PROLOGUE

ONE MONTH LATER

AYLA

I was sitting on the beach and was watching Solomon teach Milo how to skim a rock. The sun was setting. It was a good day. It was Milo's 6th birthday. He was six! I couldn't believe how fast he was growing. He was getting bigger.

As I looked at my two boys playing with rocks, I never would have guess that I would be here, at the beach where Solomon and I first met, with our son. Who knew?

It has been a month since the war. Ever since then, people have been rebuilding their homes. I think it was a sense of healing and confirmation that there is peace now. There's no more rogues and no more Kendrick.

Solomon told me that they found him and that they killed him. He didn't give me details and I didn't ask for them. However, I think we both knew what happened. But I thought it best to just leave that in the past. And there is no use dwelling there. It was now a time for healing and for peace. That is exactly what I got this past month. I have definitely had my struggles mentally. Sometimes old feelings would come back, the depression, the shame. But I had Solomon with me now. And also I had Ayla...the Ayla I carry in my heart.

I felt so much more whole now. I think it's made Solomon happy. He was happy that I was going to be okay. I loved him so much. He has been the most amazing mate.

When I think about it. Our love story is crazy. I hated him with everything I had, and now look at me, I couldn't get enough of him. I smirked to myself. Some people would have never been able to get through the hard times, but we did. It goes to show how far forgiveness gets you. If I had never let go of my anger and resentment towards Solomon, I probably would have gotten so depressed, I would have killed myself.

But that was not the case. I did forgive him, and he helped me through the hardest times of my life. I went through the dark tunnel and he was still there at the light in the end. I couldn't have asked for a better mate than him.

This has probably been the hardest couple of years in my life, but strangely I think it's been the best. Because I found myself. I remembered the Ayla I was before Kendrick. And I was so happy. I felt her again. I felt the life again. It was amazing...and I know that this will set me up for life. I will go on working to be whole, but it will be easier now with Solomon and Milo.

Milo came running to me and showed me the shells he had collected. He also showed me that he could skim a rock...even though he really couldn't, but I congratulated him anyways.

Solomon came up behind me and circled his arms around me waist. He kisses my neck and whispers, "You are so beautiful."

I laugh and playfully hit his arm, "Stop, Solo, our son is only a couple metres away."

He chuckles, "Don't worry, he won't see anything."

Solomon turns me around to face him.

"I love you," He tells me with total adoration in his eyes.

I smile, "And I love you, Solomon Nightwalker."

He leans in and presses his lips to me. I circle my arms around his neck and pull him in closer. My new hobby was literally kissing him. I would kiss him every chance I got...and he loved it. He found it funny how much I wanted to always kiss him.

I think it gave me comfort and thankfulness to know he was still here with me.

***

Later on we finally got back to the pack house. I put my beautiful little Baba to bed. He said he had the best birthday ever and as a mother...it's one of the best things you could hear from your child. To know you brought them happiness.

I gently close his door and turn around, but smash into a very hard chest. Hands come and grip my hips to steady me.

"Hello, Little Wolf," Solomon said

I smiled playfully, "Hello, Handsome Wolf. What do you want?"

There was a mischivious glint in his eye, "I got an idea."

I tilted my head in question.

He smiles, "Let's sneak out."

"Solomon," I said through a quiet laugh, "We haven't snuck out in years. And aren't we supposed to be adults?"

He groans, "Stop sucking the fun out of everything! We're still young! Come on, let's go stargazing."

I laughed as he pulls me by my hand. He leads me away into the woods to our special place. I stood there as I saw the rock we would sneak to, to go look at the stars. It was amazing. I couldn't believe it. It was like I time travelled back to the last night we were here.

Solomon was already sitting on it, He waves his hand over, "Come on, Little wolf! Don't keep me waiting!"

I laugh and climbed up the rock. I sat next to Solomon, "I feel like I teenager again."

"That's because we kinda are. I mean, we're only twenty three? Is it really that old?"

I shook my head. Oh Solomon.

"I got surprise for you," I said excitedly. He turns around and grabs something from behind a plant. My eyes widen in shock.

"How did you even find that?" I exclaimed.

"I kept it. Just in case you might want it again," I looked down at the radio I brought here almost seven or eight years ago.

"We were only, what? Like sixteen? Seventeen when I brought this here?"

Solomon shrugs, "Something like that. Come on, let's see if it still works."

I pressed the button and the familiar light switches on. I gasp excitedly, "Oh my gosh! This is insanely nostalgic."

Solomon and I picked a station. We couldn't find one that played good music so we just left it to play. Solomon laid down and patted the spot next to him. I laugh and laid down next to him, lying my head on his chest. He wraps his arms around me and I sigh in content.

"Isn't it weird that the last time we were here, we weren't together? We didn't even know we were mates."

"I did," Solomon confessed.

I look up at him, "What'd you mean?"

"I knew we were mates. It's just something I sensed. I mean, we were best friends, but at the same I felt like there was a deeper connection," He looks down at me and winks, "I knew you would be my destiny,"

I groaned, "Enough with the corny line, Solo."

He laughs, "Yeah well, I tried!"

We both laughed. Slowly our voices died off and we laid their in silence. We just looked up at the stars and admired them together.

I think this was one of my favourite memories. We have gone through so much. We have felt every kind of emotion towards each other, hate, love, guilt, adoration, shame. Everything. And yet, here we are on the other side. We came here as different people, but the same people as well.

I sighed in content and peace, "Solomon?"

"Hmmm?"

"I love you. I know I say it often. But I was thinking of all the challenges we went through. It's crazy that we're even here, right now, in our old spot. It just reminded me of how crazy our lives are, but we still stood strong."

He looks down at me, "I love you too, Ayla. I think the reason we got through it because knew what we had was too important to give up, even if we didn't know at the time. Goes to show how powerful our love is."

He continues to stare at me and smirked.

"What?"

"You're eyes are so blue. They sparkle so much. It seems like you have your own set of stars." He whispered to me.

My breath hitched because that's exactly what he told me eight years ago on this very rock. I remember. I was scared of the feelings I was getting for him. Now look at us.

I smiled and snuggled into my mate. I sat up slightly and looked down at Solomon. I leaned and pressed my lips against his. He wraps his arms around me and pulls me on top of him so than I was straddling him. Our kisses got more heated. He gripped my hips tightly. But then suddenly he stops, "We can't, Ayla. You're not ready. I don't want to push you or-"

"I'm ready," I confessed, "Please, Solomon. I need this. This will help to move on. I don't want Kendrick to be the last one to have touched me."

I saw determination and passion in Solomon's eyes, "Okay," He says. He lifts me up and lays me down on the rock. He leans in and starts kissing me sweetly and ever so gently, making sure he wasn't pushing the limit.

He slowly began to kiss down my neck. My breath hitched at how good it felt. His lips left a trail of fire on my skin. His kisses went lower and lower until he was between the valley of my chest. I bit my lower lip to suppress a moan.

He took his top off and continues to kiss me, but I felt him start pulling the straps of my dress down my arm. Excitement was all I felt. He slowly pealed my dress down my body while kissing my neck. leaving me in just my underwear.

His brows raised in surprise, "No bra?"

I laughed, "Nope."

"Yusss," Solomon said. He leans down kisses down to my chest. His lips cover the peak of the left side of my chest. A Moan escaped my lips. I hear him growl which only turns me on more.

His hands slowly went to my underwear and takes them off. I was now fully exposed to him. I was nervous but excited. He looks up and down my body, "You're so beautiful, Ayla."

I blushed and looked away quickly.

He took his own pants off, exposing himself too. He leans back over me. I wrap my arms tightly around his neck. He kisses my forehead and says, "You ready, Ayla?"

I nodded my head. I couldn't even form words. The ache I had for him was unbearable. Slowly, I start to feel him push inside. It felt okay. He took it slow which I was grateful for. Once he was fully in, he asks, "You okay?"

I smiled and nodded my head, "Yeah."

He started to move and that was when things got good. My body was used for sex...it had only ever been used for love once...until now. He wasn't having sex with me...he was making love to me.

I felt him start growl, "Fuck," He said breathlessly. I felt this climbing feeling. An ache that kept going higher and higher.

I moaned as I felt this feeling keep going up until it finally reached the climax. My body shook as an explosive feeling of pure euphoria flooded my body. My insides clenched in satisfaction. Solomon himself let go.

He pulls out and smiles down at me. He gives me a kiss, "I love you, Ayla."

Tears prickled my eyes, "I love you too, Solomon. With all of my heart."

***

The sun was going to rise soon. Solomon took me up the mountain we had camped at for over a year. We sat up on the cliff. He wrapped his arms warmly around me and pulls against the safety of his chest. I leaned my head back and he kisses my hair. The sun finally came out over the land and shined it's golden light upon us, promising a bright future. I've never felt more content in my whole life.

I look up at Solomon and saw how happy he was. He looks down at me and his eyes soften, they were filled with adoration. He leans down and presses his lips to me.

We were going to be okay. We were going to love each other. And we were going to get grow old together and watch Milo grow.

Tears fell over my eyes. I was so happy. I was so whole. My heart was full of life and full of love for the people around me. I couldn't have asked for a better life.

THE END

I made a little video thing just to finish off the book. It's pretty crappy, but I thought it would be cool to get to visualise their story. HOWEVER, it was so hard to find clips, so the video may not be going off the actual story written, but it has the general idea of what's happening. Anywaysss..

Also Zeus us finally published! The first few chapters have already been written. So enjoy!! Just a warning, Zeus will be much more...I guess fantasy-ish and magical-sh. You will definitely read different things than you would in the Blood Moon pack series.
