Lycan King’s Nemesis

GWEN

Epilogue (A year later.)

“Oh, come on, Henry!” I screamed at the top of my lungs at my son, barreling down the staircase like a hellcat after him as he giggled innocently, unaware of the distress he was causing me.

“My Queen, let me get him.” Kora was behind me, racing after us.

“Don’t worry, Kora, I can do this.”

Just at the last staircase as I was almost rounding on him, out of nowhere, he was swept up from the ground. Increasing his baby chuckles. I think he was having fun out of my misery.

“I guess you have been naughty again,” Tyler crooned to him. The young man unaware of the punishment waiting for him kept giggling mindlessly. I stopped to touch my forehead and let out a frustrated breath. I thought my husband was stubborn, but his child is ten times more. Tyler gave me a pitiful glance. “It’s their time.”

“I guess I wasn’t well prepared for this like I thought.” I twisted to nod at Kora who in turn left immediately. Then I made my way down. “How’s Abby and Caleb?”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“As fine as a fiddle.”

I matched in the direction of my study, threw the door open and went to sit down. I sat in the same position Charlotte used to sit when she was still with us and looked outside. The last time I spoke to her, she was on a world tour, living her childhood dreams.

“We have practice by 4 tomorrow. I came to inform you personally. You missed last week.” Tyler dropped Henry and at once he was already crawling up the chair.

“I will be there, I promise.” I smiled. “Are you okay?” I asked him out of concern. It might have been one year, but still, Tyler hasn’t stopped trying to prove his loyalty to my husband and this Kingdom and it is something I didn’t take for granted. I was glad he was here for Abby and their son and to Ashton for allowing them that chance.

“I am, Gwen. Thanks.” He gave the room a long tour with a side squeeze of his lips. “I will be on my way now.” He made for the door. “Will you be there?”

I flailed my right hand in the air. “Not today. It’s Henry’s day. Isn’t it, Papi?” Henry giggled loudly as though he understood a thing. It caused my stomach to churn watching this little replica of Ashton right before me. “I will see you tomorrow and extend my greeting to the family.”

He left.

I spent my day running after Henry and screaming at the top of my voice. I later went to the temple with him. By the time we returned, he was nuzzled in the arms of a guard solid asleep. That was my only resting time.

I went to take my bath and was drying my hair with a towel as I exited the bathroom I didn’t see the hunk standing in the middle of the room ogling me lustfully. I jumped when I spied him.

“Ash!” I cried. “You startled me.”

He chuckled, a rich baritone of bass. “My bad. I couldn’t resist the sumptuous sight.”

I smiled, dropped the towel and went to him. “How was your day?”

“Very boring. Without you by my side.” I blushed crimson. edr5tfg6

We remained like that for what seemed like an eternity. It was our daily routine each time he was away for almost a day. We could literally not breathe away from each other. It was a mutual effect.

A loud scream through the baby beep had us jumping apart, my eyes darting there at once.

“I have to go to him,” I said, knowing when Heney cried like this, none of his seven nannies would be able to work him down.

“I guess it’s time for our horse ride,” Ashton grunted and followed behind.

We got there to see him raging at the three poor nannies who were all red and obviously didn’t know what to do with him.

“It’s okay, Papi, Dada is here,” I purred, taking him from one of them.

The moment he saw his father, his tears turned to smile, and the next thing he was hauling him over. I shared a look with the nannies. “Go on, we will take it from here.” They were more than glad to- from the way they scurried out fast.

“How about we go for a ride, huh? Three of us?” Ashton asked, burping Henry’s nose with his playfully. The effect was heartwarming.

“Yeeepee!” Henry’s tiny arms flailed in joy.

I guess I had no say in this. The Kings had decided. I merely nodded.

Things had been lovely around here. I could proudly say I found my happy ending with my mate. And our son, he made my life a living hell, but yet, he’s our miracle.

Today I could say, we have come a long way. Things aren’t perfect yet, but every day we take more oaths of progress and put in the work. Ashton even agreed to the acceptance ritual. Despite disliking it.

He finally started his ranching business, and Abby is fully into art. As for me, I was doing great as a Queen, a wife, and a mother.

And I even started accounting classes.

Who could have known there was so much thrill in mathematics?

Thank you for reading my story!

The end.
