Chapter 175: Written in Fate, Sealed in Love
EPILOGUE
Author’s POV
The entire Archlight Academy was on black, students wore black, even decorations were made with black.
From the towering gates to the quiet paths, candles shinned in the hands of students, teachers, and wolves from different packs who had gathered for one reason, to remember Zade.
A soft song was being hummed, one by one, the candles were lifted, their flames glowing like stars against the dark sky as the academy held a candlelight remembrance in his honor.
It had been a year since Zade left Archlight Academy, left the world to return to his Creator.
Time had passed, and wounds had slowly begun to heal, yet his absence still lingered in every corner of the school.
Standing at the front of the crowd were Damian, Alex, Kyle, and Dana.
Ironically, they had never truly been Zade’s friends when he was alive. Fate had twisted their paths through pain, rivalry, and loss. Yet now, they were the ones whose lives had been forever altered by him, that had organized the remembrance.
As the crowd slowly reduced, Hana stepped forward, her eyes glistening with gratitude.
“Thank you,” Hana said softly, her voice trembling as she faced them. “Thank you all for remembering my brother, even though Zade wasn't good to you all, you still thought it wise to remember him.”
Dana reached out, squeezing Hana’s hands gently. No words could fully heal the pain, but sometimes presence was enough.
That night, as the last candle burned low, Archlight Academy seemed to exhale.
The school that had been built to train future wolves slowly returned to its peaceful nature.
New students enrolled, neww laughter filled the school, life moved forward, as it always did.
But Zade’s name would never be forgotten.
\-------------------------------------------------
“I still can’t believe we’re finally graduating from Archlight Academy,” Dana said, shaking her head as she walked alongside the boys.
Her eyes sparkled with disbelief and pride.
“Honestly,” Alex replied with a crooked smirk, “it feels so unreal. Like we’re about to wake up and realize this is all a dream.”
Kyle laughed and threw an arm around Damian’s shoulders. “I won’t lie, we came, we saw, and we....”
“Conquered,” they all finished together, bursting into laughter.
Dana stopped walking and turned to face them. “So what’s the plan now?”
Damian raised an eyebrow and shot her a teasing look. “Seriously? You’re asking us that question?”
Dana laughed, but something warm and nervous fluttered in her chest.
Before she could say anything else, the loudspeakers crackled to life.
“Attention everyone,” the announcer’s voice echoed across the academy grounds. “We proudly announce the graduation of the Class of 2025 from Archlight Academy.”
The moment the words settled, the crowd erupted.
Cheers filled the air as graduating students tossed their caps into the sky, laughter mixing with tears. Parents rushed forward, embracing their children, pride written clearly on their faces.
It was a beautiful moment, one that marked endings and beginnings all at once.
Among the parents stood Mr. and Mrs. Frost.
Though Zade was no longer alive, they had come for Damian.
The Frosts had opened their hearts to him, treating him as their own son, loving him unconditionally, as if trying to mend the space Zade’s death had left behind. Damian felt it deeply, even if words could never express it.
That day, Archlight Academy didn’t just celebrate graduation.
It celebrated survival, growth, and hope.
\---------------------------
A few days later, the academy filled with farewells.
Suitcases lined the hallways as senior students prepared to return to their packs, carrying certificates and memories that would last a lifetime.
Dana dragged her boxes outside her room and paused, staring at the three Grandlakes Alphas standing before her.
“I’m going to miss you,” she said softly, forcing a smile. “All three of you.”
Alex frowned, planting his hands on his hips. “What do you mean you’ll miss us?”
Dana blinked, confused by his tone.
Damian stepped forward, his voice calm but filled with certainty. “Dana, since we’re fated to you, we decided it’s time.”
Kyle nodded. “It’s time we meet your parents.”
“What?” Dana shouted, covering her mouth with both hands.
Her heart filled with fear, excitement, and disbelief crashing together all at once.
\----------------------------
Dana had defeated every odd stacked against her.
Despite pain, loss, betrayal, and impossible choices, she stood firm in her destiny.
Taking a deep breath, she led the three Grandlakes Alphas to her parents home.
At first, her father was unwelcoming. His eyes held fear more than anger, a fear rooted in prophecy and ancient truths he wished he could change. He knew about the power Dana had from the onset. He knew about the destiny carved into her fate long before she was born.
He had tried to stop it, not because he doubted her strength, but because he feared losing her.
Even the Moon Priestess had attempted to interfere.
But destiny could not be denied.
Guided by love and bound by fate, Dana finally completed the sacred bond.
She mated with the three Grandlakes Alphas.
The moment the bond sealed, the mark on her arm glowed, and the prophecy reached its fulfillment.
Dana became the Alpha Queen.
\-----------------------------
When Valor heard the news, disbelief consumed him.
He had been hiding in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to attack Dana and activate his hybrid powers. But fate moved faster than he ever expected.
Enraged, he stormed toward their pack, convinced he could still destroy them.
But what chance did he have?
Three Grandlakes Alphas, fated to one Alpha Queen.
Valor finally met his Waterloo.
He never activated his hybrid power, he died in the very act of trying.
\------------------------
Dana, Damian, Kyle, and Alex became legends.
Their story was recorded in ancient texts, studied in libraries where young wolves spent days and nights reading about love, sacrifice, and destiny.
A love story unlike any other in wolf history.
And so, their chapter ended, not with sorrow, but with hope.
Because even after loss, life continues.
And love always finds its way.
The End
