Epilogue #3
“I thought only one of them was going to be a princess. I was certain that was because one of them was a boy. But we have two princesses.” Lucie sighed as she looked between her daughters. “They are a gift of hope for Elysia.”
“They are the bridge to join the worlds.” Alexa watched as Lucie nodded her head.
“They are the bridge … and your daughter is the key.” Reiya watched as her daughter’s eyes widened.
Alexa looked up at Ken in shock. Of course. That was why the light felt so familiar. That was Alexa’s daughter. That brilliant warm light was hers and Ken’s child. It would be her daughter’s job to merge the worlds together, while Lucie’s daughters were the beacons that would keep them connected.
“I vote in our next life it isn’t our family’s job to save the world.” Justice chuckled as he made his way over to look at his nephew. “Our family deserves a break. Isn’t that right, little guy?”
“After all of this is over, there will be peace. We just have a lot more to go through before we can get to it.” Lita looked over her family and reached her hand out.
A gentle light twinkled in her fingers and embraced the room with its warmth.
“Our family is meant to transcend boundaries. We’re always connected through our energy.
Even those who are gone will never really be gone.
” She smiled as her mother’s energy swirled through the room, embracing everyone in her warmth.
Fairy magic was different from other magic.
It had a life of its own. A powerful, mysterious existence that created a world of its own.
And when a fairy died, they didn’t truly end.
They just existed in another realm, one that was warm and full of light, where they could become the source of energy for the fairy royals. A never-ending cycle of life.
Lita was right. Their family was meant to transcend boundaries … even death.
One year later …
Alexa lay on the ground outside nestled in wild purple flowers. She could hear Mikah’s baby crying all the way out here. She smiled and lifted a flower up to her nose to smell it.
“Beautiful.” Ken smiled as he knelt down beside her in the grass.
His arm slid around her waist as he lifted her up to his chest. He leaned his head down and began to leave soft kisses on her neck.
“Sounds like Mikah has his hands full.” He chuckled as another loud baby cry ripped through the air.
He looked down at Alexa and furrowed his brows.
“Is everything okay? I can’t feel you right now. Are you blocking me?”
Alexa stared out in the distance quietly. “Do you ever think everything is too quiet right now? I feel like we’re all waiting for destruction to happen, but we have no idea when to expect it.”
“Bad things always come and go, Lex. We can’t focus on that. We have to focus on what brings us joy and live our lives to the fullest. No matter what happens, I can promise that nothing will ever happen to you.”
Alexa leaned her head back. “What about our child?” she asked as she removed the mental block.
Ken started to say something and then paused. He quickly stood up, pulling her up in his arms. “Are you … are we? We are? We really are?” He felt like he couldn’t form a coherent sentence as he stared at her in shock. They’d been trying to conceive ever since the vision she had last year.
“We’re going to have a baby.”
Ken looked down at her and couldn’t help but smile widely. “I’m so happy.” He leaned down and kissed her over and over again, his heart beating faster in his chest. He never thought he would ever have a family of his own. A family with Alexa. He was ready for this.
Ken leaned his head down and kissed her stomach. “I love you both so much,” he whispered as he rested his cheek on her belly.
“I feel like we’ve waited for a lifetime for this moment. And now we’re actually having a baby.”
Ken lifted her up in his arms. He cradled her against his chest and pressed his lips against hers.
“I love you so much.”
“I love you too.” Alexa smiled as he kissed her again.
Ken spun her around in his arms and laughed in pure joy. “I’m going to be a father. We’re going to be a family.” He continued to kiss her passionately, as if he would never be able to stop pressing his lips against hers.
“We need to tell everyone.” He shifted her around in his arms, flung her over his shoulder, and took off running toward the house.
“Ken!” Alexa screamed out as she threw her head back, laughing.
He got to be her protector …
He got to be her mate …
And now he got to be the father of their child.
“Thank you for everything,” Alexa whispered.
“No. Thank you, my love. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so alive.” Ken pulled her down from his shoulder and back into his chest, then softly kissed her forehead and her nose. He ran up the path and kicked open the door to their home.
Ken grinned widely as he shouted into the room. “WE’RE HAVING A BABY!”
The story continues with Book 6 Oh For Fate’s Sake.
Book 6 is a bit different, and I almost made it book 5 1/2. However, the story is important to the main storyline and needs to be read.
Book 7 The Lycan Princess will go back to the Chain family. Events that are seen in Oh For Fate’s Sake will be relevant there.
