The leader of the group 297

Epilogue

–LIA’S POV–

We stared up at the sky, hearts beating in sync, bodies tangled in each other.

Zane had one hand laced with mine, his other arm wrapped around me, fingers gently caressing my protruding stomach.

We’d gotten the gender today.

Our room at the pack house was decorated in blue balloons, blue banners and blue garlands. Sapphire and Warner’s twin daughters–Hayden and Diana Hale–had spread magical blue sparkles onto the entire floor for us. They seemed more excited than we were to welcome a younger friend to play with. Aaron and Sheila’s children, Gia and Kade, were nearly seven and nine years old, considering themselves too cool to play with toddlers. They still had Ajax to entertain them, but he’d only recently gotten engaged to Tina, all his time now spent rejoicing and admiring her.

His name would be Sean Adams, the future Alpha of our pack, and the love of both our lives.

I’d thought there was no one in this world who could mean more to me than Zane.

growing inside me.

I’d give up my life, set the entire world on fire, and destroy everything in my path to protect him.

And I hadn’t even held him yet.

“Isn’t it weird?” I asked softly, turning my head to glance at him. “I thought I couldn’t love anyone more than I love you. But

now…”

Zane chuckled, nudging his nose against my cheek. “You’re just saying this until he’s a teenager. After that, you’re gonna be back to loving me the most in the world.”

I smiled. “I don’t know, Zane.”

“You’ll see,” he murmured against my ear, his lips tracing my skin.

I sighed, glancing up at the infinite sky again.

The moon shone down on us, silver and bright, a reminder that she was there to watch over us.

When John passed away, the sky had been dark for a month.

We almost freaked out, afraid she wouldn’t go back.

But then she reappeared up there, with a new star always shining beside her.

Their love was eternal, just like they both had wanted.

Zane propped himself up on his elbow, turning towards me.

I gazed into his blue eyes, my chest warm, heart full with love and peace.

He unlinked our hands to cup my cheek, and leaned in, pressing his lips against mine.

I kissed him back, eyes fluttering closed, the warmth in my chest spreading everywhere else too.

“You know,” he whispered when he pulled away, “I now have everything I ever wanted, Lia. And it all revolves around you. If I never met you, if you chose Blake–”

“Ew,” I grumbled, cutting him off. “Don’t say that. He’s happily married to Caitlyn and they have a daughter on the way.” The rightful source is find⦿novel.net

Zane smiled. “They’re naming her Heather, right?”

I nodded. “Yeah. It’s pretty.”

“You should talk to your mother,” he said. “Tell her not to

complicate our son’s life like she did ours. Give him one mate, and give his mate only one mate too.”

I laughed. “Yeah, she won’t do this to him. That was only for

me.”

“I was the one whose patience was tested, love. Not you.”

“You deserved it a little bit.” I grinned. “You were so mean to me

before that.”

He smiled sheepishly. “I’m sorry, my love.”

“I’m kidding,” I chuckled, leaning up and kissing him again. My eyelids started to feel heavy as we made out, and despite my efforts to stay awake, I couldn’t fight it any longer. Pregnancy hormones, probably. “Zane,” I whispered as he licked the new mark he gave me a night ago.

“Hmm?” he asked softly, hands slipping under my clothes.

“I want to sleep,” I said gently. “Is that okay?”

Zane laughed, withdrawing his hands and pulling away from my neck. “Of course, baby. I knew you were about to say it.”

“Sorry,” I muttered.

“Shh.” He pressed a finger to my lips. “Your rest is the most

important thing. Go to sleep, and never feel guilty about it.”

I smiled. “I’m so lucky to have you. Christy always talks about Nathan keeping her up every night.”

Zane shrugged. “The difference between humans and werewolves, love.”

I giggled. “I don’t think she minds it.”

“Good for her, then,” Zane chuckled. “Okay, close your eyes. Enough talking. Time to sleep.”

He pressed one last kiss to my lips, and then to my forehead, before switching the lights off.

A/N: Thank you so much for reading until the last chapter. I cannot believe this is over. I have laughed, blushed and cried with these characters for the last six months. Thank you for all the love and support. It means the world to me.
