Sometimes I feel like I am going crazy.After my Mother's Superior left, I stay inside my room and skipped dinner. Her words today made open my eyes and brought me back to Colby's question and now I didn't even get a good sleep as I am indecisive about what to do and who to choose.

Finally as if something dawned on me, I thought of a perfect way to solve all these doubts and unanswered questions I have. I get up right away on my feet. I know where to go to find my answers.

Our Theme song for the epilogue is "Always" by Yoon Mi Rae. Your author will always love you, my readers. So please 'unfollow my heart.'~~~Shawn's POVWe sat there silently waiting for her. It has been an hour since we'd waited outside of Lucia's Cabin. She linked us earlier today to come to her place as Jenna wanted to talk to us. Nervously my right leg bounces up and down with my sweaty hands rubbing against my jean. Mrs. Harrison reached out and takes my hand into hers. "It's going to be alright," she whispers to me in a very comforting tone. I am thankful to have her here with me. When the door opened I saw Jenna laughing at something Lucia is saying before she turns around and settling her eyes on me. Lucia smiled and mouth to me you'll be okay."Hey," I stood up abruptly and walk over to where she stood. "Can I have a moment with you?" I ask and look back and Mrs. Harrison gave me a reassuring smile. Taking a deep breath, I look back to face Jenna and nod my head yes to he
(Slightly Mature)Hailey’s Pov“You know, sometimes you need to rest love,” I said to Colby as I rub my five-month pregnant stomach. It is nice to have another child on the way especially its the one I created with my loving mate. Colby looks up at me through his reading glasses. A smile broke on his face and he took them off, rubbing his eyes. He placed the reading glasses on the ledger in front of him and let out a long exhausting sigh.“I can’t do that,” he simply replies and slumps back to rest his head on the leather chair.Seeing him work so hard makes me worried all time. I always worried about his health. I slowly walk toward him and move to the back of his chair.I place my hands on his head. . “I know you have a lot on your plate and it’s your responsibility to do this but sometimes we all need to rest. You need to relax daddy.”I start to massage his head. Colby let out a groan.“Don’t start or you will get it baby” he warns me, making me smile even more and continue to ma
Sr. Claire/ Jenna’s PovThe sound of waves crashing to the shore made me close my eyes and enjoy the breeze. I love this and I wish to enjoy this beautiful scene and moments forever. “Aunty” I smile upon hearing that sweet voice and turn back to see my nephew namely Wes waving at me. That kid has grown up so quick and I love to spoil him as he is my only nephew. He took both of his parents looks which is an excellent combination. "Aunty" he calls again and I wave at him, shaking my head casually. Today’s my vacation day and I decided to spend it with my family at the beach house like I did every year. We have been doing this practice every year during the warm summer season. I do not own the beach house as I don’t have money and yes, I finally have a family now apart from the nuns, my mother superior and the children at the orphanage.“Jenna” my mom hugs me to her side when she reaches me. I snap out of my thoughts and smile at her. It has been two months since I haven’t seen her
Jenna's Pov I thought the best way to move on was to run away from my pack two years ago. If you are wondering why I ran away, well the answer is simple. Four years ago, our Alpha Colby found his Luna and introduced her to us. Rumour said she had been married before and now she is divorcing her husband because she and Alpha Colby have finally mended things together. You all have heard the side story of the girl who got rejected and ran away pregnant. Only to come back after a few years to be a strong, sophisticated woman with her chosen mate in her arms. I would say, that is my Luna's life. However, have you heard of the other girl's story? The mate of the man the luna chose, slept with and have her second child with. The one that our luna took as her second chance in love. No, I don't think so, as everyone was busy looking at our Luna while fate was unkind to me. Real fact reveals that I ran run away from our Pack because I was jealous to see our Luna and my mate together as
"Kill me," I said in an affirmed tone. I look back to find Colby sadly looking at me. One look, and I knew that he was the only one who understood me. His silent tonight's said it all. Shawn broke down on his knees in front of me. "What do you want me to do?" he begs me through his tears. "Nothing, because even if you die tonight, it would never take away the pain I am going through," I sadly told him and, my tears betrayed me. Like a waterfall, they keep flowing down to my cheek. The pain in my chest increases and my heart hurts like hell. There's only one thing running through my head, 'I have to let everything I have been feeling out of my being.' "I was an outcast when I was young. My parents never really loved or cared for me. Their whole attention was on my elder sister. I tried very hard to live up to their standards but nothing I did ever made them love me. Our pack never let me in on anything, even when I thought somebody cared. In the end, they only used me for their cho
Shawn's Pov "Did you see her today?" Alpha Colby said as he sat beside me. I nod my head discreetly. "Three years and she still looks breathtaking," I said with my eyes fixed ahead. Colby didn't say anything afterwards as he just sat there and listened to what I had to say. "I told Hailey back then that I don't regret loving her. I even told her that she will always be the woman I first love. It's crazy but I do remember I also told her that I am glad, she is the mother of my child." My heart ached while saying these words and I could feel Colby tense a little. I know that he is uncomfortable because Hayley was his mate before she and I got together. He needs to see that it hurt for me to say this but I needed to let it out. I just need to tell him what I'm feeling right now and I know he's the only one who understands Jenna and maybe he could help me out. Our pack members, my mom, my friends, and even Hailey had been telling me that if she has left because she doesn't accept me
Alpha Colby's POV I keep looking at the rearview mirror between Shawn and Claire. Today's surprise was unexpected. No one was expecting Jenna to be here out in the woods. I glance at her side and found Claire smiling widely while closing her eyes as she took in the breeze. Her strong scent as a human filled our car and Shawn on the other side keeps on stealing glances in her way and I could feel anxiety through our pack link. Letting out a heavy sigh I shook my head and clear my throat before saying something. "So Sr. Claire," I start and she instantly whips her head back and looks in my way with a smile. "What brings you out here?" I ask and she fiddle with her fingers before softly speaking. "Our Mother superior sent me to help out with Mr. Odega's health. He lives in Clearwood." I squint my brow in the mentioning of Mr. Odega's and my pack's name. Jerry Odega is one of the prominent elders in our Pack. Yes, Clearwood is our pack's name. Shawn gave me a questioning look in whi

Jenna/Sr. ClaireOn the next day, I was sitting in my room meditating when my mother came inside unannounced. "I am sorry to interrupt you," she said. "Anything I can help you with?" She shook her head no and came to sit beside me. "I don't know if you still remember or even want to know it. Your sister has a pup. Ken, her mate took him away when Sophie died." I raise my brow. "Nephew?" I question and she nods her head yes. "I do visit them sometimes but ever since you came I haven't. Today I am going to see him at the Nightfall Pack and I just wanted to know if you want to come with me" I try to blink my eyes. This is another shocking news that I did not remember. Taking deep breaths I stood up and try to calm myself. When I am calm I said, "I want to see him if that's okay with you?" "Thank you Jenna" she raised her hand to touch me but I step back. I may have forgiven her but there is a boundary between us. She looked taken a back for a moment she look sad before she cover it
Jenna/ Sr. ClaireTo forget is the hardest thing to do and that is why I don't forgive anyone easily. However, to see people that I used to despise work their way for forgiveness, my heart wavers. Shawn did live up to his promise and so did everyone else. After another month Shawn did earn my trust but not my heart. However, recently I am starting to feel it wavers for him. I have to be honest that every time I am with him I am smiling and happy. He didn't do anything to relive the unforgiveable past we had, rather he filled it with lights. Now I am conflicted between my feelings for him and my responsibilities as a nun. A woman who is already anointed to serve God. "Do you want more" Shawn said, pulling me out of my train of thoughts. I look up and see him wiggles his brow at the waffle on the spatula in his hand? I groan and rub my stomach. "No thanks, I am full," I said. He shook his head and place the waffle on an empty plate. "Morning uncle and aunty" I hear a cheerful voice
Shawn"Dad where is mo- aunt Sr. Claire?" asked Hans. I know my son is struggling between his biological mother and Jenna. I've seen him with her and sometimes I may have caught him in his room, wishing for Jenna to be his mother. I don't want him to have false hope because my relationship with Jenna is still questionable. "Dad, where's aunt Claire," his question snap me back from my trance. When my son arrived home he wanted to meet Jenna but I told him that she was a bit busy. Now I can't lie to him anymore. This has been going on for days and I didn't want to disappoint him by telling truth. After all he is just a child. My child. "She's in her room. why?" I ask him. "I miss her," he sadly said to me. I look at him sadly remembering that I have to win Jenna's heart again. I smile at him and bend down to his level."Okay, why don't we surprise her for a day out" I suggest and Hans jumps to his feet in excitement. "Dad, let's get ready" he drags me to the shower. After we get re
Jenna/Sr. ClaireShawn left right after his promise, excusing himself that he has pack duties and I'm left with the kids. Despite that, we still enjoy our picnic even though it was kinda sad that Shawn missed out on the rest of the fun. Back to the pack house after our fun at the park. I sat in my room, thinking of his words before I get up and go to the shower. After a nice warm shower, I changed into a mid-knee floral 'skirt and a white tug-in blouse. I then put on pairs of white sneakers. I try to look for a pen and paper but I could not find it. I know one person I can get it from. Despite, not wanting to go but I have no option. I walk out of my room and head towards downstairs. I then turn right and made my way to Colby's office. When I reach it I knock on the door lightly. "Come in" I hear him from inside. The moment I open the door is the moment I regret coming here. Shawn, Hailey, and Hanna were all in Colby's office. They all look at me as if they saw a ghost. I clear my
Jenna/Sr. Claire"Forgive me, Lord." I kiss my cross tied to my necklace and place it in the top drawer. After another breakdown, I never bother to show my face at lunch or dinner. It is another day and I have been sitting here thinking of what to do until I made up my mind. And what I am going to do may sound crazy. However, for once I want to go crazy because I am going crazy of what had happened to me in the past. These people who claim to love, to know, and to say sorry to me are making me unstable again. I need to breathe. I need to live a little and just forget everything. I look at myself in the mirror once again. "This is it," I said to my reflection. Taking a deep breath I check my skinny jean, spaghetti top, and my two-inch heel. "It's time for Jenna to let loose" I mutter and grab my purse from the nightstand. I slowly close the door behind me and about to walk through the hallway way when a voice stops me. "You're going somewhere?" I turn to find Colby standing at the
