stick.And he wanted nothing to do with it.*****Follow me on my I G and F B for updates and teasers - author.cassa.m*****CHAPTER 1.LEXI.“Lexi, you’re six weeks pregnant.” Clotilde’s voice kept resonating in my head as goosebumps rose from my skin.My period had always been on time, so when I realized I was late for more than a week already, I tried a pregnancy stick.Two stripes. But I needed a second opinion, so I went to the maternity ward in the hospital where I was working and asked my friend to
LEXI.“Who’s the father?” Austin asked almost immediately.My heart constricted as my hand flew to my chest. I didn’t expect him to ask me that. “What do you mean with your question?”“Is it mine?” He asked as he stepped back.“Of course, it is yours! Who do you think the father is?”“I don’t know.” He brushed his hand over his hair as his jaw tightened. “We are not exclusive, so I thought...”“So you thought I was fucking around? Like you do?” I said, my teeth gritting. “I don’t know. I never asked! So don’t blame me if I thought that way!”“Of course, who knows? But yes, this is yours! And I’m sure of that!”“But how did you get pregnant?”I gasped. “Are you stupid? Of course, you fucked me! Not just once! Do you want me to give you the exact details of how it happened?”“You don’t understand my fucking question! How did you get pregnant when you don’t have a fucking wolf!” He was not raising his voice, but he was talking differently from Austin, who would sweet-talk me all the time
NINE MONTHS AFTER.LEXI.I looked at the bank card that carries my mother's maiden name. This was hers. She told me to use it only if it was a matter of life and death.This should be the case at the moment, right?I was already beginning to have a contraction. But the money I was expecting didn't come yet, which was my final pay for the work where I was laid off. The economy hit the small hospital where I was working, and unfortunately, I was one of the ones they let go as I was not a regular worker yet. All the savings I had were depleted. And this hospital where I wanted to give birth would never admit me if I couldn't deposit any money.I could opt for a simple midwife service, but I knew my baby was bigger than usual, and I was terrified something would go wrong. The last nine months have been a big challenge. I moved out of Bernice City and moved to Orleans. I had no idea what I was thinking when I did that. All I knew was that I was saving what was left of my broken heart an
AUSTIN. I stared at the sleeping pup in the middle of my bed while thinking about all the actions I had taken in the last two weeks. Everything happened so fast after I got a message from the tracker Jace told me to use to locate Lexi. The tracker said he found her in Orleans. I didn’t waste time and took the first flight to that city. She was already having a contraction when I arrived, and they had just finished giving her an epidural because she was having massive pain. Lexi didn’t have a wolf, and they said she was carrying a big baby, so I could only imagine the pain she was going through. They let me in when I told them I was the father of her baby, but I was quickly ushered out again when Lexi started screaming at me. I never felt so little and humiliated all my life until she threw those words at me. But I swallowed all of it, including my pride. I asked her if I could see her delivery, and I wouldn’t even make a noise. She flatly said no. She told me I wasn’t there
