I was Kidnapped for Revenge by a Ruthless Alpha-Chapter 217: Epilogue

~Narrator~

The days after the war were busy, exhausting and full of bustling excitement. As people found out one by one, they were given fated mates. Some found them instantly; others were still waiting.

The news didn’t completely overshadow the loss people were feeling. Though finding a mate helped bare the pain. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The traitors were all dragged out. Stripped naked in front of their previous pack and all of the shifters and vampires, witches that still remained, they were then strung up and hung until dead. Some thought this death was too lenient, but Odette wanted to limit the impact of seeing the SecondMoon Pack’s previous brethren being tortured before death, this was enough.

They needed to heal as a society, not damage and break people more.

Ambrose displayed the head of the rogue king at the front of the pack house gates. A reminder of his power. To the second chance he gave them.

During her fight with Ezelreth, Theoron the rogue king attacked Ambrose, he was seeking to fulfill his revenge against the previous alpha king with his son. But Theoron’s Giant red wolf and even all that dark magic he had, it couldn’t help him defeat Onyx. The first wolf. He was no match for a favorite of the Moon Goddess and the protector of the MoonChild. He tore Theoron’s throat clean from his neck.

The witches that fought returned to their coven. Seeking their own mates once they heard of their gift for their service to the goddess. Some found other witches, some humans. Some even found shifters and vampires for mates. Species intermixing became normal.

Violet and Ash returned home, with their family. The brothers were morning the loss of Gabriel. Vlad had taken charge of Gabriels role in the family business, once more. They held a grand funeral for the loss of one of the pureblooded vampire princes. The people cried. Violet cried the hardest. She felt like a piece of her had died with him. She had a special connection with each brother. When she met them, they were angry broken narcissistic boys. And Violet, she turned them into decent men simply by existing and loving them in a way they’d never been loved.

Unconditionally. Truly. Deeply.

Not long after the funeral and morning period, Ambrose and Odette helped the rogues settle into their new pack. Their name, SecondMoon Pack was named for being the pack of second chances. They would receive finical help from the BloodMoon Pack until they were stable.

The packs had all returned to their homes and perspective territories with their mates and searching for ones who hadn’t been found yet. Intending to heal. They’d made new alliances and forged new pacts with vampires.

New trade routes were developed, and business empires built on mutual respect.

Raven was a mess for weeks. And she was just left with the empty hole in her heart from Ursula’s death. Odette and Violet would visit Raven frequently. One day during a routine check on the rogue pack, one Raven was practically forced to go on, she met him. The new alpha to the rogue pack. Alpha Leo. Their bond snapped in place the minute they shook hands. She ended up moving back to the place she lost everything to rebuild her future with her mate. Fate really was a pain in the ass. It took a lot of adjustment for Raven, and remodeling of the entire pack ground. But eventually things fell into place for her. She started a family with Alpha Leo.

Damon and Emalea enjoyed their lives as fated mates. He doted on her endlessly, and she nurtured him and their love was strong and true, it was built on real emotions before the bond was even there. She became pregnant not long after returning to the pack and marrying Damon. Together they had five children, beta shifters with healing powers. Three boys and two girls.

Hector found his mate in Delilah, giving Delilah a second chance at both love and happiness. Delilah kept Hector on his toes and never gave him a boring day thereafter. They never ended up having kids. And simply enjoyed the children of their friends and family. Hector retired after the war and traveled with Delilah as she drew and painted different versions of the world, and how she she saw things through her eyes. She became a famous artist. Odette Holding the largest collection of Delilah’s work.

Kalvin remained loveless and miserable until his death, never truly accepting the reality. Odette was never his and throne was always Ambrose’s.

The vampires were introduced to the history of their kind by Lilith, on the day of Gabriel’s funeral. They were taught about their god and creator. And there they began praying to him when good things happened, they thanked him for creating them. When their loved ones died, they asked for a smooth passing and a chance at rebirth. Knowing they could have fated mates brought them closer to the gods and to other species. They were truly functioning as a night society.

Over time, Cerberus felt their love. It took him by surprise and when he emerged from his realm, he found Artemis waiting, like she always had been, welcoming him back with open arms. The other gods rejoined their circle. And peace between both the spirit realm and the gods, and the mortal world with the shifters and the vampires.

Odette and Ambrose had a lot of work rebuilding two worlds and raising their children.

Odette came back to find out she was indeed pregnant, not just with one child, but two.

Twins. Together Ambrose and Odette bickered over nursery colors and themes. They argued and made up like a regular couple. Odette was a calm levelheaded Luna. Ambrose was the iron fist that made her will possible.

On the day of her labor, she was eating lunch with Esme and her girlfriend, though not her fated mate, Raven and her alpha husband, Delilah and Hector, and last but not least Emalea and Damon. It was the first time in weeks all the couples had the chance to get together. It was in the middle of dessert when her dress was just suddenly soaked, no warning, no feeling. Just dry one moment and then soaking wet the next.

"Oh my goddess, I think my water broke!" Odette shouted in the restaurant. Everything stilled.

The world around them went completely silent.

Time froze.

"Fuck, let’s go. Emalea, let go. Delilah make the calls to your family. It’s time." Ambrose was fumbling but he quickly recovered and his focus centered.

This was really happening.

"Oh shit, okay, yeah, on it."

They all moved like bats out of hell making moves. Odette planned a natural birth at home. Her mother did it, so could she. They walked through the weygate back home quickly. Labor pressing in fast.

Before they arrived back at the palace the room the set up for her birth was ready. The servants wasted no time when they heard their luna was returning early and was in labor. The tub was filled with herbal water good for healing and soothing pain. Petals for appearances. 18 hours later, surrounded by the people who would live and die for her. Who battled the world with her. She delivered two beautiful babies.

A boy they named Caspian, after the sea and a girl they named Iris after the flower. They had thick moonlight white hair like their mother, but they had their father’s sunlight golden eyes. They were inseparable. They spoke the same words at the same time, almost like they shared a single mind and acted like they shared a single brain cell. What one did the other would follow. They would trade clothes as toddlers, before they started to look different and pulled pranks on the nanny. They were smart, clever and mischievous kids. They only ever listened to their Mimzy, which was the name Violet chose for herself. And Aundie RayRay, when she would visit. She was the cool aunt. The one that covered for them as they got older.

Their first shift was at 10, and like Onyx they had ebony black fur, however instead of gold flakes, they had silver, their eyes a blazing silver that could almost see into the soul of anyone they looked at. They fed on energy just like their mother but shifted just like their father. They were the first of their kind. But they wouldn’t be the last.

Lycans.

Hybrids. They powerful beyond measure, faster than vampires, but stronger than typical shifters. Their magic like all beings was random, some gifted with lightning, others with the ability to learn spells like a witch.

Caspian and Iris were psychics like their mother. Powerful telekinesis and together they had the ability to cross between the worlds.

One day it would be Lycans that would rule over both vampires and shifters, per the alliance.

The gods let the mortal be in peace. No more interfering. They remained in their realm worshipped and adored by the spirits and fae once more.

A lasting era of peace blossomed.

All because a girl was willing to risk it all and proved that love and truth could heal all wounds and break any chain.

The End.

***To my readers. It has been lovely writing this, it started off as just a little project for my horny best friend and has turned into a whole world. I will not be marking the novel complete, I want to go back in and fix my grammar and fill some plot holes some readers pointed out along the way. The sequel "I was Kidnapped for Revenge by a Ruthless Alpha" is the story from Odette and Ambrose’s perspective. It goes further into detail in their relationship. It is still being completed, but you know the ending, don’t you? ***

P.S.

I posted pictures of the children in the comments.
