I miss you, Callie.

I wish she could be here and whisper her special blessings over my children. To love and cherish them, like she loved me.

I place Austin's hand on my belly again and lean into him. Our family is growing, and our lives have come full circle.

Callie may be gone, but Austin and I will carry on her legacy of hope and light.

Our pack has been through so much, but we've emerged stronger.

Austin has grown so much as our Alpha. He is strong and wise but also open-minded and kind. Our little ones will be lucky tohave him as a father. I know he'll teach them the importance of leadership, compassion, and justice.

I can already imagine Cleo fussing over her new baby siblings and Gage pledging to defend them with his life.

As for me, I finally feel like I've found my place in this world. I feel at home in my skin, in our pack.

We have created something beautiful here. This family and community we've built, it's everything I've ever dreamed of.

The fire crackles merrily beside us, keeping the chill of the night at bay. Above us, the moon glows full and bright, bathing us in silver light. I gaze up at her pockmarked face and send a silent prayer into the darkness.

Guide us on this journey into the unknown. Let your laughter echo in the voices of my children, and your strength flow through their veins. We will teach them your stories and remind them that even on the darkest night, the moon still shines.

I place my hand on my belly, which holds the future of our pack, and I swear that I hear Callie’s voice drifting to my ears on the wind.Fate is never wrong.

The End
