108. Five years later
108. Five years later
Sebastian.
I watch as our family and pack members mingle. There is the air of happiness and joy surrounding the
area. People are chatting, dancing and eating. Children are playing. Everyone is simply having fun and
enjoying Lauren’s birthday party.
It’s been five years and I couldn’t be happier than I already am. Having Red and our children is the best
gift the goddess could have bestowed on me.
I watch as Krystal chases Colton. Both of them were laughing in pure joy and elation. At five years old
Colton is playful and free spirited.
Despite that there is still an undercurrent of his alpha genes. At times it comes out when you least
expect making Red and I believe that he will be strong. Stronger than even me.
We suspect that his Alpha genes are heightened by the fact that he is carrying Fenrir’s genes.
Krystal is now fourteen and she started her training to be the next oracle last year after she shifted. She
now stays with Sylvia but comes home monthly.
Her training is coming along well and she’s come into her powers. We miss her every day she’s not
with us but we understand that her training is necessary.
My eyes immediately shift to my mate. She’s standing a few distance away from me, her eyes on little
Blanca. Lilly’s and Micah’s three year old daughter.
Blanca is talking to her aunt animatedly and Red being the kind woman she is, is listening. Something
most adults wouldn’t bother doing.
I still can’t get over the fact that she’s mine. This beautiful, kind and strong woman is my mate and the
love of my life. She’s perfect in every way and I sometimes wonder why the hell I thought that she
wasn’t my type.
I smirk when I see Jax sneaking behind her right before he wraps his hands around her and gently
being careful of her bump, he lifts her up. Making her squeal at first in horror then in delight.
“You two are so sneaky” she laughs pointing at Blanca and Jax, once he sets her down.
Jax and Blanca laugh. “I needed a distraction and Blanca was perfect for it. We both know Colt isn’t the
most agreeable of children” Jax tells her making Lauren laugh.
I love seeing her happy. The joy radiating from her always fills me with contentment.
I watch as she chats with our son. Now that Blanca has accomplished her mission she runs to the other
kids.
Jax now, fifteen, is towering over his mother. He is five foot eight to his mother’s five foot one. He is
starting to buff up. Every day he works out and I personally train him.
Given he is not of Alpha blood, he won’t be the next Alpha. That position will remain Colton’s.
Red and I had agreed that given his love for everything tech, then he will take over as the CEO of
Ashford Corporation once he’s ready and is done with his studies.
We talked to him and he was ecstatic about the idea. He confided in us that the future had worried him.
He was afraid he would have to take the Alpha position when he really didn’t want to become an Alpha.
We told him the truth this year about his parentage and assured him that he would always be our son.
He was torn up about it but eventually, he let it go after realizing that nothing would change. That he is
our son in every way.
“I love you mom” his voice, now beginning to deepen, brings me out of my thoughts.
“I love you too my boy” she says, rising up to kiss his cheek.
I’m still amazed by the bond those two have. You would never believe that they’re not biologically
related. Anyone who meets them assumes that they’re mother and son. No questions asked.
“What are you thinking about so hard?” her sultry voice penetrates my musings.
I hadn’t even noticed her approaching me.
I immediately wrap my arms around her waist and bring her close to me. I take her lips in a kiss.
Pouring my love and adoration to her through it.
Even after all this time. The sparks between us are still there. Our passion still blazing hot.
“Just thinking about how blessed I am”
And I was truly blessed. I had a mate who I loved and who loved me. The best children anyone can
have. A large extended family and a pack that adored us. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
She smiles at me. “I’m the one that’s blessed”
She rubs her pregnant belly. She’s seven months along and this time we are having twins. A boy and a
girl.
I wanted to argue with her but I know I’ll never win. I just keep it to myself because words can’t even
express how abundantly blessed I am.
Kissing her forehead, we turn to look at our family and pack.
Everyone is present. Claire, Brent and their two boys. Lilly, Micah and Blanca. Luke and his mate,
Becca, who is heavily pregnant. Lucas and Hailey. Both sets of Lauren’s grandparents. Ryan hadn’t
been able to come.
Sheryl was also here but as Hunter’s mate. When he revealed the truth to her and told her what we
were she had taken it better than we expected. Apparently she already knew. She had seen us
transform from wolves that day when Red had been kidnapped from the company’s parking lot.
When we asked her why she didn’t reveal our secret, she said that she was indebted to Lauren for
giving her a chance when no other company would hire her. She also said that she had fallen in love
with Hunter. Now they were mated with a one year old baby boy called Liam.
My eyes move to Mayra. She’s standing next to Darren who had finally gotten his head right. We
weren’t friends and we would never be but we were also not enemies.
I watch as Mayra looks at him with something akin to love in her eyes. Darren on the other hand had no
clue but there was just something in the way he kept throwing glances at her.
“Do you think there is something going on there?” Red asks me and looks at her only to find her staring
at the pair.
“Yeah…my guess is that they’re fucking” I tell her with a smirk.
She swats my chest gasping in horror. “Sebastian! Someone might hear you”
“Well, it’s the truth” I say with a shrug.
“Whether it is or not…I hope they find happiness, either with each other or other people”
I look down at my beautiful mate before pulling her even closer. I do pray that Mayra and Darren get
their happiness. They’re good people and they deserve it.
I pray they find the kind of love that Red and I found. The kind you can’t breathe or exist without the
other. I pray they find someone who loves them like I love Red because I love her more than my own
life. I pray they find the earth shattering kind of love. The kind Red and I shared.
