Moments later, Kennedy, Jax, Theo and Ledger walk through the door holding a large bouquet of chrysanthemums. I beam, even more so as my best friend Lulu walks through the door with her new partner. Mrs. Perry isn’t too far behind, the older woman fussing over her grandmotherly duties.

I look around at each member of my new family allowing myself to soak in the happiness having them in my life brings me.

After years of fighting, convinced that I would never find happiness, here surrounded by my pack, I finally am free.

Free to love. To live. To make mistakes and learn from them. To heal and process the trauma that broke me for so long.

Because this is my family.

My life.

And no one can take that from me.

Not ever again.

THE END
