Chapter 414 Epilogue

After seven years our Archive is finally up to date and we have finally found some form of normalcy in our lives.
Crimes still happen, but at least now we can pass judgement within a few days of the crime. Rejection are also still happening, but in most cases we don’t have to intervene and that might have to do with a small change in the law.
“Mom, Maxic is being an ass.” Cassandra says, the moment she walks in the door and the look in her eyes tells me that he has been teasing her again.
Maxwell loves telling his Sister that he will be the next Alpha of Blood Stone Pack, that he will do a better job than me and that really pisses Cassandra off. According to Cassandra there is no one that can do better than me and I love her to pieces for it.
“What happened, Little Lycan?” Noah asks and she crawls onto his lap, ready to rat o her Brother.
“Maxie said that Liv will be his Luna and when I told him there might not be a connection between them, he said he would chose her over his connection.” Cassandra says and I see Grandma getting out of her chair.
Grandma returns with Maxwell in front of her and Liv is walking behind them, a small smile on her face.
“Maxwell, is it true what Cassandra just told us? You would deny your connection for Liv and take her as your chosen Mate.” Grandma asks and Liv steps next to him, nodding her head in the process.
I thought we had raised our Pups the right way, but looking at Maxwell I fear my Son might not understand what his own words imply.
I keep looking at Maxwell, as Grandma asks him what happens if a couple have a true Mate–bond and he knows exactly what it will do. He also is able to explain what happens with a chosen Mate, but Liv just looks disgusted when Grandma asks which bond would be best and Maxwell gives her the answer we are hoping for.
“So, even though you know that a true Mate–bond will make you stronger, you would take a chosen Mate if there is no connection between you and Liv?” Grandma asks and we allow Maxwell to think about his
answer.
“No, Gramma. I will chose a true Mate–bond, I was just teasing Cass. Liv said to Cass that she would take me as a chosen Mate and I know how Cass feels about that, so I played along with Liv.” Maxwell answers and Liv starts screaming and stomping.
“You are mine. I will be Luna.” Liv yells and before I can try to calm her down, the door to our Residence opens. “Mommy, Maxwell is going back on his word. He said I would be Luna.” She throws herself in her Mother’s arms and I wait for her Mother to talk to her.
“Sweetheart, you still have more than ten years to convince Maxwell that you are the better choice.” Her Mother says and I look at my Mates as if I have gone deaf or something. She can’t be serious, Liv might have another Mate and her Mother tells her she can have a chosen Mate.
“Not happening.” Maxwell says. “If there is no connection between me and Liv, I won’t take her as my Luna. I will have a true Mate–bond with my Mate, I will never take a chosen Mate.”

Liv is crying again and her Mother does nothing to make her see reason. All six of my Pups are getting at bit annoyed by Liv’s crying and I see Cassandra give her Brother a small nod.
“Besides, I am not the future Alpha of Blood Stone Pack.” Maxwell says and Liv immediately stops crying, she looks at Cassandra who has a huge smirk on her face. I know this is going to create a whole new level of trouble with Liv, but Maxwell and Cassandra can handle it.
The following day, I get called down to the garden behind the Pack–house and I see Harper holding on to Maxwell and Cassandra. Liv is crying with a hand against her cheek and her Mother is yelling at Cassandra.
“What is going on here?” I ask and three voices start speaking at once. I just let them, Topaz and I can manage listening to multiple voices at the same time and it isn’t difficult to figure out what happened.
“Liv, if I understand this correctly, you and your Mother are against a female Alpha?” I ask and both of them nod their heads. “Then I would like to know what you are doing here at Blood Stone Pack?” I ask Liv’s Mother and for a moment she looks at me.
“My chosen Mate lives here and he told me that his Alpha would have no problem with us being chosen Mates.” She answers. I am not against chosen Mates, it is their decision and if they are happy, who am I to stop them.
“Don’t say a word.” I order Archer through the mind–link, I want him to hear where the problem lies.
“Ava, why are you against a female Alpha?” I ask her and Archer is staring at his Mate and her Daughter.
“A female isn’t strong enough to be an Alpha, she can never carry out the punishment some Pack- members deserve. I am grateful to live in a Pack with four strong Alphas and a Luna that cares for her Pack–members.” She replies and I hear my Mates chuckle behind me.
“Ava, let me educate you on Blood Stone Pack. I am the Alpha, I initiated you into this Pack and that should have been a big clue as to who this Pack’s Alpha is. Cassandra is one minute and twelve seconds older than Maxwell and that means that she will take over for me as Alpha.” I say.
Ava is shaking her head, not able to believe or understand what I just said and even after Archer tells her that I am the Alpha she is still shaking her head. “No, I will not be a part of a Pack that is lead by a female. Archer, we are moving to another Pack.” Ava says, but I know Archer won’t move for her.
It takes me an hour to calm everyone down, but Ava is no longer Archer’s Mate and Harper has already reached out to her former Alpha.
I know the future will be turbulent for all of us and I doubt we have seen the last of Ava and Liv, but right now I can’t care about that.

My life is complete. I have my Mates by my side and I am the Mother of six very stronghead stubborn Lycans, three girls and three boys. The girls are all a minute or so older than their Twin, not that anyone outside our Pack can tell.
I lean back against Nero’s chest, looking at our Pups and my other Mates. I will always cherish moments like this and take time out of my busy schedule to spend time with my family.
