Chapter 197 - A MIRACLE SILVER WOLF
196. . 196. Epilogue
Tamia
It has been ten years.
Ten years that have gone by like nothing happened.
We have Been happy, we have grown, we have had our internal fights as a family, but we have held on.
That night after the ceremony, Killian and I took a month's break and when we returned, I was able to face the world once more.
I was a queen of two packs but with my family's help, I did the job with grace and we grew as a pack
Silvermoon did better than it ever did.
I was able to pay Killian's loan back and Silvermoon is now independent.
Four months later after the wedding at Silvermoon, I gave birth.
They were twins: a boy and a girl.
The girl was a photocopy of my birth mother: Mena was the queen's name.
Now that she is nine years old, I look at her and I see the queen who I thought was Alana's mom.
The queen who was only nice to me because I was her daughter's best friend.
At least she never treated me badly. She was good to me but I don't blame her.
If at all I blame anyone, I blame the witches who denied us the chance to be a family.
At least, I never lacked love when growing up.
Kola and Mary loved me more than I ever deserved.
The boy, Kola, yes, my adopted father's name, was a copy of my father the king.
It was like I gave it to my husband and wife.
Although some people wanted me to give him my birth father's name, I wanted to do something for my dad, Kola. He deserved it.
I had to give the girl a name that was the queen's and my boy took my dad's name.
He died for me and now, I had someone to remember him by.
In short, it was now clear who belonged in Silvermoon and who belonged in Midnight.
Apollo and Ares are the heirs to Midnight and Zeus (yes, my boy was Kola Zeus Black James) and Mena are the heirs to Silvermoon Pack.
Again, the Moon Goddess had played her hand in my life.
She had made the decisions easy for us.
Killian said that he could feel it when he was unable to unknot himself that night we mated in Silvermoon. So, whatever happened to the pregnancy I was carrying, happened that night.
But whatever it was, I could never be grateful enough for the favors.
I was grateful that again, the Goddess had played her hand.
I never knew what I did to be so favored but I was happy that it was me.
That was why I strived day and night to be a good woman because I always think that the Goddess blessed me so much for a reason.
Also, we have enjoyed ten years of peace and prosperity in the two packs and I could never be more grateful.
There have been no wars or threats and everyone is happy.
Everyone in our packs is where they are supposed to be.
Oh, Aurora and Kira, who made Silvermoon their permanent home, have six children.
Six I say! Who could have thought?
And no, she didn't give birth to multiples like me, she carried them all one by one. Six pregnancies to term.
Who would have known that Aurora had it in her?
But she is the happiest mom in the whole world and both her children and her husband are lucky to have her.
Kira... Kira is then pecked and everyone can see it but he doesn't care.
He says that the Moon Goddess gave him a second chance and he would be foolish not to cherish it.
But they also say that Killian does everything I want but it is a lie.
I call it love.
That's what I tell them.
It is because he loves me and I love him too and that is how we have been able to have thirteen years of pure bliss.
We have been happy and everyone has been happy too.
I am in the kitchen right now supervising dinner because no matter how busy we are, we promised to always eat dinner together as a family as we share about our day.
"Mama! Mama? Mama, today Mena beat another boy and the teacher told her that she will be expelled the next time she does it.
Our classmates say that she does it because she is a princess and knows she will be taken to another school even if she is expelled," Zee shouts as they come into the kitchen after school.
Yeah, welcome to my typical evenings.
That's Mena for you.
I have been in school multiple times because she doesn't know how to keep her hands to herself.
"Shut up Zee.
He was laughing at you and I couldn't leave him.
So what if your hair is dark and curly?
He looks like an overfed pig and he had the audacity to think that he can bully you!" Mena defends.
Yeah. Those are the twins for you.
Mena is the firstborn of the two and she takes the role very seriously.
We decided to take them to a public school outside the pack so that they can learn how the commoners live and since Zee is very quiet and small bodied, many think that they can bully him.
What they don't know is that he has a bodyguard in the form of a sister.
This one is much better than I was at her age.
We all think that she will be an alpha because of all the energy she has.
But you want to blame anyone?
Blame her big brothers.
They taught them how to fight and told the twins that they should never be bullied.
Apollo and Ares are so protective of their siblings that if they weren't in senior secondary, they would be in the same school with the twins.
"Even if you are expelled, we will tutor you at home," Apollo, who is the tallest of all and a warrior at twelve, tells the twins as they too, come into the kitchen in their school uniforms.
What did I say to all of that?
I supported them.
In fact, I personally train Mena.
I would never let anyone bully my children the way I was bullied.
I was bullied enough for all of my family to watch them go through the same.
"Do I need to go to school tomorrow baby?" I ask Mena and Zee shakes his head.
"Mom, if you continue encouraging her she will never get a husband.
Let her be a girl for once," Zee says like he is a fifty year old wolf.
"And let you get bullied?
Not in this life," Mena retaliates.
"Big brother told me to protect you and I take my duties very seriously," Mena says, grabbing a hot cookie from the baking tray and she drops it back and fancies her fingers.
"Mom, they are hot!" She complains.
"And mom always tells you to wait till they cool.
We have heard that statement a million times," Apollo says as he pats his little brother on the head and the boy, who worships his big brother, smiles up at him.
"Had a good day Zee?" Ares asks.
"Hey brother, you are home," Mena says, hugging her favorite brother, Apollo, not giving us a chance.
"Okay, go and wash then come down for dinner.
How was your day Ar?" I ask my middle child.
Like Zeus, he is very quiet but, unlike Zee, this one will kill you and get away with it.
He doesn't tolerate nonsense and is the protector of the family.
At twelve, he has the demeanor his father had and even more.
I really don't know what my children will become but something tells me that Ares isn't a normal wolf.
He won't be a lycan or a normal alpha. Maybe an alpha king or even an enigma.
He will be even more powerful and cunning than his father who he really took after in looks except his hair.
"I am well mom.
You don't have to worry about me.
You know that I can take care of myself and yes..." he interrupts me as I am about to talk.
"I will always tell you if anything happens.
But you don't have to worry.
Ap is always with me," he says and I smile.
Yes, like Zee who has Mena, Ares always has Apollo.
I am now sure that even if Killian and I were to die at a time like today, Apollo would hold everything together and they would be okay.
But I don't want to leave them yet.
I want them to enjoy their childhood before adulthood comes and burdens them with responsibilities and families of their own.
"Now go and wash up.
Dinner is almost ready," I say again as I push them out of the kitchen.
"Hey, stop making your mother shout and do as she says," my husband says as he also joins us.
"How do you always get so much time to spend with mom seeing that you are the king?
Are you sure everything is okay in the pack?" Mena asks as she hides behind her big brother.
"I always know that you bully my wife and make her tired once you come home.
So, I have to leave all I am doing and come defend her," Killian says and I know they will banter until nightfall if I don't interfere.
"Dad, you know that she is our mom, right?" Zee asks and shakes his head.
"Let's go up guys.
We will never win against dad when he's defending his wife," Apollo says and they all follow him.
"I wonder how they all listen to him more than they listen to me," Killian says as he watches them go upstairs.
"Because he doesn't bully us the way you do papa," Mena shouts and they all laugh.
"Come and sit.
Are you done for the day?" I ask him as he takes a stool at the kitchen counter.
"No. One more meeting and you need to be there," he says and I knew it.
I had been sent a text reminding me of the meeting.
It is another pack that wants to do business with us.
But we all know that what they want is to betroth their daughters to our sons.
But that is something we swore never to do.
Our sons will either marry their mates or whoever they want.
We will never choose for them. No one chose for me and I would never force them.
"You know our answer, right?" I ask Killian who smiles at me.
"Of course. Would have already told them only that I want to be diplomatic and all for the future.
It sucks when they keep doing that," he answers as I place a cup of lemon grass tea before him.
He sips his tea as we talk about work until the food is served and we move to the dining table.
We are happy and that's all that matters.
I am also sure that the two packs will be fine for the next hundred or so years because for all we know, the remaining witches may be regrouping somewhere.
But we will keep hunting them if they keep coming after us
But I won't care if they leave us alone.
"Let me go upstairs and get them," I tell Killian and he stops me.
"No, come and sit here," he pulls me to his lap.
"We are at the dining table," I tell him but he shrugs.
He kisses me and I chuckle when I hear Mena scream behind us.
"Get a room for you two," she says and joins us at the table.
The others follow and Zee looks at us and then at Mena," How are you not used to them making out all over the house after all those years?"
I am happy.
We are all happy.
This, this is my family.
