Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley)

Epilogue 2 Epilogue 2

Thane and I returned back to the Nightshade pack. I couldn't stay at the Raven Clan pack even a bit longer. I couldn't look into Gabriel's face and see how shattered he was. Mother had broken his heart, not just his' but the whole pack's, and all she left was a letter. No one deserved that treatment, and yet, there was nothing I could do

about it.

"So she ran away with the warlock?" Thane asked.

"Seem so. I had checked his place; he burnt the whole building to the ground, possibly because he hated the house or maybe..."

"He wanted to start afresh." Thane completed.

"Yes, I can't trace him; he is gone and maybe... I don't want to find him. My mother says she would visit to see Ethan, but that could be in months or even years."

There was a knock on the door. It was Meredith; she had Ethan in her arms.

"Your son is well and healthy." She said before passing him to me. I held him in my hands; he had grown considerably, and he stared at me with big blue eyes, and in that moment I fell in love with the little creature. I might never be able to have another child, but I was grateful that I got Ethan.

I passed him to Thane, and he had the very same look of awe in his eyes. We were a family; even after everything, we stood together.

It was late in the night when I rose from bed. I looked to my side, surprised Thane wasn't in bed. When did he leave?

I walked to the crib Ethan had been placed in. He was still asleep; I rocked the crib gently, and that's when I perceived the scent. Delicious, beautiful scent of... blood.

I hadn't taken my daily dose of blood, it had skipped my mind. I stared at Ethan. His heart pounded softly, he was full of... life.

This was wrong, it was so wrong, and yet I wanted a taste. A taste of my own son. I picked him up from his crib, tears streaming down my eyes. I could feel my fangs dig out of my gum and then...

I awoke with a start, my body drenched in sweat. Thane was awake too; he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into his chest.

"It's just a nightmare," he whispered, but it felt so real. I looked at Ethan's crib and saw him still there, still asleep.

It was just a dream I repeated to myself, and yet, I knew it was more than that; it was a warning.

The End.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Hello, Emmy Squad!

We've reached the end of Book 2: The Lycan's Curse, and I want to thank you for the incredible love and support.

Epilogue 2

Writing this book and reading your comments has been an amazing journey, and I'm so grateful to have shared it with you.

But don't worry-this is only the end of this book. I'm thrilled to announce there will be a Book 3: The Warrior Luna!

If you enjoy strong female leads and dark, steamy romance, you're in for an unforgettable ride. While it can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the series in this order:

1. Contractually Yours, Alpha

2. The Lycan's Curse

3. The Warrior Luna

Don't forget to leave your gems and reviews-I absolutely love reading them! Your feedback helps us reach more readers and makes all the difference.

With love,

XOXO
