《Waindale》Epilogue

"I never thought this day would end," Vivianne groans.
I glance at her as we walk down the hallway—her, Imogen, and I all heading toward the main doors of the academy. "I got so used to doing nothing over winter break that even putting on my uniform took it out of me," Imogen says. "So how about we go to the diner and celebrate our first day back? I'm thinking burgers, fries, milkshakes—"
"Sorry, I can't," I say. "Adam is waiting for me."
"Out front? Right now?" Vivianne asks.
"Yeah. He should be out there."
She frowns. "What about girl time? You pretty much disappeared the entire break and came back suddenly one of us, now—"
"I already explained all of that."
"Yeah, yeah," Imogen waves me off, "the moon goddess changed you, we know."
"How can you say it so casually?" Vivianne questions her.
She shrugs. "I just believe it. I mean, why would the moon goddess mate a human to an Alpha if she wasn't planning on changing her eventually? That'd just be cruel."
"That's funny because I remember you guys trying to convince me that my humanness was just fine."
"What were we supposed to say? You're being human didn't make any sense at all," Imogen says and skips to the doors. She peers out the windows at the top, standing on her tippy-toes, then says, "Yup. He's there."
Vivianne sighs. "I just can't believe she came to you. I can't believe you looked her in the face. I can't believe you're one of us."
"I don't blame you. It was all very sudden."
"Do you think you'll ever tell your mom and grandma?" She asks.
My shoulders drop. "I don't know," I admit. "Maybe someday, just not now."

Imogen suggests, "Tell her when the time feels right, but if it never does, it never does. Just don't surprise attack her with it like Viv did to you."
"It didn't surprise attack her."
"You shifted at me and I screamed," I recall. "I felt pretty surprised and very attacked."
She shoves me a little and I look out the window as well, seeing his truck. "Well, you best not keep the Alpha waiting."
"Are we still meeting with Eli and Iris this weekend?"
"I'm pretty sure," she says.
"You know what, I don't mind the girl," Imogen announces. "She seems to be doing pretty well here for a rogue-turned-pack-member. She's in my science class and she always shares her snacks."
"I'm sure she's nice," I agree.
Vivianne tells us, "Elara seems to be doing okay too. I talked to her last night and she sounded excited about school. She said that there's a guy she's talking to and they have a class together."
I smile. "That's good to hear."
Together we push through the doors and make our way down the front steps. "Alright," Vivianne says, "we'll catch ya later. Have fun with your Luna business."
"Oh, you know, just a bit of self-defense today. I'm still getting used to the technicalities of fighting-off possible threats as a giant wolf. I may be his mate, but Adam is very serious about me learning to protect myself."
"He should be. Now that it's official—you're the pack's Luna—people may come after you. You can't trust strangers. Anyone could have ulterior motives."
"I'll keep that in mind," I say. "I'll see you guys tomorrow."
We cast each other off with final waves before I swing open the passenger door and see Adam's pretty face. I climb into my seat and turn to him.

"Ready to go?" He asks.
"Only if you promise to be nicer this time."
He shakes his head. "If someone is trying to hurt you, they won't be nice about it."
"Fine, but I want to play that game afterward where you chase me. You may be stronger, but, I don't know, Adam, I think I'm faster than you."
"We'll just have to see about that," he says and pulls out of the academy lot. "But I was thinking that maybe your family could come for dinner one night. My mother still wants to meet them, you know."
"I know. I'll call or something. I'm sure my mom would be happy to meet your parents."
We drive for a little while in silence before Adam says, "I've noticed that you're sleeping more soundly. Have the nightmares—"
"They're getting better. Not so frequent, so real."
"Good," he peers over. "That's good."
"They'll stop eventually. One day, I won't even think about him anymore. He'll be nothing but a forgotten memory."
Adam grabs my hand and I hold his with both of mine.
"He'll be nothing," I murmur.

Hello!
I hope this little part helped wrap things up even more. I'm sad to see this story end, but at the same time, I'm so happy to see it finally completed. It's my longest story so far, and I've been writing it for a while now, so I'm feeling very proud of myself.
I hope with all of my heart that you all enjoyed the read. And I can't thank you enough for reading through and supporting me along the way.
And of course, if you're now looking for something new to read, I have plenty of other werewolf stories and teen fiction stories that are completed and one in progress. Be sure to check them out and maybe consider giving me a follow. I'm always putting out new stuff.
Thanks again!!!

The Stormcrow Cycle
Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay? The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination. Tags or genres for each book: The Exile: romance, slice-of-life The Lion: romance, slice-of-life, politics Abomination: tragedy, high/epic fantasy (aka "Everything is on fire!") Updates once a week whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return! Excerpt: She looked down at him again. Young. Healthy, from what she could see, except for the wound that was killing him. He was handsome in a way that suggested a life of wealth and plenty. She did not think he had ever starved. Someone important. Her shadow fell across him, and he frowned. Blearily, he opened his eyes. They were amber and bright, even as he lay dying in the dirt. She could feel his soul, blazing inside of him like a fire refusing to die even as his body began to fail. He met her gaze, eyes widening in what she guessed was surprise—or shock. But he never looked away, staring up at her as though transfixed. Ba’an made her decision. She raised her hand and covered his eyes. In another moment, a murder of crows cawed as they took wing. The man and woman were gone from the road, leaving only the dead staring up into the sky. Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!
