ROSE
Five years later.
“Antonio,” I call when he runs fast out of nowhere.
“Daddy." I hear Bella, our daughter, call out and begin running, too.
I look out from the kitchen and see Enzo and smile.
“Hey,” I say, and I see both our kids running into his arms, and he catches them both.
“Hey, baby. Hello, my puppies. He says shaking them both for fun.
“Noah says Madeleine is due anytime.” He says and just smiles.
“It is exciting, seeing them get their first pup. But I bet she was nervous. I was. Lunch is ready.” I say and go back to put the food on the table.
Five years ago when they went to France, it wasn't good. The pack they had seen the houses, it was all destroyed and burned down. They searched for days before they found Alpha Louis and his family hiding in a cave.
But no one expected that they would find them because Noah could feel something. But when they found them Noah and Madeleine ran to each other's arms whispering “Mate.”
Madeleine was Noah’s second chance.
All that sat the wheels in motion. Noah marked Madeleine fast the same night, and fast they agreed to wait for the last step to complete the matebond. They had spent weeks searching for those alive, that had not already gotten to one of the other packs. But they only found like fifty, to seventy packmembers that had found hiding spots, too.
As Madeleine now was Noah’s mate, they all knew that she would be leaving to live with him. But the rest of her family, after what happened, had a hard time knowing she would go. But then Noah gave him and the rest of their pack an offer to come live in our pack.
After having talked about it, they all said yes to going here, where they could start a new life.
“What are you sorry about,” I ask him.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” He asks and I look at him.
“I wanted to be sure this time,” I tell him and he kisses me passionately.
“I love you, Rose, with all my heart and soul.” He whispers.
“I love you too, Enzo, With all my heart and soul,” I whisper back.
I looked at Enzo, who had begun playing with Antonio and Bella and caressed my tummy. I couldn’t help thinking that my life was finally what it should have been my whole life. Don’t get me wrong, Dad and Mom, gave me the best childhood, a safe home with a lot of love. But this is different and I feel that I finally am and have everything I ever wished for, but thought I would never have.
Our second chance for my Dad and Noah has been our happiness and pure, true love. And I know we all feel the same way.
