Chapter 56 - Epilogue

Four Years Later....

Zara's POV

Lying down in the grass, I closed my eyes and allowing the sun to soak my skin. It was a very calming feeling. There was absolutely nothing that could interrupt my---

"Mommy!" a cry came from a few feet from me. Opening my eyes, I saw my little girl running towards me, tears running down her face. I stretched out my arms and prepared myself for her to jump in my arms.

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" 

"Zay...Zayden...don't...want...to...share...toys," she said through her tears. 

"So, why don't you play with your toys, baby?"

"But...I...want...red...dolly," 

Hayden came up behind her with an arm behind him, "Hey, Hera, sweetie." She looked up through her tears as she hiccupped, "Guess what I got you?"

She looked up at him with her lips pouted, "What?" Hayden pulled his hand from behind his back, revealing a chocolate ice cream- Hera's favourite.

"Cocolate!" she squealed then jumped from my hands and to Hayden. He bent down and gave her the ice-cream then he wiped her tears from her face.

"Feeling better now baby?" he asked her. She nodded with a huge grin on her face then ran back to the house. She probably went to show off to Zayden. 

My two babies.

"Well, what about me?" Hayden mumbled when he sat beside me.

I rolled my eyes, "My three babies."

"That's my girl," then his lips found mine. His scent wrapped around me. I could never get use to his touch. His arms found their way around my waist, and I followed his trend wrapping mine around his neck. 

"I'm really glad you forgave me," he murmured against my lips. I smiled and gave him a peck.

"Yeah, me too,"

Flashback

Two Years Before...

 Mystery Girl's POV

"Yeah, give me a second, I hear my phone," I said running into the other room. I could hear Zara's fainted laughter as I exited. Tossing my blonde hair over my shoulder, I picked up my phone without even looking who is was.

"Hello?" I asked happiness leaking through my voice.

"I see you're all chocolates and candies now," a cold voice rang through the phone making me freeze. I thought I was done with this now, I thought it was truly over. 

"What do you want?" I asked him, my tone of voice instantly changing. 

"So I heard your pack killed my father," he starts, "you better tell them to watch their back."

"You have nothing to come at me with, so just stop making threats you know you won't keep."

"Oh, so you've earned a smart mouth," he said then chuckled evilly, "are you forgetting I have something of yours." Then in the background, I hear a muffled scream.

"Carlos, I swear to God," I willed my voice to come out normal.

"It's time for you to realize that I have all the power over you, my little flower. Do you really think that is where you belong? When they find out what you did, they will want nothing to do with you. I own you, just as I own your mother," then the line went dead. Oh God...

I have to leave.

I have to save my mother.

 Before they find out. 

I sob reaches my throat and I bring my hand up to cover my mouth. I can't. I can't do this to them; to James. He is my life. 

"Lilly, I can't---whoa, baby what's wrong?" he asked rushing over to my side. I throw my arms around him and sob in his chest.

"Baby, what's wrong?" 

"He...he..."

"He who? What's going on?" 

"He's gonna...hurt my...mom," I whispered.

"Who?"

"Mark," I said in a whisper, my voice coated with fear.

"Who is that?" he asked.

"Carlos' beta. He...he's going to kill her, James," then I sobbed harder in his chest as I prayed for my dear mother's life.

End of Flashback

..................................................................................

"Aren't you all excited?!" Jenna squealed. Jonah rolled his eyes behind her. Four years on her and she still hasn't changed. I chuckled at her and shook my head.

"It's just a party, Jenna," Jonah stated. She stopped smiling and looked at him with a death glare.

"Is this stomach, just a stomach? Doesn't it have meaning?" she asked making Jonah freeze. 

"Uhh...no...I mean, yes it does! It makes you look great,"

"Are you saying that I'm fat?!" she shrieked. 

"No, no! I didn't say that. Jenna...Jenna....Jenna!" he shouted after her but she disappeared around the corner, "How did she get that I was calling her fat from that sentence?"

I laughed, "Don't worry, it's her pregnancy hormones. It'll be over before you know it." He grumbled then ran in the direction of Jenna. Poor soul...

"Hey Zara," Natalya greeted as she came up, Bryon behind her.

 "Hey girl," I greeted with a smile as I hugged her. Everyone was coming for the annual pack dinner. Conveniently, it was hosted by the Triton Kings this year, so we were all going to be here.

"Where are Brytalya and Nyon?" I asked her.

"Nyon went to the bathroom with Danielle and Brytalya ran off to find Zayden," she answered, "it's so cute how they get along." I wonder...

"Yeah, suppose..." I trailed off looking at her with the same looked she was giving me.

"Oh no you don't. Don't start thinking like that again," Bryon said.

"Like what?" Nat asked innocently.

He narrowed his eyes, "you know what."

"But come on, its a...there can be a slight possibility!"

"No, Natalya, I don't exactly want to kick Hayden's ass for his son's behaviour. She won't be thinking about boys until she's thirty," Bryon said making Hayden laugh.

"Oh really now," Hayden said and Bryon sent a glare his way.

"Anyway, let's not focus on that," I interrupted their bickering. I heard Abigale calling us to help so we all walked over towards her, Hayden's arm around me.

.........................................................................................

 The dinner absolutely fabulous. The food was great and I'm sure we all had fun. Lucas and Maddison had left already, Maddison said she was tired and Natalya and Bryon were just about leaving.

"Mommy, I don't leave!" shrieked Brytalya, "please, me...stay mommy."

Natalya sighed, "We have to go, Brytalya." She pouted and turned to Bryon, who groaned and closed his eyes.

"I swear she got those puppy dog eyes from Natalya," he muttered then looked back at her.

"Mommy says we have to leave okay," he told her softly, "Your brother is already asleep, and we have to go." She pouted even more then nodded sadly.

"Can I come back tomorrow?" she asked hopefully.

"We'll see when we go home, but you'll have to be a very good little girl, okay,"

"Okay!" she said then ran outside, I chuckled at her behaviour then gave my goodbyes to Natalya and Bryon once again. Once they left, everyone went to the back to clean up. Hayden's arms went around my waist as I tried to get away.

"You know I love you, right?"

"Yes Hayden, as do I," I whispered as I turned in his arms. My arms enveloped in his neck and I placed my head in the crook of his neck.

"I will always love you," he whispered in my ear, and then he bit it. I giggled and my arms tightened involuntarily.

"Well, I guess I will have to love you too now," I stated.

"Most definitely," he muttered then pecked my lips.

"So, what you're saying is that you force me to love you?"

"You have to love me, come on...I'm awesome,"

I rolled my eyes, "I'll love you...but it's definitely...unwilling."

"Unwillingly, you love me...but willingly, you know you do,"

"That doesn't even make any sense," I said to him, my breath hitching as he kissed down my neck. His hands travelled down to my ass, gripping it so I was pulled towards him. Moaning, my hands twisted in his hair.

"I love you," he said.

"I love you too," I told him then brought his lips to mine.

And I will always love you...

Forever.
