You Kissed My Soul

Chapter 60: Epilogue

Aderyn Pov

The moon shone brightly and the howl of the wolves echoed my ears, as I looked in front of me sadly

witnessing the funeral process of the dead wolves. It turned out, the dagger couldn’t bring the lives of

the wolves who passed away early. Only the wolves who died nearly the time when I got the dagger

back were saved. I looked at the side to find, Cole and Jenny standing looking sadly at the deceased

wolf’s bodies. Blake and Bella were comforting the dead wolf’s mates and the wolf who lost their friends

howled showing respect and feeling sorrowful for the loss.

Dylan encircled his arms around my waist and pulled me close. A tear escaped my eyes, as I looked at

mates of the deceased wolves crying their eyes out. Some of the packs lost their alphas and it was

heartbreaking to see the sadness in the whole pack’s eyes. Somewhere deep down, I felt guilty.

“I can’t help but think that this all happened because of me,” I told Dylan and felt his arms tightening

around me.

“No, it’s not like that. It was meant to happen. The only person to be blamed in this is Edna, this all

happened because of her. It’s only because today we have lost so many companions. You don’t need

to blame yourself for anything,” he said.

I gasped when I saw the body of a familiar person. The beasts attacked the house and the female

warriors among with normal wolves had to fight too. Cole despite being wounded fought in his terrible

state managed to fight but lots of female warriors and innocent lives were lost in that fight but among

those lives, we lost a precious and nearer one. Lily.

We lost her and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw her body. Her left hand dangled from the

stretcher from which her body was being carried. I walked up to her and held her hand and slowly put it

up on her other hand. I couldn’t help it any longer because I burst out in tears when I saw her face. Her

eyes closed, hair on her side shoulder, her mouth partly apart. Scratches, bruises, and wounds marred

her beautiful face. She couldn’t even meet her mate. That made my heartbreak even further because

here, two people who were supposed to be destined for each other couldn’t meet.

I felt Dylan pulling me back my waist as we moved back and stood back watching the deceased one

being carried away. The witches stood their quietly as they performed some spell over the deceased

bodies and chanted some mantras in their mind for their piece. It was not a sight to behold. Even the

pups who lost their parents cried and sobbed crestfallen. The burial process was to be held soon and

we all closed our eyes and prayed for the deceased one for redemption.

Five months later

“Aderyn?” I heard Dylan calling me through mind link and I walked to him to the kitchen to find him

pouring soup in the bowl.

“What happened?” I asked and walked to him and held his arm and leaned against him and watched as

he garnished the soup with parsley leaves.

“Eat up,” he said and I hummed in response taking two bowls from him, I walked back towards the

drawing hall where I took my seat on the sofa next to pregnant Jenny and handed her one of the bowls.

“Thankyou,” she smiled and I watched Cole leaned down and pecked her cheeks before taking a seat

next to the Tv.

Jenny was three months pregnant and Dylan told me that Cole told him, Jenny is expecting twins

because she could hear two heartbeats from within her. Everyone was sad after that war. The other

packs returned to their respective lands and the packs who lost their Alphas has new alphas, some

alphas are young, the son of their deceased father while some are the betas who took their alphas

position.

Nobody was happy, nor anybody talked for many days about the war. Everyone was missing Lily. But

then, their buried place was filled up with flowers and roses, people didn’t forget to visit their grave

letting them know that are live within our hearts. It didn’t matter if they left us but we all can never forget

them ever.

Two good things happened in these five months, and that was Blake found his mate. He went to the

neighboring pack after three months of the war for inspection, if the new alpha was taking good care of

the pack or not and there he found Crystal. An eighteen year old, blonde with brown eyes chubby and

kind Crystal Morgan. We all were happy for them because Blake was smiling and laughing again.

Finally, the sadness in everyone’s eye dissipated with his good news because he was the kingdom’s

beta and people were happy with his happiness.

Another happy news was the kingdom’s warrior and his mate expecting. We found out Jenny was

pregnant and that filled our heart with joy. Slowly, slowly the sorrow and pain in everyone’s eye began

to dissipate and finally we all here, starting the new phase of our life with happiness.

“My lord!” I gasped when all of a sudden Estelle stood before me out of nowhere catching me off guard

and causing the bowl literally fly up in the air but I managed to hold it back before I could spill the hot

soup all over the carpet.

“Jeez! Estelle,” I said once I held my breath and looked at her in shock.

“Sorry my Queen,” she bowed in response.

“What is it, Estelle?” Dylan asked as he emerged out of the kitchen room and stood behind me.

“Good news,” she said with a smile.

“And that is?” Cole asked curiously.

“The Elders are coming,” she said and we all stood up from our respective place out of shock.

True to her word, even Dylan got a message in his mind which told him that the Elders are coming. I

paced around filling the anxiety growing up from within. I kept on rambling about what should I do? The

Elders were like God to them and I was going to meet their God, as much it is a good thing, it filled my

heart up with anxiety thinking what if they didn’t like me.

“Finally, they are coming. What took them so long?” Dylan said as I looked at him from the mirror.

“How will I know that?′ I asked and rubbed my forehead in aggravation.

“Hey, What happened to you?” he asked as he walked to me and turned me around to face him.

“I don’t know, how am I going to face them? What should I do? I can’t help but blame myself for the

war. It was because of me that we los-”

“Aderyn, we have already talked about this. I told you it’s not your fault. Stop blaming yourself,” he said

and I sighed.

We all waited standing in the meadow waiting for the Elders. I looked everywhere around myself.

Would they emerge out from the woods? Or would they emerge from that direction? I kept on thinking

and even thought why do we need to wait under the open sky? But then all of a sudden we all saw as

lightning struck the ground few yards away from where we all standing and the clouds flashed few

times. My breath caught in my mouth when I looked up at the sky and towards the clouds where three

wolves emerged out. The wolves massive in size, even probably four times bigger than Dylan himself.

A Strange blue aura surrounded them and they had this shining red diamond-like stone fixated in their

forehead. Three of them looked the same but the left side had a little light red and blue aura around it.

The middle one stood in the front while the other two stood just behind the middle one and they all

looked down especially at me.

They were as if floating in the sky with the flashing clouds surrounding them and we all stood on the

ground looking up at them.

“Bow!” Dylan informed me through the mind link and I bowed down immediately in submissive and

salutation.

“The human Queen,” I looked up at the middle wolf when he addressed me. The strong pitch of his

voice echoed my ears even after he wasn’t talking.

“We are here for you to address you as the Queen of the Kingdom,” the left side spoke and then only

knew it was a female one.

“You passed every exam for being the perfect queen. The war didn’t go unnoticed by our eyes and we

are delighted to say that you are the perfect Queen that the kingdom needs. We are aware, of your

previous life and your courage, braveness, and kindness has won our respect and hereby, we would

like to throne you as the Forever Queen and the first ever human queen to behold the place,” he said

and I bowed when a ray of light emerged out of his red stone from his forehead and fell on me. I felt as

if I was cocooned by an aura of power and I felt the strength growing in him to the extent where I felt I

could literally lift up a heavy person by my only hand.

“Before we go, answer us what would you chose when there comes a situation either you chose your

family or your mate?” they asked and I felt Dylan gripping my hand.

“I would choose family, my lord” I answered without even thinking and all of a sudden I felt sadness and

feelings of being dejected crawled up my heart and I knew whose emotions that were. Dylan.

“Because?” he the wolf in the right asked.

“Because my mate is one among my family,” as soon as I said that happiness and joy took the place of

the previous emotions.

“As we had expected the Queen to be,” the middle spoke and we all bowed when they turned around

and ran into the clouds disappearing from our sight.

“I am your family,” Dylan said as he leaned down and pecked my lips.

“Of course you are,” I said pecked him back.

Candles were lighted in the dark room and the bed was filled up with rose petals.

I felt him kissing the back of shoulder as he encircled his arms around my waist and turned me around.

He placed butterfly kisses all over my neck and pulled me closer to him which made me giggle. His

finger moved up and he untied the knot of my dress from the back of my neck and let the dress slip

down my body. It was our night. We were to consummate and he wanted to make me his forever. Like

him, I wanted to make him mine and be his forever. Every time he called me beautiful and made me

love, he made me feel special and wanted. Finally, I was seeing the other happy side of my life. I used

to believe that my life is hollow and dark, but then he came into my life bring rays of hope and the

reason for me to live once again.

Sometimes, I wondered what would have happened if I jumped off that bridge after I lost Nancy, what

would have happened if I never met him. Would I be somewhere else? I would shiver not liking even to

think about that. I was completely his and he was mine. The future was waiting for us and forgetting the

past we held our hands and walked together to our bright and happy future.

Twenty years later

I stood in the corner talking to the witches and Lunas of different packs.

“Your highness you look gorgeous today,” one of them said and I smiled at her thanking her for her

sweet words.

It was a special day for us. Today was mine and Dylan’s twentieth anniversary. Twenty years of being

together in pain, sorrow, happiness. We fought sometimes but then we couldn’t stay away from each

other. Inseparable. Our bond has grown with the time as we aged I began to forget every single

suffering and pain that I had endured at the early stage of our life.

“Where is our princess?” I heard Dylan and I looked back to see him and Blake looking towards the

other side. I couldn’t help but smile seeing our nineteen years old grown and turned beautiful Gracie

walking towards her dad as she ran to him and he engulfed her into his arms lifting her up.

“Dad,” she laughed when he twirled her around.

Gracie was studying law and she came here to meet us for our anniversary. I smiled looking at them.

They looked happy. Even in his late forty’s Dylan looked the same just some crow feets, laugh lines on

the side of his eye and some gray hair told us that like us he was aging as well.

“So, this is what I saw,” I heard Cyreanna whisper and I raised eyebrow at her confused about what

she was talking about. She smiled and shook her head no speaking a quiet ‘nothing.’

“Mom,” Evan our fifteen-year-old boy walked up to me and pecked my cheeks.

“Where were you and what are you wearing?” I asked looking at his low hung ripped jeans and black

leather jacket.

“Mom it’s called fashion,” he said and took a step back when I tried to touch his hair.

“You call this way too ripped jeans a fashion? Are you kidding me? It’s not ripped but torn jeans,” I

complained seeing the torn part of the jeans which showed his knee.

“Mom, please!” he argued and it when both Gracie and Dylan walked up to us.

“Dylan look-” he cut me off “Let him wear whatever he want,” he took his side.

“Thanks, dad,” Evan smirked at his dad. Evan looked exactly like me while Gracie inherited her Dad’s

look and hair.

“Really Dylan?” I glared at him. It was only because of Dylan that both of my kids were spoiled. He let

them do anything they wished and wanted and that always nagged me.

“Fine, wear whatever you want!” I threw my hands up in the air and walked towards the food counter.

They don’t want me. Why should I keep nagging them to behave or wear like this when everything that

does gets a green signal from their dad? None of them ever consider my advice. Fine, I won’t ever stop

them.

“Love,” I heard Dylan from behind me as I picked up the grilled chicken and put it on my plate ignoring

him.

“Aderyn,” he kept his hand on my shoulder but I jerked it away.

“Don’t touch me,” I hissed at him.

“Today is our anniversary love,” he tried to lighten my mood and I huffed at him.

“So? It is my fault that today is our anniversary?” I questioned and turned around glaring at him.

“You are ruining them, you don’t understand it!” I complained as I picked up my plate and walked

toward the table.

“No, I’m not,” he argued.

“I just want them to have the life which we both didn’t have,” he said as he took the seat before me.

“But that doesn’t mean that you will bring and let the do whatever they want,” I complained ad shoved

the pieces of chicken into my mouth.

“Love,” he called and I averted my gaze away from him ignoring him.

“Love?” he called me again only to be ignored once again.

“Look to your side,” he said and I did without even complaining and felt as the spoon fell from my hand.

There he was Evan. He went back and had changed his clothes. Gracie smiled as both of them walked

to us. Evan was now wearing a white plain decent shirt with sky blue decent jeans. His hair was

combed neatly and I felt tears threatened to spill my eyes when I looked at him. It was the first time

ever when I was witnessing him in decent clothes. He looked like me, a complete reflection of me but

with Dylan’s eyes and smile. Now, he looked like a prince.

He walked up to me and stood next to me. I got up my chair and looked at him from up to down. He

was only fifteen but he was already of his father’s height that made me look up at him. I smiled satisfied

with his new look and looked at Gracie knowing it very well that it was her work.

“Surprise,” they both said in unison and I clamped my mouth with my hand finally letting my tear spill.

Tears of joy.

“Mom, always emotional,” Evan said and hugged me.

As he pulled away and began to roll up his sleeves, I slapped his hands away and rolled down his

sleeves.

“Mom!” he complained.

“Shut up!” I said and smiled satisfied.

“Look, Dylan, I can’t believe our son is so handsome,” I said dreamingly and felt encircling his hands

around me.

“That’s because I am handsome,” he said snorting at the end that made us laugh.

So, this was my family. We supported and cared for each other. I learned an important lesson when I

met Dylan and it was never to give up on life even if you are in a terrible condition. I would have never

been able to make it this far in my life without Dylan, and I loathed the fact that there was even a time,

when I wished my life to end but now, when I think of it I feel proud of myself that I didn’t let the darker

side of me to control my life else, I wouldn’t have been here. As I wrote it down in my diary I looked at

my family portrait and smiled. It was how life should be.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
