《My Rejected Mate》Epilogue
Advertisement
I stared down at Elliot's sleeping figure. Doesn't he just look very peaceful while I'm here suffering from this massive baby bump on my stomach. I sat on the side of the bed and started to poke at his cheek on purpose. His eyebrows furrowed before he completely opened his eyes. Elliot looked confused for a moment before he sat up slowly and kissed my forehead.
"How's the babies?" He asked as his hand rested on my stomach.
"They're very feisty that's for sure." I sighed out and laid on my back. Yes you heard right babies, I'm having twins. This is basically Toby and Jay all over again. I knew we had the twin gene but Jesus Christ I thought it wouldn't even be me.
I stared up at the ceiling while Elliot massaged my legs which felt really great. It's been 8 years since high school now and 3 years since college. Everything changed so quickly, very quickly. Elliot took over the pack 2 years ago and is now an official alpha. I became a Luna, and surprisingly I've been doing well so far.
We decided last year we should have kids. I was the one that brought it up actually. Elliot said he'll wait for me whenever I was ready. So then last year at of nowhere at like 10 pm while we were drinking wine, I simply said "Let's have some kids."
Now here I am, about to be due soon. Werewolf pregnancy are shorter than humans, so these babies are growing fast. Do you know how much my back hurts on a daily basis or how much I have to use the bathroom?
Mother's are sure incredible.
We got out of the bed and got ready for the day. I haven't really left the pack and I've been surrounded by more guards for my safety. I can't exactly fight back when I got humans growing inside of me. Not only that Elliot has been way more protective and possessive too once it was confirmed I was pregnant. Hell we didn't even let anyone know unless they were immediate family just in case. You know who else have been very protective too.
Nyx.
"Where's my babies!" Speak of the devil, I walked down the stairs and there stood Nyx in her whole glory. Elliot and her been tag teaming as watchdogs. I feel like I have no privacy whatsoever now.
"Nyx keep it down, I am tired." I hushed her.
"Right right, sorry." Nyx gave me a soft smile.
"She's crazy as ever." David popped his head out of the kitchen with a piece of toast in his hand.
"Things never change." I shook my head and entered the kitchen. David handed me a plate of food and I happily ate.

David is now 15 years old, he shifted when he was 11 years old. He's grown up a lot and I mean a lot. He's tall, too tall for my liking. He's almost Elliot's height and Elliot is 6 ft. While I'm 5'6, I miss when he was short and small. Now he's a teenager who thinks he's super cool. Kudos to him I guess. He lives with me and Elliot, we practically adopted him. He was basically our son, and I won't lie he was a very good experiment to see if I can handle kids. Let's say it's been very successful.
Now that he's 15 he's been training with the pack warriors since once he turned 20, we all agreed he will take over his former pack. Right now it's temporarily merged with Elliot's until he comes of age and learn to be an alpha.
"David you were so cute when you were young, now you're a brute." Nyx scoffed. David rolled his eyes but nonetheless there was a little blush on his cheeks. Yes David has a little crush on Nyx, it's so evident. He knows it would never happen, but he likes having the feeling of having a crush.
Boys are weird.
"Thanks Nyx, I feel the love." David said sarcastically.
"You two better not argue." Elliot said as he walked into the kitchen.
"If we start arguing, she's the one who would've started it." David mumbled.
"Unlike the little pup, I don't start fights. I finish them." Nyx flicked his forehead and he scoffed.
I think they rather have a love hate relationship.
"You two better behave, I will be giving birth in a week. Maybe less who knows what the babies want. So no arguing, best behavior only." I warned them with a low voice and they nodded their heads quietly.
God please let me have a peaceful delivery.
-9 Years Later-
Now let me tell you having three kids is hard.
After we had our third one, we said that's a wrap literally. We;'ve never been so exhausted, running a pack is way easier than raising kids. The constant worry if they are healthy, they're so easy to break. You can poke them and they will break a bone. Ok I am exaggerating but you get the point.
"Mom Aj took my toy!"
"You took my candy Ally!"
"Mommy stop them!" Little arms wrapped around my leg and I looked down to see my youngest with tears ready to spill out of her eyes. I sighed out and picked her up holding her in my arms.
"You two stop it now." The two twins froze in their spot and slowly faced me with terrified smiles.
"The mother bear is out." Ally whispered to Aj.

"I know...Run!" Aj yelled out and the two little devils ran away upstairs. I would chase after them but I have one in my arms ready to cry.
Maybe I should introduce my kids.
Aj is the oldest, very cocky about his brain. Like this kid is extremely smart and not only that he looks exactly like Elliot it's kind of scary. They pretty much act the same too, the same mannerisms and all. Though he may fight with Ally a lot he does deeply care for her.
Then there's Ally, she likes me but worse. You thought I was fierce this girl is on a whole another level. She has no fear at all, she would jump out of a window for fun if she could. Not only that she has quite the sharp mouth, her comebacks are clever.
Now Aria is different. She younger by 2 years and is the gentlest girl I've ever known. Shy and very quiet, but very sensitive. She get's babied a lot by all of us because she's literally so soft. Not only that Aj and Ally are extremely protective of her...like extremely.
There was this one incident at school. A boy was picking on Aria and we didn't know about it. She wouldn't tell us anything at all, until one day this boy pushed her off the swing. When Ally and Aj heard about that, the very next day that kid literally got attacked by the twins. I'm happy he didn't need to go to the hospital but he did sustain some injuries. I scolded them because you can't just beat up people, they're too young for that.
That's what I'm here for, I beat up people.
Now I didn't beat up of the kid parents but I sure gave them a very good warning about teaching their kid about kindness. After that she was never bullied ever again.
"Everything is fine Aria. Don't cry." I said as I wiped her eyes and she nodded her head. Her little arms wrapped around my arms and I patted her back. I looked up at the top of the stairs and saw Ally and Aj poking their heads from the railing.
"You guys want ice cream?" I asked.
"Yes mom!"
*****
I stared at my three children in their school uniform. I see some dried up blood on Ally and Aj's. Aria on the other hand is squeaky clean. I crossed my arms over my chest and eyed the two with fiery eyes.
"Who did you fight?" I asked.
"Some kids." Ally muttered.
"Why?" I asked.
"One of them were hitting on Aria, it was digesting. He was practically forcing himself on her. What's worse he's our age!" Aj snapped.
Teenagers rage I tell you. The 2 of them being 16 is not helping it.
I ran my hands through my head and nodded my head. Ok I give them that, but it seemed like they nearly murdered the boy. I will be expecting some complaints for parents. It's ok Cassie this isn't the first time.
"Mom don't be mad at them please." Aria smiled at me and I suddenly felt an arm thrown over my shoulder.
"Right don't be mad at them, I say you should praise them. The fight was out of this world." Nyx said cockily. I faced her with a serious look and her eyes widen in fear.
"You saw it and didn't stop it?" I asked.
"To be fair the boy deserved it." Nyx threw her hands up in the air and I was about to nearly attack her until someone held me back.
"Cassie let's calm down."Elliot held me back and I started to kick the air. I just need to kick her once I tell you, just once.
"Always causing trouble huh?" David laughed as he walk through the door holding some groceries. I guess the two of them went to the store together.
"What's up Uncle David." Aj greeted him and walked up to him. David kind of towered over Aj, he surpassed Elliot'e height. A whopping 6'3.
David is now 23 and he officially became the alpha of his own pack. With the help from Elliot, Toby and Jay he became a great leader. Not only that he met his mate when he turned 18, and the two of them are cute as ever. Her name is Kyrie, a very smart and sweet girl.
"I see you two got into a fight again." David looked at Aj's uniform and he nodded his head happily.
"We had no choice." Ally said.
I let out a deep sighed and leaned against Elliot, I looked up with the eyes screaming help. Elliot nodded his head and wrapped his arms around my shoulders.
"Kids look I know family is everything, but let's tone down the violence. Can't you see your mom is suffering." Elliot spoke.
"I agree, I can take care of myself." Aria nodded her head agreeing with him. However all of our eyes landed on Aria. She noticed quickly and her head titled to the side confused.
"Aria, you know I love you right, but you can't even hurt a fly. You refuse too, so how will you fight back." Ally said as she ruffled her hair.
"Ah you're right!" Aria cried out. With that we all started laughing.
This family may be very chaotic and got some uncontrollable kids, but I would never trade them over the world. Ever.
My rejected mate

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.
