EPILOGUE
Hy, lovelies??? This is the last Chapter of HYBRID’S REDEMPTION. I am grateful to everyone that followed me through this journey.
P. s: Alfred would have his own story, and I invite you to join me in exploring the stories of Nadia and the new Alpha before delving into the adventures of Alfred, the vampire King. Thank you once again. ? Xoxo

Dear Danika…
Congratulations on the birth of your son, Richard Roland Lockhart. I am indeed of uttermost gratitude that despite my betrayal, you named your son after me. And even more delighted to tell you that my daughter’s name was equally named after you, Danika. I did so because I want her to grow up and become a woman of strong will and yet a kind heart like you.
Paisley said I should tell you thanks for everything. Maybe someday, we will be bold enough to visit. Till then, I pray you to forgive us, and know that from the depth of my heart I will never stop saying ‘I’m sorry’
Yours, truly.
Roland Lockhart.
I sniffed and wiped the tears that had cascaded down my face and looked up at Mrs. Dolly who was sitting away from me close to the cradle, with my baby in her arms.
“How are they?” Mary asked.
“Did he mention where they are?” Nadia craned her neck. I shook my head and sniffed once more.
“Maybe in his next letter he would inform us.” I delved deeper into the covers, feeling a tad bit cold. “I am glad they are doing fine…” I smiled bitterly. Mary nodded.
“He still feels guilty as he should,” Mrs. Dolly rocked the baby while speaking. “I hope someday, the goddess would forgive him for his transgression.”
“She would.” Mary fiddled her fingers. At first, I didn’t want to read the letter in her presence but she insisted I did. I am very delighted that over the months she has been able to overcome her heartbreak and was working toward forgiving him.
So many months have passed and the full moon festival had come and gone. It was indeed a hell of a ceremony. Several activities were carried out from football to wrestling, sparring, and others. Other packs also performed activities in reverence to the King and after that, they went back to perform their pack full moon ceremonies as my mate officially gave his blessings.
After the ceremony, I told him it was time we started visiting the packs to know how they were fairing. And to my surprise, he didn’t argue. According to him, he said he needed to make sure the pack Alphas were not like Derrick.
Aha! He also granted me my wish of watching them burn! Their bodies were delivered to us here and right in the middle of the pack, their bodies were set ablaze as traitors of the Kingdom.
It was painful, yet, satisfactory to me. That was the first time I allowed myself a taste of coldness. While it wasn’t euphoric as I thought, I was glad they were burnt.
And also I had a friendly talk with Lance. He is now making adequate efforts toward being happy with his mate.
The nursery door swung wide open and Alonso came in, nursing a wide smile. “Is that my heir being wrapped like some sausage?” We all broke down laughing as he strutted into the room and went to take Richard from Mrs. Dolly, and the baby released a wide grin. For a little pup, he was growing faster every day.
My bundle of joy and the apple of his father’s eyes.
My friends stood and came to hug me and made their way out of the room, leaving behind the three of us.
“How is my Queen doing?” He came to sit beside me with Richard.
“As her King left her…” I scooted closer to wrap my hands around his midriff. He bent down to kiss my head and sniffed me intently.
“I couldn’t concentrate during the meeting…” he confessed.
“And why is that, huh?” I needled him in amusement.
“Someone kept occupying my mind or will I say some people?” He rocked our boy.
“Well, now that you are here, I think Richard would do well in his cradle because his mother would need some pampering here, what do you think?” I kissed his arm.
He feigned thinking about it and then looked at our boy- looking very tiny in his huge arm and inquired playfully, “What do you say Daddy have some fun with your mummy, my boy?”
Richards’s response was to stick out his tongue and licked his red lips, his similar sharp blue eyes that he acquired from his father, glistening as though he wanted to smile.
“It doesn’t look like he is cooperating, Munchkin,” Alonso said and stood up, going to place him in his cradle just as a knock came on the door and it opened to his nanny and Theresa walking in.
Seeing Alonso in the room, Theresa hesitated and I instantly stood up and went to the cradle, smiling at her. “Richard, granny is here to see you,” I told him and started pushing Alonso whose face had furrowed, out of the room.
When we were laying on our bed with me nestled in his arm, he sighed and kissed my head. “A lot has happened, Munchkin…”
“I agree,” I admitted.
“I’m glad we made it this far…”
“Yeah…”
“So, concerning our vacation, when do you suppose we start planning for it?”
I thought about it. “That would be after we visit the new pack…” I considered my next words. “And about that, um… Can I bring my friends along? Mary and Nadia. They want to see the new pack and I don’t have it in me to disagree with them.” I pouted with puppy eyes I knew he can’t resist.
He exhaled-possibly thinking of telling me to go to hell with my friends. But then, he said, “Okay.”
And I instantly straddled him and peppered him with hot kisses. “You are the best, baby.”
“Anything for you, Munchkin… so, can we have fun now that Richard has company…?” He tumbled me to the bed and replaced my former position. I giggled and swatted his arm in jest.
“Yes, my King! Anything for you…” I managed out before he claimed my lips and sealed the promise of our foreverness.
The End!
