Chapter 88 Epilogue
“She’s beautiful”, Serah smiled.
“I know and I love her name even more, Ariane”, Brian chuckled.
It’s been six months since the battle with Wilfred and six months since little Ariane was born. Ever since that day, Brian was thankful that he had succeeded in the battle even when it seemed as if he wouldn’t. He had successfully switched off the timer at the last minute, saving his entire race which was at the brink of extinction.
“Are Jack and Killian recovering well?”, Serah asked.
She placed their infant child on the crib, petting her as they watched her fall asleep. They made their way out of the nursery towards the living room where they could talk without disturbing their daughter.
“Yes, they are. They’re still in Russia where they’ll need to undergo another surgery but I’m hoping for their swift recovery”, Brian said.
After the battle with Wilfred, his friends had nearly died from the wounds they sustained during the battle. Killian’s was worse because one of his veins were punctured.
“Okay. Don’t think about it so much love, they’ll be fine”, Serah smiled.
She gripped his hands, giving it a gentle squeeze as she silently reassured him that everything would be fine. They had been through a lot and it was just a testament of their love and dedication towards each other.
“Any news on professor Handel’s wife?”, Serah asked.
“As of now, no. She’s still on the run but we hope to find her soon. She can’t run forever, we’ll surely get her”, Brian assured her.
“Thank you and thank you for being strong even when the situation didn’t warrant it”, Serah smiled.
She kissed him lightly, a gentle kiss that left her swooning as her mate gripped her waist possessively.
“I would never leave you Serah, no matter what happens. I’m stuck with you just like you with me and I would never have it any other way”, Brian said.
“To be honest, I’m scared. I don’t want that woman to come back here and hurt any of us, her husband was evil and that same evil runs through her veins”, Serah said.
“You have nothing to fear darling, this whole building is surrounded by my best security team. Even an ant couldn’t even get in here”, Brian said.
“Now, I feel better. You didn’t tell me what happened to the army chief”, Serah said.
“As soon as the battle ended, I made a report to the governor who took it to the President and when the evidences of his crimes were published, he was found guilty. He got dismissed and now, he’s awaiting trial”, Brian said.
Within the space of six months, a lot of things had happened and he was greatful that he and his mate were alive at the end. Throughout his constant battle with Wilfred, Brian had come to learn that patience and determination would take you anywhere. He vividly remembered the words of his father and how he constantly admonished him to always do things with caution. Brian was glad that he hearkened to that advice.
“Stop thinking Brian, it’s been six months since the battle ended. I’m glad that we’re all alive and healthy, that’s all I could ever wish for”, she smiled.
“I can’t stop thinking about what would have happened if I didn’t succeed. What if you died and I never got to see Ariane”, Brian sighed.
Serah gripped his hands, placing a gentle kiss on his palm. She could understand his worry but now, all they needed to do was be greatful to the moon goddess for sparing their lives even when it seemed like they wouldn’t survive.
“We’re alive, Ariane is kicking too. Baby, I think that’s all we should be thankful for”, Serah said.
“I clearly remember the moon goddess’s warnings when all these began. She said I would face a lot of challenges. At a point, I thought it would just be the normal ones associated with being the Alpha but this was far worse than what I expected”, Brian said.
“At a point, do you know I almost came out of hiding. I couldn’t sit back as different thoughts about the battle raged through my mind”, Serah said.
She smiled, resting her head on his shoulder. As they say in comfortable silence, Brian’s phone beeped, indicating he had a call. Swiping the screen, he discovered that the number was a strange one, one he didn’t have stored on his phone.
“Yes”, Brian snapped.
“Apologies sir but I called to inform you that Professor Handel’s wife has been captured”.
“Good, very good. Keep her under close observation until I get there”, Brian said.
“Will do Sir”.
Brian smiled, placing his phone on a nearby table. Serah could see the joy on his face and she wondered what could be the news he had just heard.
“She’s been found”, Brian said.
Serah got up quickly, sitting on the couch to face him. She needed to know if he was joking or serious but from the look on his face, he was serious.
“Oh my gosh! This is good news”, she said.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Tears of joy streamed down her eyes as her heart grew with love for the man who made it his life duty to protect and love her for the rest of their lives.
“It is”, Brian said.
Quick as lightening, Serah straddled his waist as she planted her lips on his, pouring all her warmth and affection into that kiss.
“I think I’m ready to have another child”, Serah said.
Brian’s hands crept inside her clothes, stroking her flushed skin. He loved the way she reacted towards his touch, always ready for him whenever he was.
“I love that idea too but babe, I think we should put that for a later date”, Brian smiled.
“Okay, but this time around, I want twin boys”, Serah chuckled.
“Then I guess we have a lot of work to do”, Brian chuckled.
He placed her gently on the couch, giving her a warm kiss all the way down to her toes. Her body was soft as against his rock hard ones and he knew that he would spend the rest of his life worshipping her.
“We do but you’ll be doing most of the work”, Serah chuckled.
“Why?”, Brian smiled.
He nibbled lightly on her ears, loving the way her body reacted to his touch. She was always so sensitive to him and Brian knew that she was his and his alone.
“Because you’re the father”, Serah laughed.
“And aren’t you the mother?”, Brian grinned.
“I am and I’m your mate”.
Brian chuckled, giving her a gentle kiss. Serah sighed as she wrapped her hands around his neck. This was her home, her safe place and shelter. With him, she could be anything, do anything she liked without fear of him rebuking her.
This was her home and she vowed to spend the rest of her life loving her family.
