"Azazel " Fenriz yelled as he saw the bullet pierce through his heart. Fenriz who's shoulder was still bleeding heavily, got up and hugged Azazel who's body was about to hit the ground roughly.

Aira who's eyes didn't even soften at the sight of Azazel just stared at Damon who's eyes were still looking at her obsessively. His breathing was getting slower but he just stared at her as he tried to pick the gun again but couldn't because he was weak. He was helpless.

The way she was once.

Tears of happiness rolled out of her eyes when she sensed him taking his last breaths. She looked at him and giggled mockingly even though her lungs were hurting. She smiled as her nose started bleeding.

"I hate you! "

She muttered before closing her eyes for the greater good.

---

Everything around her was black. She could hear murmurs around her and soft beeping noise too. She opened her eyes to be met with the sight of a hospital room.

It was a miracle how she was still alive.

Wasn't it her end yet. What's happening? Her mind wondered. But the thought of Fenriz stuck her mind and she looked around to see some nurses talking.

She pressed the bell at the bedside to get their attention. Which it did. The nurses came rushing in. Something was odd about them. They weren't tall and skinny like most werewolf females are. She found it odd but shrugged it off.

The nurse rushed in and before the nurse could say anything. Aira asked about Fenriz and the nurse quickly asked her assistant or the other nurse whoever she is to tell Fenriz that Aira was awake.

Aira heaved a sigh of relief. First, she didn't really like him. Still she liked the fact he was blunt, he didn't say something which he won't do. He didnt give her hopes. He was truthful. Most importantly he didn't betray her and that somehow gained him a place in her heart as a friend.

So, she did remember about Azazel being shot but didn't care enough to ask about him. Because, yes she doesn't hate him or hold grudges for him because what he did was because he loved his mum.

But, that doesn't justify his actions. That doesn't justify him leaving her in a room full of pedophiles who stared at her in the most disgusting way possible, that even there one stare could send chills of disgust and uneasiness down your spine.

She could forgive him for everything else but not that. That day, those touches, those eyes, those hands, their hands on her skin.

She can forgive him. But, can't forget it

Within 5 minutes of her thinking she was tackled in a bear hug. She flinched and moved back. It was Fenriz she knew but with all the werewolves being assholes she can't help but maintain a bit of distance.

Fenriz eyes which were sparkling like a baby seeing candy immediately dimmed out but he just gave her a awkward smile and moved back before giving her a smile again.

"Thank God you are okay. I was so worried. You human female always trouble with these weird emotions I have never had." he laughed at his own comment.

Aira didn't really get the humor in it so she just rolled her eyes at him at which Fenriz gasped dramatically.

"Hey you! Human how dare yaa not laugh at my joke" he said with his one hand in the air and other on the chest potraying heart break at which Aira laughed.

Fenriz smile and wide eyes froze hearing her and then he lightly pinched himself and let out a yelp.

"What are you doing? " Aira asked scrunching her eyebrows.

"Checking if this is real? Never knew you could laugh like this"

Aira just shook her head at his childish behavior.

"Uh- I don't know if Umm you know. Nvm, Azazel is awake and he has been asking about you quite a while. He was saved because of his healing powers "

"Why does he care? "

"Because you are his mate" Fenriz said awkwardly. This was awkward. He was ashamed of his best friend's doings but he also knew what he went through. So, he didn't knew which side to pick.

"He didn't really remember that when he left me in that room" she spat coldly and looked away.

"He's sorry" Fenriz said trying to put forward his best friend's defense.

"I forgive him. If that's what you want" Aira said shrugging.

"No--umm- I... You know... Means.. Let it be. I don't know what to say but I just want to say sorry. Please forgive me too. Because, I was wrong too"

She giggled at his awkwardness. Fenriz was a reserved person with no social skills everyone could see it.

"Friends? " Aira said as she put forward her hand. Fenriz looked at her with a weird face.

"I don't know how to be friends with a female"

Aira laughed at him and just hugged him. Then, she asked him about Hriday at which Fenriz surprised her with the news that Hriday was on his way. He was coming to meet her.

Aira was in tears when she saw her baby brother was now so mature. He understood what had happened and how Damon had allured him. He apologized to her at which she shook her head and told him not to blame himself. After all he's still a child.

After talking to him she felt calm. She thanked Fenriz for it crying on his shoulder at which he awkwardly patted her back and said

"Don't cry please. I don't know what to say to crying human females"

At which she laughed

----

Aira asked for a walk alone because it has been long since she felt independent. Since she felt free. Damon died. Her heart couldn't forget what he did and all those memories didn't die. But, her revenge did calm her in a way.

She walked towards the garden of the hospital. The cool breeze flowing through her hair. She felt calm. She walked towards the main corridor through which she wanted to reach Fenriz's room. So she could ask him to accompany her.

There was a television on the wall and few people were listening to the news. It was also quite odd that no one bowed to her. Who cares, maybe because Damon was dead. She wasn't the Luna anymore.

She quietly walked there and stared at the screen where the pictures of that day were showing. But, she was shocked to know that while Damon's army was fighting Azazel's. The she-wolves also thought this was the right time to rebel against and shockingly they had alliance with humans.

And with Damon's whole army fighting with Azazel's. It wasn't hard for the rebels to capture Damon's palace. This all had also caused half of the werewolves to die.

After all this in 3 days they had established a assembly which had both humans and werewolves to decide on the regulations to live in peace and in equality.

Her eyes were filled with tears. It was actually happening. She always dreamt of this day. She always wanted this. She wiped her tears because she felt happy. So happy.

They were going to announce everything after 3 months of discussion. Till then no one is inferior or no one is superior. The treaty was led by Azazel from werewolves side and a human named Kevin from human's side.

Her heart unknowningly ached at the name and she felt Deja Vu listening to the name. She felt like she knew someone named Kevin but she had no memories.

Her head was aching because of this so she just quietly returned to her room still trying to remember who Kevin was and why her heart was beating so loud at his name.

Her thoughts were interrupted as a head nurse who was a old lady with a kind smile entered the room.

"Ms. Aira, good to see you awake. I have checked your pulse and you seem fine. You have to talk to doctor once in the evening. But, I think you'll be discharged soon.

Also, don't worry you are fit and healthy along with your pup"

----

(That's it. She was ready to go back but she was pulled back by a hand and she was surprised to see a girl. The girl handed a chit in her hand. Before, Aira could ask her anything. She was tugged back to a hard chest of Damon. She gulped. )

Chapter 9 reference.

"O mare schimbare ar trebui să rămână secretă"

(A big change should remain a secret)

That's what was written in that chit. She was confused as to what it was. But, nonetheless she unknowningly chanted that spell by saying it loud.

Then, when Fenriz met her, at that time she knew she was pregnant. She didn't want a child that too born out of rape. She despised the child. The child her reminded her of how she cheated on Kevin. Everytime she thought of the child she thought of Kevin and how she betrayed him. She didn't want the child. Especially when everytime she thought about it, she was reminded of the fact that she and Kevin couldn't be together. She hated the child.

She just couldn't understand how other werewolves couldn't smell her pup. It was obvious that she was surviving because of the werewolf. Which is common. After the days of starvation she could've easily died but she still survived because of the child.

That day what she asked Fenriz was that when she kills herself and the baby. She wanted the child to get a proper burial. She hated the child because it reminded her of trauma but it wasn't the child's fault.

She just couldn't bring herself to love a child out of rape. She just couldn't love a beast. A beast of same kind which had snatched her love. Her Kevin.

But, when she met the moon goddess she took away her memories of Kevin. Not because she was cold hearted but because she knew Aira could never love the baby until she forgets about Kevin. Because she knew Aira would always be guilty when she sees the child because the child would remind her of how she betrayed Kevin.

When she told Fenriz about the baby then his heart started changing. He understood his mistakes but again the memories of Baby were vanished after Aira met the moon goddess.

"Aira, my child. I know what I am doing is not fair to you. But, it's for the greater good. This child is what will bring the change "

--

"I am pregnant? "

--

"Can you do something for me instead of sorry" her voice wasn't stuttering but it was incredibly low. If it wasn't for his werewolf genes he wouldn't have heard her.

"I won't help you escape if that's what you want " he muttered his eyes filled with sympathy.

She shook her head

"I want.. "

In this convo she asked Fenriz to bury her child and then basically Fenriz's heart started changing. He saw his mistakes

But, then when Aira met moon goddess she asked for memories of Kevin. Which I explained why. But, she also took away Aira's memories of her being pregnant because Aira doesn't want the child. And this child is what will bring the change.

And remember in Chapter 23 Fenriz helped Aira escaped he was like even I don't know why I am helping you. Yeah, he was helping her because Aira had told him she was pregnant but then the memories of baby were gone but his emotions to protect Aira because she was pregnant (which he didn't know now) didn't change.

Then 2 epilogues. That's it.
