Epilogue: Harris and Clair

Harris and Clair

Clair's POV

Yet another beautiful day in the hands of the mate that got my heart for years even though we were separated more than the number of times we were together.

I always loved flowers and Harris had always picked one for me every day, our room had almost turned into a flower shop.

I moved into his hands that were spread and I basked in his warm scent. This smell wasn't something I couldn't get tired of. But this day we weren't in the pack house or the room, we were back to the place where I first smelled him as my mate.

The place where I was sitting when his scent hit me, where I told Keith that I wanted to just have a word with him and probably asked for rejection but no the goddess had a bigger plan for all of us.

My mind flashed to the moment he held my hand and I felt the sparkling, bond I didn't want to let go of and the next thing I did was to smash my lips on him and kiss him like I never did.

It was my first kiss since Keith never kissed me nor touched me in any way, inappropriate even when we were dating and that day, I told myself that Harris was a keeper.

I know I was going to hurt Keith but I didn't want to hurt Harris, if there is anyone I should hurt, he should be Keith not that I want him hurt but in every scale of preference, there is always one item at the top list and that item is Harris, not Keith, so I pick Harris and hope the goddess could grant him, a mate that will stay with him. It wasn't easy for Keith, he felt betrayed and used by me, but Keith being Keith, told me, he was letting me go, he could be ruthless and a handful but I always knew that Keith wasn't a bad person. He was just an egoistic alpha who didn't want to show his weakness.

Just when he told me, he was letting me go so that I could have a happy ever after with Harris disaster struck, I was kidnapped and for years I was fed with wolfsbane to eliminate my wolf. I thought it was over when I could no longer feel my wolf.

When I thought all hope was lost, Mia, the imposter, the girl that looked like me, came, she just couldn't stop talking about a girl called Sara, it pricked my interest, I don't remember her but her name sounded familiar, and she becomes my will power to remember everything that happened to me if Sara is in danger then I should help.

The day, she said she was going to bring me to a galaxy, was the day I recalled everything that had happened to me, in the past six years, I wanted to save my sister and my cousin. The sister, I never met, the sister that my biological father told me about and was hoping to meet her but that day didn't come as well because he was scared of his life and for the both of us. He told me, that he had a little secret about the alpha and his brother.

It's like you knew he was going to die or probably something will happen to me before everything got messy, he just told me where to find the piece of evidence that could be of great help to the alpha son not knowing it would vindicate him and all his pups and when I remember everything.

I cried throughout that night because that Mia of a girl didn't give me breathing space. She fed me with all the pain that my family had gone through and even gave a brief of the reasons she looked like me, this made me more determined to find my sisters and give them the information I knew.

The day, I met my sister, I was looking so fucking scared that I could be mistaken for a mad person but I was glad she was smart enough to make use of the evidence and her actions had saved us all.

"Your beauty never died one bit, just as the moment, I first met you. And you still mesmerized me as always." Harris' deep voice sends warm and shivering into my spine as his lips press on the crown of my head.

"When exactly?" I asked because I knew we were all friends back then, the famous six, and unlike Diamond, his beta, and Lucian, Keith's beta, he wasn't friendly to me.

He giggles before he turns my body to face him, "You don't want to know do you?" He asked his voice husky yet sounding nice and I nodded.

"I want to know but I don't think any need to ask when I know the answer. I guess it was when the mate bond sparked into place." He shakes his head.

"Nah..." My eyes bulge staring at him, waiting for him to confess whatever he had to confess. He lowers his shoulder and his lips closer to my ear. "The day you were at Keith's room drying up your underpants when he asked me to pick something from his room." My lips dropped, I remember that, just yesterday when I walked into Keith's room, he was at school, we are still in college then, I told him, I was tired and that I wanted to rest and he asked that I take his condominium keys and stay there till he returns but the naughty me decide to enjoy a fresh bath, and I ended up taking off my wears. "You think no one saw you?" He asked and I shook my head.

"I knew someone was watching me."

"And you think it's Keith?" I shake my head.

"I know it's not Keith, he will never sneak in on me, and even if I wanted to kiss him, he would look for an excuse to get away from me, so I knew it wasn't him."

"Should I take it as me being the bad guy while Keith is the perfect guy?"

"I don't like the word perfection because I am not perfect and you know that, but goddess, you are one hell of a pervert."

"A grumpy pervert right?"

"No, a sinful pervert." His brows furrow guessing my words didn't follow before he titters.

"It wouldn't be all bad for me to do one wrong even in my lifetime. I know it's a sin, but this sin, I want to go over and over again with it because this sin is the one thing I am proud of. Appreciating the beauty that the goddess created."

"Mmm... Alpha Appreciation..." My brows furrow while I fold my hand under my bosom. "So you wouldn't battered if you see another female strip in front of you because I guess they are also a beauty created by the goddess." His eyes swirl with love and passion for me and they tell me everything that I need to hear. "Ever since that day, I had already fallen for you, unknowingly and I was hoping the goddess would grant me my heart desires."

"Which is?"

"That you become my mate, the female that I could always think of even when I found my second Chance mate. I know I was being unfair to her, but goddess knows I tried to love her and her pup that is my goddaughter." He sighed deeply before his expression softened. "You are that dream and fantasy of mine, that I never thought would come true but yet the goddess was fair to me, and she made you come true. I swear, if ever Zara wasn't my second chance mate, I don't think I would have looked at her even for once."

"Now, you are going to make me cry. Somehow you always make me feel special when I don't think I am." My eyes were already watery.

"You are special even more than my words could describe you. You are beautiful and perfect and yet you want me, to be the one male who has hurt your sister and you still take me in. I never imagined a life like this, with passion and serenity. So many times, I had fallen for someone and that many times, I could hit my chest that I couldn’t lay my life for that someone, but with you, I want to give everything, for you, for our pups, and for all the joy you brought to me. I love you Clair, my Clair, my mate." I couldn't hold my emotions anymore, I smashed my lips on him.

"I love you, Harris, my alpha till my last breath."
